Okay maybe this isnt the best demographics here but like I mean as in if you know someone who’s Gen Z, do they have a “idk how to cook” issue?
(Please don’t be like “omg its easy, how could you not know” in the comments, be nice in the comments okay 🙈)
I’m great at both, and they feel pretty similar to me. Never understood this attitude, personally.
I’ve been a professional cook and worked in bakeries. It’s all just kitchen work. Lots of “cooking” recipes end up in the oven at some point, lots of “baking” requires prepping various ingredients on the stovetop. Also hot take but most home bakers aren’t even very precise. Pros measure by weight, not volume, and adjust the heat and bake time based on ambient humidity and temp…
People just lack experience, IMO with some reading and practice, any good baker can be a good cook and vice versa.
