Within the context of the original post: if what you’re cooking leaves a huge mess and this is a significant enough problem to complain on the internet about it there was a failure of preparation at several points.
Some things involve multiple utentils and dishes at the end of the process and there is no amount of preparation that avoids needing to clean multiple things at the end. Like making a cake will have the same amount of dishes when you put it in the oven, more if you do additional prep in small bowls ahead of time.
They are really just complaining about the amount of things to clean and the mess that some stuff makes as part of the process.
