I have just learnt to use the oven, and am at the pizza stage. I'm going to try get to the chicken stage in the next few weeks..

And you?

Biggins · 14-10-2010 01:36AM

Ona a level of 1 to 10, I'd say about a 7/8 of skill.

Sharkey 10 · 14-10-2010 01:37AM

Personally i was never thought , just kind of always cook by feel . to answer your question i suppose I am at the " i can cook dinner for the family" stage if that makes sense nothing extra ordinary or anything but suppose i would find it hard cooking a Christmas dinner because of having to get so many things ready at one time
Btw what age are you op?

Doneg Al · 14-10-2010 01:37AM

Degag · 14-10-2010 01:38AM

20 Years old .. Well, I lay the blame on modern day socialism. Everything is face paced we need now , this moment sort of thing. So I never took a liking to cooking.

I always though, Pre Heating the oven was some sort of big event which could take a day or two. In the end I was told it only takes 5-7 mins.

So shocked I was I decided to give cooking a pizza ago there last week. Turned out nice and no short/long term side effects and mainly no food poisoning. So I have been cooking the pizzas no problem.

This got me thinking tonight, Am I alone ? Are we going to run into a problem with people my age, relying on fast food, restaurants for dinner in a few years. Will I be able to cook the family roast?

Then I started this thread to see how advanced the members of boards in particular After Hours are at cooking.

Is chicken the next level? Am I cheating? Should I cook some cat before the chicken? Or maybe some oven chips?

fonecrusher1 · 14-10-2010 01:49AM

FunkZ · 14-10-2010 01:50AM

I can cook an amazing carbonara, that's all I need

df1985 · 14-10-2010 01:53AM

i know dominos lucan's number by heart, mcdonalds in maynooth is 24hr.....i'll never go hungry.

if being serious though im fairly good, can do the basics and even go mental with a bit of sauce now and again. you learn fairly fast when you have no one else to do it.

I blame it on on modern socialism also we have strayed so far from marx and engels it unreal.
Seriously though its nothing to be worried about it will just come to you and its far cheaper and usually healthier than eating take aways all the time.
Did you really think it took days to heat the oven or are you just taking the piss?

alwaysadub · 14-10-2010 02:07AM

I'm a qualified 1st year commis chef. Very rarely actually cook these days though,can't be arsed.

primavera85 · 14-10-2010 02:17AM

on a 0-10 scale i would say im an 8. im a good cook, rarely need a cook book except special occasions. start from scratch with most meals (meat, vegetables herbs and spices etc. none of that processed crap) except when ive had a paticularly long day. oh.. and im 25. i buy takeout once in a while but its not a regular occurance.

KungPao · 14-10-2010 02:19AM

I like my chicken wings.

scientific1982 · 14-10-2010 02:22AM

Yes, exactly when I need food I need it NOW not in 40 minutes or an hour!!!! I don't want to deal with boring, repetative chopping, simmering, mixing, fussing and all that shyte. It's BORING !!!!

We have to eat 3 times a day, so I can't be doing with that much time investment for such little return for the rest of me natural !!!

You're not alone! I'm well able to cook. I just wont because it's boring. I like eating though. So it's ready meals, other peoples cooking, Centra, Spar or fast food for me!!! I have NEVER cooked myself a meal such as a roast or anything requiring two hands to make because I am much too lazy and I'm double your age!!!

People who like cooking are the enemy. They not only want to cook but they often also want to TALK about cooking too. The bleedin freaks!!!

Putting a frozen pizza in a pre heated oven for 15 minutes isn't cooking. It's operating the oven, at best.

I was just about to ask if people who say are cooking a pizza are just putting a frozen one in the oven!!

I can kind of cook. Probably about a 5/10. Kind of depends what I'm cooking though.

Accomplished enough, I would say.
I've been cooking for almost as long as I can remember, always helping mom or gran in the kitchen.

Er... what? Did you actually make the pizza, or did you just remove packaging and shove it in the oven?

I can't beat the Big Boss at the end.

What level of cooking are you at ?
