comms open! On a scale of "master chef" to "burns down the kitchen while trying to make toast":
How good (or bad) are your cooking skills?
My cooking skills are kinda average, I think? Maybe even slightly above average but idk... At least I'm better at cooking than my mom and grandma, but that's because I actually enjoy cooking unlike them, so I put more effort into it.Jan 21, 2022

Olive oil makes me panick because every time I at a little bit into the pan to band something it just starts frying.

I can make very simple food but everything above that I’m out 
I do want to try and improve on that skill though

Slightly above average but whatever I make tastes really good, it just looks awful
•
•Around average - I'm good at what I do but I rarely cook due to not having a kitchen at the moment
•
I think I'm somewhere below average because the only thing I can cook perfectly is instant food and anything I can fry or bre without spices that are too complicated
•
Definitely above average, i learned cooking from my dad + took 1 and a half years of classes
•
Above average from what I know about ppl my age XD I grew up with really bad food until I met my nana and now I'm pretty good! Definitely not like her tho!
•
Well alright cooking skills I think?
I mean with a recipe I should be able to manage most stuff.
If I’m cooking stuff I know by memory it’s ok.
Current problem areas are to actually fry stuff in a pan instead of gently heating them since I’m scared of burning stuff or myself. So it usually takes a lil to fry ^-^"
And sauces from scratch without any instructions somehow mostly end up as the same weird tasting something … o-o

•Very good I think. Everyone ik seems to want to eat the things I make and they are always so envious of the food I am able to cook. I'm also the token chef in most of the friend grps I've been in.
Self taught bc I wasn't allowed in the kitchen as a child and since I strictly manage my own diet, I cannot eat premade things frm the store.

Hmm I can probably cook- I just don’t know how or what to cook w/o a person to do most of it

I actually really like cooking. I’ve been cooking since I was 7 cause my parents kept pushing “how will you have a husband and kids if you can’t cook???” Though I actually enjoy cooking food for just me now (sometimes I let my husband have some lol)
The hardest dishes
I’ve made homemade are calamari, gyoza, gumbo, pork belly, and fried chicken steak

I've cooked home food for 5-10 people as a part of my job for 7,5 years of my life.
I've had to learn how to make vegetarian food because I'm a vegetarian. Some of the people I cooked for had some dietary restrictions.
I'm comfortable following recipes and shopping for food. When I cook for myself I freestyle a bit.
It's not restaurant quality food or very exotic at all. Basic every day dishes. I have some favorites. When people go for seconds I take that as a thank you. I feel my skill is a little more than average, I think, just because of the quantity and variety.

Burns down the kitchen (and possibly the entire neighbourhood in the process) while making toast... Genuinely burned my hand trying to make scrambled eggs
