Can you Cook?

[Mango Trip 45]

....Since Mist decided to make a comment on what I would say...

 

I am the wife! :3 

 

HELLO!

[Sheheuwi9sidufud7eiwkn3 75]

Haha, no. I can't even successfully make a simple batch of cookies even with a cookbook. But I have to say that the only thing I can make that turns out well is Chile. It's pretty simple... throw all the ingredients into the slowcooker and press start.

[Dark Horse 12,961]

I like to think I'm not a terrible cook, but I'm not quite sure how many others would agree with me.

 

In most cases though I only trust myself to cook simpler stuff. Anything that requires quite a bit of preparation time and large amounts of your attention probably isn't going to be a 5 star meal when it's been cooked by me.

 

...in fact it would be lucky if it's edible...

[BrilliantVenture 334]

love to cook! If it weren't for music, that'd probably be what I'd spend my time doing

 

Love cooking asian, and italian most!

[SquipyCheetah 449]

I cannot cook, at all. The last time I even tried was a few years ago when I tried to microwave something... I needed a new microwave after that

[Kyoshi Frost Wolf 41,477]

Does microwaveable food count? Eh...probably doesn't. That is the most I can cook, stuff that can be microwaved and that it the majority of what I eat in terms of meals. Things like canned soup, beef stew, stuff like that I can cook maybe in a pot as well but that's the extent of it. My cooking is bleh.

[Invincible 2,091]

I could slap some rice, noodles, or an omelette together, but that's about it. Pretty much basic.

[Raito 28]

The most I can do regarding culinary is probably washing an apple 

[That One Techpriest You Used To Know 2,286]

I cook very well... I have several 'house favorites' from my spaghetti sauce to my meat rolls.

 

I do, however, feel the pain for those who freely admit that they can indeed burn water. But do not cry; that is a feat worthy of praise. Even I cannot burn water.

[Lulubelle 64]

I'm great at cooking. Give me a recipe and I can make it.

[KendraTheKutie 28]

I imagine I can do some very simple things. I know I can make ramen, but then again most people can lol. But yeah for the most I'd be starving if I had to cook. 

[PoisonClaw 8,164]

I love that Pasta seems to be the go-to thing for people who can't cook to make. Myself, I can count the number of things I can cook on one hand, which includes pasta, frying an egg and making Mac'N'Cheese.  

[Finia 260]

I can't cook, but wanna learn. I can basically warm up frozen food in the oven. But not like meals or anything. Well... i can but i can't make gravy or stuff to go with potatoes and meat. Which i am gonna try more. Well maybe its because i havent tried, but maybe i would struggle more with other stuff like chocolate cake since i dont make so much of it.

Cooking is fine with me but I would most probably eat out more as I find it a little hard to decide what to prepare and researching carefully on how to make it. I can handle frozen food and also pre-made sauces but when making something completely from raw ingredients and I think I would be struggling.

[TopQuark 409]

From intuition, I can make simple meals (egg-based things, fried meat/fish, salads, etc.), but I can make anything that comes with clear and precise instructions. I often work with hazardous chemicals, so I get a little antsy if I'm not following instructions, like the cake I'm baking is going to burst and give me third-degree chemical burns.

[Envy 6,162]

No, I seriously can not cook at all. Nor can I bake. I rely on snacks, restaurants, and microwavable food for meals!

[Mars Orbit 729]

I love cooking!

I don't like when I mess it up tho.

That's actually pretty gross.

Sometimes it's not even a matter of "can I cook", it's a matter of "we have nothing to cook with".

[gone~ 614]

I can cook pretty well, but I'm usually too lazy to cook ^^;

My mom is super good at cooking (she even ran a restaurant back in Beijing ^^ ), and she taught me how to cook fried rice, 牛肉餡餅, pizza, and lots of other things ^^

[ThatOneComrade 1,091]

Once upon a time I was a terrible cook and a disappointment to my family.

But now I'm a decent cook and no longer much of a disappointment to my family.

Practice makes perfect.

[GuyNamedEarl 1,332]

I'm a pretty manly country boy but not many know that I am a great chef and cook dinner for myself almost every night.

[catnet 9,356]

I used to cook pretty often a few years back- whether what I cooked was any good or not, I'm not entirely sure - but I haven't done so for a long time now... I could probably live off what I make if I had a go at it again, but it wouldn't be anything special. x3

[The Cynical Lone Wolf 615]

I can't cook  AT ALL

Microwavables and Frozen Pizza, ahoy!

[SparklingSquirrels 21,341]

I can cook, but I don't like to cook :/. I think cooking is awfully boring and exhausting so I prefer to just eat snacks for dinner or get take-out from somewhere

[Haruhi-chan 486]

"I burn water"

 

lol yeah. So, I can't cook worth shit. A lot of it is because of a slightly bad experience as a child. My mom told me not to touch the stove when it was hot, and I didn't listen to her. I got burned a little. It wasn't bad, but it was enough to scar me into knowing the stove isn't a play thing, and that I will get burned. The idea of that scares me I guess.
