I'm terrible to be in a kitchen with.

Outside of work at least. At home I’m the worst person to be in a kitchen with. Since I work in a professional kitchen I will complain about everything. Not enough pan & pots, knives too dull, you will work to slow, not heating the oven or pan up while prepping the food, pointing out every inefficiency, not having a large flat top, and your improper knife handling. I don’t do it on purpose, I’m just use to having large prep list and a short time to get it done.

That’s all folks.

That’s a great way to get uninvited from your friends’ houses when there’s a meal involved. I had to stop inviting a close friend to such gatherings because as a professional chef he was critical of everything in the same way. Sometimes it pays to just “turn it off”

I’m not a pro chef but I feel this way when my gf cooks. We have solved this problem by me leaving the kitchen to go play video games while she makes dinner. Or I just cook dinner.

My wife loves to cook. Thank God, because I hate cooking. Cooking is not like engineering or programming - the specific inputs are hard to control and there are too many variables which can lead to unexpected errors and a nasty meal. It doesn’t help that I’m impatient and don’t want to babysit the food as it cooks.

I’m currently training in a pizza kitchen (not professional, but not exactly Dominoe’s - it’s fancy pizza) and there’s not too many complainers. Pretty fast-paced, though, so there’s not much time to complain.
