[quote=bakersman]I can understand where you are coming from, OP. I learned to cook as an adult. But there are some cooking terms that are basic enough that you need to learn them if you want to cook something that doesn't come straight from a box. I encountered my favorite confusing term when I learned to make bread. For many bread recipes you need to knead the dough until it is "satiny and elastic;" what the hey. I've always thought that new cooks are asking for tired and true recipes that have more steps than combining different pre-made ingredients together. It's not that I don't have a few recipes like that, its just when someone says they want to learn to cook I don't think to pull them out of the box. I would go to that box if someone asked for a recipe with only 4 or 5 steps.[/quote]
