Man up. Who does the cooking?

[Rookie]

I make comments about my wife being in the kitchen, but, the truth is, I do most of the cooking. I love my wife, but her knowledge of seasoning stops at salt. So, who does the cooking in your house?

I made it multiple choice so you can vote properly.

 

[hemicharger]

My wife does the cooking because I work a 52hr week at the fire Dept and another 18 to 27 hrs at the gun shop. She appreciates what I do for my family and in return I get a home cooked meal every night I am home.

While I voted "most", it's really about 35-40%. I know my way around the kitchen and can read a recipe, and enjoy cooking. My wife is retired, so has more time than I do; but, I get out there when I can. -- Greg

I won't vote since it would skew the results, but I do most of the cooking. The time when I don't I still wish I did because having to clean up the mess is worse than having to prepare a meal.

Um. You can vote bacon?

During the week, my wife and I eat separate things. She cooks her own dinner. And since I eat later, I cook my own.

Weekends, we'll cook dinner together. I actually enjoy cooking. I'm a DAMN good cook.

we eat out most everyday. I would rather starve than let my wife cook. she does have a couple signature dishes that arent bad. pop tarts, and canned mushroom soup for example

If I did locate the stove, I wouldn't know what to do with it.

 

[jerp239]

I do all of the cooking, if I didn't I would go without. I am slowly teaching my wife how to make a few simple things, it's a slow process.

 

[ATOMonkey]

I do all of the cooking and have since we started dating.

She literally didn't even know how to boil water when we started dating. Still doesn't, but she's getting better.

Pet peeve time... Water boils at 212F give or take regardless of how high you turn up the stove. Leaving the stove on HI just burns anything in the bottom of the pot.

So, who dies the cooking in your house?

dies in cooking

Well I don't think anyone would DIE if Brad did any cooking. I woudn't die but I might be shocked and not be able to speak if Brad did any cooking.
His method is frozen pizza or a sandwich and maybe a can of soup. No cooking really and his favorite is a bowl of cereal. I do all the cooking and I do all the clean up.

 

[OiRadio47]

I cook if possible. Should have went to culinary school, but dont like working nights and weekends! I do most of the cooking in winter months when im laid off. Hard to cook working 60-70 hours during the summer months.

 

[CountryBoy19]

I do about 95% of the actual cooking. My wife can put a frozen pizza in the oven if we're not actually "cooking" anything.


But that's not to say she doesn't know her way around the kitchen. She bakes cakes/cupcakes/cookies as a side job. She does most of the dessert type baking, but I do almost all of the actual cooking for meal-time.

 

[redneckmedic]

I do most of the cooking at the firehouse and likewise at my house. Days that we both have off my wife makes dinner, but since she works 2 days a week I can make dinner for the family whiles shes out.

You know you're going to be in trouble if she sees this

We tend to try to cook together.

 

[goinggreyfast]

Couldn't really vote. We are really split down the middle on cooking duties. Breakfast is her, lunch is "if you want it, make it yourself"and supper is mostly me/sometimes her. She's the "country cook" and I'm the one who cooks anything ethnic. I think the comment was made, "her knowledge of seasoning stops at salt"??? Well dude, we must have married sisters.

BTW, "Hey woman, where's breakfast??? I'm a wantin' some bacon!"

 

[Sylvain]

I cook most of the time unless my girlfriend tells me that im not allowed to enter the kitchen when she wants to be the one who's cooking.
Sometimes we cook together.

 

[ljadayton]

I did all the cooking. His ability was (and still is I'm told) limited to reheating in the microwave or cooking ramen. Or fixing cereal. Anything else was my domain

 

[ATOMonkey]

I'll ratchet it up a notch.

I do all of the grocery shopping too.

 

[Andre46996]

Weekends are the only time we spend together.

Breakfast Her
Dinner Me

Nothing better then waking up grabbing a cup of coffee and plopping down in the recliner clicking on the TV and smelling BACON cooking.

I prefer cooking, I have a wide and varied menu. She does outstanding with breakfast.

I also prefer if I do the grocery shopping because I know what I want to make and can go in get what I need and be gone, when she shops it is up and down every isle then back to the other side because we forgot something, then whild waiting in line there is always this " Damn, Mike could you run and grab...." I love doing the sprint through the store, normally I end up standing in line with one item because I didn't make it in time.
