do you prefer to bake or cook?

I totally understand what you mean about how it is so enjoyable just decorating cakes--my isster & I are actually more focused on decorating cupcakes and enjoy it evry much... As for preferring cooking to baking---I think I prefer the latter though I do have lots of fun cooking as ell, they are both very challenging but I am able o express more of my artistic side in baking, especially in decorating cakes =)

I salute you to that because you know how to bake. And you have patience to bake. About me, I really dont know how to bake, but i do some dessert like salads and float. But in baking i did try it yet. Maybe im afraid if i do baking i might failed. I mean the cake or the menu i suppose to do it will turn into nothing, hehehe... In cooking, i do only a simple dishes only for our meal. But cooking like the steak, or etc, i dont know how to.

I MUCH prefer to bake. There's nothing like Christmas time when you get to bake cookies, cakes, fudge, & all kinds of goodies. Cooking makes me lazy. It requires a lot more time, the clean up can be really cumbersome & I just like sweets more than anything. I know. I'm bad! LOL

I love to cook. I'd much rather 'cook' than 'bake'. I would much rather save my baking to a special event. I bake a lot a Christmas time. I am always messing in my kitchen. I always have something cooking. Is hard rock candy making considered cooking? It is on top of the stove, rather than the oven. I make that about once a month or so. I am making a homemade pizza tonight with homemade crust and hand shredded mozzerella cheese.

I don't really know which one I prefer. Depends on what kind of mood I'm in, I guess. I love to cook, when it's appreciated; my husband has told me 'good supper, hon', almost every time I have cooked for him over the last 21 years. That makes it worth it, and makes me want to cook a good meal for him. Like the other night, I make homemade chicken and noodles (I made the noodles, too), with mashed potatoes (no instant in my house!), and I just glowed, as he and my son told me countless times how good it was. On the other hand, we used to alternate having Thanksgiving at my house for his family, and on my years, I would cook most everything (which I don't mind doing), and his family would come at about 11:00 or so, HOVER (his sister) around the kitchen until the food was done, and then they'd all be gone by 2:00 at the latest. I quit doing that, because I didn't feel like it was appreciated. My family-it's a whole other deal. Big meals like that are meant for lunch and supper...you come, you talk, you eat, you talk, you eat some more, talk some more...etc... I do some baking at Christmas time, too, though. My sister and I had an annual 'cookie' day back home, where we would get together for one, maybe two days on a weekend in December. We would make all our favorite cookies and candy, and make up gift baskets to give to friends, family, and co-workers. I'm really gonna miss doing that with her this year. But my daughter is insisting that she and I carry on the tradition, so her and I will probably do it with my best friend and her girls. Other than that, I usually only cook something sweet if I'm craving it. I don't really have a favorite thing to cook.

i prefer to cook.i like to cook simple recipe such as fried noodle and fried rice. Well, bake and cook...actually i prefer to eat.

My choice is different in this case. Hope you will not rate it as negative here.lol. I like to cook very much. Actual case is that i don't know to bake that much. so i am little reluctant to do that. i like to try out new receipes of coking.

I really love to do both baking and cooking. It is doing the dishes that I really dont like very much. I love to bake cakes,cookies and pies. I'm making homemade soup right now. i love serving mt family good homemade food.

hi there beutfulmama6701 i like more cooking because i am more better at it but baking i am not that good at it but all i need is more practise i suppose well there is one dish I like making for the kids is honey soy chicken on a stick mashed poato and cucumber salad it is so yummy thanks for this discussion

i like to cook more than baking but when im in the mood i bake some cakes specially banana cake when my banana turns black and also chocolate cake but i prefer cooking some dishes everyday and try new recipe:-)

Wow! I like to bake too but only on the rare occasion can I be found in the kitchen. But when it comes to a choice between baking and cooking I'll pick cooking every time. There is something about prepare something that takes 10 or 15 minutes and having a tasty treat at the end that just satisfies me. Of course something like my specialty peanut brittle take quite a bit longer but every time you still know you are going to get something worth while at the end. With cooking, for me, it is always hit or miss and I can almost never eat my own cooking because I know what's in it.

I would much rather spend all day baking then cook even one meal. I am not a very good cook but I can bake things like pie cake and brownies and they taste great. I just cook becasue I have to since I have a family but I don't enjoy it.

to bake its easy and not time consuming :)

At first I was definitely going to baking...but now as I think about it, I love both! Haha. I love to bake different kinds of cookies and cakes and try new recipes...but I love to cook pasta (Any kind - I love it all!!=))

I prefer cooked. My favorite cooked dish is cooked cauliflower.

I'm more of a baker, I love baking mainly cakes and things like that.. Though I hardly ever eat them... I don't mind cooking either but not alot of food at one time..

I definitely prefer to bake. It's so much easier than cooking and the flour messes aren't nearly as bad as splattered grease and everything else that goes along with cooking. I like to decorate cakes although I don't have the right equipment so I'm no very good at it. My favorite thing to bake is pie. I like to cut shapes into the top crust and rolling the dough seems very peaceful to me.

I like to cook khana not to bake.It is very interesting and I like give khana to all the people.

Oh I have to say COOK!!! I will cook all day, I love it!! I also love experiementing with food in the kitchen. My favourite dish would have to chicken a la creme. Its my husbands favourite too. Every couple of weeks, I will go into a frenzy and bake till I drop... Cookies, cakes, breads, jams, what ever recipes I can find!!! :-)

Well, I think I prefer cooking to baking 'coz I'm on a tight budget he he he...but if I were to have a bigger budget, I'd bake more often. I do like baking, too, trying out new recipes. ;-D I've just begun to learn to cook and bake, so I love trying to bake/cook anything. ;-D My fave dish depends on my mood, but I LOVE Chinese and Indonesian food. ;-D
