Cooking is an invaluable skill to those with the know-how to whip up something in the kitchen. Traditionally, the woman in a family cooks. But now, its now fashionable to know how to cook, whether you're a man or a woman. Can you cook, or are do you want to learn how to cook? Do you think everyone should learn how to cook?

I believe that everyone should atleast learn the basics of cooking. At least enough to get by on your own. And yes I can cook.

I definitely think that everyone should learn how to cook. I've experienced and seen first hand that many college aged students just are clueless in the kitchen. They lack the basic logic and skills to actually cook anything so they end up setting off the fire alarm and the like. Not only is cooking an important skill to learn, it's also important to learn it because it's a safety issue when someone does not know how to cook and they end up doing something really stupid that comprimises the health and safety of everyone in a building.

Yeah, more often than not, food poisoning occurs in the home, rather than in restaurants. Chances are, if you've cooked for people at some point, you've given them some sort of minor ailment, which they'll just pass it off as something harmless. Food poisoning cases are more prevalent in the media when it occurs at a restaurant instead, so you hear more of that. But the truth is, food is handled more cleanly at restaurants than they are at home, so there are less chances of getting food poisoning when eating out.

It's not just fashionable; it's reasonable. Everyone's busy with work and kids and duties in the community, so it's not wise for cooking to be considered one person's task. I love to cook, but I don't always have time.
Logic rules!

Everybody should learn how to cook. In case of emergency that nobody is around to cook for you. You can still eat and cook for yourself.
The basic of cooking is boiling a water, then you can boil an egg. You can then learn how to cook instant noodles. Then you will no longer be hungry.
The next thing is frying. All kinds of frying will follow. Fried egg, fried rice, fried meat, the famous fried chicken, anything fry is easy too.
With these, one can survive. Just the basic cooking can be a big factor in our lives, especially when no one is home to cook for us.

Sure, you can survive on instant noodles - but I don't think that's very healthy eating instant noodles everyday! That said, cooking instant noodles is possibly the easiest thing to cook. No preparation, just 2 steps to follow. Insert noodles into boiling water, add seasoning.

Yeah, i think everybody should have...not all the time we are with our mother who will cook for us. We need to be independent regarding with this coz it will help us to stand being far away with our mother, also when we have our family as a woman i am the one who will take care of my family and to man not all the time when you get married your wife will be there always..
