You forgot the 40+ hours of work a week just to afford the ingridients.

You forgot breathing in and out 24/7 to stay alive to get to your soul-sucking job.

My solution is just to act like I'm cooking for 12 people, and have leftovers for the rest of the week.

[–] LadyButterfly@lemmy.world 26 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Yep I batch cook too, I make 4 portions then eat 2 and freeze 2. Eating over 2 days obvs

[–] GargleBlaster@lemmy.world 41 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Yup, I'm doing the same. Cooking 4 portions, then eating them all while crying

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

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

[–] LordKitsuna@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago

My last dinner was 12hrs of cooking for a 10min meal. I love slow cooker beef and veggies stew

The term is meal prep

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 11 points 4 days ago (1 children)

do you people just cook for a single meal wtf

[–] orochi02@feddit.org 4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

If you’re Single yea why not

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

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.

[–] general_kitten@sopuli.xyz 22 points 4 days ago (1 children)

just cook bigger portions, i usually make enough food to last half a week

[–] humorlessrepost@lemmy.world 24 points 4 days ago (3 children)

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.

The one who cooks shouldn't be the one to clean unless, of course, you live alone.

[–] LadyButterfly@lemmy.world 17 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I live alone and I think this is a great idea

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 10 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (4 children)

Hmm... Maybe after dinner, take a walk and ask random strangers to do your dishes. 😆

I've seen people complain that loading and emptying the dishwasher takes an hour.

Turns beef into beef flavored chicken, I love it.

Make less elaborate meals or learn to chop faster.

[–] Matriks404@lemmy.world 7 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Listen to podcasts, or watch something during cooking dude.

I wash as I cook. Usually you have moments when you're waiting anyway. Means I have serving dishes only afterwards.

Had to make it a habit though in order to force myself to do it. Took years to train the habit.

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

[–] Smoogs@lemmy.world 6 points 4 days ago

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?

[–] jenesaisquoi@feddit.org 2 points 3 days ago

Get a dishwasher.

[–] doingthestuff@lemy.lol 13 points 5 days ago

Weekly meal prep. Yeah it means repeated meals, but you can switch it up every week. It's the only way I get by. Plus I feed 5-6 people. So I'm not making one meal at a time, I'm making twenty or thirty.

How old is this woman, and where does her hairline start? Is she in her 30s or 60s? Is her hair blonde or white?
