    Not much difference before or after.I do MOST of the cooking mainly because I enjoy it. :) I do grill/cook a lot more things with the Egg than I did with the WebKet.

    I recall my hubby made a potato salad once - forgot to drain the potatoes. Not a stellar success. Hasn't tried anything since. But strangely watches cooking shows - I guess it's true what they say 'the demographic watching food TV these days does so, not to learn how to cook, but to be entertained'.

    He can feed himself - but he doesn't cook!

    I do 95% of the cooking while Vicki opens-up boxes the other 5%- usually when I'm traveling for work. :laugh:

    I probably do 80-90% of the cooking, but it's more due to schedules. I have flex time at work and tend to get up early, so most days I'm home by 3:30 at the latest. Wife doesn't get home till after 6 depending on what store she has to go to.

    Pre-Egg I had never even fried an egg in a kitchen. I had managed to destroy food on a gas grill, though. Now, people actually ask me to cook for them. My whole world has changed....

    Snake,

    Even BBQ'd tofu tastes good on the Egg. :ohmy:

    Tried it once - back to good ole meat, for me, though! :laugh:

    I've always cooked nearly all of our meals. My wife's mother worked alone in the kitchen, and as such, my wife did not grow up cooking, has basically zero experience, and doesn't have much interest in learning. I think there are two main causes for that: her parents' kitchen is quite small, and simply doesn't have the counter space for more than one person to work, and secondly, her father is from the hotel industry, where everything happens behind the scenes, and guests only see the end result.

    In my family, we congregate in the kitchen, and cook together. Nearly every house we lived in while I grew up was big enough for more than one person to cook, and a couple had island-counters, with stools, so everyone had a spot. We also have a lot more global tastes than my in-laws, since my family lived overseas before I was born. Cooking was a big part of my life growing up. I hope to pass the same passion along to my daughter.

    While the wife is an excellent cook and pastry chef-- she ran her own catering company as well-- I do the vast majority of cooking at our home. She calls it my culinary therapy. I am in IT and I really enjoy getting away from the fans and lights and geek stuff. Nothing better than preparing a meal and enjoying a relaxing evening.

    My husband cooked pre egg. We are both cooks, he has his specialties and I have mine. He does more of the outdoor cooking and I do more of the indoor since I bake, can and preserve along with regular meal cooking.
