Eh. The grill puts out stupid amounts of heat, I kind of hate it. Just got back from the frozen biome and going to see if two wheezes will cool that SOB down.

Another way to manage your dupe time on farming/cooking is to limit access to your farm/cook area. 

So for your kitchen you could use a day timer to automate a power shut off. Then just set it to 50% of the time and suddenly your cook cooks half as often. 

 

Farming is a little trickier, you'd have to use a dupe access or a lock a door. Both of which could trap a dupe in there. 

Honestly, if you want to limit the amount of food you're putting out, I think the timer/power shut off on the grill would be the best option. 

It requires very little effort to impliment and it's a lot easier to directly control than just trying to get them to do other jobs and managing priorities and ugh, just ugh. Timer + shut off = Easiest solution.
