Re: [Basic] Skill of the week: Cooking
I'm sure it was. It just sounds funny to put an exact price tag on it. Really the guy was probably just looking for a substitute for vendetta and that was the best he could come up with.

For the sort of cooking that I do, which involves plenty of raw ingredients and preparation, is distinctly more than "heating water and opening boxes", but has no attention paid to appearance or presentation which are key elements in e.g. pleasing customers at a restaurant, it's not entirely clear where the dividing line lies. I've tended to assume "housekeeping", but I suspect that either skill could be applicable to that situation.

Making things from scratch only seems like highly skilled Cooking to pre-packaged loving Americans, of the sort I used to be. Now my GF has failed at boiling water and making boxed pancakes, so defaults all around. She put the scrambled dough "thing" picture on her Facebook.

Raw meat contains vitamin C that's destroyed by cooking and grilling creates carcinogens. Down with unnatural carbonized food! - Some inadequately educated naturopath.

Indeed. But somethings which you are academically accustomed to can sound strange when you see a specific example of them.
