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.
leftovers are the goal
The term is meal prep
do you people just cook for a single meal wtf
If you’re Single yea why not
so you don’t end up like the meme? idk what being single has to do with anything. if you’re spending two hours to cook it better not be for one meal; that’s a huge waste of time.
Slow cooker is fren
Turns beef into beef flavored chicken, I love it.
Make less elaborate meals or learn to chop faster.
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.
Listen to podcasts, or watch something during cooking dude.
that’s how my podcast list came to be
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?
Make it so it last 3 days. Not really a big deal.
I feel like the post is more about the moment of, not the days after. Making several days worth of food doesn’t delay the need to do dishes once you’re done eating tonight’s dinner.
No but having one plate, one reusable box, one fork, one knife and one wine glass to wash is a lot less than all the things I use for cooking.
Knives, spoons, blender, pans, pots, containers, and most annoyingly, the cutting board. Because you want to take care of that nice wooden cuttingboard and make sure it’s clean and dry.
Like they’re going to eat left-overs…
I might get away with white rice that I can make fried rice out of the next day
I think you over estimate people’s ability to cook these days.
Get a dishwasher.
Meal prep, and cooking stuff that doesn’t need much involvement.
I eat 6 meals per day when I’m trying to gain weight, and it can be done with very little time spent cooking.
Boiled chicken and rice with a side of protein shake doesn’t count as food.
I haven’t had the need for that in a long time. I’ve been working out for so long that my maintenance calories are 3700 right now. I can eat whatever I want and still hit my protein goal within my calorie budget
Kinda like life. The journey is actually the goal
looks like its another night of pbj sandwich. again.
You say that like it’s a bad thing
During the pan my relationship with food became standing over the sink and eating quickly prepared meals. Only now that I’m in a relationship are real meals happening again because she loves to cook. She had to persuade me to buy a two-seater kitchen table before we lived together.
