the microwave

My wife mostly because she doesn’t work full time and she’s an incredible cook. When she doesn’t want to then I usually grill up something.

Usually I. My GF is usually exhausted after work in the afternoon (while I have a pretty chill Wfh-situation going on), I don’t mind it, I’m reasonably good at it, and I usually get to do it in peace.

In our house people know that if they’re hanging in the kitchen while food prep is happening, they get assigned something to do, usually mostly so I get left alone.

Whom ever. It mostly depends on who has time. There is agreed upon meal plan so there’s a list of recipes we plan on going through during the week. We usually break out who does what based on skill and interest, then people will make snacks or in-between meals as needed.

I cook about 1/3 of the time my wife about a 1/3 of the time and both of us together about 1/3 of the time. We are both very good cooks but have different strengths.

I’m better when I plan ahead equilibrium brines, sousvide, smoking, Indian currie etc. She can look at what’s in the fridge and whip up something good at short notice.

Together is usually each of us working on a different dish or me doing Mise en place for her.

Mostly I do the cooking because I love it, I am very fast doing it, I am very good at it and I like us to have healthy food in the house. He does some specific dishes that I don’t feel like doing. I made the rule of whoever does the cooking, also cleans up. It is strange at first glance, but I clean while I cook, so I don’t have to clean a bunch of stuff at the end. And he is a messy cook. So I don’t get in the kitchen while he cooks, otherwise I would get mad with the lack of efficiency.

And he loves my food much more than I do. It is a pleasure to see him enjoy what I cook.

The same person who did the cooking when I did live alone: not me.

Depends on work. And If we both work we cook together

I’m (m) gluten free and my wife is vegetarian so we often just cook for ourselves. When both of us eat one thing, I cook probably 70% of the time. I’m the better cook.

Although we do have specific roles. I make all of the popcorn she makes all of the smoothies.

wife and i live together. she is an awful cook; i do all of the cooking and baking for everything.

i even make foods for her work functions, etc…

If we want to eat today, then me. She’s a good cook but very slow. I used to work in restaurants so my chopping speed is orders of magnitude faster than hers.

I cook, my husband cleans up after. Because I am a good cook but not so good at cleaning. I do clean as I go, don’t explode the kitchen or anything but there is always more and he does that.

If the kids (teen and 20 are the ones still at home) don’t want what I make, they make their own food. All the kids cook better than my husband does - I remember when we were dating, his teenager asked if I could make mashed potatoes from potatoes for his birthday. But he got an Italian girlfriend and learned to cook too.

If I work late, I ask my husband to get us takeout and he does. On the odd occasion he cooks, I or the kids clean up.

Generally, we each cook for ourselves unless someone is sick or it’s an event or something, then I do the cooking.

The one that gets home first.

Just me and my wife, I usually cook because I am by far the better cook. I cooked a lot growing up and did it professionally for years, she barely ever cooked at home until she moved in with me. I love her, but she has no sense of culinary coherence, she just kinda throws things that she likes into the pan without any consideration of how the flavors work together.

I’m fine with doing the cooking because I can just slip into the groove, and she doesn’t mind it either.
