Hello! Well, I just posted in the welcome forums, and basically, i have no cooking knowledge, and I am tired of microwaving food, and buying fast food and as a student my time and skills is limited, but i would like to learn how to cook and enojy my own food!
I need to eat healthy, less fatty foods
So here's my scenario I'd liek help with please:
I go to costco and buy a package of skinless legs and thighs. so what do i do from here?
1. I assume that next step, i rinse the chicken.
2. Next, i keep a couple of peices in the fridge to cook over the next 2-3 days, and package the rest in plastic bags and freeze.
3. since i dont have much pots and pans, i'd like to simmer the chicken in my pot (i tried boiling it to get the fat out, but it ends up tasting tuff )
and finally
4. when i take out the frozen chicken, its usually 2-3 peices in a sandwich bag that i put in a bowl of water to thaw it out for a couple of hours.
p.s. i know i need a meat thermometer after reading on this site, are they at target, walmart and safeway?
thanks everyone!!
