Jikoniau Miss Perfection Buhahahahaha! You make it sound so simple! Not everyone can cook...I am living proof!!! Example 1: While making Beef...something everyone in my cooking class make theirs with no issues, but me, Oh I somehow managed to turn it PINK not a red pink...I'm talking about a BRIGHT PINK!!! Not even my dog would eat it rofl Example 2: Chocolate chip cookies, something you can make when your like five right?...WRONG I still fail at making chocolate chip cookies..they either are wayyy to squidgy, flowery or burnt. I was taught through school and by my mum...and I still am a disaster in the kitchen...I can make noodles and pasta...that's my limit. Basically what I'm saying is that cooking is a gift some people have it and some dont...not much can change that. ^^;; Cooking can actually be very simple if given the right recipe. Plus there're some easy thing to make that don't take any skills. If you can cook pasta then you could probably make things such as potatoes that all you really have to do is boil water and put the potatoes in. Besides there're many things you can make with pasta, especially since there're so many different kinds of pasta. As for chocolate chip cookies... I usually bake them using the freezer dough but once I decided to bake it from scratch and they turned out way to mushy and I'm normally good at baking; so maybe you just need to try different recipes. Sometimes a recipe that is way simple for one person is really complex for another, one of the many mysteries of cooking. My older sister claims that she can't cook but since she practices she's found that there are simple things she can cook. HAHAHA thanks for the vote of confidence heart

I think everyone should know at least the basics.
I`ve known how to cook for a long time.
I kid you not, I was the only strait guy in my Home Economics class back in High School.
All the other guys took shop, apparently.
My culinary ability is fair, I can easily prepare meals from scratch, and have a firm understanding of the various measuring systems commonly used.
I`m no professional cook, by any means, but I can whip up a meal when the occasion asks of me.
I also believe everyone should know how to do laundry and ironing xD

I know how to cook, but I is lazy...

My boyfriend is the one who makes the nice big, family-esque dinners. W/ steak, rice and a veggie for the two of us.
Ramen is my friend though, lol.

I can hardly cook.
Perhaps I should learn sometime,
but I lack patience.

I think learning how to cook is important because it gives you an idea of what goes into the foods you eat. Once you see how much salt goes into making a dish restaurant-level-salty, and compare it with your own cooking....it's...kind of interesting, and a bit frightening. Also, cooking's like a basic survival skill. Kind of redundant with instant meals now, but just you wait until the zombie apocalypse comes.
As for ramen, I think it's cheaper buying dried noodles, making your own soup stock out of whatever (fish, shrimp, chicken, etc.) and adding in things than eating ramen all the time. Soup stock's nice 'cause you can use things like bones and wing-tips and such.
I cook all the time, as I live alone. Grew up in a traditional east asian household, so I was introduced to knife-fu very early on in childhood. These skills have served me well - even if it's only so I can feed my non-cooking college friends and keep them from starving. :/ Sadly, my boyfriend doesn't know how to cook; he thinks he'll marry me and get me to cook for him.
Little does he know that I shall be teaching him knife-fu. twisted Lesson one is washing the rice.

Knife-fu? xd
The main reason I don't like cooking is when it involves knives. I cut myself really bad once so now they freak me out.

I agree that everyone should learn how to cook. I cannot cook to save my soul! Also, my dad did not know how to cook until my mom left to visit her mom for 2 weeks! At first my dad's food tasted terrible (seriously his soup = gross), but he quickly got the hang of it and his food tasted amazing! heart

My mom likes cooking very much. I have no doubts I won't know how to in the future. Just have to ask my boy if he knows now. ninja

They didn't teach us how to cook in school here (I went to school in Los Angeles, CA). I ended up learning how to in a culinary academy though. My skills are being wated away where I live though; I can't wait until I move out.
Yes, everyone should learn how to cook though. How pathetic is it that so many people don't learn a basic survival skill because of the option of convenience?
