Who's the better cook, you or your gf/bf?

I don't understand what you're frustrated at.

This

B-but I'm in a competition with m-myself
>it kills me every time when I make a great meal and there's no one to share it with

Me for sure. My wife has to follow recipes to the letter, she has no improvisational skills and doesn't understand when dishes she makes turn out because "I followed the instructions exactly"

I said "our" so he thinks that I was demonstrating codependency instead of just speaking normal english. It's projection because he's lonely

In most of my relationships I've been the more curious and able cook. At the least I've had a broader range and been more interested in trying new techniques. Much of that has to do with my greater experience in the industry; I've worked in three bakeries as well as a middle eastern restaurant and a quick casual cafe where I currently manage.

That doesn't mean that I haven't learned from past partners or my current partner. I learned a lot about Mediterranean cuisines girls I dated from Marseille and Athens. I learned about Tex-Mex from an Austinite who also supported me when I decided to learn how to bbq because she wanted that moist smokey brisket.

On the other hand, I've had a couple of gfs who were useless in the kitchen. One of them could barely boil water and another had a 'specialty' that amounted to caned mushroom soup, some water, rice, frozen broccoli and velveeta tossed in a slow cooker.

I'm a far better cook, she's a far better baker.
It's kinda disappointing desu, since she's a pooinloo and I love food from that part of the world. Also, she can't handle spice. Luckily, she's taken my advice and has started to learn some recipes from her mother.

my BF is an engineer, so naturally he just cooks sustenance and gets back to his work, I cook all the time and come up with some good stuff for us to eat, but he's not picky, so it's fine (i'm more manly anyway, despite being the cook)

Oh boy here we go

Next say I must be a virgin and I'm mad because I can't take my crotchspawn to the bar to show off how bad I am at contraceptives

>tfw never known a woman including the ones in my family who could cook

> tfw no gf

I still remember how bad my ex was at cooking, though. I asked her to thaw out and brown some ground beef with salt pepper once, and when I came home, she had the frozen ground beef in the skillet in simmering water, and said "this way it thaws out and cooks in one step!" Apparently that's how her mom did it growing up. Then she didn't drain the grease. Ugh.

I asked her to brown some un-frozen ground beef once too, and she also filled the pan up with water and essentially boiled it. I was so disgusted but I cooked with the boiled beef anyways.

She would also refer to any recipe where you had to cut up any actual vegetables as "too much work" and insisted that I just cook hamburger helper or "something that's not so fancy"

I'll also never forget the time I sent her to the supermarket with a list before i grilled on July 4th, and had two Filet Mignons on the list. She left the butcher's and texted me "I picked up some ribeyes because they looked a lot bigger than the filets and they're cheaper too"

She arrived with T-bones that were about as thick as my pinky.

She complained that the steaks were too tough when we ate them, too.

I am good but my BF is excellent, could have been a pro chef. Once of the benefits of being a fag is that you do not have to out up with modern female cooking.

Dude what the actual fuck is your problem? I'm not OP, but this is just basic grammar.

Reposted from another thread because fuck it:

My ex told me she's not a very good cook, so I offered to do all the cooking.

Then I realized she's not a good cook because she's kind of a picky eater. She'll TRY anything, and won't complain. But she really only likes pasta without sauce, basic meats without adornment, and vegetables that won't give her gas (bascially, she wouldn't eat anything green). It frustrated the hell out of me because she'd eat anything I prepared and wouldn't say anything about it but I could tell she didn't like anything. Bitch, I want to fix something for you that's delicious AND that you actually like. I can cook the stuff I like for myself.

Before you complain about how she was trying to be considerate of me, just imagine what living with someone like that would be like.

the fuck is in that pot?

looks like raw ground meat on the bottom, canned peas, raisins, onions, paprika and mustard?

My girlfriend couldnt cook a poptart with instructions if her life depended on it.

One time I got back after a weekend of being gone and she had taken my individual burner and cooked raw chicken directly on top of it no pan. Just burnt shit everywhere.

It's empanada mix for salteñas. beef onion raisins peas potato paprika bouillon pepper

I'd say we are about equal but he enjoys cooking more than I do

I'm a better cook than my BF :--)

Me.

By default.

please tell that the white thing on it is cocaine.

Here's an example of how my gf's typical cooking goes, most recent dish she made:
>Bacon wrapped cream-cheese stuffed chicken

>Doesn't season chicken, not even salt and pepper
>cooks whole thing in oven without searing bacon first - bacon comes out with almost raw texture
>somehow incorporates two sticks of butter into the recipe so it comes out a greasy mess
>cream cheese coming out all over the place
>have to pretend to like it because she and I both know she's not good at cooking
>try to help in kitchen but always come off like a condescending dick
>mfw tasting it

Ah well, I do a majority of the cooking anyways so I just gotta keep my mouth shut once or twice a month.

Why don't you give her confidence then? Is cooking meat the only thing you are skilled at?

Christ, are you me?

Both my wife and I work in food, so I'm no slouch in the kitchen by any means but she definitely has me beat. I usually act as her 'sous' (for as much as that means for home cooking) when we're making dinner together.

Can't into computers, though.

Powdered sugar, silly

Being realistic men generally cook better, they are less afraid to deviate from the norm and adopt new ideas.

Have you ever wondered why the worlds best Chefs are men.

Gays don't cook as well as straight men either (maybe the exceptions being for pastries)

But generally, Men DO cook better than women.

Lotta chicks now suck at cooking. I had to eat so many flavorless meals and grin before current gf asked me to cook more often.

>omg how did you make this gumbo from scratch

Literally follow the directions. Closely.

I don't get why "millenials" think it's fucking alchemy.

Me. bf can't cook really beyond average bachelor food like canned chili into fritos or a 'potato chip pie'

I like having someone to cook for. Even when my depression spikes I can still muster the energy to give a fuck about what I'm feeding him

this right here folks you heard it from this guy

UNIMPEACHABLE FACTS

out of my 3 best friends, the worst one is the girl. I love her, but she's fucking awful in the kitchen, hilariously her father is a chef.

The dudes are fucking amazing one just likes fucking around and has the same tastes as me, and the other one has worked in a kitchen a bunch of times

I cook, she bakes. We're both pretty good when we stick to those roles. I can't bake for shit. She's an OK cook, but she's slow and disorganized when it comes to cooking, so for her it's a great deal of effort for just an OK result. Her baking is truly badass, though.

>basic grammar
Being grammatically correct isn't the same as being the only, let alone the optimal way to express a set of circumstances grammatically correctly. Just kill yourself, invertebrate.

My grill fiend has her pros and cons.
Pros:
>good at baking
>okay cook
>always helps with cutting vegetables etc.
>not strictly vegan
>good taste in beer
Cons:
>strictly vegetarian and mostly vegan
>throws garlic in the pan at the same time as onions, every time
>doesn't experiment
>doesn't try new stuff often
>always undersalting stuff
>thinks lentils are starch only and won't eat them with rice

>can't spice
>pooinloo

Your girlfriend must bring much shame to her family

My wife hates cooking and makes pretty much no effort to get good at it. She has a repertoire of about three dishes which are all bland. For meats she only eats chicken breast and she's picky about many other foods.
I love cooking and cook all kinds of Asian and western food. I'm much better at cooking. And yes I wish I was single

>And yes I wish I was single
Why don't you break up with her then?

That was poor grammar. Tighten it up. Brevity is key.

Offer her a glass of home-made elderberry wine laced with arsenic, strychnine, and just a pinch of cyanide.

I think I'm a better cook, but he's the one doing all the cooking, he likes it and so do I.

We're separated but live together because of money and kids

This shit happens. Part of dating a chick is going out to eat with her. At that point you're seeing how well you two do eating together because if the thing gets serious you're going to end up eating together a lot. It's on you to find out whether she's a pain in the ass about food.

When I started dating my wife she thought she didn't like Mexican food, Indian food, okra, fava beans and a bunch of other shit. I told her those were character flaws she'd have to work on if we were going to stay together. Over a decade later Mexican and Indian are two of her fave cuisines.

You just can't let them get away with that shit. Some girls were really babied as children, and they assume whatever man they end up with will indulge their crappy ideas of what they think they don't like. If you don't break them of that shit at the start of the relationship you may end up having to live with it.

Me. It's not her fault, though, and under my tutelage she's getting better.

Nobody in my gf's family can fucking cook. To them, "taco" means "unseasoned ground beef in a cold taco shell from a box." We're talking cabbage-water soup and boiled chicken breasts as staples. They don't use salt or pepper in ANYTHING, and they won't eat what I cook because they think spices are fucking witchcraft or something.

And it's not like they eat like that because they're the fucking Bucket family from Willy Wonka, they're fucking loaded. They're all just cheap and bland.

Otherwise "we" might get mad?

>Who's the better cook, you or your gf/bf?
That depends. She knows a lot of recipes and can execute them perfectly, but can't really improvise worth a damn; I know far fewer recipes but can bullshit things together far better.

I cook for her and she loves it
I'm more of a housewife kind of man and she's the one doing the manual work
She also makes me wear frilly aprons

>boiled chicken breasts

Me. My girlfriend can't cook anything more complicated than a quesadilla, and has no intention to ever learn. I don't know what's going to happen if we have kids :(

>I don't know what's going to happen if we have kids :(
She learns or you do the cooking.

these have been other people ripping on you, not me. That said, you gotta turn down the autism a bit. You're as bad as sjw tumblr cunts with your "pronouns"

I love cooking, but I work longer hours than her, and I'm the one who makes more money. By a lot. If one of us is gonna stay home with the kids, it's not gonna be me, however much I'd love that.

I really don't think I can work 10 hours a day and cook for a family every night. Why don't young women give a shit about learning life skills?

How fucked would the average Veeky Forums browser be if they were transported on the set of Chopped??

>young women
It's young people

> meme bread with more fruit than meme bread

You can't outmeme this guy

fpbp

I'm not a professional chef, they are. So yeah, I'd be destroyed. However take any 3 random people roughly my age and I think I could take them down.

>One time I got back after a weekend of being gone and she had taken my individual burner and cooked raw chicken directly on top of it no pan. Just burnt shit everywhere.

My gf is a shit cook. Sometimes I think she acts the cluts on purpose and burns herself a little to get out of it

My bigger problem would be lack of familiarity with some ingredients and the time limit. I'm a slow cook

what is it with you faggots and always having to add some shitty misogynistic comment with every statement you make?

Faggots are almost uniformly misogynists. This is news?

>shitty misogynistic comment

I want you to die.

What specifically is wrong about the onions and garlic at the same time? I see it all the time in recipes but I never really understood why

I am. She is terrified of undercooking meat, cannot improvise and sadly cant even bake beyond betty crocker cakes and other processed crap.

I've rubbed off on her (giggity) a bit and she can now cook a somewhat decent (usually over salted) stir fry.

The next step would be her knife skills I suppose.

When you're making a tomato sauce, for example. you fry the onions in olive oil first. Then, when they're almost done, you put in the garlic for a minute before adding the tomato/liquid.
Usually, you just want to cook it through without browning it. Browning garlic brings out some intense roasty and bitter flavors, which can be a great thing sometimes. But you don't want it in a tomato sauce.

Go ask your friends at tumblr

thats why you take a pic and post it on Veeky Forums or show off in your familys whatsapp group

My skills involve more technical stuff while hers rely on improvisation( with good results). Regarding baking, whereas I suck at it, she is a great baker.

Normally when she is cooking or I am, the counterpart stays quiet so we avoid arguing at cooking stuff.

Accept it, OP, you're in the wrong here. Learn from your mistake and move on.

this desu
Go on /gaygen/ and there's so much women hate. I wouldn't mind -- quite as much, anyway -- if it was actually the topic of discussion, but they just shove it into every other sentence: "haha sure is fun being gay, no women bitchin at u lol," "only gay cuz women are bitches desu," etc.

I accept nothing. It's not my fault some aspy faggot virgin gets triggered by the fact that other people are happy in relationships and know proper grammar. I'd say kill yourself but you'll be bred out of the gene pool eventually anyway

my wife is a much better cook than I am. I can follow recipes and improvise with some things, but she seems to have a natural talent for cooking, mixing flavors and is always trying to make new things.

I can't believe how many pathetic losers there are posting in this thread.

Imagine having a partner and continuing to visit Veeky Forums. Inexcusable.

>Imagine having a partner and continuing to visit Veeky Forums
To be fair, I did so less frequently, but I still did.

Honestly have yet to meet a woman that can cook more than 3 dishes, which are all pretty average to mediocre

Me, we both love cooking but I am autistic when it comes to improving and improvising
She can draw though, and isn't manically depressed so I think she wins

I'm the better cook. He made sandwiches for dinner every night and frozen pizzas. I sort of blame his mother for spoiling him by making food for him constantly. He has made 2 meals for me in the last 6 months we have been living together and that included dry over cooked eggs for breakfast and a "penne ala vodka" which was over seasoned to the max. I come home after work and make dinner every night. I don't trust him in the kitchen..

>thinks you have to change your habits and behavior when you enter a relationship

you're the pathetic one if you think you have to change to be deemed a worthwhile partner. grow a spine and love yourself

me
>taste and adjust as i cook
>use thermometer
>homemade stocks, sauces, etc
>like everything
her
>faster
>more experience
>often follows recipe exactly; ignores real-time variables
>stock cubes, sauces, etc
>picky eater

who is better?

tfw no bf
>ywn fuck up a delicious potroast just as he gets back from a stressful day at work, cause him to punch you, and later in the evening feel bad and snuggle it all better even thought you are still traumatised and uncomfortable in his embrace but the need for comfort outweighs the fear
JDIMSA

chris?

Me by 1,000 times.

She thinks she is a good cook, but she doesn't listen to any advice. She gets super offended when I try to correct her on something and storms off saying "just make it yourself than".

For instance, when she cuts an onion, she just hacks away at it. I tried to teach her how to mince an onion so that all the pieces are the same size and cook evenly, and she gets pissy.

Last week I was going to make us sausage gravy and biscuits for breakfast. Pretty simple recipe, brown the sausage, add two tablespoons of flour, two cups of milk, and let it thicken. I've made it dozens of times. She said she would make it.

She browns the sausage. Adds 1 cup of flour. 1/2 cup of milk. Decides its too thick. Adds a bit more milk. At this point its not a gravy, its batter with sausage in it. I couldn't contain myself and told her she was doing it wrong, and again she snapped. I sucked it up and ate it, but it tasted like a thick mush of raw flour with some sausage in it.

your girlfriend sounds way too touchy, maybe I could be your gf instead.

>TFW no gft
Me because I'm single

Well my gf and I have our own respective recipes. (We just sort our shortcomings by who makes the most mistakes.)
She cooks a sort of Americanized Irish dishes and mainstream shit like pasta.
I cook a handful of casual Mexican rice dishes and mainstream pasta.
I have better "chopped" results. She'll be like "baaaaaabe, i undercooked the edge." and i be like "...Lets buy burritos."

>Takes a lick at losers. Complains among the only crowd available to hear his or her say.

Me, my girlfriend can't do anything right and even if she existed she probably still couldn't do anything right..

>maybe I could be your gf instead.

be careful what you wish...plus the guy sounds like a douche - how else would he know how his gf made the food? - douche hovered around her like a well, like a douche

why careful?
Also standing in the same kitchen as a couple isn't that weird.

Last time I had one I was a much better cook than my gf.

Are you patrician?
