I've often heard about beer chicken, or chops, or sauces made with beer. My wife even makes them regularly, but I had never tried it myself. Some might say there's no skill involved, and that's true. But if I look back just a year or so, I would only enter the kitchen to snack (not to look, not to participate) and then leave. The few times I fried an egg, I used a kitchen towel as a shield and poured the oil over the egg from a distance with a spatula. To remove it, I would take the pan off the heat and let it stop boiling before taking out the egg. Honestly, I think I've made some progress since then.
