If you cook, you don't clean. If you clean, you don't cook. Tell them to take their pick.
Cleaning while you cook ๐คฏ
I like to clean up the kitchen/dishes during downtime. Like when the dough needs to rise for an hour is a perfect opportunity to clean up. Plus it gives you space for the next step in the baking process.
I do this and my wife doesnt. When it takes me an hour to clean after she cooks and 20 minutes after i cook, she seems confused.
Not only am i cleaning everything, she used 3 mixing bowls that you could have just rinsed and used 1, and you left all the spices and ingredients on the counter so i have to put all that away too. Filled the sink with unrinsed dishes and poured filthy water on them to let it sit, so all that hand clean stuff needs extra attention. Spilled and burnt shit all over the stove, etc.
Ive cleaned in restaurants where the cooks werent as messy lol
Living alone, I find this to be a fast way to a messy sink.
There's one mandatory exception to this: the cook should always be the default responsible person to clean pans & pots. Everyone who disagrees has never been on a camp with a bunch of kids who are just learning how to prepare food.
