[xSiLLyMex]

[demolished]

hahaha. that's simple. All i have to do is .. pour water in it.

[demolished]

Edit.

You're confusing me now.

[*reflection*]

[lovescream]

11 - Eggs. :] I've only cooked it once, but I'm still afraid of fire.

[smrkangl]

[sharerol]

Umm umm umm..

[SMUSHiENESS]

Around 9. It was eggs, and my mom made me cook some vegtable.

[jennyjenny]

I was 7 and it was eggs. Like everyone else...

Well I was 9 and I learned how to make spaghetti and like bake stuff from boxes.

[*salcha*]

I was 13, and it was frozen food...
...does that count? I suck at cooking.

[monxcheri]

Turn the fire lower. Just stay away enough to get burn. Less risky and caution.

I hope it helps.

Umm umm umm..
I still can't cook.

Ask your parents to teach you how to cook eggs, grill food, or make guacomole dip.

[PiGo]

Umm, I don't know how to cook....I've only done it a couple times, but that was in school. I don't really care though, because there is nothing in my oh so particular diet that needs to be cooked, except french fries, but you don't do those at home

[lbjshaq2345]

8 grilled cheese sandwich

[Kenado]

11 in home ec class i learned how to make pancakes

[Aestuarium]

[yummy_delight]

I still haven't. I can make food when pressured. However, people have almost choked and died on my food on numerous occasions.

[*XLilAznGrl592X*]

Hmm.. I never really learned how to cook before..

[xoxoxx]

i don't really call it cooking, but it involves fire, and a cooking untensil.

put some of that chicken broth into a soup thing and boiled it =D

[*xcaitlinx*]

i have no idea..i mean at like the age of 7 i would make cereal. i don't really remember when i actually started using the oven though. haha that's ironic because tonight i made lasagna for my family. (i'm the best lasagna maker everrrr)

[freeflow]

[daonlylonely1]

[DrSMooTH]

i was nine when i first learned how to cook. My mom taught me on the weekends so that me and my brother wouldn't starve if she or my dad got home late.

[jue]

besides instant noodle; i learned to cook at like 5th grade?

it was RiCE (:
and now i could cook beggies; fish; rice; noodle ; soup and other stuff :)
and im darn proud of myself aside from the times i got the microwave on fire and the stove on fire.

[demolished]

[inthemudhole]

Well, I had to cook for myself as a kid at times, so I suppose I was about six or seven when I had learned how to cook some fairly simple things....like eggs and other breakfast things like that and certain things in the oven.

[HoT_x_STuFF]

lol i thnk i was 9... it was eggs and sausage...

[iheartjohn]

I was making pasta dinners by age 9.

[dahding]

when i was....5? i made eggs.

oh, and i practically blew up my kitchen at the same time.

but i was hungry....

[inlonelinessidie]

Four? But it wasn't like really cooking, more like peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.

[jeSs1cA]

Cookies, of course my parents helped me though. I was probably .. what-- 8?

[rx_azngirl]

[2 wordsTomFelton...]

I was 10.. the first thing i cooked was scrambled eggs!!:-D

[demolished]

Well, I had to cook for myself as a kid at times, so I suppose I was about six or seven when I had learned how to cook some fairly simple things....like eggs and other breakfast things like that and certain things in the oven.

Wow. You're interesting. What else did you cook, chef ?

when i was in third grade...hhaha
but my dad helped me so i dunno if that counts

i can cook by myself now though =D
im sixteen

[demolished]

^
It depends .. If you just stir the stuff and let your dad do all the work. That's nothing.

[angel-roh]

I start to cook fried eggs and scramble eggs when I was in 7th grade.

I knew how to make ramen when I was in 8th grade.

-_-;;

[Gigi]

I can bake frozen pizza, make ramen, eggs and sausages. That is all this year too.

[toodlepops.]

[mouse_3k]

I still cant cook and im 16....

[iheartsimba]

uhm..I learned how to cook different things at different points of my life. I didn't learn how to make everything in like one day..and I'm still not an amazing cook yet.

[*Tainted Euphoria*]

I was 10. I learned how to make an omelette. Yum ^_^

[*incoherent*]

uh pretty young. i used to have stay home with my brother during the summer cuz my parents worked so id probably say 7-8 cuz it was either learn how to make something or starve.

[DanceJunkee]

I think somewhere in middle school--and like most, it was eggs

Too bad its still like one of the only things I can cook and I'm 18 now

[Bobblehead425]

9 yrs old // ramen noodles, and eggs...and hotdogs...oh yea and cake...

[gOODpIRATE]

seven.

i actually got noddles and put it in a PAN thingie, put water in it, and watched to cook on the STOVE.

so even if it is somewhat instant noodles, i think it still counts because it involves appliances and the stove. haha.

but now, i can cook about anything that has instructions at the side of the box.

[Im So Vain]

11 I started making eggs, I can also make cake too.

[*Weird addiction*]

I'm 17 and i still can't cook.

[iL0v3CaPtAiN0AtS]

ha ha, i'm 14 and i still can't really cook. but i mastered kraft mac and cheese around 4 i think. what can i say, it was usually me and my brother at home, and he got tired of making it for me, so he taught me how to do it myself. :-P

Cooking is sort of fun but creative.

it is fun, but its not cool when your mom ran out on you and your family

[HongKongDong]

^yo im sorry about that...

My grandma before her demise started teaching me how to cook when I was like 8.

[ApocalypseAelis]

I don't know how to cook. In fact, I haven't cooked a single thing in my life. Unless you count that time when I was at a friend's house and she gave me canned soup and tomatoes to stir in the pot over the oven. That was when I was 12.

Go me.

[ParanoidAndroid]

um 11 and i was making "pancit"... but i burned it anyways

[lisaaaaaaa]

i guess like 10 or something. it was eggs. and for the instant noodles, i actually put it in a pot and pour water and put other ingredients in. and i know how to cook rice o_o and other stuff...

boil eggs and crack the shell. Once you're done, slice the eggs and make it into a sandwich. You can put it w/ the ham.

it is fun, but its not cool when your mom ran out on you and your family

That's true but it's a good experience.

[OhXiet_ItzDonnA]

[iheartjohn]

I was 8, I believe.

[*mipadi*]

I still don't know how to cook, unless it can be microwaved or has the word "instant" in the name.

Except cheesecake. I can make cheesecake from scratch.

[inquisitive_]

I still can't cook. Sad but true.

[cfaye3char]

my moms got sick, so my father taught me how to cook. I was about 14yrs. It was a baked chicken and a cake, and I still make those well. I love to cook

[lbjshaq2345]

13, i learned to make spaghetti

[nezumi]

I was like 10 and it was rice or pastas, sth easy like that, but I guess I missed it though

[Nicolatofu]

My mom started out by showing me when she cooked, and I started to learn how to cook meals when I was 11 or 12. But I learned different things earlier than that like ramen noodles and such.

[tequila_sky]

proper cooking till I was 14 or so.

[TheReasonWhy]

12 i guess.
