There are very obvious red flags that show up right away and are a clear sign that the relationship isn’t worth developing. But most of the time, the red flags are more subtle and are easier to dismiss as a one-off thing or a not-so-serious character flaw that doesn’t mean anything. Those subtle signs are the most important to catch as they may indicate that the person is hiding something more serious.

People on Reddit discussed what are some red flags that are related to cooking that might mean that the person isn’t the right fit. Many of them not only shared what cooking habits they find alarming, but they also spoke about signs that, from their own experience, were red flags.

Would you add anything to this list? Which habit that people mentioned do you think is a solid sign to rethink the relationship? Let us know in the comments!

“What Is A Cooking-Related Red Flag In A Relationship?” (30 Answers) There was a letter to an advice column years ago, from a woman convinced her mother in law was slightly poisoning her every time they went to her house for dinner.

After every meal she grew violently ill and threw up/had diarrhea.

When she told her husband her suspicion he said she was crazy. His mother was a saint who adored her and would die before hurting her.

The advice columnist urged the wife to swap her plate with her husband’s during the next dinner. The woman wrote back saying she followed the advice and it was her husband who became violently ill after the meal.

When she told him what she’d done she said he looked at her with such loathing she realized he’d suspected what his mom was doing all along but, instead of standing up for her, he decided to gaslight her about her suspicions to avoid upsetting his mom.

Talk about your red flags.

I found the original: Dear Prudence, My mother-in-law hates me and makes no bones about it when she and I are alone. My husband doesn’t believe me, and she even gloats about that. We have to attend family functions at her home about once a month. (It used to be more frequent, but after I put my foot down, my husband agreed that monthly would be sufficient.) The problem is that after each visit, I wind up with a bad case of diarrhea; my husband does not. I don’t know if the other in-laws are affected, because if I asked, it would get back to her. I suspect that my mother-in-law is putting something in my food or drink. Last time, I barely made it home before being struck down. Now I am considering getting some “adult undergarments” to make sure I don’t ruin the car’s upholstery on the ride home from her place. Do you have any other advice? —Running for the Hills

    “What Is A Cooking-Related Red Flag In A Relationship?” (30 Answers) Refusing to regularly take over the responsibility for providing meals.

    God bless him, my late father could *not* cook. He could manage a few basics, would help by fixing sides dishes, but anything more complicated, well.... Nope.

    That said both he and my Mom worked fairly long days at not-easy jobs. Still, Mom was usually the one who was responsible for dinner.

    But there were evenings when Mom walked in the door, dropped her bad, and announced, " I'm not cooking."

    Dad, while hopeless at cooking, was not stupid, and replied with, " Where do you want to go?"

    Yes, we were lucky to be able to eat out regularly. But that aside, that one exchange was a fantastic example of how they stayed married for nearly 40 years.

    It didn't matter that Dad couldn't cook; what mattered was that it was no longer Mom's problem.

    We usually went out to a typical family restaurant. But sometimes it was McDonalds. Sometimes we ordered pizza. Sometimes it was declared an "every man for himself" night, and everybody, including us kids, just fixed ourselves something.

    But the big thing was Dad was always willing to take over for Mom when needed. And *that* was why it worked.

    “What Is A Cooking-Related Red Flag In A Relationship?” (30 Answers) I once decided to cook for a girl I was dating. It was pretty fresh at the time, third time I had seen her. I thought it might be nice to cook, have a wine and chat etc. as you do. While I was cooking she told me to stop talking so much and hurry up because she was hungry in a rude, annoyed tone. That turned me off to the point I didn’t see her again after that night!

    For those who do not know, double clicking tongs activates them, making your tongs perform much more effectively. No need to worry about shutting them off, tongs have an automatic switch after a period of inactivity.

    “What Is A Cooking-Related Red Flag In A Relationship?” (30 Answers) Touching the oven when I'm cooking. Had a friend "fix" the oven while I was reverse searing ribeyes a few years back so they'd cook faster. You know what happens to a ribeye when you leave it in the oven at 375 for an hour?

    She did the same to a rack of ribs on another occasion. Saw that the grill was set to low and thought "That can't be right." Jacked it up to high without telling anybody, and treated us to a nice rack of charcoal chips for dinner.

    This can very much depend. My husband won't eat leftovers because the leftovers he was fed as a child were the result of the cheapest nastiest sh1t that he barely ate it before it became leftovers. Oh, and his leftovers weren't what was left in the dish unserved, they were the scraping back off the plate. So yeah, we don't do leftovers, thanks for your judgment.

    I love to cook. My ex-boyfriend was a really picky eater. So i tried to make things without the ingredients he doesnt like. But several times after i cooked he said "im just gonna order something". I know it sounds like im a bad cook, but thats not the case. I worked in a kitchen for years and my friends all love my food. I still get pissed when i think about the time i just wanted him to tast my soup, just a little spoon. He refused because he was gonna order shoarma and didnt wanna ruin the 'before taste'.

    I get it often because I'm allergic to peppercorns. No I don't sneeze. Yes I could die with a large enough quantity. Sorry you've never heard of someone's throat closing up from pepper but I assure you I'm not lying. Please don't try to test me; small amounts will only give slight breathing issues but I really enjoy breathing normal. It's not cute mocking me or slowly pushing the pepper shaker or grinder slowly towards me.

    Not being the one who's chore it is to clean something doesn't give you license to make more work than necessary for someone else. It's a huge red flag when you and your partner have the alternating "one cooks, other cleans" chore cycle and your partner completely *trashes* the kitchen every time it's their turn to cook. I'm talking leaving out ingredients, spilling and splashing stuff everywhere, dirtying way more cookware than needed, or cooking in a way that leaves burnt on residue so you have to deep clean.


    When I was still married to my ex I always tried to keep things neat when I cooked and he always left a huge mess. Turns out its a big warning sign that they don't value your time or have consideration for your feelings.

    Depends. A young adult, just left the nest, might not have been taught. If willing to learn, great. An adult who can follow recipe instructions but is a meh cook due to lack of interest, as long as honest and appreciative of others cooking, fine. An adult who doesn't know how to cook even the simplest thing and refuses to learn on the other hand...

    “What Is A Cooking-Related Red Flag In A Relationship?” (30 Answers) My ex wife wanted to make meatloaf when we were first married. I was like cool I love meatloaf. So she pulled this meatloaf out of the oven when I got home. It was a slightly charred sad looking meatball floating in grease. She was apologetic about it but I didn't say s**t about it. I have never complained about her cooking anything. I made meatloaf a few weeks later and she loved it and wanted to know what I put in it. I told her and asked her how she makes meatloaf. She said you take some meat and put it in a pan. No egg, salt, pepper, ketchup. Just meat. I was like yep this is going to take some work. Turns out she was overconfident about everything and just winged it.

    “What Is A Cooking-Related Red Flag In A Relationship?” (30 Answers) Washes pans with ice cold water as "hot water hurts my hands". Maybe try warm water and oh great, everything is coated in a thin film of f*****g GREASE.

    Thanks for the feedback, but you're all wrong, warm water is superior to cold.

    Also don't be under the illusion I haven't always been using dish soap.

    “What Is A Cooking-Related Red Flag In A Relationship?” (30 Answers) I’m a professional cook and I’ve had so many guys give me (badly informed) “advice” on stuff I’m doing wrong while I’m in the middle of cooking them a meal. Ex: “you didn’t marinate the steak? It’s gonna turn out super dry”

    On the other hand, professional doesn't mean they know everything, as proven in many field of works, especially when they are using solely that as reasons to refuse advices.

    I use only the best ice, hewn from glaciers breaking away from Antarctica.

    Johnny Come Lately, 1943, James Cagney film. There is a scene with a powerful political man who likes ketchup with everything. Jimmy Cagney's character accepts a cup of coffee, to which he adds a dollop of ketchup.

    I can't eat garlic or onion because I get violently sick. It started three years ago and it's so sad.

    My ex set the stove on fire. Making spaghetti. Our ELECTRIC, FLAMELESS, stove. Don't ask me how it happened. I have no idea. I was just on my phone and she went "Uhh babe." Looked up to see our stove on fire.

    Gonna hazard a guess (based on my experience with a school friend who I swear could burn water). Did they put water in the pan for the spaghetti? You can use spaghetti as a taper to light candles (you end up getting a slight scent of toast), so it's possible the spaghetti is the thing that caught on fire.

    “What Is A Cooking-Related Red Flag In A Relationship?” (30 Answers) When she cooks and then "forgets" to throw away all her packaging and trash and rotting food in the trash can that's 6 feet away from the stove.

    Then she proceeds to try to make YOU out to be the bad guy when you confront her about the scraps of food left on the cutting board that have shriveled up after sitting out to collect flies for a solid 24hrs....

    This is the same chick who **regularly** (I could overlook it if it was just once or twice) leaves her 2 year old son's p****d diapers on the floor in the bathroom for MORE than 24hrs after she gives him a bath and then gets mad at you for bringing it up when you come home from work and thd bathroom smell like p**s diapers and **you** have to throw them away.

    “What Is A Cooking-Related Red Flag In A Relationship?” (30 Answers) I once dated a women who the first (and last) time she ever cooked dinner for me, she put on the pasta before starting the sauce. I watched in horror as pasta boiled for 30ish minutes while she struggled to prep sauce from a jar gussied up with some onion that she chopped without taking the skin off first, and even that involved some flailing to the point where I am amazed she made it into her 30s with all of her fingers.

    It remains one of the worst meals I've ever eaten, and the relationship ended a week or two later, but she was the first 'serious' relationship I was in on the far side of a multi-year relationship ending, and I really needed a win at the time as part of moving on. I wasn't going to tell her how to prepare food in her own (clearly little used) kitchen.

    "Screaming at your girlfriend for putting onions in a luke warm pan", not cool. Someone who refuses to properly pre-heat a pan, pre-heat the oven, wait for the water to boil, etc, and then wonders why their meal didn't turn out the way they wanted, even though you try to tell them every time.... so frustrating! Still not a cool thing to yell about though.
