They're saying 40% of people under 30 can't?!


Question: They're saying 40% of people under 30 can't!?
cook a potato! I find this hard to believe!. Are you under 30 and if so can you cook a potato!? (oh and chucking one in a microwave for ten minutes doesn't count)!.Www@Enter-QA@Com


Answers:
I'm 18, and I am a very good cook!. Not only do I know how to cook a potato, but I can cook simple things like shepherd's pie (something else they said that under-30s could not cook) without using a recipe!. I can cook a lot of things with a recipe book and I enjoy making up recipes!.

That said, my student's cookbook has instructions on how to boil an egg, how to make mashed potato, etc!. I laughed when I saw this, as these are things that I've known how to do from an early age!. My entire family loves cooking, so I have been doing it ever since I was a child!. Cooking and eating is one of the great pleasures in life for me!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

I believe it!. There aren't too many bright folks out there!.



1 large russet potato (If it looks like Mr!. Potato Head, you've got the right one!.)
Canola oil to coat
Kosher salt
Directions
Heat oven to 350 degrees and position racks in top and bottom thirds!. Wash potato (or potatoes) thoroughly with a stiff brush and cold running water!. Dry, then using a standard fork poke 8 to 12 deep holes all over the spud so that moisture can escape during cooking!. Place in a bowl and coat lightly with oil!. Sprinkle with kosher salt and place potato directly on rack in middle of oven!. Place a baking sheet on the lower rack to catch any drippings!.

Bake 1 hour or until skin feels crisp but flesh beneath feels soft!. Serve by creating a dotted line from end to end with your fork, then crack the spud open by squeezing the ends towards one another!. It will pop right open!. But watch out, there will be some steam!.

NOTE: If you're cooking more than 4 potatoes, you'll need to extend the cooking time by up to 15 minutes!.

I'm not really qualified to answer being just the wrong side of 40, but I've been married and running a home - including cooking! - since I was 21!.
My son has his own place and is 21 - he can cook!. My 18 year old daughter lives with us and she has been cooking full meals since she was 11!.
The main problem is that cookery isn't widely taught in schools these days which is a great pity!. Everyone should learn the basics for being able to live alone or to run a household!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
