The biggest culprit to a dirty kitchen is someone that has never heard the phrase "if you got time to lean, you got time to clean". My wife hates this philosophy, but when I'm done cooking and ready to plate, the kitchen is spotless. It must be witchcraft!
The phrase is used to shame people for taking amy breaks at work, which is why people tend to hate it.
Cleaning as you go (if time is available) does result in a lot less work at the end and more about efficiency than laziness. For meals that create a lot of dishes, having someone else clean as you go is even better than puttibg it all on to cook!
I wish my kitchen was just a little bit bigger lol. My fiance gets mad when I'm all up in her space, kitchen is off limits when she's cooking.
I always refuse all helpers in the kitchen.
Not because of the size, but just fuck no. I don't want to clean up after some "helper" who managed to slice a single cucumber while getting in the way and leaving a chopping board, knife and excess cuttings all over the place because "I don't know where you want the dishes" or whatever. It's no help at all.
My mother in law is especially bad. She doesn't know where things are, how to cook or how to clean, but always insists on "helping".
I'm trying to cook here, not babysit a senior who doesn't accept that her role as provider is over. Go play with the grand kids. That's why we invited you as a guest.
Yeah you gotta do it straight away or very soon after. I try to wash dishes as we go but anything left, if we're watching TV over dinner or whatever, I pause that after we eat and go wash the remaining dishes. Otherwise they aren't going to get done
