she spilled so bad i fear😭

she’s right but the same logic does NOT apply to baking. because with baking if something’s slightly too warm or cool or you stir slightly too much, the whole thing is fucked

It means they tried one time and gave up immediately instead of simply trying again and learning from mistakes its just laziness atp

When people say they can’t cook they usually mean it doesn’t taste good. Like yes something was technically cooked but it isn’t good.

me when I look at the recipe and follow the instructions

I know people who can still mess up those "basic" instructions. Lol cooking is def still a science. There are rules that arent always in the recipe book. You learn it overtime.

When I say I can’t cook it means, I’m not going to cook so don’t expect me to

Just because you can follow basic recipes doesn't mean you can cook.

she needs to mind her business !!!! (i can’t cook)

I mean…cooking is a science lol It’s not just “omg I read 10 steps and now the food is magically in front of me!”😭😭Sometimes messing up even a single step can ruin the whole dish and people who can’t cook don’t really know the methods to do certain things correctly🤷🏽‍♀️

i personally consider myself not being able to cook besides trying because i don’t understand the terms some people are using and like they’re saying an action and i’m like « how do you do that? » i’m slowly trying to learn but not being able to cook is a real thing.

“i can’t cook” = i hate it because it’s tedious and messy and always turns out mediocre and then i have to clean everything and all that free time i spent on something unrewarding could’ve been spent enjoying something i want to do 🤷

it's more or less just people are too laze to put in effort to make home cooked meals. it really is just following instructions and timing

this bitch made tomato soup and grilled cheese and now thinks she’s the gordon ramsay of cooks, criticizing others 🤦🏼‍♀️

i think some ppl who say that either are stupid and can’t follow directions or they “can’t cook” because it takes so long and they get bored

Is spilling so bad a good thing or a bad thing?

Also cooking is just like building something.. some people just can't do it. I know someone that can mess up scrambled eggs. Probably the easiest thing to cook on the planet.

She's intelligent and young. She has a good heart and believes that everyone is like her on some basic level but they just aren't. She'll figure it out. It's best not to focus on the why's. Live your life, learn always.

istg i follow the instructions and like 7/10 it still doesn’t work. idk what it is, how i’m doing it wrong. but there are like, two things i can kinda consistently cook correctly. everything else? who knows

THIS. COMPLETELY AGREEEE. like okay, it might not be gordan ramsay level but you can still make something edible. Saying "I can't cook" kinda says that you're a giving up type of person. "I can't cook good" is different.

“i’m legitimately mentally handicapped and incapable of using my brain” is what they mean

yes facts, I also can cook anything if you give me the recipe, ...although this doesn't apply for BAKING. baking is a different story. it has to be approved by the gods, if your sins are too heavy, your bake won't raise, no matter what you do, it just won't work!

Anyone can follow instructions, but everyone can't do it right, which leads to the ''I can't cook'' statements cause some either don't understand or can't follow simple instructions 🤷🏿‍♂️

"You might mess up a few steps" which changes the entire taste/consistency of some food therefore making them terrible. If I cook something and its fucking nasty, imma say I cant cook 🤯

hit the follow button while you’re here😭⭐️

It’s more complicated than that I think. Knowledge of cooking is gained through experience (knowing how to simmer or knowing that you have to pat dry chicken before frying) so unless the instructions are extremely detailed, it can be hard for people who haven’t done it before

It means I cannot cook as a performance or an art or as a Hobby. I can. But it's not enjoyable. It's similar to someone says that they can't sing or dance. Everybody can sing or dance but not in an enjoyable way.. I can't cook is the easiest way to say this .

The hard pill to swallow is that you have to be willing to be bad at cooking at first in order to become good at it. Which is true of any skill but it's especially difficult when the meal you've spent an hour on turns out badly and now you're starving and have a mess to clean up.

i mean, i can cook and im pretty good with it, but i think when people say they can't cook they mean they are BAD at it. not that they are physically uncapable of it, but their food comes out trashy generally

"What do you mean you can't do surgery? Just get out the text book and follow the instructions, idiot."

Indeed she did Unless you're actually disabled, you can cook. People who insist they can't are just lazy, stupid and have the survival skills of a koala.

I just recently got into baking and cooking to help my mental health it’s really not hard to follow instructions but for some people it’s just not like that I for the cookies and pancake mixtures I had to have someone sit on a call with me and walk me through each step

I fear you could apply this to any skill. "I can't play guitar." "Wdym you can't play guitar?? If someone asked me to play a song I wouldn't be able to, but give me the sheet music, a teacher, and practice time then I could. Is it not just following a basic set of directions?!"

I think when people say they can't cook they mean they can't make something without a recipe. Because some people could make a chicken casserole without a recipe

She’s eating grilled cheese and tomato soup… talking about people who can’t cook…
