Women spend 2.5 years cooking

女人一生要花2.5年做飯

Researchers have found that women spend an average of 2.5 years of their adult lives cooking, according to the survey by kitchen appliance manufacturers Breville. The figure has dropped by half in the past 50 years, but men still have it easier, the Daily Mail of London reported. A man on average cooks for 1.4 years of his life. A TV chef said: "As a professional chef I expect to spend the majority of my life working in the kitchen. But 2.5 years in the kitchen during women's lifetimes, especially considering that most women are out at work all day, is a massive amount of time."

據英國《每日郵報》報道，廚具制造商百富利做的一項調查顯示，女人在成年階段平均花兩年半的時間做飯，這一數字在過去50年中已經減少了一半。不過，男人相比較而言更輕松，他們平均的做飯時間只有1.4年。一位電視廚師說，"作為職業廚師，我認為花大部分時間在廚房里工作是可以的。但是女人一生有兩年半都在廚房度過，尤其是大多數人要在外全職工作，這些時間還是太多了。"
