Try changing the perspective

One of the unavoidable things in becoming and being a full-time househusband is “cooking”.

I was particularly bad at cooking among housework.

One of the reasons I was bad at cooking was that I couldn’t cut the ingredients well with a knife.

When I carefully cut the ingredients to avoid injuring my fingers, it took a lot of time.

The second reason I was bad at it was that using a knife increased the amount of washing up.

When washing the knife, I had to be careful not to get injured, wash it, wipe it… and I also had to wash and wipe the cutting board that I had to use with the knife…

In my case, cooking with a knife was one of the stresses.

I thought about what if I could cook without using a knife, and I tried to think in reverse.

I prepared tools to replace the knife and thought about a menu that I could make without using a knife.

The tools I prepared were “kitchen scissors” and “chopper (manual)”.

I decided to cut meat and vegetables with kitchen scissors and mince them with a chopper.

By changing the menu to simple dishes such as stir-frying and boiling meat and vegetables, I no longer had to use a knife or cutting board.

It may be a heretical way, but by not using a knife, the stress during cooking has been greatly reduced.

In addition, because I was able to shorten the time for cooking and washing up, it was good that I had more time to spend with my family.

My wife was very surprised at first to see my cooking method without using a knife, but now she seems to be completely used to it.

It may have been good that I didn’t have a strong preconception that “cooking uses a knife”.

Even now, I cook without using a knife and serve it to my family.
