You don't need any more than 2 cooking vessels be that a pot and pan or 2 pots. If you use more stop it! Also do the bloody dishes I ain't your mother! How can 1 person use 4 plates and 12 forks before dinner in 1 day!?! How!

I have been asking my wife this for 3 years now. She still hasn't been able to give a satisfactory answer.

Hey fuck you. "BECAUSE!!!!!" is a perfectly satisfactory answer

Maybe for you, but I'm the one who does the dishes, if every plate and half the cups are dirty in a single day when I've been at work, then I'd like to know how 2 meals used 6 plates and a dozen cups.

What are you on about? Just the other night I had a pan for roasting seeds, a pot for building a sauce, a pan for cooking protein and another pot for cooking my starch. And that's just a Tuesday meal. If I made a dedicated effort to be minimal with vessels, I'd still have to wait for them to cool for cleaning. Also, to all the clean while you cook advocates on here, that's easier to do with a known preparation. When you've Just downloaded a new recipe and you have no idea what you are doing, your often don't have the bandwidth to leave the project and start cleaning.

Protein and starch together could even put them in a roasting dish instead, and a sauce pot.

I dunno abouts seeds? What seeds are you roasting and how was this incorperated into the meal?

Im one guy so my food is simple one pot meals usually or two pot meals if I get fancy.

Then maybe read the recipe before you start.

Just have a photographic memory!!! It's easy!

Bruh recipes take on average like a few minutes to read through. No one's asking anyone to memorize anything, just read maybe two or three hundred words before starting to cook so you have an idea of what you're doing

As someone with ADHD, using too many dishes is pretty standard.

My roommate uses every dish in the house daily. Idk how, it's ridiculous
