I don’t care about the rules. I don’t even know what the hell I’m doing most of the time. I do read recipes, but I don’t follow them. They are more like ideas for me, as in “oh they are using that spice with these veggies, might try that some time.”
Most of the time I just throw stuff in the pan/pot and let them be over the heat for a bit. So far, nobody has complained about the food. Though that might be because I eat alone.
To be fair, you’re probably doing better than how those dinner packets from Knorr would instruct you to cook their stuff by. A lot of the time, it doesn’t even come out right even if you did follow instructions.
lol I didn’t mean those sort of rules/instructions. I meant the stuff like “pineapple doesn’t belong on a pizza” type things.
But you are correct, the ready made meal instructions are often a bit iffy. One thing they get right is the consistency though. Once you figure out how long you need to boil things, you can get them done fairly well. Though I only use those Knorr bags on my camping trips and its always the last one that I cook, that I get right. Then by the time I go for the next hike, I’ve already forgotten lol. But luckily everything tastes better when you are in the wilderness.
