What can I cook as an absolute beginner? I can make eggs on my pan but that's it.

You could heat up other things in your pan until they look good. Like onion, garlic, bits of meat, paprika, or potatoes.

Eggs is a great start. If you can cook stuff in a pan you're doing good. Now try doing something like a really simple spaghetti Bolognese. It's basically just frying some meat in a pan until it's brown, then once you have that, turn down the heat a little, add sliced onions and chopped tomatoes, and cook some pasta in a saucepan for up to 10 minutes.

If you can do egg you're into something good, you can bake them, microwave them, fry them, boil them, or poach them. Try making a mushroom omelette with spinach if you like eggs, imo those two ingredients accompany egg really well.

Thanks for the suggestions lads. I think my next attempt will be the spaghetti like the poster in the last post suggested. Eggs are based but it can't be the only food I eat.

Spaghetti carbonara is also easy as fuck

i genuinely don’t believe people when they say they don’t know how to cook
aside from knowing to put oil in the pan, cooking is intuitive
a monkey could figure out how to cook if you gave him a stove, a pan, a utensil, and refrigerator full of ingredients

Stream that monkey, if you are so great. People would pay money to watch that. Acquire a monkey and have people donate money on stream. 100 bucks decide which ingredients we throw into the enclosure next.

But that's absolute beginner cooking? Also you don't just get a fridge full of ingredients to experiment. Most often you're trying to work on a budget.
