Definitely a crockpot....also, you don't have to cook three meals a day! Canned soup, chef boyardee...in moderation! Salads and then add chicken, chickpeas, tuna...something different each day
If either of your parents are good at cooking, you really need to take some time and learn from them. That’s one of my regrets as my parents were great cooks, but I didn’t learn anything from them.😮. Meal prepping is a great idea. Just remembered to never eat anything that you forgot to refrigerate, especially if it is pasta or rice.
Google recipes, like others have suggested. Get yourself a meat thermometer so you can make sure that you are cooking meats to the right internal temperature. I had to learn to cook in college too. You got this!
Lots of good recipe websites and cookbooks to help with recipes and cooking techniques. But, yes, it takes up a lot of time, both the cooking (your brother is right, the meal prep *always* takes longer than it seems it should) and dishes afterwards. Also, keep a good supply of your favorite no-cook items, for me that's peanut butter and jelly or cottage cheese and fruit (fresh or canned) for those days when you just don't have time or energy.
If I can cook, you can learn! Get a good skillet and some PAM spray and start out with that. I suggest starting with ground turkey burgers. Don't forget the veggies!
Spaghetti is always an easy meal. And it helps if you have the same meals on certain days of the week such as taco Tuesdays, that way you will always know that on Tuesdays it’s going to be tacos for dinner which by the way is also an easy meal.
internet has tons of recipes. youtube has tons of cooking examples and lessons. for emergencies i had a few canned or frozen foods i could quickly heat up.. just stay away from ramen noodles. for fun side projects, learn to bake cookies, brownies, cakes, and pies.
Don't be afraid to make mistakes. Not every recipe will go as planned. Sometimes you'll get distracted (or fall asleep) while cooking, and the eggs you were boiling will explode. 😂 It's not a mistake you make twice, believe me! Just have some quick options in the cupboard for when you screw up, like your macaroni-and-cheese, or canned soups, and cook-from-frozen meat and fish dishes. Keep a notebook of your experimental recipes, and a separate one of your successful/favourite ones. TH-cam also has hundreds of cooking channels, with thousands of recipes. Try things you didn't grow up eating. Keep staples well-stocked. If you're fortunate enough to get along well with your roommates, see if they'd be willing to share the cost of big packages of rice or pasta, so that you have those on-hand when you need a basic side, on which to build your meals. There are lots of instant or premade sauces, that you can build your palate on, and then learn (or create) your own variations. Sauces are pretty easy to make, and basic white-sauce, glaze, and pasta-sauce recipes, will provide a basis for new variations as you learn. Autumn is a great time to get comfortable learning to make soups. Bulk cooking is your friend, with a busy schedule. If they're something you can afford to buy (Another split cost, perhaps?) get yourself an air-fryer and a rice-cooker. Those two appliances save so much time and hassle. The air-fryer can be used to create so many dishes, and you can adjust cooking times to suit personal tastes. Good luck, Tate. You're gonna have a great time learning to cook, and every success is going to build your confidence in doing so. Mistakes will happen, but the successes will far outnumber them.
You can Google simple, easy to make recipes. I’d suggest considering getting a slow cooker to just throw stuff in and let it cool while you’re in school and it’ll be ready when you get home. Easy peasy. Whatever you do, you’re a bright guy so you’ll be just fine.
I live alone and I suggest: SodaStream = no high fructose corn syrup drinks. Fun choices of flavors(maybe a water filtration device if local water is an issue) A Granite Bluestone pan for sautées(think fast) A toaster oven(I broil pork tenderloins that will get me three portions of protein). A George Foreman grill for doing filets and chops. Have fun exploring food and have a great year!
Aside from all the good advice that has already been noted here - is Hello Fresh available in your area (I think it exists in the USA; I live in Germany, so I‘m not sure)? You order meals every week and they deliver the ingredients in just the right amounts and with (more or less) precise instructions. Since you apparently have no experience in cooking, this is one good method for learning how to cook, what goes together, how to do prep, etc. They offer something like 30 recipes every week, and my experience has been very good. Most of the time, the meals are good to very good. You might look into it.
Depending on the Sq footage and the number of bathrooms, cleaning a bathroom will be an every day chore. There are soo many meal prep choices available, healthy ones! A toaster oven, convection oven, or slow bake oven times will keep you healthy and gives you time to stop from your busy schedule to take time and enjoy your meal. If there is a huge group of guys, find and throw in for a housekeeper & possibly prepare some meals a month. Perhaps girlfriends could help with the huge tasks at hand.
As someone who has been in this exact predicament I feel I can offer you just a little advice. Never be nervous about wanting to try and cook something for yourself (as someone once told me the more you cook the more confidence you will get). Go online and google - there are literally tens of thousands of sites of recipes that are suited just for "recipes for beginners" most are NOT difficult with just a little bit of prep needed. Most good book stores will have cook books suited to your needs ( just ask) . No need to feel nervous, I went through those exact feelings myself. Chin up, but most of all have fun trying and enjoy what you do
Hey bro, I got a suggestion for you with seven dudes, find out which one has good meals and learn from him. You can always go to TH-cam and learn from just regular people.That might help you!!
You’ve been AVOIDING learning how to cook all summer! Well, I’d say it’s time to pay the piper I’m afraid. Life is a tough teacher. It gives the test first and the lesson later.
For simplicity, get an air fryer & a Crock-Pot & watch TH-cam videos. You'll be amazed what you can do--almost failproof. Tip 2: Meal prep for the week on Sundays. Again, several helpful videos that can help with grocery lists, meal planning, & step-by-step instructions. You've got this!
your no dummy, your going to learn & build more character spirit & self esteem as you always have- little wiser today than yesterday. America needs more responsible good moral compass weaned Tates- THANKS
I'm assuming there is only one kitchen so I'm thinking the hardest part will be cooperating with the roommates (food sharing, cost sharing, & who is cooking when during every man for himself situations); I hope I'm wrong.
Meal prep for multiple days at once. Also buy pre-chopped vegetables to save time and cleanup. The hard part is cooking the right amount of food. I find myself throwing out a lot.
I don't recommend trying to share a fridge with more than 2-3 other people - there is no realistic way that each person can even store a week's worth of food. Get your own fridge if necessary.
When I went to live off-campus I tried that for one semester & meal prep/planning definitely added to the stress of college life. My grades even somewhat suffered. Next semester I bought the meal plan---what a relief to just go over to the cafeteria 3 times per day---worth every penny of the cost. Unless your apartment is substantially distanced from the college's dining hall just spend the money to eat there.
My advice: keep two meals the same every day and only vary one. I do yogurt with berries and granola for breakfast, sandwich for lunch, and varied things for dinner. Helps to pick a roommate to cook with too; cooking for two is the same amount of work as cooking for one and less work if you split it.
Will you guys have a microwave and a toaster oven? That is essential, you can make healthy food in them. The number one thing I think of when buying food in a grocery store is to read the container labels and avoid high sugar and high salt, and otherwise the fewer the ingredients in prepackaged food the better. There are tons of easy recipes on the web. This will be an exciting learning experience for you.
and tons of cooking videos on youtube. just do a youtube search for what you want to eat before you go shopping a couple hours before your latest eat time.
Eat whole foods if you are concerned about nutrition. Apples, oranges, bananas, lettuce, celery, grapes, broccoli, asparagus, tomatoes, mushrooms, carrots, sweet corn, green peppers, potato, cucumber, radish, bell peppers, pineapple, peas, avocados, green beans. You should add beef two or three times a week. many, many to choose from. If you know what you're doing you would never have to cook, or at least very little. Remember when you cook something you cook most of the nutrition out of the food except for tomatoes. Good luck with your first week at college.
Crockpot could be your friend. Probably lots of sandwiches. Interested to know, if your one of eight people, how that is going to go, when it comes to food. I love just pasta and sauce, some garlic bread.
My advice: 1. Make a list for your basics that you'll need all the time first, so your salt, spices, rice, etc. Ask your mum what staples she keeps all the time and then use that as a guide 2. Every week, set aside maybe an hour, say on a Saturday morning, and make a list of meals for the week. Easy stuff like Monday- chicken and rice and Tuesday- burger and chips. 3. Using that meal prep list, look at what youre going to need for those meals, say if you have wraps on one day, but youre out of wraps, add wraps to the list. 4. Decide if based on your schedule, you want to set aside one whole day for shopping and cleaning your apartment. Or if you have a few hours on Sunday, go shopping on Sunday and a few hours on Tuesday, then do cleaning on Tuesday and use those days for shopping for your tasks. 5. Throughout the week, keep a list on your fridge or counter of a list of things that get finished that you need to buy, say youre almost out of toilet rolls or your chilli spice, add that to the list. Don't wait until something is finished to add it to the list. Also add to the list of things you just want. 6. Don't be afraid to ask your mum how she cooks something. It's her food you're used to so chances are it's her recipes you'll like the best Ps, apologies this is so long, hope this helps 🥰
Couple of things to remember: No metal in a microwave (aluminum foil). Make sure the container is microwavable. Look for simple recipes on the internet. As you get more experience, cooking gets easier and better. Peanut butter and bread and milk make for a quick snack.
Prep ahead for multiple days and cook enough for leftovers that you can make different meals from. Wrap and or freeze items will stay fresher longer. Try to avoid processed and fast food! Lastly, label your food unless you plan on sharing! We tried sharing meals as roommates. It didn't last long. Everyone had different schedules, different budgets, different likes and tastes. A group family meal is awesome on occasion but doesn't work well with multiple roommates. Good luck!
First while cooking stop playing with your hair. Unless you like hair in food. You can look into meal plans like Hello fresh etc. I Cook enough for two people and make Enough for another meal for us another day. Like a pot of chili goes a long way. I freeze bags of chili then I take out of freezer the morning of and lay in sink. I can then put into a bowl and microwave. Cook off several chicken breast ( grilled or baked) freeze in separate bags and you can that for dinner add salad greens or a veggie either canned or fresh you will be cooking like a Chef in no time
Also get a Wok are great for your stirfries and other things and easy to use. TH-cam has a lot of fantastic ways to do meal preps and just cooking recipes so don’t forget..haha❤
You can always order meals from hello fresh or other healthy meal delivery plans. Otherwise do bulk cooking. Chicken tenders with a pasta and fresh veggies are easy to prep
Breakfast is the easiest and fastest meal of the day...and the most important. You gotta start off satisfied for your day. You need fuel. Get a griddle and you can make eggs, omelets from leftovers, pancakes, sausage in a jiffy. Clean up is minimal.
So it means that you’ll have lots of ‘food stories’ to report about in the coming months. Don’t worry, being hungry will give you ideas for food ! Take a walk to the supermarket and wonder yourself about what is available…
Come on. 2024, just get on with this. Were you really a boy scout? Good luck with college and don't give up - and don't eat processed or takeaway crap.
Everyone should learn to cook while living at home. Well, let me restate that. There should be cooking classes for everyone, in school. When you think of school (I don’t mean college) you think of it preparing you for life. There use to be a time when you took classes on shop, home economics, as well as financial classes. Today you rarely see classes like these. And these are essential to living! First off, all parents should allow their children in the kitchen to learn basic cooking skills. Second, don’t think of cooking as the fast track to filling up your stomach. Cooking takes time, and making good meals takes time. BUT, making a meal should not have to take you over 30 minutes if you plan it correctly. Breakfast for instance, is less than 15 minutes to make a meal. That’s 15 minutes to cook, 20 minutes or less to eat, and then 5 minutes to clean up. That’s just for a basic egg sandwich. If you want something more substantial, you have to allow for it. And cooking healthy doesn’t take more time, just more planning. Read your labels, buy fresh ingredients, and plan how much time you need to prepare meals. Planning and allowing time to prepare, cook, ear, and clean up is a daily thing. It’s not to be rushed through. Think about cooking and the elective class to your college course. It has to be done or you won’t survive. (Unless you plan on having someone doo all your cooking the rest of your life, but don’t count on it) So the next meal that is coming your way, instead of asking how hard is it to do, ask if you can help, and learn in the process. There is no time like the present to start. Happy cooking!❤
I was gonna say also that when you’re in college and you think you and your roommates are going to cook meals for each other I’ve had that experience in it hardly ever works out the way you think it’s going to work out because of air base time and all that.
7 other guys? They going to be stealing your food. Buy masking tape and a fat Sharpie an label EVERYTHING! You are not being an asshole, you are being realistic.
Maybe get your housemates to form a food rota. Each one of you cooks a meal for the group. Then you can all have a signature dish. If I was you I would learn to cook Chilli or spag bol.
Good grief I was hoping you were going to say you're nervous about going to a reputable place to get a haircut instead of this dollar general Trump thing you've got going. Cooking isn't an issue. It's the cleaning up.
Fish and chips on Fridays...lol
Let's go bideo brother 🎀
Don't worry you can beat this hurdle👍
Btw keep you chain on when you are going packing 😄
Learning to cook should have been one of your summer goals!
Definitely a crockpot....also, you don't have to cook three meals a day! Canned soup, chef boyardee...in moderation! Salads and then add chicken, chickpeas, tuna...something different each day
If either of your parents are good at cooking, you really need to take some time and learn from them. That’s one of my regrets as my parents were great cooks, but I didn’t learn anything from them.😮.
Meal prepping is a great idea. Just remembered to never eat anything that you forgot to refrigerate, especially if it is pasta or rice.
Have a meeting with your bros about what gets shared. Get your own small fridge, too.
You can do this. 😊
my best advice is to cook in bulk and freeze portions
Google recipes, like others have suggested. Get yourself a meat thermometer so you can make sure that you are cooking meats to the right internal temperature.
I had to learn to cook in college too. You got this!
Cook double and only cook every 2nd day. Or cook and freeze for days you too busy. Or each person has a day to cook then you only cook once a week.
Lots of good recipe websites and cookbooks to help with recipes and cooking techniques. But, yes, it takes up a lot of time, both the cooking (your brother is right, the meal prep *always* takes longer than it seems it should) and dishes afterwards. Also, keep a good supply of your favorite no-cook items, for me that's peanut butter and jelly or cottage cheese and fruit (fresh or canned) for those days when you just don't have time or energy.
If I can cook, you can learn! Get a good skillet and some PAM spray and start out with that. I suggest starting with ground turkey burgers. Don't forget the veggies!
Sounds good! Eight guys in one apartment? I hope you can heat all of your meal preps. Without any going missing!
Spaghetti is always an easy meal. And it helps if you have the same meals on certain days of the week such as taco Tuesdays, that way you will always know that on Tuesdays it’s going to be tacos for dinner which by the way is also an easy meal.
Good luck 😮😮😮😮😮
Also, bring a humidifier for your nose bleeds. My roommate get them and I lent him mine. Best wishes this school year brother.👍💪
Crockpot and air fryer
Most recipes are designed for a few servings so you make it and then package it up so you eat one, refrigerate on to microwave / reheat and freeze one
If you like raw carrots keep some around...great for health ..stamina.. hydration
This would be fun!
internet has tons of recipes. youtube has tons of cooking examples and lessons. for emergencies i had a few canned or frozen foods i could quickly heat up.. just stay away from ramen noodles. for fun side projects, learn to bake cookies, brownies, cakes, and pies.
You know cooking might just be similar to painting. You first didn't think much of it. But then you grew to love it. Best of luck
I think you gonna cook your best. Best wishes!
Don't be afraid to make mistakes. Not every recipe will go as planned. Sometimes you'll get distracted (or fall asleep) while cooking, and the eggs you were boiling will explode. 😂 It's not a mistake you make twice, believe me!

Tate, try making casseroles on the weekend, then during the week just pop them in the oven.😉
Buying a recipe book will be great it will help you out!

Cooking is new box to check off I think you'll do just fine. Get a slow cooker it has recipes and instructions that will help

Ps, apologies this is so long, hope this helps 🥰
There’s a chance one of your roommates will eat one of your carefully planned meals. Always have a plan B.
❤❤
Casseroles...meals in a slow cooker...meals you're able to eat more than once (leftovers are awesome!)...that helps with time management...
Couple of things to remember: No metal in a microwave (aluminum foil). Make sure the container is microwavable. Look for simple recipes on the internet. As you get more experience, cooking gets easier and better. Peanut butter and bread and milk make for a quick snack.

hopefull one of the guys you move in with loves to cook
The first thing I made when living on my own was Lemon Bread with an icing. After I did it I realized I can make anything. Just follow a recipe.
You have made 7 sandwiches on Sunday, and you have 7 guys in the house. They will be all gone by Monday. LOL.
No way seven sandwiches will last with that many guys! 😂
Slow cookers are your best friend and good luck..lol❤
Breakfast is the easiest and fastest meal of the day...and the most important. You gotta start off satisfied for your day. You need fuel. Get a griddle and you can make eggs, omelets from leftovers, pancakes, sausage in a jiffy. Clean up is minimal.
Go ahead and get the meal plan to fall back on…also as others have said get your own small fridge for your room
Sustenance cooking is not difficult. Make sure any raw meat you purchase is thoroughly cooked.
So it means that you’ll have lots of ‘food stories’ to report about in the coming months. Don’t worry, being hungry will give you ideas for food ! Take a walk to the supermarket and wonder yourself about what is
available…
What was ur job btw?
Come on. 2024, just get on with this. Were you really a boy scout?
Good luck with college and don't give up - and don't eat processed or takeaway crap.
Hot Pockets and potato chips
Get a Air Fryer , I have the Ninja about 16" sq. Life is so much easier with it. Use it ever day.Will you have a SAM's CLUB or BJ's near by ?
🙂🌼♥️
If you can boil water (or use a microwave) instant oatmeal for breakfast works well.
be care with those egg sandwiches because eggs can make you sick if not stored correctly. TikTok food video could help you a lot 👍
frozen food is a quick and easy way to make meals. although not the healthiest
Everyone should learn to cook while living at home. Well, let me restate that. There should be cooking classes for everyone, in school. When you think of school (I don’t mean college) you think of it preparing you for life. There use to be a time when you took classes on shop, home economics, as well as financial classes. Today you rarely see classes like these. And these are essential to living!
First off, all parents should allow their children in the kitchen to learn basic cooking skills. Second, don’t think of cooking as the fast track to filling up your stomach. Cooking takes time, and making good meals takes time. BUT, making a meal should not have to take you over 30 minutes if you plan it correctly. Breakfast for instance, is less than 15 minutes to make a meal. That’s 15 minutes to cook, 20 minutes or less to eat, and then 5 minutes to clean up. That’s just for a basic egg sandwich. If you want something more substantial, you have to allow for it.
And cooking healthy doesn’t take more time, just more planning. Read your labels, buy fresh ingredients, and plan how much time you need to prepare meals. Planning and allowing time to prepare, cook, ear, and clean up is a daily thing. It’s not to be rushed through. Think about cooking and the elective class to your college course. It has to be done or you won’t survive. (Unless you plan on having someone doo all your cooking the rest of your life, but don’t count on it)
So the next meal that is coming your way, instead of asking how hard is it to do, ask if you can help, and learn in the process. There is no time like the present to start.
Happy cooking!❤
Get a recipe book and just follow it!!!
I was gonna say also that when you’re in college and you think you and your roommates are going to cook meals for each other I’ve had that experience in it hardly ever works out the way you think it’s going to work out because of air base time and all that.
Never buy pre cooked Chickens very un health.Look it up .I'll thing of some easy meals late
7 other guys? They going to be stealing your food. Buy masking tape and a fat Sharpie an label EVERYTHING! You are not being an asshole, you are being realistic.
Maybe get your housemates to form a food rota. Each one of you cooks a meal for the group.
Then you can all have a signature dish. If I was you I would learn to cook Chilli or spag bol.
Oh no! You'll never survive your own cooking! 😱
Good grief I was hoping you were going to say you're nervous about going to a reputable place to get a haircut instead of this dollar general Trump thing you've got going. Cooking isn't an issue. It's the cleaning up.
