You’re forgetting “where is that pan, no that one, the other one”, “which oil to use, not that one”, “gotta watch that pan for three minutes so it doesn’t burn and I don’t forget”, “now i have a pan, a plate and a stove to clean” vs. “i’mma do some other shit until i hear the microwave go bing” and “rinse plate”.
I feel like that’s largely a habit thing. I never cook using the microwave, I would have to spend a lot of time looking up shit to cook something decent. But I cook meals from scratch most days and I know exactly which ingredients to use, where things are, and how to cook a dish quickly and effeciently.
I often cook while I listen to podcasts, which strangely enough helps me focus on the mechanical tasks since I am not distracted - or rather, only distracted by the podcast. That works well for the dishes I know by heart, but if it’s something new where i need to check a recipe I have to force myself to concentrate as well :)

Good luck however you feel like feeding yourself!
Three minutes! The horror!
Not the point.
That’s the duration for only one of the listed sub-tasks
Shit man, the video games aren’t going to play themselves.
