As someone who loves cooking but doesn’t have a dishwasher: it is the cleanup afterwards that kills me. Especially if I don’t do it immediately.
With certain things, you can clean as you go, but sometimes I need to tend to something and I end up fucking it up because I’m running around the kitchen trying to wash out the pan I just used while something else is burning.
It seems like you would probably prefer baking as it is a much more exact science.
