He asked for a Shrimp Pasta

It depends on what I am making and it depends on what kitchen I'm in...if I'm in my mom's kitchen I'm fast because it's bigger and a lot more counter space...now my kitchen in my apartment is small so I have to move things around etc...so yeah I'm slow in my own kitchen depending on how much I am cooking.

I agree.

For the last couple of years I basically nuke everything! LOL..but when I have company I like to take my time to make sure it's right! I have gotten to the point though lately that it's just a salad for supper....and that is so wrong! But winter is coming then I do enjoy cooking even more.....I can't eat shellfish either!

I cook rather fast, but I can't say for certain it's with efficiency. I don't think I'd be as precise as your DIL. I cannot chop things evenly, and I tend to make a mess as I go.

Wow, she moves like lightening! I think it really depends on what is being made and who's in the way when I'm making it. For instance, all parties were content a little while ago and I whipped up a pizza in about 15 minutes and threw it in the oven. But, if we're making bread, rolls or cookies the kids always want to help and helpful hands aren't always so helpful. It talke about an hour to get bread going when I have help. Just putting the stuffing in deviled eggs can take a 1/2 hour when I have 'help". Not that I mind, it's good practice for them in the kitchen, but I can throw stuff together quick if I've got the kitchen cleared of helping hands.

I can cook something up really quick, of course it depends on what it is. But when I take my time I can make a way better meal. I guess it all depends sometimes I just want to get it over with and finish cooking.

Well, if it involves any kind of fish or seafood, the answer is slow. I guess I cook fairly quickly, but I'm not kidding, when I'm cooking fish or seafood it seems to take me forever. Too bad I don't have Oprah's personal chef. Hey, we could all lose weight if we had our own chefs!

I don't know. Honestly I don't pay any mind to how long it takes to make a meal. i just know what my start times are so I know when to start cooking so the meal is done by the time hubby is up & when the kids are hungry. Especially this time of year I make faster meals when the weather is cool I have to consider baking times as well.

I can whip certain things together pretty quickly. But if you throw a new recipe at me, nope. Shrimp pasta sounds heavenly...

I am by no means a cook yet. I know how to cook a few things, and aren't practiced in them. I guess now I feel nervous cooking as before when I did cook it was mainly for myself as family either had ate something else, or just didn't want any. Maybe My food was only good to me?. My fiance and I cook slow when we do cook. Usually it's sloppy joes, taco's, um... spaghetti. I guess those are faster dishes to make though and no real preparation aside from salads are required. For sloppy joe's, we usually just have chips... In any case... I guess I'm right along with you, a slow cooker. My grandmother and my fiance's mom can cook things faster, and with knowing just when to put something on a burner so everything will be done at the same time.

HEY, tHAT SOUNDS GOOD. I LOVE SHRIMP & PASTA OF ANY KIND I HAVE EVER TRIED.I am a slow cook, he!! i'm slow at evrything i do anymore. I use to think i was pretty speedy doing things but that back when. She was a mighty good wife to do all that for him. Tell him good women are hard to come by.

That sounds like a really good dinner. Wish my kids would eat something like that. I think I can be a pretty fast cook most of the times. There are days when it seems like it takes me forever to get dinner cooking though.

I can throw a meal together pretty quickly. Of course, that's if everything is not from scratch. Maybe only one of two homemade items. My husband has always worked odd hours and I start cooking near the time he calls to say he will be home. I don't LIKE to do it that way, however. But I HAVE had lots of practice.:)

I believe I cooked pretty fast. This is also because I have been working in a commercial kitchen for almost 2 years now, thus all the chopping and slicing was a piece of cake for me. Although, one thing I have to worry about is that this made me not liking having other people helping me cooking, because I found them too slow or in the way. I know, I need to change this bad thinking. I have started to take it easy with this one, I let my sisters in the kitchen helping just a couple of nights ago! yay! One big thing I learn from working in the kitchen is we all have to be organised. When we do, we dont leave things behind, therefore, it will speed up the cooking process.

I like to cook slow most of the time. I have to cook fast sometimes though because of the schedule we have with working. I would rather cook slow and make sure it cooks the right way though.

I am definately a slow cook. I hate the task so much Blah . my sister on the otherhand is like Miss Flash. She enjoys cooking more than anyone else in the family and really does the best at it. I admire her for that. She does well too and is far more willing to try new stuff that I am. I just want to partake of some great home cooked meals as I hate junk food as much as I hate cooking.

i am always a slow cook. i hate it. i love to cook fast and be done with it and do something else. but when i tend to cook fast that the food end up tasting terrible. but my aunt i remember cook real fast and delicious too.

i always cook in a hurry to i don't know why unless it is i wait until i get so hungry that i hurry up and get it done so i can eat.unless i am cooking for someone then i know about what time to have it done and i take my time.Moma was the slowerest cooker i have even seen and every thing was good to
