What’s one rule of cooking all amateurs need to know? :)

Katelyn Stratichuk

Clean as you go. There is nothing worse then running out of space or tools when cooking. And doing a pile of dishes after eating is the worst

When making any recipe, read through the WHOLE recipe, ingredients and all directions before you begin. The ingredients may say something like "1 cup sugar, divided". You'll want to know exactly how much is divided and where each portion is used in the recipe. Enjoy, and happy cooking!

Keep your knifes sharp you're more likely to hurt yourself badly with blunt knives because you have to apply more pressure when using them

Read the recipe fully before you start cooking. Get all of your ingredients prepped first. Taste as you go, clean as you go. Don’t be afraid to make mistakes. You can’t get better unless you practice!

Mis en place! Get all you ingredients out, measured and ready to go BEFORE you start cooking.

cover your baking sheets with foil or parchment paper and save a ton of time and pans!

Milan No, it isn't..

Taste, taste, taste.. And drink some water before you taste.

I think that all amuture cooka should cook food on an lower temperature then called for and pay attention to it as this creates less chance of burning your food.
