I am lazy 95% of the time and during these times only the annoyingly overwhelming genetic aversion towards starvation motivates me to even try to find something vaguely nonlethal to consume, so cooking would seem like it is many orders of magnitude more trouble than it could possibly be worth.
During the other 5% of the time I am stricken with the inexplicable desire to show with enough gadgets even something as ineffable as gourmet food fabrication is not out of my reach, then I am not myself and I actually go out of my way to find something to cook that seem fancy. Like piece of waterfowl marinated in their own grease.
I have to admit that, during those 5% of the time, even those who know me very well for many years find the sight of my going through the motions of cooking so startling that they usually quietly retreat backwards.down the entry and out the front door to check the address again and make sure they didn’t go into someone else’s house by mistake.
