I am one of those cooks that enjoys washing up as I go along when I can. It also leaves a bit less for the other person to wash. Which means they can sort dessert & coffees.

Take away and the dishwasher.

Definitely wash up because ultimately you can't trust anyone else to sufficiently pre-rinse before putting the stuff in the dishwasher.

Washing up isn't my favourite job, but it's a good trade off for having my dinner cooked for me...although himself somehow manages to use every pot, pan and utensil he can find while cooking, and spreads the mess around the entire kitchen

I think he just likes seeing me do housework

I like both, and will happily do both if it gets me out of bloody hoovering.

Washing up, as it's not so much of a disaster if something goes wrong

Both should be 50/50

Nothings more fun that cooking together, eating together, and washing up together

Washing Up? I know the country is in a bad way and all the strikes remind people of the miserable 70’s but do none of you have dishwashers?

You’ll be talking about carpet sweepers and standing up for the national anthem when BBC (not that bbc) 1 ends it’s transmission at 11:30pm

I prefer to cool BTW

I'd probably go with cooking if I had to choose.

Ideally neither

But I'll wash up over cooking any day.

Washing up, I'm a terrible cook in the grand scheme of things, but a decent enough kitchen maid. And on the assumption that the cooking was a joint effort, I'll wash rather than dry and put away too....

I prefer to cook, that’s actually fun for me whereas washing up is the chore but for the sake of harmony I’m happy to do either.

Covent Garden

I cook and wash up. And if there's anything remaining at the end of the evening I will simply load it into the dishwasher.....and then forget to turn it on.

I prefer to cook, but with a dishwasher then I don't mind either

I'd say I was more of a cook if given the choice, but I don't mind cleaning up afterwards either.

I clean up as I’m cooking so there’s little to do after, and I have a cleaner ! but if someone’s offering I’d rather they clean than cook
