Is there any part of cooking you don't like?

I will have to say chopping, or dicing. Maybe because I just got through the dicing part of making Salsa. Small amounts are OK but when I start with 3 Lbs tomatoes, followed by 3 chili pepper, then a whole onion it seems to get old. Making Pico is worse. 3 Lbs tomatoes, 3 onions, 3 bell peppers then cilantro. Once you get it chopped you're done. You guys have any part you consider drudgery?

I've got carpal tunnel syndrome in both of my wrists but it's worse in my left wrist. So peeling potatoes, apples, etc is very tedious for me. I've got to constantly take breaks and let my wrist rest.

Doing the dishes & clean-up. I wish I had my own robot/genie/witch to take care of the mess when I'm done!

I will have to agree with you there since I just had to use the blender. The stockpot I don't mind but small parts with blades in them I don't like.

Burning my tongue because I was in to much of a hurry to taste.

My hands get stiff so I hate peeling. No one should have to clean up behind me in the kitchen. I make a terrible mess.

Cleaning-up after cooking! Cookie

In commercial kitchens the things I hated most were cleaning the griddle and the stinky greas traps! Oh- and deep-fryers!

At home- I hate cleaning the oven.

Hands down cleaning is a struggle for me to begin with so after hours of prepping and cooking, cleaning is awful!

I love prepping! It's so relaxing!

Another chore I hate is boning poultry. I like to buy my chickens and ducks whole so that I can get the bones and extra skin for rendering, but that means I have to bone the birds when I want pieces.

What a pain in the backside!
