The best way to describe Josh's method is to say that he cooks like a dog would likely cook. With next to no understanding or knowledge of what he's doing, but equipped with unrelenting determination and some fleeting confidence.
Cooking has always been an important part of Cobraverse, but especially in recent years, next to gender relations and farting into his camera, it became one of the most important outlets for the boy to communicate with his fans.
Although often referred to as 'cooking', what Josh does (aside from molesting whatever kitchen appliance he decides to use) is merely assembling random ingredients together, before blasting them in oven, or as a rare treat in a pan. Occasionally the boy manages to do something that could be on a good day considered cooking, but the result is almost certainly inedible, so it doesn't matter anyways.
It would seem that cobes has recognized that, and moved from “Cooking with Cobra” to the ominous “Food Hacks” - if you read that, and had no idea what kind of a person Josh is, you could possibly expect modifications of famous recipes, making them more convenient, cutting corners while making most of it, etc. Well, throw that out of the window (after Puff), because Jorp's idea of a “food hack” is to hack together bunch of crap, Epic Meal style, except imagine a dirty unwashed autist, too stupid to use knife and fork, and you get a decent idea of what kind of biohazard we end up with. Some people speculate that given the boy's diet, switching to normal food would kill him at this point.

It's impossible to list every noteworthy meal the bad kitchen boy has cooked over the course of years, as there are probably hundreds of examples, here are at least some of the most infamous food crimes achievements:
Potato "Fries" - Josh cuts up some potatoes into large chunks that no sane person would mistake for fries, and thanks to his expert skills and some grease fire, almost burns his old apartment down. “The warlock's bubbling cauldron spewed forth its black ichor as he sang his curses into the night.”
Deep Frtd Avocados - The boogerman (not to be mistaken with boogeyman) sets up to reduce innocent pieces of avocado into pile of ash. The dankness is strong with this one, the end result looks more like a pile of oysters than avocados, but has that chrunch 'n munch.
Genetic Mowden Dew Eggs - Do you like hard boiled eggs? Did you know you can 'reduce' them, like you would reduce a sauce while cooking a normal meal? Fear not, the Iron Bog will teach you the ways.
Sushi Pizza - Do you really want to ask?
DANK Mac 'n' Cheese - How to make Mac 'N Cheese that looks like mashed potatoes that were already in somebody's stomach. From the comments: It pairs great with apple sauce, monster, canned salmon and dark rum. M’lord has the palette of a swamp rat.
The Bedbug Burrito - The key to getting extra protein into your day old bogrrito is to leave it sitting out for all the bedbugs to enjoy. Seeing the boy crunch on actual bugs (that are trying to desperately hide within the rotting burrito) isn't for the faint of heart, doubtlessly one of the nastiest things Jorp has ever done. Some have accussed the boy of cannibalism, but his bugs ancestry has yet to be proven.
Cat Food Burger - When do you do, when trolls send you cat food? End sickos by wolfing it down, of course! Jorp puts reverse psychology onto another level. Incredibly disgusting to humans, a tasty treat for a boglim. Probably the healthiest meal he has eaten in years. And he enjoyed it, as he scarfed it down without any hesitation.

Every cook worth their pound of salt has a special technique. Cobra of course has his. Warning: Following boy's methods can lead to a very early death. So can actually cooking or eating any of his creations. Not recommended for the individuals of non-boglim species.

Every kitchen gourmet has their favorite ingredients that they can always rely on. Chef John of the Food Wishes fame enjoys a little bit of cayenne in almost every meal. John Townsend uses nutmeg in many of his classic meals. Josh of course has a set of ingredients that make a foundation of what makes his “dishes” stand out from the rest of those hacks.
Josh is well supplied by his loving family, which regularly buys him groceries for his nasty experiments 'food hacks', and over the course of years has used many exotic ingredients in combinations that no chef has ever thought before. For some reason, the boy seems to be allergic to almost all kinds of vegetables (perhaps doesn't want to engage in cannibalism), as they rarely appear in his dank hacks.
