Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Who does the cooking at your house?

My wife does nearly 100% and would not have it any other way. When the smoker is needed I set it up, but she operates it. Same for the grill.

Once in a great while when we are camping I will grill the food, but that is typically when she is occupied with something else.

I do all the cooking, by choice and practicality.

During the week I get home from work earlier than she does- so I have dinner ready for her and the kids by the time she’s home with the kids. However on the weekend, it’s a little different… I cook because I like my food newer than burnt and food poisoning.


While in NOLA, we took a cooking course, and the instructor stated that cooking is preparing food, and therefore peeling a banana is “cooking”. She stands by that.

My wife will get by with a bowl of cereal for dinner because she doesn't like to cook.

So if I want anything to eat, I'm on my own.

I'd like to do more. Do most on the weekend, a bit during the week. Wife does a lot during the week, we usually have a taco night and an Italian night with squash noodles or something similar.

I do the cooking. I live with 17 and 20 year old boys and my girlfriend. I don't want to eat anything they could possibly produce on the stove.

Evenly split I reckon for inside cooking, dictated by who happens to get around to it. Both pretty good at it.

I do all the outside grilling and smoking.

Same here.

I cook, she cleans.

Life would be pure hell for both of us if it was the other way around……!

About 50/50 here though she does 90% of the grilling.

I do 90% of the cooking she does all the baking and dessert making ,I eat what I want that way...

Hanco: Thank goodness the VarmintWife is such a wonderful traditional "homestyle" cook - and she LOVES to do it.
Her "pot roast dinners" always come out perfect - and we eat "leftovers" for several days afterwards.
The VarmintWifes "rhubarb/custard" pies are known throughout the county and always requested.
She also does a wonderful job on carrot cake, pineapple upside down cake and apple pie.
I can ONLY cook two things I am proud of = old fashioned beef stew (my mother taught me the secrets to this!) and venison "sheepherder style".
Like the Jewish American Princesses another thing I am good at making is "reservations"!

I do the cooking here......gotta pretty dam smart dog but she cant cook. ....she does an awesome job of standing guard when the grill starts pumping smoke.

My wife does most of the cooking but I do some, I would say 80/20

I do most of it when I am home. My wife is a decent cook though

Me.

Ditto...

About 70% me. Wife can cook pretty good but she still works.

Somebody's got to work to pay the inflated prices nowadays.
