When young chefs first start out on their culinary journey, they may wonder whether or not they should start off with baking or cooking. Sure, you’re more than welcome to do both, but you obviously have to start somewhere. The question is, which one is easier? If you’re contemplating this very question, let’s dive into this murky topic and discuss the right answer.

It Depends on Your Preference

The truth is that whichever one is easier will be based on your personality. At first glance, we feel compelled to say that cooking is easier because it’s a lot less rigid with its rules. You can break the mold of the recipe you’re following, and more often than not you’ll probably be good to go. So in that sense, perhaps cooking is easier for beginners. However, there’s also something comforting in following a recipe exactly the way it is, and there are many chefs who find it much easier to do that.

What Do You Love More?

But ultimately, what it really comes down to is which of the two you enjoy more. When it comes to baking or cooking, which of the two excites you more? Each of these paths will be full of obstacles, so the “easier” one will be the one that you love doing!

Baking and cooking are both two very expansive branches of the culinary arts, and neither of them should be taken lightly. However, if you’re a beginner in the kitchen and you don’t know where to start, there are easy recipes you can make in both avenues. So which one is easier to start with? There is an obvious answer… but it depends.

Baking is Precise

Most people veer towards the idea that baking is definitely harder than cooking. This is because when it comes to measurements of ingredients, baking requires a lot more precision and attention to detail. In that vein, baking is definitely harder. However, there are not-from-scratch options such as Duncan Hines and Pillsbury that allows you to bake cakes with extraordinary ease. And yes, even easier than most dishes that you’d normally cook.

Cooking Has More Leeway

As we mentioned, from a very basic standpoint, cooking is easier than baking. For most dishes that you throw into the oven, even if the recipe looks super complicated, it can be hard to really “mess something up”. You have a bit more freedom to be an artist, if you will, and have some fun with the seasonings—as opposed to baking, where if you mess up the amount of baking soda, your cake is pretty much a goner.

However, the reason we say that it “depends” is strictly because there are very easy instant cakes that you can make, such as the aforementioned Duncan Hines and Pillsbury brands, that taste pretty good. So go with what speaks to you!
