Slightly inspired by another thread…imagine a sort of Sunday lunch scenario…
DH grew up in a house where no saucepan would ever go on the table- everything was decanted into serving dishes.
I grew up in a house where pans regularly went on the table (ie cook peas in a saucepan, drain, put them back in the saucepan and put it on a mat on the table).
I’m in the middle I think- I don’t mind a pan on the table and it’s convenient but I’d only do this with my pretty cast iron pans, not a stainless steel pan. DH meanwhile feels that this is like living in an episode of Shameless 😂 (He is of course welcome to warm serving dishes and do the extra washing up- strangely that hasn’t happened 😂)
Yabu- use a serving dish, you slattern
Yanbu- it’s not Downton Abbey. Totally normal to put a pan on the table.
