Seasoning meat and cutting up vegetables, bung them in the oven until done.Is this considered cooking? Or does real cooking require combining ingredients into something new? Because this is what I do most days and I've been told its no different to just putting a ready meal in the microwave in terms of cooking ability
>>22011187>Is roasting/baking cooking?
>>22011201Basically yeah, I've been told that there's no skill to it so it isn't really cooking
>>22011236Only a fool admires complexity.
>>22011236told by who?
>>22011244Why did you make this thread then? Checkmate.
What did you want us to sayYes, no, who cares?
>>22011187Most cooking is boring, but it still counts.
>>22011315Cool, glad to hear it
>>22011236believe it or not, cutting food into roughly uniform chunks, coating in oil, and seasoning with salt and herbs takes more skill and effort than 90% of people are willing to exert
