Or, if you're a parent at home with middle or high school aged kids, now is a great opportunity to start teaching them the basics of cooking. For those who have never even boiled water before, this list of basics is a great place to start. While it doesn't cover everything, it does give you a foundation from where to start building your culinary skills. Being able to boil water can lead to making mac and cheese and then one pot pasta dishes, and so on.
