Do your children know how to cook?

While my son has degrees in meat processing and the culinary arts, my 34 year old daughter (mother of four) cooked me a baked potato in the microwave last night - set the timer on twenty (yes, 20) minutes. I wasn't home yet, but my wife said she had to crawl on the floor to avoid the smoke - to turn off the microwave. My baked potato looked like a charcoal biscuit. :shaky:
 
No children here, but with 25 years of culinary experience I'm guessing if I did have any they would be well versed in the fundamentals.
 
When my daughter was a little girl, my wife asked her to make some hard boiled eggs and told her to just put the eggs in a pan of water and boil them for a few minutes. So - she took a dozen eggs and cracked open every one of them, then boiled the whole mess - shells and all - in a pan of water, just like her Mom told her. :D
 
The microwave is fine - couldn't even tell this morning - unless I've become acclimated to the smell already.
 
I don't have kids yet, but they'll know how to cook. I'm not the best ever, but I can cook some pretty good food and can grill a mean hamburger or steak. I became quite motivated when I noticed friends of mine couldn't cook at all. Some of them wouldn't know how to scramble an egg, let alone do something more complicated. Many just ate frozen dinners and fast food all though college; to me there is nothing better than a good cooked meal.

I always thought it funny; when a friend "cooked" it involved boiling noodles and then putting the pre-made alfredo sauce on them...it was like a big to-do that took up the entire kitchen.

I dont have any kids yet...But I plan to teach them how to cook, since I am a wiz in the kitchen :P Also, I will also teach them about computers since that field is growing and theres always a need for people with that knowledge.
