/ck/ - Food & Cooking

>>15833707

You should be cleaning as you go unless you're a mongoloid who can't multitask. When the meals are ready, the only things I have left to clean are the last pans that had the meal and the dishes I'm about to eat on.

>>15833719
Why should I? I already did the labor of cooking. The other person has to clean.

>>15833736
>>15833707
You live alone, and probably always will live alone, so your obvious bait thread is even sadder

>>15833736

It's called being considerate to your family/SO and taking responsibility for the area around you. If you're thinking about this with the mentality of "I did it last time" then you're thinking like a child arguing about chores with a sibling.

>>15833750
we made this arrangement exactly 6 months ago when my gf moved in and she complains every time.
>>15833752
so they get to neither cook nor clean while I do both. sounds "fair".

I'd rather cook and do the dishes than clean up after someone else. An organised mess is a lot easier to clean up.

>>15833758

Your girlfriend sounds just as childish as you, so the best solution would be for you to cook for yourself and clean up after yourself. If she wants to eat she can do the same or order food.

>>15833752
This post seems like some AI made. No rational human would type this.

>>15833758
The "I cook you clean" people are always slobs. You already have a lazy mentality so you trash the kitchen because "lol I don't have to clean up" and act like it's reasonable someone has to clean up a bomb site for a mediocre meal.

all depends. if i am making food for only myself? I will clean as I go. If I'm making food for the entire house I will clean as I go but mostly be rinsing+organizing the dishes. Usually balances out to the other person cleans the dishes and I clean the stove and counters and such.

I've gotten into the habit of cleaning up as I'm eating. It's also a strategy to move me away from the screen during meals.

>>15833773
Damn bro you unintentionally roasted me. Im going to try to change my ways!

My wife is a really good cook but she leaves the kitchen in a state afterwards. It’s one of the things we fight about. She grew up rich with a live in maid so she doesn’t clean up after herself.

>>15833796
Sounds miserable. I hate messy people. I can only imagine a spoiled messy person.

>>15833719
>>15833719
how about fuck you, you made that mess, you clean that shit. when I cook, I clean too.

>>15833825
>you made that mess, you clean that shit
huh? then what does the other person do? they get to enjoy the meal and not have to do anything else?

>>15833825
This guy gets it.
>Always organised and tidy when cooking
>Clean up as you go
>After cooking left with an organised pile of rinsed dishes and a few pans
It is honestly so much easier this way. Fuck cleaning up after some lazy prick who doesn't give a shit.

>>15833796
>a live in maid
that's a weird level of rich. are they nobles or something?

>>15833856

They don't have to be, I know in some SEA cultures even the middle class have those because those people are obsessed with the impression of wealth and try to project it even when they can't afford it.

>>15833707
>waterlogged food in the sink
>prisonware
The mess is fine, but these are not.

>>15833707
Don't know what you cooked fagusa but with most meals i find myself with plenty of downtime between cooking where I can usually multitask and clean as I cook.

cooking is more fun than cleaning.

>>15833856
She’s from Brazil and as I understand it hired help is much cheaper there, like less than a hundred USD per week probably, so it’s not all that uncommon for upper middle class people to have live in nannies/housekeepers etc.

>>15833868
Leaving anything unless it needs to be soaked should be grounds for capital punishment. Leaving something that needs to be soaked for an unnecessary amount of time should also.

>>15833707
i do this, whenever i make bread or pizza i leave all the shit for my mum to clean up

>oh my god everything has to be fair and balanced because everything is such a big deal. It tortures me to cook, it tortures me to clean, I need to make sure everyone else shares the burden equally

Have you tried caring less?

>>15833707
If I'm aware that I'm entering into some kind of unspoken contract that if I eat something someone else cooks I have to clean up for them, than my answer to "Hey do you want some of this food I cooked?" is probably going to be "Hell no." It would only take about a half-hour worth of cleaning before the meal stops being worth my time and I might as well have gotten takeout.

Also, haven't any of you fags ever learned to clean as you go? OP's pic is the wake of a disgustingly undisciplined cook.

>>15833736
"""other person""" who your mom?
kek keep telling yourself that while you die alone.

anyone halfway to competent cleans as they go.

>>15833719
>multitask
not a thing, any cook knows this. Multitasking isn't real you're merely doing each task half assedly and not doing a good job on either.

>>15833832
Yeah bud. If your relationship is constantly about making it even instead of just doing things for each other out of love you're going to be miserable for the rest of your life

>>15833983
Yes, we've already discussed it. "I cook you clean" faggots are lazy as shit and make a mess because they don't have to deal with it. Actual cooks are tidy and organised.

>>15833707
When I hear I cooked you clean, I think of fat deadbeats

>>15833993
>pan is in the oven for 30 minutes
>can't do dishes because that would be multitasking, must watch oven for 30 minutes

>>15834002
>Actual cooks are tidy and organised.
no... chefs have cleaners dishwashers on staff in the kitchen for a reason.

>>15833993
cleaning as you go is a standard, nay, a must when you're working private homes you useless cripple

>>15833707
It will take you like 10 minutes to throw that in the dishwasher. That's like 1/2 a load.

>>15834055
>>15834064
thats different. Washing your dishes after doing something else isn't the same as washing the dishes while cooking

>>15834061
I said cooks, not chefs.

>>15834070
Retard

Intense chud energy coming from this thread. Pairing off responsibility is one of the main benefits of communities and families, not out of laziness but out of efficiency and mutual respect. If you are butthurt about being able to socially broker a reasonable deal like trading a cooked meal for cleaning a few dishes, you're most likely an abused, socially-stunted child who still believes you can do everything yourself and that you don't need anyone else. Everyone is broken in their own ways, but no one is broken in a way they can fix by themselves.

>>15834070
you're a needlessly obtuse dipshit.

>>15834104
not that anon but you are the retard it seems

multitasking is doing two things at the same time
washing the dishes while something bakes is not multitasking, that is doing the dishes while your food cooks.. you aren't manually cooking it over a fire or something, so it's not multi-tasking

>>15834120
>Implying what you're served is ever worth the mess made in the kitchen
Literally every person who has the I cook you clean mentality is an absolute nightmare in the kitchen. They won't bother with any sort of tidying, not even for efficiency reasons because they're lazy and won't have to deal with it at the end.

>>15834160
>literally everyone is x

>>15833707
I will never understand people that don't clean as the cook.

>>15834177
Every single person I've ever met with this mentality fits the bill. That's literally every person I know with that mentality. 100%.

>>15834195
cool, is anecdotal evidence the baseline for scientism now? makes sense, true of many religions

>>15834160
>Literally every person who has the I cook you clean mentality is an absolute nightmare in the kitchen
they cooked. they are the kitchen.
>They won't bother with any sort of tidying,
why should they? they cooked.
>not even for efficiency reasons
what can possibly be made more efficient by taking on cleaning tasks? nothing, this is just extra work and distracts from cooking, leading to inferior results. people who obsess with cleaning while cooking take their eye off the ball and end up making culinary mistakes. seen it happen again and again.
>because they're lazy
nope. they're already doing the labor of cooking, you don't get to call them lazy as a bystander who is not contributing.
> and won't have to deal with it at the end.
why should they? they cooked.

>>15834177

Not really, /x/ is a pretty slow board.

>>15834208
Find me one person who has the I cook you clean rule that doesn't turn the kitchen into a bomb site.

I clean as I go and barely have anything to clean afterwards. I also don't use a lot of bullshit to create even more mess.
>measuring tools
>mixers
>whisks
All bullshit just learn to do measurements by eye and if you must whisk do it with a fork you'll use to eat your dish.

Sometimes my girlfriend will clean stuff because what I'm cooking is more time sensitive and I can't step away but since I do all the cooking I do the cleaning mostly. I'd just let her do it all if she wasn't slow as fuck and sucked at washing dishes. Women do not understand the concept of putting some elbow grease into it.

>>15834225
you want my home address? I'd no joke be happy to cook for you, my family is pretty fun to talk to as well, lots of stories

>>15834225
it's only a "bomb site" to you because you hate having to accept responsibility. yes, someone cooking a meal that you ate creates things to be cleaned. so clean.

>>15834240
Why would I want to eat your basic ass cooking then clean up your shit when I can do it better and more efficient at home?

>>15834248
you asked, I offered, your loss.

>>15834243
I will cook and clean, I don't have a problem with that. The problem is lazy faggots like you who have no regard for the mess you're making and your type are average at best.

>>15834252
Sounds like my gain. Don't have to listen to your gay ass family stories, eat your shit basic bitch food, or clean up your faggit mess.

>>15834257
nah. everyone I've seen in the kitchen who tries to cook and clean ends up compromising both. they rush to clean so they don't properly clean, and they distract themselves from cooking so they don't cook very good meals.
I get it if you're used to living a lonely life by yourself so you have no other choice, but if you have a proper household then everyone happily chips in.
The cook focuses on cooking and creates the best possible dish. the cleaners focus on cleaning and do so properly. that's how it works in most households.

>>15834270
>no uh, table for one actually

>>15834274
Yeah nah my only sibling was a sister so she didn't pitch in with anything.

>makes dish washing all but obsolete

cooking is the fun part.
you cook, you clean.

my gf and roommate will use a fuck load of pots and pans from the back of the cabiniet for each meal, cook them, clean them, then leave them on the dishrack indefinitley /baka

>>15834328
>Melts the cold and heats the hot cold too cold
Thanks for the global warning Obama

>>15833792
i agree with him. some cooks make a huge fucking mess while others dont. i not gonna clean up after a shit-cooks mess
>ie the image in op's post

>>15834120
This lmao. People on /ck/ are a different breed.

>seltzer water

>>15834001
This. Any relationship that has keeping score at its root is destined for failure. If your girlfriend and you really do love each other, she'd be in there with you hanging out while you cook and she'd automatically rinse some stuff off. Also, as others have mentioned, cleaning as you go is a good habit to get into. My initial judgment is that you've got some personal growth and maturity to go through.
