I feel like not knowing your measurements could be a problem. I remember when I was younger, I would always mix up tablespoon and teaspoon, and that stressed me out so much. But now it's fine. But I guess if that was something you're super new to, that would be a little rough.

So I found out the hard way that you can't put metal in the microwave. I was eating a Klondike bar, like the ice cream bar that's covered in the metal tin foil, and it was way too freezer burned, so I wanted it to be a little bit softer so I could just eat it quicker. And so I decided to put it in the microwave for a few seconds, which I know it's crazy to put ice cream in the microwave, but done it before. Didn't realize you can't put metal in the microwave. Learned pretty quick that that's a mistake. So, turned out fine, but learned my lesson.

I think a common cooking mistake for me is all like at school I'll be like okay this is what I'm gonna make for dinner tonight and then I have this whole plan and then I forget that I didn't have my chicken or my meat thawed before so then I can't end up making it which ends up being really sad. So definitely plan your meals beforehand and remember to take stuff out of the freezer to let it thaw so that you can actually cook.

The most common and abhorrent cooking mistake I've seen is the use of the abomination that is garlic salt. I get it, we love garlic stuff, we like salty stuff, it's delicious, but if you use garlic salt you are effectively surrendering your agency as you use it. You cannot decide the ratio of garlic to salt that you use when you use garlic salt. Very frequently you'll find that it is too salty or too garlicky. There is no balance. Stop it please. Take the extra step and get out the garlic and the salt. Measure it or just sprinkle it on according to taste. It doesn't matter. Outlaw the abomination of garlic salt.

A common cooking mistake that I got roasted for by my friends when I first got to college was that you need to wash your rice before you cook it because of all the plastic that is surrounded in the rice bag it can like rub off on it so when you wash it you're washing out all the plastic and all the bad stuff and the extra starch so wash your rice.
