Re: cooking habits...got any?
I never measure anything for some reason...
Re: cooking habits...got any?
i'm a taster...i taste the food a lot while its cooking...bad habit
and i munch on raw rice, even when its soaking in water....another bad habit
Re: cooking habits...got any?
loads...
I never stick to the the instructions, never measure, and yes I taste some food while cooking, not all of them.
My friends call me a freak, I have to wash and dry my hands, the knife I am using and the chopping board each time i chop something new.
I hate sea food so I have seperate pots and pans for that, and a washing sponge too...
Re: cooking habits...got any?
I do multi-tasking. For example, while I am chopping the onions, the oil is being heated up in the pot.
I add salt at the very end.
I like to clean as I go. So in the end there aren'tmany pots / bowls to wash.
When following recipes, I skip or add at least one step to give it my own touch. :D
Re: cooking habits...got any?
^^^ you are a woman arent ya?
I dont believe for one second that you can multitask whilst chopping onions..and cleaning up too
How very shocking
Re: cooking habits...got any?
i have never been in kitchen.. i dont know how to cook :(
Re: cooking habits...got any?
Tv -- whenever possible.
I love to cook but hate to clean. It's a good thng my husband willingly cleans up.
I like to put garlic and/or cheese in everything.

OUCH, sound so like me!!
Re: cooking habits...got any?
I eat while i'm cooking, by the time i finish makin what im makin, im stuffed n cant eat it :(
Re: cooking habits...got any?
I cook sometimes for two reasons
1. TO GET OUT OF DEPRESSION (occupies the mind)
2. To put something good in my body , rather than a hosh-posh of garam masala and haldi with some unknown vegetable in it.
Otherwise I hate cooking.
What kind of a cook are you?
A messy one or a clean one (or something in between?)
I clean and cook at the same time. I cut all the ingredients I'm going to use and then wash the dishes. Then put something on stove/oven and wash the used dishes/spoons/haandi etc again. Then clean the rest of the kitchen. By the time the dish is done my whole kitchen is clean! :D
What about you?
Re: What kind of a cook are you?
It depends. If my sister or husband are around, they do the cleaning because I hate to. Otherwise I do it as I go along and am pretty clean.
Re: cooking habits...got any?
I cook with the music on really loud.

Oops, I didn't notice there was a similar thread open already :o

Re: cooking habits...got any?
I have lots as well:
- I put on an old lab coat over my clothes and put a shower cap on my head so no hair falls into the food
- I continuously taste test my food to check for salt
- I wash dishes while I cook because I only have one sink
Re: cooking habits...got any?
