    imagine separating “actual cooking” and “prepping”. Maybe “work the skillet/pot/oven” and “prep” or the typical “pre-prod” “prod” and “post”.

    Prepping and cleaning can be shared. That is how you split the labor. That is cooking together. If one person is less skilled maybe try to learn a little so you can enjoy it together (or not, maybe thats just their thing just a suggestion) and maybe if you are the more skilled one offer helpful tips.

    Im being too serioili for a meme sub my bad but still cooking together can be fun

      You mean like a professional kitchen?

        Ah so when you say you’re gonna cook dinner, people ask you “well who’s going to prep and clean after?” Nope, people know that “cooking dinner” means the whole shebang because it’s, in fact, not a professional kitchen believe it or not

        That level of pedantry is maybe why you should focus on building relationships with people in positive ways instead of saying shit like that lol

        just cook together dammit, which means doing the prep and cleaning together—you know, the stuff people would enjoy help and company with to lighten the burden? Maybe because you’re in a relationship with each other and actually enjoy making your partners lives a little nicer lol
