Cooking!

[Dewdlz 939]

I like to cook hot pockets and toaster stroodles. Making bacon, eggs, and grilled cheese are the only things I can make from scratch. Sometimes soup from a can cooked on the stove, but mostly I'm lazy to wait for it to warm up, so I zap it with the microwave. Bon Appétit.

I don't cook often because i'm not too good at it.

I guess i'm so afraid of undercooking the food that I avoid cooking all together.

Same. I can cook, but only basic stuff like mini pizzas and cookies.

I can cook, but only some kinds of food, I can cook:

 

• Grilled cheese
• Canned Beans
• Soup
• Fries
• Sandwich
• And some others

I cook all the time. My burgers and fries are slammin'!

When buying things for your kitchen, beware of what Alton scorns as 'uni-taskers.'  That is, devices that do only one thing.  Olive pitters and strawberry-corers are good examples.  They take up room in your drawers, almost never get used, and save you very little time compared to just doing the task without a highly specialized tool.  A few uni-taskers are necessities of course, like can-openers, so be sensible.  

You just made me think of this classic moment in TV history.

I was a bit into cooking when I was younger, but now the only thing I cook (of course except meat, rice, sandwiches etc.) is scrambled eggs, my family loves them.

I do basically all the cooking in our house. Some of the meals that seem to be most popular with the kids are:

• Roast dinner
• Chilli con carne
• Spaghetti (or other pasta) Bolognese
• Spaghetti (or other pasta) all'Arrabbiata
• Spaghetti carbonara
• Macaroni Cheese
• Sausage & bean casserole
• Fish & chips
• Pizza
• Nachos
• Chicken or beef fajitas
• Chicken & sweetcorn enchiladas
• Hamburgers & chips
• Turkey burgers & chips
• Lamb or chicken curry

From time to time I also bake bread.

Oh an old cooking thread, I've been wondering if people around here cook and/or would be interested in a cooking/baking club to share recipes and/or tips? 

I was barely taught any cooking growing up and, well, let's just say my parents are culinarily challenged... so I had to learn almost everything by myself and I am quite happy with the stuff I can make now :] 

I've noticed it's actually really common for people to not be taught how to cook, I always feel like a strange anomaly when people bring it up cos they sound surprised I know how... It's a shame considering how nasty premade supermarket stuff can be.

I love cooking.  I went to a vocational/technical high school and culinary arts was one of the trades offered, and that's where I spent my high school years.  I also read a lot of cookbooks and watched a lot of cooking shows.  I used to do a lot more cooking than I do now since my situation has changed, but once in a while I break out the recipe book and make something special for myself.

I don't do it a whole lot but I can make a few basic dishes. Really, I'm a lot better at baking.

Sure I can set your kitchen on fire. What are we making?
