Level 1: Can put something edible on the table, but lacks experience or does not practice enough. People may or may not want to eat it.
Example: Cooks ribs at high heat with a cheap jarred sauce.
Level 2: Capable of putting edible food on the table consistently, but still not a lot of experience.
Example: Has learned that reducing the heat on the ribs makes them come out slightly better, but still not smoking them and still using a cheap jarred sauce.
Level 3. First level of competency. Cooks often enough to have the experience to put decent food on the table, still uses some jarred sauces, higher quality ones, and the like, but starting to make their own too.
Example: Cooks ribs low and slow, but may not quite yet know what the 3,2,1 method is, but realizes that some wood chips along with temperature control makes for a better product.
Level 4: Competent cook. Cooks many times a week has a broad experience with a variety of cooking techniques. Mostly makes their own; spice mixes, sauces, gravies and the like.
Example: Not only is capable of using the 3,2,1 method for ribs, but knows that is not the only method. Is quite capable of making either fall off the bone ribs or competition worthy ribs with a delightful chew. Able to control not only temperature, but the amount of smoke on the meat.
Level 5: Professional cook, maybe even a chef. Quite capable of putting food on a table that people would pay a lot of money for.
Example: Quite capable of producing competition winning ribs using their own spice mix, sauce, and cooking method.
