yessss thank you

@Stargatemaster96 after looking online I saw that, so I seared them on a high heat at first, then turned the heat way down and cooking them for a much longer time on a low heat. searing them to trap the moisture inside

pan fried them by the way. just got my special pan and cooked em on the stove in a lot of butter

Hard to go wrong with butter. What's your special pan? I have a nice tri-clad I use for most things but for meat I prefer tried and true cast iron.

20 dollar pan I got from Winn Dixie

lol

Hey, we all have to start somewhere. I have a few nice pans I treated myself with when starting graduate school and moving into my first apartment but most of my pans are hand-me-downs or gifts.

If you want a pan you can cook but also move to the oven, Lodge cast iron skillets are cheap ~$20-30 and will last multiple lifetimes if taken care of.

They are also american made.

yeah the issue is the stove in my house is glass top, so I cant use cast iron skillets. at least thats what ive been told.

and I really dont like cooking, but sometimes there isnt anything in the fridge to eat besides things that have to be cooked, or my tastebuds really want me to exert some effort

Old cast irons may scratch glass tops potentially but if it's new and you don't slide it all around you should be fine. One of my stoves is glass top (my apartment is weird, I have a small two burner glass cooktop in my apartment but then have a communal older style electric range that four apartments share) and haven't had any problems or signs that my pan would scratch it.

I think if you have used a cast iron in a fire it may have some carbon buildup that could scratch but new cast iron is smoothed somewhat usually before being sold.

gotcha. the stove is old, and my mother and I both have a bad habit of sliding the pans around, so probably not the greatest idea for me lol. I bought the 20 dollar pan because thats what I can afford, dont need to fuck up the oven. lmao

Hubby went shopping.

I used it to make a curry dish...I know, wrong culture...but it tastes sooo good!

Looks delicious!

If you ever want a cheap good meal for 3 or 4 get 1lb of turkey and 2 packs of the chedder broccoli rice, brown and break up the turkey, season with salt pepper and what ever seasonings you like. Cook the rice according to the package then mix the meat in (after straining the meat) and let it thicken up for about 2 minutes, then plate and serve. It may not seem like much but it's filling and warm, and if turkey is high priced or you don't like it substitute it with any meat you like/is cheapest/available except for fish it turns out poorly with fish.

I thought turkey was supposed to be cheap, but last time I checked it at the store it was more expensive than ground beef, but I like beef more anways.
