Me, my wife is great at a lot of things but cooking is definitely not one.

I work an hour away. I work 8-12 hours a day. I either use a crock pot or other means but I cook during the week. He cooks on weekends all meals. Either on one of the grills or in the house. This has worked for 25 years.

I learned how to cook from my uncle and grandfather. Both of which did a lot of the cooking in the house.


That's why great cooks are called Chef's and not Chefettes. The womens are just wanna be's.

If a young man does find a good woman who that can cook and do the other things also, then he should marry her. Just my .02 cents.

He does about 75% of the cooking and all
Major meals like Thanksgiving and Christmas and Easter.

I cook quick meals during the week sometimes. I prob cook just as much out at the plant as at home.

Fortunately my wife and I both enjoy cooking and we're both pretty good at it.

She plans out a menu that covers 10-12 days straight.

During the week which ever one of us gets home first will start dinner.

On the weekends or holidays we usually decide who will cook based on what we have planned on the menu

She does some things better than me, I have some meals that I prepare and enjoy more.

I find it to be a fortunate situation. Always good groceries at my place.

Wife cooks a ton during the week, albeit kid friendly casseroles etc.

Im the self designated meat chef/ outdoor cook. Smoking, grilling, Blackstone stuff is all me.

I handle 99.9%. I enjoyed it for a while but it’s just a fricking hassle now.

My wife would intentionally get home 5 minutes after me then push the vacuum around acting like she’s got so much to do.

I do the vast majority of the cooking. I enjoy it. However, I don't love doing dishes.

Every once in a while, the wife will cook a recipe she saw on TikTok. Usually, it's pretty good but, my God, I think she tries to dirty every dish in the house when she cooks. It's insane.

During the week, we have our quick standards that we rotate every week or so. On the weekends, I typically have more time to cook things that are a little more time consuming.

If there’s time I always cook. Sometimes let her do the sides.

I do all the daily cooking and grilling, though sometimes she helps if I get distracted while having a beer at the grill. Anything fancy or involving a recipe, she's the cook and I am sous chef. I probably handle 80% of the cooking duties. I like it though. I sit at a desk all day at a computer, so meal prep relaxes me and gets me moving. Her job keeps her on her feet all day so she does not like to cook when she gets home.

I prepare 100% of what I eat because I live alone and 99% of what I eat is all natural. No ingredients other than what I add.

In Louisiana it is most likely the man, but most other states women are losing the ability to cook. Their mom's know but they learned nothing.

Her momma can cook like a mofo, but I guess the Mrs. didn't help out and learn much as a kid.
