You scored 93 correct!

You're either an avid subscriber to Pampered Chef (where a lot of these utensils came from) or you just pay close attention when cooking. Either way, if you ever want to send me some free food, I'll be glad to partake of it!

You scored higher than 99% on correct

This is a wimpy cooking test. Perhaps we need to take tests that can discriminate between 99.9% and higher, so you can find chefs that can eliminate lousy cooks and support people who can actually produce some food that is worthy of being consumed?

Your Score: Gourmet

You scored 96 correct!

there's only ten questions :confused:

Thats rather surprising though since cooking to me means pouring boiling water over some dried noodles. Although it was quite easy to guess from the options. :rolleyes:

This is just too funny. This is an actual ad on OKC. I had no idea they were handing out certificates now.

So, was it a cake slicer/server or a pizza slicer/server? It looked like it could be both (wasn't sure if the thing at the top of the handle was a pizza cutting blade, or just a decoration). Since it doesn't tell you which ones you got wrong, I don't know if I guessed right on that one or not.
 
I said pizza slice/server because the of the wheel at the top of the handle.

Considering I never cook, that's pretty good.

Good for you! You've probably seen your fair share of cooking shows and can be pretty handy in the kitchen. I wouldn't recommend you run off to open your own restaurant just yet, but it could be in your future.

Well, there wasn't any choice that it was a dumbell. Just because you're slaving in the kitchen all day doesn't mean one should neglect a little bit of toning of their muscles. :biggrin:

I think a better question is, without showing you a picture of this kitchen utensil, is it a :

1)Back scratcher
2)This has to be the eyeball gouger
3)It's just a melon baller
4)Potato Eye Gouger

... lol
