Does Microwaving a Frozen Dinner Count as Cooking?

12/12/2012




It seems the definition of a "home cooked meal" is REALLY shifting as we get lazier and lazier.  In a new survey, only 19% of parents say they cook dinner every night.  That's really low, and doesn't even tell the whole story.  Because "cooking" clearly means different things to different people . . .

27% of people say that putting a frozen pizza or chicken nuggets in the oven counts as cooking.

25% say heating up a can of beans would count as cooking.

20% say microwaving a frozen dinner counts as cooking, and 9% have tried to pass one off as something they cooked from scratch.
