How can I get my brother to learn how to cook his own food?

He doesn't eat anything. The only thing he knows how to make is English Muffin Pizzas and reheat pizza.... How can I get him to learn how to make his own grilled cheese?! I'm like, come on, you're 17!

Just stop making anything for him.

Anyway ... bachelor meals are baloney sandwiches and Ramen noodles. LOL

Feed him some nuts. His own.

Tell him if he doesn't cook his own ... there's a high probability of foreign contaminants in his food.

... and tease him, if he tries to bully you.

"Big baby can't get his own food."
"Does your girlfriend know you have to be spoon-fed?" (if he has a girlfriend)

He doesn't. lol! Well, he hasn't exactly been in school for about 3 years because he has a stomach problem. Most likely caused by not eating real food!

Then refuse cooking for him till he does it himself.

Let him starve. I had to cook at 14 and I'm a guy. Get him a Betty Crocker cookbook and tell him to "have at it".

He'll learn as soon as he lives on his own. Maybe he just doesn't like to cook. Some people are like that

I love English Muffin Pizza!!! Hahaha used to make that all the time when I was a kid! Bu it has to be on a Thomas'! :-)

Take him to the store and teach him how to buy stuff before teaching him how to cook.

Teach him how to cook. I had this problem back in the day, but I taught my brother how to cook everything he kept aggravating me about. Today he can cook all his own food and has even taught me how to cook a few things!!

if you are his elder sister, then this is easier.... show some authority over him and drag him into kitchen ... and gently and showing affection (as a sister does to her brother), speak and talk to him, tell him all things, and teach him to cook some basic things first and complex things later ...

if he is older then you, then you have to behave like decent, cute, little and gentle sister to him, don't try to humiliate him , otherwise he may feel sad or depressed. try to teach her with heart and you could even consult your parents over this.

and if he even doesn't listen to you or follow you and he has a girlfriend, ask her girlfriend to tell him to do so, he would definitely obey his girlfriend's sayings.
