fenriz275 0 Posted September 10, 2004 Are there any guys on the site that can cook? Or try at least? I'm not the best but I have been trying. Last night I made chocolate and peanut butter chip cookies and they were actually edible. What can any of you guys make? Microwave burritos don't count. :wacko: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Matt 0 Posted September 10, 2004 I can cook a mean waffle, mind you what we call waffles in Europe are different to what you call them in the U.S., pretty good with pancakes too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike 5 Posted September 11, 2004 I live alone so it's either cook or starve.. I usually try to keep it simple though..The less time it takes the better as far as I'm concerned..What do I cook ? I tend to eat a lot of pasta..And at times have chicken with baked potatoe..Or Kabasi or sausage with rice and vegetables..During the summertime I eat a lot of fresh vegetables..Easy cooking.. :wacko: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dread Pirate Roberts 0 Posted September 11, 2004 I started working as a cook at the age of sixteen, worked in a half a dozen places as a cook for 12 years, and then went into management. I can cook steak, fish, vegetables, poultry, sauces, and a few different types of soup. I have used a microwave in the past, but not solely. I prefer to cook on a charbroiler. So yes I can cook.

Guest Ktrek Posted September 11, 2004 My Mom taught me how to cook at age 12, that was 36 years ago. I cook just about anything and everything. I love to try new things. I love using herbs and spices and am what I call an "inspirational" cook. That means I can look in the cupboard, freezer, and frig and come up with dishes on the spot. My wife says I am one of the best cooks she has ever known and loves it when I cook which is about 50% of the houshold cooking. I love looking through recipe books for ideas but I almost always think of ways to improve dishes in the recipe books. Kevin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
He Who Shall Not Be Named 2 Posted September 11, 2004 Other than help my dad with whatever he was preparing I don't think I have cooked anything more complicated than a microwave Hot Pocket since 1994. How bad is that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nik 0 Posted September 11, 2004 I worked in five-star restaurants in high school and part of college. I started out in Jr. High as a "pearl diver" and ended up running the kitchen during the day shift. I'm quite skilled in the kitchen. I've cooked enough that I never need to measure anything, can make up recipes in my head, and can tell what spices to use in a certain dish. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WEAREBORG4102 0 Posted September 18, 2004 Sorry, I know this thread is for guys, but I couldn't resist. DUMPLINGS???WAB! :wacko: Tell me how you make "DUMPLINGS" Please???? :helpsmilie: 263817[/snapback] I'm chinese so my mom and grandma taught me. 1Ok, first you need to buy dumpling skins at your grocery store, preferably an asian supermarket. Take a mixture of chicken/pork/beef or whatever uncooked meat. Mix it with Chinese spinach or something similar in a food processor. Some like to add ginger, onion, chives, etc. Thaw the frozen dumpling skins. Do not heat them!!!! 2whip an egg so that the yolk and white mix. Do not heat this egg. 3Take the Meat mixture and roll into balls. spread them in the egg and put in the middle of the skin. Fold skin in half. Pinch them to close and use the egg to seal them. Repeat the previous step to make more dumplings Boil, steam or pan-fry. Check when the skins are the right texture. Then remove and serve. Buy dumpling sauce or use a mixture of vinegar and soy sauce. The alternative is buying them by the 30 pack at an asian supermarket. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OH Thank you thank you, thank you. Me and Fen will try to make these together, on the phone Now, does you Mom make ' Spring Rolls' too? I love them but I can't seem to roll them tight enough. After I cook them in the oil they are sort of limp. Any tricks on how to do this? AND does your Mom have a recipe for 'Sweet and Sour' Sauce. You know the kind with the little bits of stuff in it?

Airies 0 Posted September 22, 2004 I cook pretty well, I am grill and smoker king! :king: When my wife and I first got married she couldn't burn things right, so I had to teach her how to cook. But now she is the chef. She turned into a right down great cook! But if it concerns fire and outside thats all me. There is the unspoken law in our household. "She that touches Airies smoker is she that loses hand" Just kidding <_< But I should open a BBQ I cook ribs, salmon, steaks, any kinda meat. I've even smoked shrimp before, that was my finest yet. I had several people tell me it was the best they had ever eaten. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
