🍳Cooking Emoji
🍳 is the cooking emoji, U+1F373, one of 34 in the Cooked / Prepared set. It arrived with Unicode 6.0 (2010) and is commonly used for breakfast, easy and egg.
What 🍳 cooking means
The everyday meal set: 🍕, 🍔, 🌮 and 🍟 turn up in plans, cravings and restaurant reviews with their literal meaning intact. 🍿 has drifted furthest, now meaning you are watching an argument unfold rather than a film, and 🧂 doubles as calling someone bitter. Google's 2017 burger emoji put the cheese underneath the patty, drew enough complaints to become news, and was redesigned.
Unicode tags this one breakfast, easy and egg and files it under Food & Drink → Cooked / Prepared.
