Timsilver:

The electric stove is what gives it the funny taste and also makes it burn quicker cause most of the heat is concentrated at the buttom of the pot. Try using gas and you will see the difference mind you gas burns faster and keep cooking in a short while you would notice how well you have improves.

Can people be more myopic than this cry

When your instinct say go check that food, then go check the food and don't say well I just checked some minutes ago.
Food also will taste more sharply than when you apply seasoning and salt, so always apply a bit little than you want to and also make sure you do apply not late than 20mins to when food will be fully cooked. Don't stress or fret when cooking and most importantly don't cook angry, cook with love in your heart, like you are a famous conductor of a symphony orchestra and your food will begin to taste real good and with time you will understand the different aroma in the stages of cooking a meal. Goodluck

nadia_SA: Well i grew up in a household which lived 90% take-a-ways and the other 10% my elder sis use to cook..

My mom a full time pastor so she hardly cook just buy buy and had no time to teach me how to cook at an early age. I'm older now(19) and live away from my home, have my own little family..

My problem is every time i cook i BURN my food always (first thought it was cause i'm on bbm/wasapp, but even if i stay in the kitchen it burns somehow sad .

If it doesn't burn it doesn't taste good at all at all. I've tried adding spices and all but it still doesn't taste any better! I really do not what to do now ... I want my food to taste like other women's food not like i was just playing and wasting food...

The burning may be due to the pot you use, don't cook with stainless or enamel wares, always use aluminum pots.
Secondly don't cook more than what the pot can contain
If its jolloff rice, stir it before it goes soft and don't touch it again and watch the water u add, if you want to add any seasoning after it has gone soft, diffuse it with a little water and spread it round the pot and don't stir.

I don't know any other food that is hard for U, u can inbox me anytime you need explanation on any other food u wish to cook.

well, u say ur mom has no time to cook, when I was growing up, I was forbidden by my father from goin any where near the kitchen. It was when I was in the university I learnt how to cook. Moral of the message I just passed is that u should STOP blaming other people for ur shortfalls. Instead try. I believe even the best cook on Earth started from 'nowhere' to 'NOW HERE' amidsts mistakes which resulted in burnt meals, tastless meals or even concoction unfit for human consumption. U burnt meals doesn't mean u can't learn how to cook. There is nothin impossible. If I a male child could learn how to cook when I was in the university amidst mistakes too u can do better just keep trying but this time get close to a friend who knows how to cook well and is willing to put u through
Re: My Food Tastes Funny - Please Advise by tutulicious(f): 12:34am On May 18, 2013
My lady, don't be discouraged. I was once in your shoes I know how it feels, I was constantly chased out of the kitchen because I had an accident in the kitchen that nearly claimed my feet, but my sister and anty made it a point of duty to always remind me mockingly that I can only eat but can't cook, whenever they cook and I eat out of it.
So I cooked with all the anger in my heart and I wanted to proof that I can cook too, and the result; funny tasting food, half cooked food, burnt food. I throw them all away, It got me really scare of ever cooking anything but the goodnews is that the same people who mocked me are loving my food.
Like someone said you have to cook with love in you heart and don't have it in mind that your food must be delicious, relax, cook for yourself alone. Start with small quantities really small, say for instance your cooking jollof rice make sure you prepare all the things you need first before putting on a fire source, and cooking is fun you don't need so much seasoning "maggi" and salt is for starters any more gives a funny taste and be sure to hang around your friends when they cook you will learn without them knowing. Sorry for the long post, I hope this helps.

nadia_SA: u want me to burn other peoples kitchens cheiiii but iv really thought of that but no time
@ OP no pun intended but that's a wrong mentality u've got there my dear. Ur a pastor's daughter check Ecclesiastes 3:1 And read " there is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the sun" If there is no time as u said, abeg create time form that busy schedule joor. Even the time u used to type this thread do chatting and other social things could b channelled into cooking practice. Remember u are an African woman and one great identify African women have is the art of cooking. U are still single I guess, if its true, pls make use of ur singlehood to learn to correct what ever u are lacking and to put to perfection what u've learnt in this case cooking. Trust me u don't wanna get married without a knowledge of cooking. E no go funny at all. Thanks
