One thing many people did during the last year was cooking and baking…some for the first time.

And we thinking we’ve gotten pret-ty, pret-ty good at it!

A new Cinch survey on cooking finds on a scale from 1 to 10, we rate ourselves as a solid 6.8…that’s a 7 for women and 6.5 for men.

We do sometimes take liberties though:

• 65% like to “eyeball it” instead of using measuring cups
• 58% don’t usually follow a recipe
• 41% have used a spoon to taste something and then kept using it to mix 😳
• 38% use dull kitchen knives (which are more dangerous than sharp ones)
• 37% believe in the “five-second rule”
• 34% rinse chicken in the sink which is LESS sanitary
• 31% have dropped food on the ground and then used it in a meal anyway
• 26% don’t rinse fruits and vegetables
• 23% have cooked a full meal while intoxicated
• 15% don’t wash their hands while cooking
• 14% use the same cutting board for raw meat and then vegetables
• 8% of us burn things on purpose because we like the taste 

We say…leave it to the experts!
