also like, what the fuck kinda cooking are these people doing????

when i cook i use like.. 3 pots and pans at most? frying pan, saucepan, and big pot for boiling pasta/potatoes/whatever

takes like 1 minute to handwash holy shit, and if you have a washing machine it's even more a complete non-issue

Making something super basic like waffles or crepes is still gunna be a couple Bowls, measuring cups, utensils and a pan, as well as a bong, downstem and bowl.. Add eggs and bacon make it 2 pans. 8-10 items to wash without plates and utensils to eat with.

Now let's do steak with compound butter, potatoes, and a salad.

Cutting board, skillet, spatula, plate to salt & dehydrate steak. Cup to melt butter, garlic press. Pot for potatoes for mashing, pot for gravy if not using skillet. Spoon for tasting. Salad board, knife and spoons and Bowl to mix salad. 10-15 items and im not even high enough to be hungy enough to eat something this heavy.

One word:

Scale

Sorry but no.
Even separating dry and wet ingredients sometimes make a mess.

Sorry but skill issue

You literally can use just one spoon to scoop and weigh things. Of course just dumping the ingredients in is going to make a mess, just like how just dumping them into a measuring cup is going to make a mess.

You literally can reproduce the exact flavor of a dish using a scale, you can't do that with rough measuring tools.

so just get some waffle mix if that's an issue for you? Also, baking is not a fair example, because that's fucking baking and everyone knows it's basically home chemistry.

we're just talking about cooking some sort of food, which to me is at its most basic starch, protein, sauce, and ideally some vegetables, which takes 2-3 pans, a spatula, something to stir the sauce with, and probably a strainer for the starch, and of course a plate and utensils. You can cook food without measuring things.

Which all in all takes minutes to wash up.
