An instant-read thermometer is your best bet for making sure that meat and fish are cooked to the proper temperature.

I get nervous cooking for our little house party barbecues. I'm very insecure with my cooking. I tend to throw things away that I'm scared of serving, even though they might be great.

I still don't know how to cook and that's just unacceptable.

Usually, one's cooking is better than one thinks it is.

There's just a certain fear that people have when they put meat coming out of a printer in their mouth.

I mean, I can cook, but I'd get very nervous having my food being judged by dinner guests.

Cooking is about passion, so it may look slightly temperamental in a way that it's too assertive to the naked eye.

People come up to me all the time and say, 'Oh, I love to watch Food Network,' and I ask them what they cook, and they say, 'I don't really cook.' They're afraid, they're intimidated, they know all about food from eating out and watching TV, but they don't know where to start in their own kitchen.

I don't cook, 'cause I don't know how to cook.

If people take the trouble to cook, you should take the trouble to eat.
