Cook Mode walks these one at a time, with timers and a way out when things go sideways.

The idea

Oh. You know how to make dinner. Not follow one; make one.

Substitutions

  • everythinganything comparable. That's the entire lesson.

  • Whatever you made, in a wrap.
  • Fried rice, if you made rice. You know how now.

  • Raw chicken touches nothing you'll eat raw. Wash hands, knife, and board with soap before moving on. Done is 155°F on the thermometer; it rests to 160.
