Coordinate a shared cooking cleanup

Decide who handles food preparation and who handles the remaining cleanup.

Try this

List the cleanup that remains after cooking, including pans, surfaces and food storage.
Ask who can own the complete cleanup or agree on a different split. Do not assume the person who did not cook has accepted every related task.

A worked example

“I’ll cook, and could you handle the pans afterward?”

An invented example to adapt, not a real exchange or a script you have to follow.

Before you leave it here

Include the less visible cleanup tasks rather than assuming they will disappear.

This is a voluntary planning exercise. Keep your notes private, adapt the language, and leave any question unanswered. It does not require Ourling or a purchase.
