Don't forget to make sure you have all the ingredients before you start.

As safety, never leave knives on the countertop when you're cooking something, wash it and put it away as soon as you're done. Check burners, stoves and ovens to see that they're turned off correctly after you're finished using it.

And PLEASE, if you really don't know, or never cooked before, get your parents or an older sibling to help. wink.gif Have fun, and happy cooking!

If you're watching your weight or blood sugar, you can use Splenda to cook with as well. Butter substitutes usually work fine in place of fatty butter.

Always turn the saucepan handles in when cooking on the stove so they don't hang over the edge.

Also its important to keep a good eye on the things you cook. Sometimes things get heated faster and you may end up burning food. Remember to keep your attention on the stove and the things you are cooking biggrin.gif

Thats not fair T_T, i dont want to be supervised. They are hella annoying and stubborn when they see me cooking. They complain that i add " too little " or " too much " or .. i should "add" this and that .. gawd.

Anyways, congrats for being a game champ.
