    My favorite thing about the way Cooking Mama was advertised was instead of saying "Hey, do you not like the food at home? We'll teach you how to cook!" they went with "You need a new mother entirely and we will replace her" 💀💀

      For this i dont recommend non stick pans because you cant get hot enough without disrupting the coating, if you have a stainless steel pan youre good to go
      You heat up a pan really well
      You can check if your pan is hot enough by throwing droplets of water on it
      If the droplets form little beads, its hot enough
      If the water form bubbly puddles, it needs to heat up more
      When its hot enough, you can put in your neutral high smoke point oil and then your egg
      Cover it because it splatters a lot and its gonna cook the top of the egg more so you wont get the snotty uncooked white
      It cooks really fast so dont look away
      If you want you can cut off the heat and let the residual heat cook for you
      If you did it well, the egg shouldnt stick to the pan and cleaning it up will be pretty easy
      (Sorry if i didnt explain it well its kinda hard to explain it without showing)

    19:03 I seriously love that the overwhelming amount of warnings about shaking a baby are included lol. As someone who works in childcare, learning about 'Shaken Baby Syndrome' is soooo important especially because it can be caused by something most people don't even think about. Like no one (at least you hope so) makes the conscious decision to shake a baby- but heats of emotional action are a thing! So constantly plastering everywhere the importance of being gentle with the babies is so nice. Because like- imagine a kid whose gonna be an older sibling playing the game. It's a nice (kind of) subtle way of teaching how to gently take care of babies.

      I've got a really simalar story to that. As a kid I had a Tamagotchi DS game that had you run all these different shops and each shop was a minigame. My favourite one was the takoyaki shop where you'd make the amount of takoyaki requested by the customer. A few years ago something reminded me of that game and it caused me to look up a recipe for it. It ended up making me really interested in japanese cuisine as a whole, especially their street food and there's tons of recipies I wanna try. I still haven't made takoyaki yet because you need a special pan for it and I haven't got one yet but one day I will.

The basic prep for most veg people know is to boil it, but on a sheet pan with a couple shakes of olive oil and salt, then in the oven until it starts to turn a little black in places. Most people don't like broccoli because it gets gross when over-boiled, but it absolutely smacks if you roast it until it chars a bit.
      Also some things like snap or snow peas you put in the pot and as soon as the water hits a full rolling boil immediately take them off and rinse them in cold water or prep an icewater bath to dump them in (this is called blanching) and it results in nice crunchy and really vibrant green vegetables.

      "So you want some dirt on "Science Papa" to splash on your site? I'll shovel it. We dated briefly (when he had much better hair). And now he clearly wants a piece of the best-selling pie by associating himself with an incredibly successful, and I'll emphasize, happily married, woman. Frankly, he never appreciated my cooking and I grew weary of his tedious "experiments."

    If you salted your egg mix that explains why it became wet. The salt draws the moisture out of the eggs. The more you cook it, the more liquid comes out. Season at the end instead to avoid this.
    Theres a chance that the crab meat may be salted, eg if its preserved in brine. That salt may have done this. Cooking Mama likely used fresh crab meat in her recipe.

    Congrats on learning how to cook. It can be embarrassing to start cooking at an old age, but it's really nice to see your dishes and build up your cooking book.

    I played SO MUCH Cooking Mama on DS it's like...insane. I wanted to have all the coins, all the clothes, all the recipes, and honestly, it's part of what drove me to take a cooking course. I intended to make it my career but working in a commercial kitchen is an absolute nightmare. BUT taking the class and graduating was never lost, I cook a lot at home and my partner also does and we have a great time making amazing food. Cooking Mama truly was an awakening to the world of food and I love it for doing that.

    Before this video I had buried babysitting mama deep in my memory banks. I will now resume having nightmares about the stupid wii baby crying at 3am because my sister snuck out of bed to play. Ahh memories.

    EVERYONE said it was the wrong way, not knowing theyve ALL been using can openers the WRONG way their whole lives. Burback used it the right way, or the PROPER way, you dont open it so the lid will fall in, or you have to stick a knife in ito to get it out. YOU LITERALLY JUST DO IT SO IT NATRUALLY OPENS.
    Sincerely, a professinal cook of 12 years.

      You need a can opener that's made for that (or at least one strong enough to puncture the sides, which are significantly thicker than the top), not just a dollar store special, or else you're going to drop metal shavings in the food.

      @The7DirtyWords 28 дней назад +1

      @Chocomint_Queen if you're buying can openers from the dollar store, just go buy the cans that have the ring on top to open them. 90% of can openers are designed to be used the RIGHT way, the way I described, the way he used it in the video. I have a can opener from the 90s and it works both ways. But it's suppose to open up not fall in the food you want to eat.

      The problem with the eggs was that they continued to cook after being removed from the skillet. This suggests that the ideal time to remove them from the skillet is not when they are fully cooked, but rather just before.

    Might wanna strain the juice from the crab meat next time, fellas. Most canned meat you'll wanna do that.
    Good on you for developing a new skill though.
