Maybe the devs want to avoid burned meals. In TS2 sims generally do other things while cooking is in progress, and sometimes wind up with burned food if they get too involved with that alternate activity. Still, I wholly agree with the OP.
That should be up to us to remember. There could also be a 'timer' item that automatically beeps to let you know that the food is ready. The washer beeps. A notification could pop up, too.
I'd love to burn my food if I leave it there too long. I just hate how in the mornings while I'm trying to get everyone ready they waste so much time waiting. And no, I don't always want stuff prepared beforehand. I just want multitasking.
