I just got off of cooking some bomb-ass apple crisp, and I've cooked/baked plenty of other dishes before. To all of you aspiring (or possibly employed) chefs out there, which is better? Cooking or Baking?

Idk, I think they're both equally hard

….
considering the time I burned the stove……..
…
and almost burnt the house down

I feel like I shouldn't ask, so I'll just say I'm glad you're alright.

I cook more often than baking but prefer baking
In fact, a friend and I are making a cake for a school project

Lol Thank you, But I mean, I've done more baking and I've hardly cooked so I would say baking…I mean I'm in a baking competition with a professional baking friend, what could possibly go wrong?

I mean, your butter could harden before you're done mixing. That's not always fun.

BAKING IS BETTER FOREVER AND ALWAYS.
(sorry i just love baking so much)
(props to any cooks out there tho)

I always feel accomplished when I make food

The only thing that tastes better than food you make yourself is free food.

I usually cook but I hate it. I love baking.

BAKIIIINGGGG IS MY PASSIOOONN

Baking is fun. Cooking is harder in my opinion. But both make me super exhausted afterwards. Like I love baking with my friends and last time I had someone over we made titty sugar cookies but afterwards I was so wiped out.
To be fair we also had to go to the store in the middle of it cuz we fucked up on adding too much sour cream and tried to make another batch but we used up all of the flour and needed more eggs.

I love baking. I only just started to learn how to cook recently because I made it my new years resolution. I want to move out eventually, and when I do I don't want to be living off of frozen meals.

UPDATE: I had the apple crisp once it cooled down and IT. WAS. GLORIOUS!

I can do both equally well… I mean I'm 16, and I'm living with my significant other, and our parents live next to us, so I guess I should know as much as I can about cooking and baking… (it's Alaska, and we have promised to be with each other, think like really long term fiance)

As a side note to my delicious crisp, I feel that cold apple crisp is the best because of all of the juices and fruit firming up a bit. However, hot apple crisp tastes amazing, too. I think I'll add just a tad bit of cleargel into the mix for texture.

I would recommend that. (Or you can use wax. I use it to make chocolate glossy, and have a longer shelf life. Idk if it works for pastries though.)

Wax? I'm assuming you don't mean the stuff they use to make candles with. It is primarily used for chocolate?

I like both cooking and baking. I like food in general.

BIGGEST MOOD

Yes. I use a type called gulf wax. I believe it's a more refined type of wax than that of candles.

Like the wax they put on apples to make them shiny ?

Yeesh, every time I see those shiny apples, I think about trying to bite into one of those Marshalls display knockoffs and getting a mouthful of just… unpleasant feelings.
