Why don’t more women use a BBQ to cook.? Or is it just that way in my small sphere of life experiences, in which males dominate that space?
I'm not sure but I ain't letting my ol' boy near the bbq carbon isn't nutritious.
It's a man's job to be handed everything he needs already prepared so he can burn it to within an inch of charcoal and proclaim that he has cooked dinner for the family. But jokes aside, I use our baby weber q more than he does. I don't do a bbq as such but I'll use it for a roast, pizza, bread or even as a substitute oven on days like today so I don't heat up the whole house.
My mum barbeques more than my dad does, because she cooks more. My dad will only bbq to help out in bbqs, but my mum uses it more generally.
Men like to think that it's some sort of special craft while women silently think "I can do that on my stove" but are happy to let someone else stand there to cook. Anyone.
Women do use bbqs, we just manage it without an audience. And without expecting gushing praise for cooking a simple meal.
because I use the grill indoors
Honestly indoors makes the whole thing easier lol. Not a M/F thing it's just quicker and more controlled.
