Your cooking improves fastest when you build a reliable foundation of technique rather than relying on recipes alone; these ten skills will make meals faster, tastier, and more confident.
Knife skills: Practice holding the knife and using a stable claw with your non-dominant hand so you cut uniformly and reduce waste. Learn basic cuts-dice, mince, julienne-and how to maintain a sharp blade.
Mise en place: Set out ingredients, measure, and prep everything before you heat a pan. Organizing your workspace keeps timing precise and reduces stress during cooking.
Sautéing: Master heat control and the right oil to get quick, even browning without burning. Keep food moving and avoid overcrowding the pan to...

Nora McDonald, George Mason University - Social media apps regularly present teens with algorithmically selected content often described as “for you,” suggesting, by implication, that the curated content is not just “for you” but also “about you” – a mirror reflecting important signals about the person you are.
All users of social media are exposed to these signals, but researchers understand that teens are at an especially malleable stage in the formation of personal identity.
