    I cook every night. I clean as I go. By the time dinner is plated, the pots, pans and utensils are already washed and in the drainer or dishwasher. Everyone clears their own dishes afterwards.

    On weekends, when we have guests over for a BBQ, my wife supports me inside with whatever I may need. Side dish. Dessert. Fixing me another Knob Creek on the rocks. Whatever.

    We work together.

    I've been married 24 years and when we were first married, I cooked 100% of the time because my wife did not know how to cook. She learned to cook from me and over the years has become an awesome cook. With different jobs and roles we switched off who cooked dinner. Now, my wife is home full-time, the kids are in college and I work 60-80 hours a week, so my wife won't let me in the kitchen except on the weekends and BBQ's (although she wants to take over the grill now too!), When I do cook, I am like RoadDog and clean as I go.

    I cook when I'm home most of the time. I do also clean up a bit as I go, but I prefer to not do any clean up afterwards.

    I cook dinner, and my wife and I both cleanup, usually.

    Being single, I'm either going to cook or go out to a restaurant. Since I'm trying to shed weight, I'm cooking more often than not. But I have outsourced the majority of the cleaning up part.

    Since my wife and I are not on the same page as far as our diets go, we usually both cook together. She'll cook the main course, and I usually cook some vegetables for myself because I am very specific about how I cook them. We have two kids, and usually bath time is right after dinner. Usually she does the bath and I do the cleanup.

    My fiancee cooks most of the time (because he's an amazing cook), but when he cooks, I clean. When I cook, he cleans.

    My wife and I like different foods, so she cooks and cleans her stuff, and I cook and clean mine. If she cooks the meal, I clean up.

    I probably average cooking twice a week. The dishes are my responsibility daily regardless who cooks.

    I cook pretty much every meal, I just enjoy it, and have more free time than my wife. She usually cooks a little more on weekends, but I just like to do it more.

    I cook, and bake, but clean only if the kids dont.

    Plus the other male jobs like Grill, Mow, car repair, Weld, Kill spiders, change lightbulbs, install house hold appliances, maintain our home computers and network, use power tools, drive in big cities.

    Hmmm... Im a slave!

    My wife normally cooks, which she does not mind to do.
    Take her less than 30 or 40 minutes to cook dinner, and I love her dishes !

    I like to cook, but do so normally on weekends.

    Cleaning? Everyone, including my kids, pick up the dishes, cleans them.

    I cook close to 100% of the meals and clean up 75% of them.
