There was one brief mention about it being difficult to use in a loud kitchen. From the way they framed it, I think they might be coming from some sort of commercial kitchen background?
> A kitchen also tends to be a noisy place, with multiple conversations and background music. If Siri doesn’t understand what you’ve said, you’re going to end up with burnt onions.
Doesn't apply to my own home cooking situation, but if you're a professional of some sort...
Tell me you don't have annoying little kids, without telling me.
I can personally attest that in any room, Siri's accuracy, and even willingness to activate reliably at all, is utterly abysmal, especially on the Watch. Raise to speak? Just tried it 4 times. It activated and answered once. The other three, it just ignored me.
I'm grateful that I never have to use anything Siri-based for cooking, since I use the Google Nest Hub thing (the one with a screen), which though also imperfect in its speech parsing, at least most of the time is capable to execute "Set a 5 minute onion timer" accurately. Though he makes a good point that if you wander around a big house you might miss your timer alert. Thankfully my house isn't big enough for that.

Siri is a privacy nightmare and everyone sane turns it off immediately.
