How and when to use it

If you're posting something about cooking - a lip-smacking recipe, a visually mesmerizing food image, or even a dish you created/prepared, you can use 👨‍🍳 in the captions.
If you're passing on a legendary recipe to your buddies or even relatives, and the person to invent this dish was a man in your family, you can add a note with the recipe and slide in the 👨‍🍳 emoji too.
You can also use 👨‍🍳 while telling your best buddy that you've finally met the man of your dreams (unless you're not particular that he cooks).
If you're baking/cooking something and sending the progression it to your friends or fam, add the 👨‍🍳 emoji into those text messages.
If you've recently started going to cooking classes and joined a course, use 👨‍🍳 while telling someone about it, or even in captions for social media.
If you finally bagged that much-awaited tag of being a head chef or you got a promotion in your culinary career, then you can use 👨‍🍳 while talking about it.
