that was my worst cooking experience ever. i miss my own dishes. i will get them this weekend. even if i have to go back to dirty next house. not that next house is that dirty. we have al, after all.
cast iron really sucks. stupid toledo and their cast iron cooking material companies. everything sticks to it. therefore, broccoli burns. did i mention burning broccoli sets off the smoke detector? it is very loud. and it has no off switch. that meant i had to pull it off the ceiling and disconnect it from the power supply.
i didn’t even try meat. i just boiled some eggs instead. that did not work right either, as i put them in too hard and cracked them. my fault there. and handles really need insulation. how the heck do you pick these pots and pans up?
i guess my cooking skills have regressed a lot.
i do not believe my landlords cook very much. their utensils and pots and pans and appliances are kind of out of order. they only own shallow frying pans. their knife is very, very dull. oh well. i think i am too asian.
i am tired. already. but not from work. i think i am just sick still. i should sleep or dream or something.
oh crap!!
yes we discovered the poor quality of their pots. i was using my hoodie as an oven mitten. but that is suck about the smoke alarm.
and right when i was reading your post, my mother’s pot of something started boiling over and i was unconscious of this. my mother ran over and chastized me for ignorance, and that i better not burn down our apartment.
we’ll go kitchenware shopping. at least, for the stuff that we need during the year too.
if you go grocery shopping and ever want to make curry, they have curry in the asian area. you just follow the directions on the back and pop in the curry powder. it is great stuff.
