It's very easy to get this quest too early and fail it. As soon as Paulie gets to associate, this will pop up, and that usually doesn't take too long. You have 1 week from the beginning of the quest to finish both parts (waiting to finish the first part to get an extension on the second doesn't work). If you've only researched the first 5 data disc research, the Civil Furnace, then there's a very good chance that you won't get the Cooking Set in time to finish it, even if you speed up the research to the maximum.

So big recommendation: Don't accept this quest until you have the Cooking Set, or know that it's already being researched.
