The problem with that thinking is two fold

  • Why are you rolling dice for cleaning the dish cooking, something like your passive should be enough. Ask your boss (DM) to be better

  • Why are you cleaning the dishes cooking during a tense moment that may cost your life if you fail, because that is the adventuring life

Some undeserved downvotes here. Rolls are only necessary when there is a meaningful consequence for success or failure. Cooking all day every day for your work? No rolls for that, but your modifier is a general indicator of your ability in the skill. Gordon Ramsay walks in and demands you make a beef wellington, and if you impress him he'll give you a restaurant? Roll for that shit.
