here’s why i head cannon steve as being a good cook.
he gets left at home alone a lot. to start with he lived off microwave meals or pizza, and he was fine with that. his parents left him more than enough money that he didn’t have to worry about it. 
but if you’ve ever been home alone with nothing to do but to flick through tv channels, you’ll know that there’s two options: daytime soap operas or competitive cooking shows (this masterchef).
and the cooking shows check a lot of boxes for steve. he’s competitive, he loves shouting at his tv because his fave contestant isn’t working quick enough, or his least favourite is struggling with a basic technique (”who doesn’t know how to fucking quenelle, diane?”). 
but more importantly he looooves the drama that goes with it all. that one contestant accidently took another contestants ice cream out of the freezer and now they don’t have enough time to make another one? steve looses his fucking mind. 
and steve watches these shows and thinks “it can’t possibly be as hard as they’re making it look, right?” and he has the money to give it a go. so he buys a load of ingredients and keeps ruining them until they resemble real food. 
he’s heartbroken that my kitchen rules only gets one season in the USA.
