Bengaluru Woman Details Costs and Convenience of Hiring Monthly Cook
A Bengaluru resident shared insights on hiring cooks, revealing that for two people, cooks typically charge Rs 7,000 to Rs 8,000 monthly, visiting twice daily and taking Sundays off. Meals are often prepared quickly using pressure cookers, resulting in average taste unless specific instructions are given. Despite this, many continue the arrangement to avoid daily meal planning and cooking stress, valuing convenience over food quality. Some note that home-cooked meals may be healthier than restaurant deliveries despite the cost.
