@fiesty76 I thank you sincerely for your suggestions. Timers don't work. Raw shrimp needs no more than 3 minutes, a timeframe he cannot compute. We always eat rubber tires. Too late to tell him I like things "raw" when we have been together over 30 years. He believes that if 10 is good, 15 is even better. All pizza and lasagna has burnt edges. Scrambled eggs become crumbs. He doesn't like to "attend" to his cooking. He likes "set it and forget it". The only thing he does not overcook is steaks. The juice is always bloody. If we lived in another time I would hire a cook and a maid!
