Who cooks
better, men or women?
Who cooks
better, men or women? We all know that it is such a hilarious question, but lets
take a look on statistics.
As you can
see, women are better in every factor, but every statistics does not take into
account the fact, that only 4% of men are professional cooks. I would
mention 3 facts, why men are better in cooking than women:
Every 3rd man feeling perfectionism while cooking
It does not mean that they are following a recipe step
by step, number by number. I would say, men pay a huge attention to details,
take it as a hobby rather than an obligation.
Men love challenges
This challenging spirit and their ego can never be
brought down at any cost. Men compare the kitchen to sports and the chef to a
coach. One of the main reasons why men are better cooks than women is because
they make it a point to challenge their wife in kitchen. Through the means of a
challenge, the determination makes the food tastier, surprised?
They like to eat and like to take experiments
The way to a
man's heart is through his stomach and the way to a woman's heart is to impress
her.
Taking
experiments, adding unordinary ingredients or mixing not-mixable things can
make man’s dish innovative and perfect. A lot of men live alone and get bored
and tired of takeouts. Cooking their own meal does make them good cooks,
because they always want to try something new. Also experiments usually work
positively, even if it is for the first time.
1. What is your opinion for this kind of
“derbie”?
2. If you had a chance to find a good chief
for your restaurant, who would you choose man or woman? (considering not only
professional cooking skills, but gender, management skills and etc.)
3. Despite the fact women are called the
householders, what do you think about the change of men-women role?

2. Considering the fact that Chef position is reserved for experienced cooks. Their experience is the most important indication of their skills. And if they were able to prove themselves along the way their gender shouldn’t matter.
3. I’m glad that social norms regarding roles imposed by society are more relaxed. And that the people feel more free to do things and manage their relationships the way they want it. That doesn’t mean I think that woman should stop cooking and that it’s now a man’s role.
If I were to hire a chef for my restaurant I would consider only their experience in the industry, cooking skills and how they cooperate in the team.
I think that there will always be things, professions and roles that are considered masculine or feminine because people like to categorize things but it is harmful to consider that these are fixed for one gender. You should do whatever you think suits you best or you like doing the most and don't thing constraint because it's considered "manly" or "girly".
derbie - it's a competition. So in the question above, i asked you what is your opinion about the competition between men and women in cooking? tell me please
I wouldn't consider person's gender as a reason why I should hire him or her. I would rather organize some test for that person to stress her or his cooking abilities and based on results would make my decision on hiring him or her.
It's old sterotype. Today both women and men do the same job related to households.
2. I would never suggest gender when I'm selecting employees, it would never matter, I would look more at skills and experience. Unless we are talking about beautiful waitresses, I'm kidding :P
3.I think this is an old stereotype, which is no longer as important today as it used to be.
makes it better, maybe it's a woman or maybe man, everything depends on the individual approach,
I have seen many good women and men cooks.
As for the restaurant, as I mentioned above it doesn't matter what gender is but who cooks better.
So I would prefer and chose one who is best in it.
As for the change of roles, I have seen a lot of young couples in today's reality, in which men are
gourmet and prepares the dishes themselves.
For some, this is a hobby, and there are women who just love to eat and do it, not because they
seem to do it just because they love it.
It doesn't matter to me if it would be man or woman.
Women are no longer called 'householders'. It a stereotype. We live in wonderful times when anyone can develop professionally.
When it comes to hiring a good chief I’d give this task to someone else because I am simply incompetent.
Because of this, women will face obstacles that are not placed in front of men. Because of this, men can get a job and face the insufferably long hours where a woman has to compromise every step of the way. And of course, because of this, most chefs will be men.
If I had to choose chef for my restaurant I would be rather interested in skills, previous experience or certificates. In my opinion, gender does not a play a role in this case.
As long as it works for both sides, I don’t see a problem in men and women switching their roles
I definitely would choose a man. I'm not sure that man is better for cooking, but I think a man would cook better and has a bigger chance to invent some new, good and tasty food. Again, I didn't mean to abuse women or something like that, just my experience tells me that, plus I've heard that chiefs are mostly men.
When it comes to finding a good chief, I’d simply choose the best person for the job (skill, experience), regardless of their gender.
Women and "householders"? It's a bad stereotype. I think that home responsibilities should be divided into every resident of the house.
I would choose who is the best for this position. It is not important to me whether it will be a woman or a man. I look at the skills and the person, for example, is nice or polite.
It's just women who know how to better manage a home. But there are also men who do it and are just as good at managing. It depends on the person and not on the gender.
Do you mean a rivalry between man and woman in the kitchen? I see all these talented chiefs with global fame and they're all men, but excluding specific individuals, women are the ones who had conquered kitchen worldwide.
2. If you had a chance to find a good chief for your restaurant, who would you choose man or woman? (considering not only professional cooking skills, but gender, management skills and etc.)
I would choose a better chief, obviously. It would be a person with not only better cooking skills, but also management and leadership abilities and I think that gender is the last thing I would take into consideration.
3. Despite the fact women are called the householders, what do you think about the change of men-women role?
In the context of householding? I am not used to see a man who runs his house, but it gets more common from year to year. In my opinion, women pay more attention to the details and that could make them better householders, but on the other hand, men tend to be more technical and it is rare to see a woman in a DIY shop.
I'd didn't give a damn about the gender, skin color or other things when recruiting a chief to my restaurant, but the skills, that would impact their work. It's the only thing needed for me as a boss of the company. And in most cases it will be the result of the test, they would have to pass.
I don't like vision of changing men-women roles. Because I don't like doing chores at all, so I'd like to minimize amount of chores I will be doing in the future. But sometimes it's necessary to do some of them by myself, so I'm the only one, that can make it.
If it comes about next question my opinion is similar. I think that good chef is when someone have passion and talent. We can't say about someone that "she is better because she is a woman" and the same with man.
And the last question... I'm women and i'm totally bad in kitchen. My boyfriend is cooking grate. But he don't know anything about cars when I'm totally obsessed about it.
And it's great! We are different and it's amazing :)
Thats not a big deal, men are generally stronger and taller than womens.
Men’s IQ distributions are more spread out. There are more male geniuses than
female and there are more men with very low IQs than women, Hence those male geniuses
often take all the prizes - including cooking competitions - which leads us to
conclusion that judging by the ability of mastering a skill men are better at cooking, however
there is a chance that there are more women who can cook slighty on average better.
I don't care what gender cooks better if it's tastes great. Even though if two different person made same meal by the receipt it will tastes different. We all are different.
So if person make good meal that we could sell - welcome on board!
One more stereotype - householder. Why women? Because we can handle mop and vacuum? Or because men is too good for that?
Maybe, woman should give up on everything and sit at home, raise a child, cook dinner and be more like a beautiful plant and a man earn money? Seriously, married people can share responsibilities and do it all together without unhealthy addictions.
It's funny, but in my life, cooks the one who has time and energy.
2. If you had a chance to find a good chief for your restaurant, who would you choose man or woman? (considering not only professional cooking skills, but gender, management skills and etc.)
I would took the one who cooks better, and have better team management skills.
3. Despite the fact women are called the householders, what do you think about the change of men-women role?
I think that at 21st century it's a sexism and we should divide responsibilities not on the base of sex.
2. I don't feel answering this question - gender doesnt matter, the person does.
3. I don't think at all, just do what You want to do and don't coplaint or gain profit from your gander.
//I don't know if I cover Your question, but I don't feel like I need to made up my answer just to fill the comment section
I'm a man, so I choose a nice lady cook.
I would find myself as a resource provider if I had a family.
2. There is nothing else that i as a restaurant owner, would be interested in than professional cooking skills of a person being employed. Man or woman it does not matter. You asked your question in such manner to bait out the answer u wanted to hear that is unprofessional in every space. But guess u want a simple answer here it is : i would choose whoever comes first. Filtering out talented people by their gender, race or any other thing non essential for a job is straight up racism.
3. Our society has evolved from this stereotype of a woman staying and caring for home/children and man being the hard working financial pillar, Times change. Even in our country more man every year take "paternity leave" to spend time and be present withing child's first days.
If I have a restaurant I would hire middle-aged man, because for most people (customers) a chief-man associates with top-level cooking.
In my opinion, "keeping house nice" is not someone's duty. Everyone who lives in has to work on it.
I wouldn't make gender a factor when it comes to hiring anyone. It simply doesn't matter and in my opinion - doesn't influence people's cooking skills.
I don't think there is much of a change in this topic. The society is just more tolerant to many matters and we live in times where it is easier to make some things happen. We are finally able to make choices without having to care about gender or social acceptance (not all of them, of course. we are just more free when it comes to many terms.)
"If you had a chance to find a good chief for your restaurant, who would you choose man or woman? (considering not only professional cooking skills, but gender, management skills and etc.)"
Why do you think that there is or can be any difference in management skills or any other skills because of gender?
Someone is good at something or not and this should be main reason while deciding whom you hire and gender has nothing to do with that.
Rather, this is not due to the fact that one sex is better in cooking.In the same way, when it comes to employing an employee, I would evaluate an employee only on his or her skills.
I prefer and I hope that most people nowadays also prefer partnerships with equal division of roles.
In my opinion gender does not change anything. It is all about skills and passion. No matter if you're a man or woman if you have talent and you're hardworking you're welcome in my restaurant.
I think that woman and man are equal so we definitely should not change anything as I believe that there is no such a thing like men or woman role. It all should be natural. Every person likes different things so how they share theirs duties should be individual in every home.
It depends. I have no simple answer for this. There are so many factors that we should consider before deciding this. I would try not to focus on the gender but ask proper questions to both candidates to test if they suit my needs.
Because many things have changed, we don't have wars, problems with food, jobs etc. I think the strict rules we used to have about the "role" in the family for men and women have smudged. We are different, and every relationship has different gaps to fill.
About women stereotype of householders - I also think, that it's gone. I knew some families, where man is also doing most of the "house things" and it's totally normal.
