Can't be bothered cooking?

Hi, what does this phrase mean:

I can’t be bothered cooking.

Thanks in advance.

Hi FrankU,

I can’t be bothered to do something means I have no interest in doing something/I can’t make the effort to do something. The construction usually takes the infinitive after it rather than the ing form.

In German we would say: “Ich habe keine Lust zu kochen.”
