I do 95% of the cooking because she doesn’t know how to do shite and doesn’t respect the food.

I’m like - where was this when I was a kid? It’s like she got into it once I moved out and got into cooking myself.

Cooking at home is overrated.

Why can’t men cook?

I’m a disrespectful prick for sure. But that’s not why she doesn’t cook. She doesn’t cook because she is lazy about it and will happily eat something significantly worse to save 5% of the total time invested.

I do 99% of the regular cooking, but my wife bakes and has a few holiday/party staples.

I have no idea about other women. But my wife had dinner on the table when I go home today and she’s the only one that matters to me.

From millennials - forward they don't know how to cook.

Reality hits when prediabetes diagnoses start happening. The percentages for Americans are terrible. Eating out, eating prepped foods that taste greater than they need to, all sorts of good things come to a screeching
halt when Diabetes 2 is in your future if you don't start changing what and when and how you eat.
I'm a woman, Friends call me a gourmet cook, and I'm relearning how and what to cook.
My reality is going to hit a lot of other women and men and cooking will be their only alternatives.

Definitely - most of the relationships in my social circle consist of the husbands doing the cooking these days. Mid 30s

Wild that they manage to frick up plain rice, and also eggs.
Two of the most basic food items that there is, but making it is somehow eludes them. Time after time.
So you either forced to do all the cooking ... or eat some key component of a meal that is afu.

My wife will cook, but I’m better at it so I do most of the cooking.

That woman could make a meal

Simple AF, but it's satisfying to kids and not overpowering. You can drop the carrots, add more potatoes, etc. Different than Indian curries. Golden Curry brand, medium hot. Bring your reading glasses, the instructions are tiny.
I noted that college girls were intimidated or largely incapable of the simplest of cooking (LA Tech) even in the early 90s; this held true in Baton Rouge in the 2000s, and onward. You can probably blame the 60-70s women's lib backlash their moms were influenced by, piled on top of the absolute trash that most homemakers were encouraged to cook during that period (ETA: in my opinion).
Some of this is likely now driven by IG food pictures on what is considered "good" food (which is largely a female phenomenon.) When you take pictures of a $60 entree that's all complicated, why would you think you could make good stuff at home? In reality, great stuff can be simply made (like home made pressure cooker chicken stock, which is a game changer for anything you use it in,) but it's not "almost Michelin star" expectations like people addicted to social media believe.
I do nearly all the cooking. Do simple things really well as a start. Men spend too much time on TD finding the 72nd different way they should smoke something, and women spend too much time watching cooking shows that make shite with 17 ingredients per dish. That's understandably unattainable, so they tend to opt out.

I cook a lot and largely from scratch. I love everything about it—the prep, the process, and the result. I enjoy trying new things and challenging myself. I do WFH after almost 20 years as a SAHM, so I have usually had the time. I was grocery shopping and cooking for my family by the time I was 16.
My Gen Z daughter loves cooking as well and her repertoire is growing fast. She will likely always cook. She LOVES to go out though.
Only a few of my friends cook much at all.

If she can't scramble eggs without browning them, I really hope she has other abilities other than swiping your debit card. My 11 year old can make her own eggs, but it's a foundational cooking lesson. You must control heat very carefully, or it's all over. Like breaking an au poivre cream sauce for steak.
Maybe have her watch some "No Reservations" so she can start to grok what in cooking is important and what isn't. My grandparents were from IN, and I remember my uncle "sneaking" pepper into my grandmother's mashed potatoes and being so proud about it. "I want it to taste like something," he said. I think I was eight when that happened, and I still remember it.

That’s not cooking. That’s making simple foods that a retard can make.
