I think they meant cooking as a life skill. Over a lifetime you'll save more money on eating out, if you know how to cook, than you would on locksmith services, if you know how to pick locks. Unless you're ridiculously careless with your keys and get locked out every week, I guess. Knowing how to cook will also keep you healthier and the value of good health is immeasurable.
