Cooking in the Kitchen

In this dialogue, Louise is helping Toby prepare the dinner.
Louise: So, can I help?
Toby: Oh, yes, please. All this cooking is really stressing me out.
Louise: So, what can I do?
Toby: Right, turn on the empty electric hob and heat up that soup.
Louise: OK.Toby: And put the electric kettle on so we can have a cup of tea.
Louise: Right.
Toby: And, put those plates into the dishwasher and turn it on.
Louise: OK.
Toby: And when you’ve done that, you can put those sandwiches into the sandwich maker and turn the coffee maker on. I really need a cup of coffee.
Louise: Me too.
Toby: And when you’ve done that, put the meat into the oven. Then, finish off the guacamole with the hand-held blender. Oh, and put the beans in the microwave and set the timer for three minutes.
Louise: OK.
Toby: And start frying those potatoes in that frying pan over there, and turn on the vent so it doesn’t get too smelly.Louise: Right. Don’t you think we’ve got too many appliances on at the same time?
Toby: No, it’s fine. [Explosion!]
