So, I boiled the beans with some herbs and added sea salt. I had soaked them overnight. Using the same pot, I then steamed the potato and organic carrots. In the microwave, I can cooked brown rice. The result: many days of non boring and nutritious meals! Thanks again!

Thank you. I plan to cook the beans, potato, and carrot together after soaking the beans overnight. I will add some herbs. To break the monotony, I guess I will cook for only 3 days and eat other stuff on the 4th day.

Thanks! 1. Do I soak the beans overnight? 2. How do I know when to add the carrots and potato? 3. How thick to cut the potato?

Thanks. I'll buy some barkeepers friend next time I go the store.

Okay, so I boiled white vinegar and baking soda and scrubbed a lot using some flat head metal tools (my brush was ineffective). The comet detergent I tried earlier didn't work. I got a lot of gunk off, but still a lot remains. I guess this will take a few days... My pot has also gotten quite...

Thanks for the offer Fiona, but I found a lot of guides online for how to do this. If I have questions I'll feel free PM you for clarification!

Omg so long!? Okay, well I'll stick with the bamboo for now and keep my eyes open for steel utensils. I'll buy some mineral oil or whatever to season my wok and the bamboos.

lol... maybe the total is 404 [internet joke]. One more question actually: Which utensils and material should I buy for the carbon steel wok and stir frying? Silicone, steel, nylon? I have some bamboo ones (the round one, the flat one with holes, and the round one with holes), but they get...
