Such an odd juxtaposition between recognizing the oven needed to be cleaned and not thinking of a way to prevent the mess lol.

Hope the young chef is still in the kitchen and better than ever.

Every oven I think I've ever opened has always had like 8 mismatched trays in it, I think I assumed they just came with the oven.

Maybe the oven didn't have a baking sheet so he didn't think of it. Like for BBQ you cook directly on the grill

I was excited to take home ec, but little did I realize it was basically for people who had never been in a kitchen before. If you were a kid who had parents/grandparents who cooked and let you help out, you were miles ahead of the game.

We made brownies. From a box. Taco salad. Forget what else but it was all box food type stuff. If you're a kid in the US who doesn't have a home cooking tradition Home Ec isn't going to teach you shit.

When I had it, we learned much more than just cooking...

I remember they taught us how to do laundry, how to iron clothes, how to sew, how to balance a checkbook (yeah I'm old shut up), among other things.

Very useful actually, and despite it being over 2 decades ago, I still know how to do all of it.

The most homemade thing I made in home ec in the 90s was pancakes.

I already made pancakes at home lol

Makes me really sad when people can't make a cake without a box or can't make a basic roux or something. Really take for granted my privellege to have been exposed to basic stuff like that.

to be fair, learning how to make even boxed meals is still better than nothing if you're from a home life situation where you've received zero food prep knowledge

That was 6 yrs ago. Wonder how lil bro is doing 😂

[–] demonquark@lemmy.ml 33 points 1 day ago

I assume he’s doing great.

My mans was cooking his own food; realized (own his own) that his way of cooking was suboptimal; and then asked for help.

That approach is to life is going take him far.

I was mocked for not knowing how to cook macaroni and cheese in my class.

Blame a kid who has never had it before why don’t you.
