I was getting a kick out of the responses he was getting as to which cookware to buy. So, now I have to ask:

Who does most of the cooking in your household?

In our house, I did most all of the cooking for the first 10 years. After our kids came along, the wife learned to cook so she does most of the cooking now.

My significant other never has learned to cook. When I am gone, he survives on fast food, frozen pizzas and take out. He'll help when I cook, and can make a fabulous pie crust dough (I roll it out and make the filling), and does good on the grill. He just doesn't do well with seasonings.

I've known many guys who are good cooks, though...Just not mine. ;)
 
I was kinda heading towards 50/50. Though I do most of the cooking, my husband will do a lot when he's on vacation. But majority of the time, it's me.

For our own safety and health, I do all the cooking. Jaime is no longer allowed to touch sharp objects unless under direct supervision. If I wasn't the cook we'd be having tomato soup with crackers and melted cheese every night.

I actually enjoy cooking so I'm only half joking. Our arrangement works well. I cook and she cleans up after.

For the record I use Calphalon Comtemporary but since its Teflon I kept out of the other thread :D

I can cook, but since I'm the only one working at the moment, the Missus cooks 5 dinners out of 7 a week. The other two are restaurant dining.
 
I voted the guy. Partly because he's a chef and he enjoys it. However, that is if you base that answer off of who cooks the meals you eat together. He works from about...12pm -11pm, so I eat dinner by myself (in which case, I "cook", ie microwavable ziti and frozen vegetables :p ), but whenever he is home, and we don't go out, he will cook.
 
We both cook. I tend to cook the fancy, big production dinners, while my wife does the day to day cooking. We both like to cook and we tend to take turns.

Please.
You've heard about the guy that couldn't boil water?
My husband couldn't even find the pot.

And it's hanging on a pot rack right over the stove.

It's actually the only complaint I have about him. I don't mind cooking most of the time, but wonder how the responsibility of it all just landed on me without a contract or negotiations of any sort. Presto change-o and it's my problem?
I always tell him that I would love nothing more than to come home from work, plop my %#& down in a chair, and have a meal shoved under my nose.
Must be nice.
 
Well since I work 7p-7a hubby and I are probably at 50/50, he cooks 3 to 4 nights a week depending on how my schedule pans out.............nothing fancy but the house doesn't starve.............sometimes I make really big meals 2 days in a row if the rest of the week is going to be hectic, nothing in the world like leftovers :D
