At some point I learned to clean as I cook, washing each item immediately as I'm done with the step that uses it. If you can get in the habit, it's so much easier. Never a huge stack to clean and nothing sits there getting stuck on the pot/plate/whatever. Dishes are done before sitting down to eat and there's only a couple when you're done eating.

You don't need any more than 2 cooking vessels be that a pot and pan or 2 pots. If you use more stop it! Also do the bloody dishes I ain't your mother! How can 1 person use 4 plates and 12 forks before dinner in 1 day!?! How!

I have been asking my wife this for 3 years now. She still hasn't been able to give a satisfactory answer.

Hey fuck you. "BECAUSE!!!!!" is a perfectly satisfactory answer

Maybe for you, but I'm the one who does the dishes, if every plate and half the cups are dirty in a single day when I've been at work, then I'd like to know how 2 meals used 6 plates and a dozen cups.

My roommate uses every dish in the house daily. Idk how, it's ridiculous

Yeah, but the food was 🔥!

[–] sag@lemm.ee 7 points 2 years ago

Can confirm. My Dad is literally a unspoken chef.

[–] SuiXi3D@kbin.social 6 points 2 years ago

This is my wife. She can make some amazing meals, but never seems to be able to clean as she cooks.

Me after every Hello Fresh meal

Hello Mess!

What really baffles me is how people that have dishwashers manage to do this. Like, use bowl/whisk/cutting board/whatever > put in dishwasher. That way, all you have to do is wash your knives while everything else cooks.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

What, and bend down?

[–] HurlingDurling@lemm.ee 5 points 2 years ago

That's me after just making toast with scrambled eggs

[–] Etterra@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Shit that's my fiancee when she makes spaghetti. She's a professional chef. I have no idea how that makes sense.

[–] Blackout@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

The disappointment on his face is the same as mine after too.

[–] GrammatonCleric@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Any meal worth eating is cooked like this 🤤

[–] kinther@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

This is absolutely me.

[–] Flyberius@hexbear.net 1 points 2 years ago

This is my gf in the Kitchen. Well, this is her in any room in the flat. Somewhat frustrating because she sure as shit didn't treat the flat she lived in with her mates like that...

[–] AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee 0 points 2 years ago

If that's how your kitchen ends up after cooking, I think you need to learn how to clean as you cook. That, or just stay outta my way.
