Get a dishwasher.

Kinda like life. The journey is actually the goal

[–] KoboldCoterie@pawb.social 93 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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 1 week 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 1 week ago (1 children)

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

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

[–] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 33 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

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

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.

[–] stebo02@sopuli.xyz 31 points 1 week ago

climate change AND microplastics in their food

[–] wunami@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago (5 children)

You do the cooking with single use plastic too?

The term is meal prep

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 24 points 1 week ago (2 children)

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

[–] LadyButterfly@lemmy.world 18 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I live alone and I think this is a great idea

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 10 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (4 children)

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

My demented father cannot even use the bathroom correctly. He will not help me.

What happened to all that Spaghetti-Ohs money?

[–] general_kitten@sopuli.xyz 23 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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

[–] humorlessrepost@lemmy.world 24 points 1 week 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.

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.

[–] bleistift2@sopuli.xyz 10 points 1 week ago

I’m trying to not do that, because I always forget that I’ll need the things I’ve just washed again.

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

Turns beef into beef flavored chicken, I love it.

[–] nednobbins@lemm.ee 13 points 1 week ago (3 children)

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

[–] doingthestuff@lemy.lol 12 points 1 week 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.

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago (2 children)

do you people just cook for a single meal wtf

OK, tell me what in the world you are cooking that takes two hours. And putting something in the oven for an hour is not really any work, is it?

[–] Gullible@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

For real, folks need to watch more Jamie Oliver. Condense your pans and ingredient lists, make sauce for a few days, use parchment paper, etc

You underestimate how bad we can be at cooking. It takes me like an hour just to peal and chop up ingredients for even a simple dish like mashed potatoes or stir fry.

Make less elaborate meals or learn to chop faster.

[–] Smokeydope@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

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

[–] MehBlah@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago (6 children)

Clean as you go and there is very little left to be done after the meal.
