Yeah, I guess there weren't enough options on the poll...
Although if you CAN cook, consider yourself a domestic genius.

One write in for Other; I am a great cook, and I loathe preparing food
Hmm pretty much what I saidOriginally Posted by ScamperFarms

Steve is a good willing tester..and he is honest
I suck at cooking, but love to bake!
I love to cook - my prob is finding time!! I am no Martha tho - but I too have a Martha like mom, lol
Hmmm...that sounds like our house! Rob's face lights up when I tell him he's about to be a guinea pig. Fortunately, he's not a picky eater, so I can play to my heart's content, and all I need to do is produce something edible -- which is usually not that much of a challenge. His stock line used to be "You can do THAT again!"Originally Posted by ScamperFarms

I put together a little book of our favourites for my niece (at her request) a few years ago, and that's what I called it.
But that's the savouries. I can bake, too, and do desserts, but it's not as much fun for me, because I'd rather fly by the seat of my pants than follow a recipe. He does get his waffles and scones on the weekend, though -- those I can play with a bit.

Actually, when I bake I usually just do my own thing. The recipe always varies from the original, not to mention my oven has a mind of its own, so we've developed a "relationship" of sorts when it comes to baking.
I can't cook, but I love to bake right from scratch. My Grandmother taught me how to Bake.
It's a big Caesar Salad with Garlic Prawns tonight. There's lots -- wanna come?Originally Posted by vespacat

Now, there, you see? Your strong suit is the baking! We can't all do everything well! And if you can do your own thing in the baking, my hat's off to you! There I chicken out for the most part and just use the recipe.Actually, when I bake I usually just do my own thing.

I love to cook...but thank the Lord for dishwashers!!!
I used to like to cook, and I always thought I was pretty good at it. But now, Earl has determined that he's a better cook, so he just does the cooking so I don't have to deal with it. Except for the big dinners, especially turkey. That he won't touch - even though it's so easy I think the cats could probably do it!

I can cook very well when I feel well enough .... Baking call the fire dept...lmao
I do really well most of the time and will ventrue to make things I have never made before. I am willing to experiment with some meals and most turn out great. Some on the other hand end up all tasting the same. You use the same spices and it all tastes like it! I do mess up the occasional meal though, and when I do I really mess it up!!!
i USE TO LOVE TO COOK AND i WAS VERY GOOD AT IIT. hAVING HAD MY STOMACH STAPLED KILLED MY APPITITE AND WITH IT ANY REAL DESIRE TO COOK.
I HAVE cooked and I HAVE baked and it turned out OK but since there is only me now I only eat out of packages.Originally Posted by vespacat
To put it bluntly, I really suck at cooking anything.Unless it's microwavable or easy to prepare, forget about it!
Anyone else here burn pre-cooked packaged goods in the oven consistently?
Funny thing is, I'm actually a GREAT baker! I can bake all kinds of desserts from scratch.
yeah, I know.
My friend Scott had a roommate that actually put micro-popcorn in the OVEN.
I new a guy that put the popcorn in the nuke and set it for 30 mins, on purpose he thought that was what it was supposed to be. Only time I ever saw something in a nukelator actually catch on fire. And no that guy was not me.
I voted that I like to cook but my skills are sometimes questionable. Half the time after I've cooked something, I think what on earth was I thinking?!
