For simple, tedious tasks, by all means. Let's sit in a circle around a pot snapping green beans, shucking corn husks, shelling peas/hard-boiled eggs, wrapping dumplings/tomales. Spread the work load, share in the quality time and conversation and contribute to a shared meal. Great.

If you want to get another cutting board and knife and help me peel, chop, and shred to prep some ingredients before the cooking has actually begun, I wouldn't be mad either... provided you can follow simple directions like how big your chopped potatoes should be... and provided you are not a threat to yourself and others with a knife like my wife.

But when I have 3 pots and pans on the stove, two sheets of roasting veggies in the oven that need tossed regularly and I'm trying to keep my eye on everything, time the cooking, prevent burning, etc., or I'm running in and out of the house between the counter, the grill and the sink... Get the hell out of my way. I love my wife, but she is no help in the kitchen.
