Is this a good book to learn about cooking?

boiling is where you bring water to 212F and bubbles form and its hot

boiling an egg is putting egg into above friend

It probably is.Most of the dummies books are decent from the ones I read back in the day.

I dropped out of school in the 7th grade and years later got the GED for dummies and studied it for 2days and passed the GED test.
I'm a highschool graduate thanks to the dummies.

Thanks for the info. I was a bit skeptical of the Dummies books since I’ve read some criticisms about them but I don’t expect anything amazing. Just a decent basic amount of information.

As a beginner everything is so intimidating to me. I don’t know what the different (pans, pots, knives, cooking methods, spoons, forks, plates, cooking time, temperature, stirring) do and I’m overwhelmed.

Say something encouraging.

If i could learn to fry an egg at 8 you can too. start simple and focus on core skills. eggs are also good way to learn about spices

Luckily this is a moot problem. Come across a term you don't understand or have a question you aren't sure about? Google it.

Or better yet, watch videos on YT or whatever so you can clearly see the procedures involved. There's nothing to be intimidated about.

Pic related would be my pick to learn the basics. It takes you through the main cooking methods and has a bunch of recipes that are kind of meant to practice what you've learned for each section, but the recipes that I've made (probably half) are all really solid (better than the ones on the show, let alone the botched versions on the FN site that seem like they were transcribed by retarded interns).

What's the f stand for? Fuckwits?
0°c water freezes, 100°c water boils. What the fuck's 212F?
