do you consider yourself a good cook?

I can cook some things and make it taste amazing BUT I have accidentally caught a lasagna on fire in the oven so I’d say no. 🤣🤣
 
Just basic, that's if I'm allowed in the kitchen lol

I don't... I think I'm average.
But the folks that eat the food I cook (usually outdoors on a grill but also on stove-top/oven) seem to disagree with me. They keep asking me to let them know the next time I fire the pit up so they can send some meat down to get smoked. 🍽️

When the kids were little ... being kids and saying what they wanted... they told my wife that they wanted me to cook instead of her. So, for over 35 years I've been doing the primary household cooking.

I can top this.

I was making fries one time and went to wipe the stove with a paper towel for some reason. The paper towel caught on fire, and I panicked and threw it into the boiling oil. I'm not sure how my house didn't burn down.

I also set a grilled cheese on fire once when I was transferring it from the pan to a plate.

How did the grilled cheese catch on fire? 🤣🤣
 
No, I don't even do stove-top. I live on microwavable TV dinners and cereal when I eat at home.
 
I’d say I can get by and cook some decent meals. I definitely prefer cooking on a grill or smoker.
 
I wouldn't say that I am a great cook but I can cook and everyone always has something nice to say about the dishes I cook, and I have never had any complaints 🙂

I prefer cooking on the grill too. It’s easier and gives me a break from everything. 🤣

That's all that is important. Once everyone says good things about what I've made, it gladden my heart. The compliments are what always make me feel happy when cooking for my family.
 
I'd say I'm an efficient cook. I can usually prep, cook (proper food) and have most of the washing up done within 45 mins.

My partner on the other hand struggles for at least 90 minutes, leaving the kitchen looking like a it's been hit with a tornado and the end result is usually barely edible so guess who does all the cooking.

I suppose there are times when being a total failure at something pays dividends!

I couldn't agree more. I do know that my family can be a little choosy when it comes to some dishes, so if I make something and they eat it without issue, it is always a win-win for me.
 
I wouldn't call myself good cook at all because cooking is just not really my thing and I rarely do it. However I can make macaroni, pasta and fried rice pretty decently.
 
I know that I am a very good cook. I am not the one that rated myself. More than 100 different people have eaten meals I have prepared and most always tell me that my cooking is top class.
