Are you good at cooking/baking?

[BlitzBlast]

Exactly what the thread title says.

I can cook anything that has instructions, but I can't bake for my life.

Still can't make cookies without turning them into a slab...

 

[j-master]

I'm pretty good at cooking. Nobody ended up in the hospital the last time I made something.

Baking won't be a big problem as long as I have instructions.

 

[??????]

Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn, and cauldron bubble.

Yeah, that's how I cook.

Cook, Bake, Grill, Fry, Sauté, Chop, Slice...*goes on and on*

*ahem* suffice to say, I can cook. Very well too, and I'm proud to say I can.

 

[ArmorAndonomon]

I'm a woman, I'm supposed to be in the kitchen.

...
Too bad I can't cook to save my life.

I can cook. This year I decided to learn how to bake from scratch. Today I'm working on my fourth attempt at it. The first three times I made King's Hawaiian Sweet Rolls. The first batch failed to come together. The next two batches were significantly better.

For Easter I'm making something special: Cinnamon Rolls. The beginning steps are the same as the King's Hawaiian but the rolls are formed differently. Right now I'm waiting for them to finish rising in the pan before putting them in the oven. About five more minutes.

Not really. I can't do recipes or cooking time estimates or anything cheflike in the slightest. I've pulled some pretty decent baking stunts in the past, though. I generally just dislike working with food.

 

[Rosemary]

I can cook very well and nobody ended up in an hospital I have a couple years cooking now.

but I enjoy baking a lot more specially cakes .

 

[palingensia]

I can cook, but only to an extent.

Growing up with a professional cook as a dad you kind of have to be good :x.

 

[Vernikova]

I can't cook or bake, which is why I usually go for take-out. I should probably learn one of these days.

 

[intergalactic platypus]

I'm fairly decent, particularly with baking because cupcakes are my go-to activity when I'm excruciatingly bored. I'm trying to learn how to make bread from scratch, which is challenging, though I have made pasta

 

[interstellas]

Both. Just provide me with the ingredients, materials need to be used and the instructions.

Pretty much the same situation with me, but my mom's the real good one in our family.

 

[Umbreon-dana]

I know how to cook, and can if I need to, but I haven't put much time into learning the craft. Baking, on the other hand, I know nothing about.

 

[Takaru]

Ah, Baking my lovely way to keep occupied on vacations. I learned how to make chocolate chip, brownies, pancakes, chocolate cake, vanilla cupcakes, chocolate cupcakes without instructions. Anything else I need insturtions.

 

[Relinquish]

Only the basic foods like pancakes, toast, bacon, eggs, anything served at breakfast. Anything else besides that i can't cook.

 

[An00bis]

Have a question for people who like baking.

The Cinnamon Rolls turned out fine except one one thing that bothered me. There was a light aftertaste of raw flour. I know where the taste came from. After the first rising of the dough I floured the surface lightly and put the dough down to shape into a rectangle before rolling it out. The flour came from the flour on the board no doubt but if I don't flour the board I think it'll stick?

I wanted to know if there was anything I can do about the aftertaste whether it be using less flour, using no flour, or using something else to ensure that the dough doesn't stick to the prep surface. I considered painting the outside of the rolls with melted butter also to mask it but that wouldn't have helped with the flour stick inside from where I rolled. :I

Going to attempt it again on Friday.

I am good at baking and cooking some things, like cake, cookies, Banana bread, chicken, hamburger.

Both. Just provide me with the ingredients, materials need to be used and the instructions.

This, until it gets imprinted into my brain.
