Fifth of survey respondents had ‘no confidence’ in kitchen, with microwave identified as ‘gadget we cannot live without’
Boiling an egg is supposed to be cookery 101 but, while some Britons are rolling their own pasta and blowtorching the perfect creme brulee, research shows one in four would struggle to serve soft-boiled eggs and soldiers.
While more than a third of those interviewed about their skills in the kitchen rated themselves as “excellent” or “very good” cooks, about a fifth had “no confidence”, with a small group admitting they “look up how to cook every meal”.
