looks like its another night of pbj sandwich. again.
Make it so it last 3 days. Not really a big deal.
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 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.
I think you over estimate people’s ability to cook these days.
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
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
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.
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.
Idc just give me big enough sink and Space to unload dishes on and im all good
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.

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 have 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.
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 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
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
