Thread: Do you like to cook or bake?

I mean do you actually enjoy it?

I love to bake -- I'd love to have a kitchen with a wall of ovens so I could just keep mixing and throwing it in an oven to bake

Cooking is OK but more of a chore -- peeling and chopping and frying...and no one ever comes home and says "YUCK you made cookies AGAIN!!" like they do when they see something a little mundane on the table for supper...

I love to do both, but I think I like cooking more.

I also like to do both., I think I like to cook more because cooking isn't really an exact science, I don't have to measure out everything when I cook., whereas with baking, if you put too much of an ingredient or too little of an ingredient in that could ruin the whole thing. Plus with cooking, you can taste your way thru to see if you need alittle more of this or alittle more of that and you really can't do that when baking.

i LOVE too cook and bake! my family has never snubbed a meal i've maked for them!! nor have they ever passed up a cheesecake, cake or cookies i've made for them either, lol!!

I agree with the above. I love to cook. I like to make it up as I go. Baking isn't as feasible for me because of the reasons above plus the fact that my over is like 40 years old and doesn't cook anything even enough to be able to bake.

I LOVE to cook and bake!! I love to try new things even though my husband doesn't really care to. I just hate the doing the dishes after!!!

Hubby is just happy to eat what he knows he likes...funny thing is that when we were first married there were sooo many things he wouldn't eat that he loves now, like: mexican food, chinese food, filipino food, seafood and the list goes on.

I cook because we need to eat. I bake occasionally because I have a wicked sweet tooth and hubby never turns down a cookie.

I LOVE to cook but cannot bake to save my life. I can cook up any meal you can think of but if you ask me to make brownies from a box I will manage to have them come out tasting awful!!! LOL I have even failed at "no fail fudge"!!!! :-)
