2 hours of cooking for a 10 minute meal sounds like a skill issue.
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.
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.

Idc just give me big enough sink and Space to unload dishes on and im all good
I’ve seen people complain that loading and emptying the dishwasher takes an hour.
HOW
I get that it can feel that way, but if you actually time it, it’s like 15 minutes.
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 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.
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.
im a fast eater
do you people just cook for a single meal wtf
If you’re Single yea why not
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
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

leftovers are the goal
The term is meal prep
