The Hardest Part About Cooking...

That part used to take me the longest - all the prep work - cutting stuff seemed to take eons! Now, after all these years, I think I've gotten more efficient. The eating part is always the quickest .

The hardest part for me is cleaning up the mess after my relatives and myself cook meals.

I don't cook like I used to, but when I did, I would clean as I went. I would also buy pre-cut things when I could.

Till now !! I still don't know why I don't like cooking... 1 min I would be preparing and within a sec ... I am like naaaah!! now now

I am totally on the same page with you!! I find it excruciating to clean the mess and also prepping is the hardest one! Cooking is fun ya!

Definitely cleaning up the mess. When you're the one who prepared the meal, cooked it, and then you still have to clean everything up yourself - that's what I find the most exhausting.

Prepping a meal takes so much time! That is my least favorite part of cooking usually, because I am always in a hurry--hubby's blood sugar dropping or just on the way somewhere, etc. I don't mind the cleanup, or actual cooking. I enjoy cooking. Now, if no other responsibilities and I had all day to prep and prepare meals with nothing else to do, except eat them (I'd we way overweight for sure!!), that would be okay.

I hate the dishwashing.

Doing all the dishes afterward. I love to cook homemade meals.

Sometimes it's deciding what to cook

I agree with you. Cleaning the mess isn't easy.

I'd have to say the cleanup. To me the process of cooking and what makes it enjoyable is the process of prep and cooking it, and of course eating the result.

I enjoy cooking and chopping things is my favourite part. For me, the hardest part is cleaning after cooking and maintaining a always clean kitchen. I have OCD for cleanliness and I can not overlook it even for a day. Now with age, I sometimes loose my patience with preparations that take long time.
