I excel at making a kitchen messy! I was in food service as a cook in the Coast Guard for 20 years. I can understand how an interesting, ever-changing environment with high stakes (50 hungry people at sea) could be free dopamine.
What amazed me then and now makes total sense is how changing one small thing can result in a bombed out kitchen like you describe. At home, we've been fortunate to upgrade to an induction range, and I didn't consider beforehand how problematic near-instant boiling pasta water would be for my routines 😆
I have an old school gas stove in my tiny NYC apartment, so I know when I set water to boil I've got a good ten minutes!! I can imagine that would change the game.
