2 hours of cooking for a 10 minute meal sounds like a skill issue.
My last dinner was 12hrs of cooking for a 10min meal. I love slow cooker beef and veggies stew
Yeah that’s like first time making a recipe. Third time around, the kitchen should be doing most of the work for you. You can just casually prep and blend while listening to a podcast.
I’ve seen people complain that loading and emptying the dishwasher takes an hour.
Total time for loading is broken up over quite a few meals for me (usually). It also can take a little time extra if you have to do some extra drying on unloading. That said, it’s probably 20 minutes total AND uses less water AND means that I don’t have to do the majority of the work. I love my dishwasher.
HOW
I get that it can feel that way, but if you actually time it, it’s like 15 minutes.
do you people just cook for a single meal wtf
Kinda like life. The journey is actually the goal
Lucky you! I’ve got a simple solution, only use single use plastic, then all you have to do is just put a big plastic bag over your table and when you’re done eating you just pick up the bag, close it all up and throw it away and that way you just leave the problem to your grandchildren and they’ll die from climate change.
climate change AND microplastics in their food
I also add shredded PFAS to my tomatoes 🤌
- Pretty
- Fucking
- Awesome
- Shit that is poison
You do the cooking with single use plastic too?
Tin foil, tin pans, microwave. Be more creative!
For a more balanced diet you could also use yang pans.
Now your comment makes no sense, bazinga!
As often is the case
Genius!!!
looks like its another night of pbj sandwich. again.
You say that like it’s a bad thing
We recently got an airfryer. it helps cut down prep time and ease of cleaning to the point I don’t get upset about it anymore. Would highly recommend if you haven’t got one already
2 hrs?
Do you spend 6 hrs a day cooking and do not do any clean as you go?
Wtf are you preparing? Are you stuffing a turkey each meal?
just cook bigger portions, i usually make enough food to last half a week
I’ve been eating the same two-pound portion of taco meat for the past four days. Usually in soft-shell tacos, but sometimes in frittatas. The trick is to be dead inside.
This is ideal because the tortilla IS the plate.
You’re not dead inside until you move to hard tacos.
Make less elaborate meals or learn to chop faster.
Listen to podcasts, or watch something during cooking dude.
that’s how my podcast list came to be
That’s why I know I’m never going to be a foodie or even remotely enjoy cooking. I just don’t want to spend all that time only to be done eating so soon. Some dishes just aren’t worth the time invested.
If you enjoy cooking as a hobby, great. But since I don’t, I’m choosing easy to make things whenever possible.
Heck, I don’t even like going to restaurants. The wait is usually far too long compared to the actual meal.
Cooking isn’t just a hobby. It’s a necessary life skill.
Yeah, and part of that skill can be recognizing some meals arent worth it just to enjoy as a hobby. Like I dont fuck with recipes I cant make large batches for leftovers and freeze
Oh absolutely! Meal planning and batch cooking are absolute lifesavers (both nutritionally and for our wallets).
I like cooking but only for other people lol. If it’s just me you know I’m throwing in this week’s seventh Red Baron Classic Crust Pepperoni pizza.
I also kind of hate the foodie thing (probably class resentment), so I like making easy “one pot” type meals that aren’t too fussy on the timing. Like tomato baked beans, dal, tossed chickpeas, etc.
I like that even if I decide to just do the simplest version imaginable. Like lentils with salt and pepper, it’s still going to be delicious and nutritious. Then if I feel like doing a bit more work on it, say adding some more interesting spices, I get to see the benefits of every little bit of extra effort immediately.
But I’ll fukn die before I call myself a foodie rofl.
Slow cooker is fren
Turns beef into beef flavored chicken, I love it.
And that’s why my “necessary life skill” cooking lifehack is to just know that if you cook something big enough, it’ll last you enough portions for two or three days without that much extra cooking work. And you’ll only have to clean the cooking pot half (or one third) of the time.
Thats why Im having waffles tonight
