Why are men considered to be better chefs than women?  

well i can say women and men are equal.there are also women chefs that are cook really good and smorgasbord of taste.have you watch lifestyle channel.chefs there are women.they do well organized and very good in inventing new dishes.well men is also good chefs.

It is true all over good hotel and restaurants, men are mainly seen as chefs. i won't say women are not fit for job, but they do not come in large number in this profession. May be they are not very comfortable in working in kitchen.

Hi suchi60, I agree, men in general are better chefs. I mean it's pretty obvious if you look around on every restaurant you dine in. Men usually take the spot of being the head chef or something. A bit ironic, since usually women are the ones often tagged to be the master in the kitchen. But if course, I'm saying this in general.
Usually women don't hate the kitchen, I guess it's because traditionally, the task in the kitchen was often assigned to women and taking care of the family. But whose the better chef, well to be honest, I really don't know. It's hard to tell. All I know is that a lot of chefs are men. But that is not enough proof to state that men are better cooks than women.
