2
Green Vegetables
They should be crunchy, not mushy. Most vegetables don't need more than five minutes of steaming to reach perfection.

3
Pasta
Easy to over-cook. Pasta should be al-dente - which means slightly firm, not soft and limp.

4
Bacon
Should be crispy without being burned and ideally cooked over lower heat for longer than most people cook it over.

5
Eggs
Eggs are still cooking when you remove them from heat, Scrambled eggs should be silky, and not gooey and raw. And then there's boiled eggs - the center shouldn't be grey. And then poached eggs? Over-easy? Easy to make mistakes here.
