Thread: Do Guys Cook?

My parents are usually busy with their jobs so every now and then I end up cooking for my younger siblings, as I am the eldest. I took two years of home economics, so I know my way around the kitchen. Besides, my pastas and breakfests are way better then my parents.

I'm a fair cook but I have a tendency to cook more with a recipe rather than getting too creative. If it's a dish I've made a million times, then I might try something new but I just haven't had enough time to experiment as much as I'd like.

I love to barbecue, though! I used to bbq by charing it, but then I learned that sometimes lower heat and more time can be better Who'd'a thunk? I love to grill chicken and also kabobs (a family favorite), but I'd like to experiement more with beef and vegetables. I skewered some beef that I had sliced thin and maranated and then grilled it... de-vine!

(And I'm going home in two days... and it's the holidays! Yeah food&#33

Men don't cook. If there isn't a woman around, they'll die from hunger. We all know that

I don't eat seafood either for the same reason you stated. And my stomach, I just recently found out, is lacking in digestive enzimes.

For a few months I could only eat soft stuff so my diet consisted of noodles, soups, bread. Things that weren't too hard on my stomach. Anything else I ate would cause me severe pain from about 10 min after I ate for up to a couple of hours. Eating just became too painful so now I still stick mainly to soft stuff but my diet is supplimented with vitamins and other needed minerals. I think I have the stomach of a 90 year old.

Despite that, I still love to cook. I can take a taste or two of my cooking but I can't eat it. Or rather, I can if I'm willing to put up with the pain afterward... which I sometimes do.

My bg cooks pretty well but would prefer me to do it more often than I do

I don't cook. And I probably won't (ha-ha).

im an average cook, but i dont like to do it

But... how can anyone not like cooking? It's making yummy stuff and things...

Though, I think that liking food, and being able to cook, are directly related...

I'm a skinny kid with a speedy metabolism and a great affinity for good food. I couldn't survive without cooking. I'm only decent though.

i love to eat good food, but i dont like to prepare it. If im cooking something complex, i get kinda overwhelmed with timing everything just right. Also, usually the only times i think to cook is when im hungry, but then im like "fuck this i dont wanna wait for this shit to cook" and i order something fast, or raid my friends fridge (shes a chef and loves to cook, shes always making me gourmet shit). Plus, i make a big mess when i cook and dont really enjoy cleaning the kitchen haha. Your dish on the first page looks good though, i might try it bro

I sure dont cook, Im the idiot who put Cheesy Garlic Bread in a pop up toaster...the cheese melted all in the toaster...

I work in a resturant, knowing how to cook food is part of the job. If it wasnt for my mother being a better cook then i am id be cooking for my family. When mamas not home i do the cookin.

Blue Dood - email me a copy of that "Parmigianina di Melanzane" recipe.

Thanks.

I've known how to cook since I was 14 because my mom always worked.

the majority of chefs are male...

i cook almost every meal. it's cheaper.

I love good food, but sometimes, I'm way too lazy to cook.

Heh, almost nobody is ambitious enough to cook all the time. That's one reason I decided to attend culinary school -- good job security; everyone's gotta eat!

Right now if I were to live on my own, I'd live off bowls of cereal

But one day I'd like to learn.

Though I don't see where you all find time for it. I guess it depends on what kind of job I get when I'm done with college and how much free time I've got.

I'm 18 and have never cooked a real meal.. I don't really want to either. I don't have the skills. To me, from an artistic point of view (which is what I do).. it would be like me spending time on a painting, and then setting it on fire when I'm finished. I do like my food though, but I just don't want to cook. If I had a good girl who wanted me to I would try though.
