It's not about the cooking, it's the f*ck ton of dishwashing left.

Best weight loss method, laziness.

[-] Sharkwellington@lemmy.one 12 points 1 year ago

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

[-] Sharkwellington@lemmy.one 5 points 1 year ago

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!

[-] bug@lemmy.one 23 points 1 year ago

You're allowed to type fuck on the internet you know

[-] TheObserver@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 1 year ago

I immediately assume they are from tiktok when i see that shit

[-] Dagwood222@lemm.ee 23 points 1 year ago

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

[-] Dagwood222@lemm.ee 9 points 1 year ago

The guy I learned about this from had five or six 'all week' recipes; meals he could make on Sunday and enjoy all week.

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

[-] migratory_bird@lemmy.sdf.org 33 points 1 year ago

There are no leftovers if everything still needs to be cooked

[-] tdawg@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

If you can't extrapolate the useful information with the implied shift in context then don't worry about it

[-] migratory_bird@lemmy.sdf.org 11 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Pretty conceited way of saying your original comment was irrelevant to post's issue

[-] tdawg@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

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

[-] Hyggyldy@sffa.community 5 points 1 year ago

Ramen is also a good vehicle, depending on the leftovers.

[-] dojan@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Patte, 14 år, har ramen som fordon. ”Overkligt!”

[-] Hyggyldy@sffa.community 10 points 1 year ago

My apologies but I know not your strange Elven language.

[-] dojan@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Hush, my dear child. We must not speak of the fae.

[-] tdawg@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

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

[-] Enigma@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago

Is there a ramen community on here yet?

[-] Sharkwellington@lemmy.one 2 points 1 year ago

Yo just a cooking community would be nice, there's gotta be one of those at least.

[-] Enigma@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

I think food porn is here

[-] Enigma@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago
[-] Sharkwellington@lemmy.one 1 points 1 year ago

I was thinking more like EatCheapAndHealthy. Maybe I could make it but I have no idea where to start and zero interest in modding.

[-] Hyggyldy@sffa.community 4 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] tdawg@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] Draegur@lemm.ee 10 points 1 year ago

fun fact, if you go 36 hours without eating, sometimes the hunger pangs just ... stop

[-] moosetwin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 year ago

Yeah well duh, everyone's experienced that, right?

Right?

[-] Draegur@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

...

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.

[-] moosetwin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 year ago

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

[-] Draegur@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

i'm sorry that i misinterpreted your reply and want to assure you that you definitely aren't alone D:

[-] moosetwin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 year ago

i’m sorry that i misinterpreted your reply

that's fine

[-] PatFussy@lemm.ee 10 points 1 year ago

Thats why I meal prep. Aka go to mcdonalds down the street and order one of everything

[-] name_NULL111653@pawb.social 9 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] raltoid@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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.

[-] name_NULL111653@pawb.social 1 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] ParadoxPandox@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

As someone who loves cooking but despises dishwashing, I can relate to this.

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 8 points 1 year ago

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).

[-] agoseris@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago

Try microwaving some potatoes. They're a pretty regular snack for me since it's some of the lowest effort "cooking" you can do.

[-] BarrelAgedBoredom@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago

Same for sweet potatoes. Quick, tasty, cheap
