Questionable Cooking Habits!
According to cinch.com we think we’re pretty decent cooks.
A survey asked people to rate their cooking skills on a scale from 1 to 10. The average person says they're a 6.8 . . . 7 for women, and 6.5 for men.
The poll also found 37% of us believe in the "five-second rule," and almost a third of us have used it while cooking. 31% have dropped food on the ground and then used it in a meal anyway.
