Do you like to cook?
Do I ever!!!!!  I try to always cook at the level of skill that i currently posses, while striving to increase my knowledge of cooking techniques.
I have never enjoyed it.  I can do it, it's just not a favorite thing of mine to do.  My family wishes it was though!
My advice is to buy a Wok.  Woks can be used in a variety of ways, including poaching, frying, stewing, searing, etc.
Oh, I would have never thought about that, I thought they were only used for stir-frys
Oh no, woks are versatile items.  In the winter, you can even use them as a sled to go sledding, like they do on that German TV show hosted by Stefan Raab.
