It’s not about the cooking, it’s the f*ck ton of dishwashing left.
Best weight loss method, laziness.
This is exactly why I only buy ingredients, either I’m hungry enough to make the food or I’m not actually that hungry.
I do this and I’m still kinda fat, but my meals are pretty epic
I bet you feel way better than you would if your diet was full of processed food though.
Oh yeah I feel great. Better than when I was a skinny kid living off ramen and kraft dinner.
So I guess that’s something!
LPT.
I have a five litre pot. Every once in a while, I’ll make a full pot full of chili/stew/soup, and then freeze it in pint containers. That way I always have something I can throw into the microwave. Another variation is cook a chicken on Sunday, then cut it up and put it in containers. You’ve got a week’s worth of chick to nibble on all week.
generally at the least i try to cook for me, tomorrow me and if possible me a week or two from now
The guy I learned about this from had five or six ‘all week’ recipes; meals he could make on Sunday and enjoy all week.
You’re allowed to type fuck on the internet you know
I immediately assume they are from tiktok when i see that shit
Pro tip: stir fry your leftovers with onions and whatever seasoning you like. Takes about five minutes since you only need to wait for the chopped onions to fry
There are no leftovers if everything still needs to be cooked
If you can’t extrapolate the useful information with the implied shift in context then don’t worry about it
Pretty conceited way of saying your original comment was irrelevant to post’s issue
This entire chain is a massive headache. It’s not irrelevant the meme is about food. I had a useful thing for some people about food. If you don’t find it useful then don’t worry about it. It’s not that big a deal or that big a leap in the conversation. Why do people care so much about literalism here
Ramen is also a good vehicle, depending on the leftovers.
Patte, 14 år, har ramen som fordon. ”Overkligt!”
My apologies but I know not your strange Elven language.
Hush, my dear child. We must not speak of the fae.
You can also crack a fresh egg into the bowl before you pour your ramen in. The outside will cook from the excess heat and leave all the nice insides gooey
Is there a ramen community on here yet?
Yo just a cooking community would be nice, there’s gotta be one of those at least.
I think food porn is here

I was thinking more like EatCheapAndHealthy. Maybe I could make it but I have no idea where to start and zero interest in modding.
I’ll have to try it that way. I usually crack a couple of eggs in the pot while cooking. Holds the broth and makes it more filling.
Ya that’s nice too. Kinda depends on how you like ur eggs
My partner does this. I’m more of a soft boiled or crispy egg person, myself. Depending if I’m having ramen with the broth or drained.
I have an Asian background and my family pretty much never used the dishwasher even if the apartment we rented had one. Then like 5 years after living on my own I started using the one at my apartment and holy sht is it easy to use and good at cleaning. It also apparently saves water (although you use electricity so not sure if it all balances out). Not everyone has a dishwasher but if you have access to one, they are amazing. Just only use powder dish detergent.
Going from a lifetime of doing dishes by hand, fighting with siblings and partners over it, forgetting to do them until 2000h; to being able to put them in a machine, is a huge shift. Like having a totally 100% tidy kitchen with no stray dishes on the counter is suddenly a possibility.
fun fact, if you go 36 hours without eating, sometimes the hunger pangs just … stop
Yeah well duh, everyone’s experienced that, right?
Right?
…
i mean
if you’ve had a depressive episode last long enough that you went to bed because you’re just so tired even though sleep won’t fix it and then you just lie there drifting in and out until you find enough willpower to check what time it is and it’s actually mid-evening next day yeah
or if you’ve been busy and so distracted all day that you forgot to eat and then were so tired by the time you could finally sleep that you wake up and realize the last time you ate was lunch the day before yesterday
these things DO happen to some people, but not necessarily everyone. maybe not you, but certainly to people you’ve known.
I’ve had both of those things happen to me, (Depression and Anxiety is a powerful combination) I was trying to make a joke about thinking that everyone experiences it but then realizing that most people don’t experience it
i’m sorry that i misinterpreted your reply and want to assure you that you definitely aren’t alone D:
i’m sorry that i misinterpreted your reply
that’s fine
Thats why I meal prep. Aka go to mcdonalds down the street and order one of everything
As someone who loves cooking but despises dishwashing, I can relate to this.
Try microwaving some potatoes. They’re a pretty regular snack for me since it’s some of the lowest effort “cooking” you can do.
Same for sweet potatoes. Quick, tasty, cheap
Get an air fryer and some frozen chicken tenders, nuggets, etc. Lean, high protein, crispy, and you only need to clean one wire rack afterwards.
Before anyone does this: Check your oven.
Some modern convection ovens have a sperate heating element in front of the fan in the back or fan(s) behind the heating elements in general, which means it works the same as an air fryer.
Yes, convection ovens work pretty well. I have one too, not as crispy compared to the fryer but it’s still good. Just more of a mess though, plus preheat time etc, air fryer is more convenient.
If I buy ingredients for food, I just end up with a lot of spoiled ingredients. I just go buy food when I am hungry. If I buy ingredients to make stuff, I get them right before I am to cook them. Most of time, I get premade things (like sandwiches, soups, etc).
