Can you cook?

Can you cook?
(Microwave, toaster and adding water to a sachet do not count)

I can grill and fry bacon. That's all I need.

Can cook, cant bake.

I can take things out of the fridge and follow the directions on the bag/box on how to cook them in an oven, does that count?

anyone can cook.. just got to have the recipe

Yes. Its somthing I enjoy doing. I cook around 90% of the meals in my house, parents work to around 7/8 oclock, so when I get home from Uni I like to cook a nice meal for everyone. Its very relaxing IMO.

I can cook sure, cooking is easy. Creating meals though, that shit's hard. I don't know what goes with what to make something that works. Thankfully anyone with 2 brain cells can follow a recipe from a book, so I am saved.

Sure can. Like @AlexW00d: said though, the hard part comes when you are trying to create the idea for a meal, not the actual cooking. Microwave/toaster food won't ever compare to a real cooked meal.

Yup, but I rarely do it. I never have the ingredients/time/motivation to cook anything more complex then throwing it in the oven or waiting for water to boil.

I can cook. I'm not a box meal(hamburger helper type stuff) guy, I actually cook.
I do not bake.

I can cook some things. I find it quite enjoyable to make food so that helps the learning process.

I can, now, but I find it really boring so I don't do it often.

I love cooking. Most of my time on weekdays is spent being dad so I'm in the kitchen cooking dinner every night.

I just hate doing dishes o_O

I try but the results are really inconsistent.

I cook all the time, I love it. Either finding recipes to try, or tweaking something I already know how to make to try something new! I bake too, but I'm a bit more hit and miss with with that. I tend to stick to a few recipes that I know when I bake, relatively simple sponges and cheesecakes and stuff, I have a habit of messing up otherwise.

I'm eating some vegetable stir-fry with grilled chicken right now that's better than just about any Chinese restaurant I've eaten at. 
 
...of course, when the main technique is "boil down all this delicious, delicious soy sauce", that isn't hard.

I can follow instructions so.. yes.

I'm learning how to cook at the moment because I'm a uni fresher... although cheap pizza's and ready meals seem to be the way forward at the moment.

I can bake well, but then again....since I have a penis, everyone makes fun of me for it. But hey, baked goods are fucking delicious, and you know they are.

I learned to cook at an early age due to my parents working unusual hours and neither being home when I arrived from school. Presently, I cook a LOT due to working out and I am very, very strict with what I eat so it's easier for me to cook my own food.

I cook and bake a lot. I can also make a damn good cheesecake despite the fact that I'm no massive fan of it (see my bio for the recipe). I don't get much opportunity to do it much with college work and all though.

Yes, I cook over 90% of what I eat in a week. Typically healthy stuff, lots of lean proteins, lots of produce and good clean carbs.

I can, but it usually doesn't end well.

Of course I do. I love to eat so I learned how to cook.

Duh.

kind of, i don't cook a lot. microwave is my friend of mine. 
 
last thing that i made was fried pickles. it came out pretty good. it was also easy to make. 
you just need some whipped eggs
break crumbs
dip the pickle into the egg
dip it into break crumbs
put it in a pan with oil 
wait until it's golden brown and they're done.

I have a repertoire of maybe 10 dishes that i can cook, but out side that i am useless.

I just made butter raisin cinnamon bread. It was amazing first i toasted it then i spread the normandy butter all over it mmmmmmmmmm

Started in college and now I like doing it.

I can make eggs. And I can follow the directions on a packet of Ramen.

Give me a recipe and I'm sure I'll get through it but I wouldn't call myself a top chef.

Yes I can cook. I can tell measurements by eyeballing it. I use fresh ingredients so I walk to the grocery store every couple days. It's quite relaxing.

My wife doesn't (shouldn't ever) cook. I cook dinner every night.

Yes although I usually don't have time these days so I just microwave stuff or eat out

I love to make pizzas from scratch.

Trying new recipes, especially with friends, is a lot of fun.

I like to try new recipes now and then, but I don't really enjoy cooking. I get bored and impatient, usually end up snacking while I'm waiting and filling myself up, or eating it when its not quite done yet. I do enjoy baking though.

I used to be a chef. I cook pretty much every day, still.

According to my ladyfriend, yes. I actually find it quite amusing.

I can... cook, yes. I also know of fifteen different poisons that grow right in this very forest.

I like baking the best. Nothing better than smelling fresh bread in the oven or having warm cookie made from scratch.

I think cooking is one of my only redeeming features. : )

i can cook i guess. nothing super great, but its alright.

I love microwave burritos.

THATS ALL I NEED TO LIVE.

I can only cook very basic stuff.

I will say..sort of and leave it at that

I can cook eggs, macaroni (Just Macaroni, no sauce :D), and burnt stuff. That exhausts my cooking abilities. I'm too impatient and stuff to cook.

I can cook well, picked up a lot from parents and then working in and around kitchens for about 5 years. Stealing from others is the key to success I've found. I find it very relaxing to cook, and there's usually a good payoff too. I don't really dig baking, requires too much patience and not enough room for improv IMO.

This. Part of the joy of cooking is being able to tweak different things.

My stir fry is clinically tested to cure all sickness.

I can make a mean cup o' noodle.

Nope! Well, I know how to use a George Foreman grill, but that's arguably easier than using a microwave.

I can cook, but my current kitchen doesn't lend well to it. So instead I stalk this website full of amazing recipes for cooking and baking, and even some recipes for special dietary needs.
