It seems hard to believe, but it’s been a decade since the world first met Walter White. The chemistry teacher-turned-meth-cooking antihero of Breaking Bad has become an iconic character in the television world. But how did Walter White learn to cook meth? That’s a question that many fans are still asking to this day.
For those who haven’t seen the show, the story of Walter White begins with him as a mild-mannered chemistry teacher in Albuquerque, New Mexico. When he is diagnosed with terminal lung cancer, Walter decides to use his knowledge of chemistry to start cooking meth in order to make money for his family.
The show does not go into a lot of detail on how exactly Walter learned to cook meth. In one episode, Jesse Pinkman, Walter’s former student and meth-cooking partner-in-crime, reveals that he taught Walter how to cook. However, the show does not elaborate on how Jesse himself learned to cook.
It is likely that Walter was able to learn the basics of cooking meth from his own knowledge of chemistry. After all, he was a chemistry teacher and would have had the necessary knowledge to understand the process of creating meth. He also would have had access to the necessary chemicals and lab equipment.
In addition to his own knowledge, Walter also had access to Jesse’s resources. Jesse had been cooking meth for some time when Walter and he first met, and it is likely that Jesse was able to teach Walter some of the finer points of the process.
It is also possible that Walter had access to other resources, such as the internet or books on cooking meth. While these resources may not have been as reliable as Jesse, they would have been able to provide Walter with the basic knowledge to start out on his own.
Finally, Walter may have also had access to other meth cooks in the area. While the show does not explore this possibility, it is likely that Walter had access to other cooks who could teach him some of the tricks of the trade.
At the end of the day, it’s impossible to know for sure how Walter White learned to cook meth. The show does not go into a lot of detail on this topic, so fans will have to make their own conclusions. Regardless of how he learned to cook, one thing is certain: Walter White has become an iconic character in the television world, and his story will continue to live on for years to come. As the old song goes:
“You can cook the books and you can cook the meth,
But you can never cook like Walter White!”
