    No, I can't cook. I tryed to fry an egg, ended up under-cooking it and throwing it into the bin and I left the gas on and stunk the house out and gave myself a headache. So I can't cook.

    I'm hopeless at cooking, but I've been making an effort to learn lately!

    I can make some pretty decent French toast and pancakes though.

    Yup I can totally cook! Nothing too fancy, but I can try. I've never blown up a kitchen or caught anything on fire at least!

    I prefer to bake! And I'd love to cook more often, as long as I wasn't paranoid about screwing it up and ruining an entire meal. xD I'm a pretty good cook though, I just need a little bit more confidence.

    My policy is that he touches and handles all the raw meat. I can't do that . Raw meat is so grossssssss. ;_;

    I'm okay. I can cook. Just not anything special, and not anything amazing. In other words, I can do basic meals like steamed veges, things you shove in an oven and turn once in a while, stuff like that. Having said that, I've cooked a full lasagne/salad type meal when I was living with a family before, amongst other things, so I know I can go the full distance if needed. It's just not a sensible option given my circumstances.

    I think I'm gonna try cooking stir fry tomorrow. Any suggestions to make it SPICY and FLAVORFUL?

    This recipe looks magical:

    Chow Mein Noodles - Chow Mein Recipe

    But oyster sauce sounds icky. And I dunno if I'm that good at cooking to make that!

    I can cook and bake okay. I mostly just fry and grill stuff like the standard breakfast meals, bologna, hotdogs, and hamburgers. I fried fish before and baked chicken too. They turned out okay as so did the chocolate chip muffins I made one time too. The one thing I'm probably the best at is making home cooked Sicilian-style pizza. My mother told me how to cook some things. I know you women like a man that cooks right?

    I take a curious approach to cooking. I'll add different things to other recipes and see how they will turn out. If I like it, I'll keep making it, if I don't, it's just trial and error.

    I'm always looking for something different.

    You don't have to be a good cook to do a stir fry, it's really easy. And that recipe tells you pretty much exactly what to do. If you want it spicy, maybe throw in deseeded thai pepper, or a jalapeno. Or just red pepper flakes, maybe!

    Also, don't worry about the oyster sauce. It smells disgusting but it's not going to make it taste like that or anything. Even if you don't like oysters it's nothing to worry about.
