hopeless cook » chase&karina
“Okay, well…” Chase started “First I need you to grab a pan, put it on the stove and turn the heat on halfway.” Chase walked over to the counter and grabbed a bottle of olive oil. “We’re gonna need this as a base to fry the shrimp so it’ll be all good and… stuff. Also these shrimp are de-vained so we don’t have to do the dirty work.” Chase walked back over and handed Karina the bottle. “Ya’ think you can do that?”
Karina blinked, taking a few seconds to take in his instructions. It sounded like a lot at first, but once it was broken down... Pan, stove, heat, oil. That’s all it was really. She nodded in affirmation, taking the bottle of olive oil off the boy. “Right... I think I got it.”
She looked around the room, wondering where the pans were kept. None of the cupboards were labelled, but it would make sense to keep pans by the stove, right? She opened a couple of cupboards before she found one stocked with pans and took a medium sized one out, hoping that would suffice. Setting it on top of the stove, she inspected the controls for heat. This is where it usually went wrong when she was cooking for herself... She usually put it on the highest heat, hoping that would make it cook quicker since she was too lazy to wait. But he’d said half, so with a sigh, she turned the dial up to about halfway.
“Is that okay?” she asked her mentor, wanting to make sure everything was set up before the olive oil was put in.
