[quote=Anonymous]I was raised in India, 50 yrs ago. The first thing I learned to cook was how to use the electric toaster to make toasts. Next I was taught how to light a matchstick safely and turn on the gas stove top which looked like the stove below. [img]https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/71uDEWicXWL._SL1500_.jpg[/img] On the gas stove top, I learned to boil milk, boil eggs, boil potatoes and make tea. Next I learned how to make cake from scratch. We used to bake it in a table top plug in cake oven like below.

Though I do remember making chicken curry once when my dad forced me to cook when I was 8. :shock: I was so mad at him. Mom had gone for a day somewhere. Such a clueless man. Of course I had no clue and whatever I made was inedible. My elder brothers used to cook quite well and thanks to them I could cruise by for a long time. [/quote]
