This statistic displays the results of an online survey conducted in 2013 and 2014. About 902 U.S. chief household shoppers were asked if an increased home cooking frequency during the past two years improved their overall cooking skills. In 2014, 70.7 percent of U.S. consumers indicated that the higher frequency in home cooking over the past two years let them become better cooks.
If you have been cooking more at home the past two years, has the experience improved your cooking skills?
