Cooper's cooking tips

1. You must always cook holding at least one sock.



2. Turn your back and ignore the pot for a while. A watched pot never boils!



3. As long as you're ignoring the pot, you might as well completely forget about it and get distracted by the camera!



4. By the time you remember your cooking, it's probably done, so stick your hand in the pot and enjoy!
