Literally put a can of tomatoes and a bunch of lentils, maybe like 150 grams in a pot, boil for 20 minutes or until it's mushy, then eat it with a spoon from the pot. If it gets to dry, add water, if it's too runny, increase heat. Probably add some salt and spices too, and chopped onions if you wanna get fancy. You can even fry the onions a bit first. Then you can begin adding coconut milk and veggies and even chunks of dead animals when you git gud. And replace the salt with stock/bullion to I don't even care anymore, just posting easy recipes. Cooking is good, and when you have two or three stables, making them is pretty low effort.

crockpots are very good if you are inexperienced at cooking. you can just chop up some vegetables and put them in with a cheap piece of meat and some beef broth or w/e and get a meal out of it a few hours later. is it something you want to depend on instead of getting comfortable with cooking on a stove? nah but it's convenient for making large quantities of food you can eat throughout the week without a ton of effort. if you don't want to use meat then there are plenty of vegetarian recipes too

I like my veggies burnt almost to the point of being inedible. As good as my instant pot is for most other things it simply isn't up to the task.

It's far, far more likely at this point that someone around our age genuinely was just never exposed to it as a kid or young adult and doesn't even know where to start, and people should be encouraged to pursue it and not assume there's any kind of stigma or gatekeeping. I was being snarky but yeah totally agree with this. I didn't really learn how to cook until late 20s.

Just get a simple cookbook like one of the One Pot series, or Three Good Things, or the Flexible Vegetarian. They're just 3 examples of the infinite number of cheap idiot proof cookbooks out there that let you make minimalist recipes that are still delicious and will probably get you laid if you cook them for someone. I know there's free recipes online, but you won't use them, just get the fucken cookbook, read 3 meals you wanna make, and buy your ingredients for the week Real hurthling! posted:get a real pressure cooker that hits a real psi not some computer with a soup compartment.

Oh, beans are lacking 1% of 1 amino acid compared to meat? Burning my veggies to a crisp makes them lose 20% of their nutrients or whatever? Well guess what nerdlinger I like them so much I eat twice as much so I still come out ahead! Punch that into your TI-83 and push your glasses up in shock!!!

You can even fry the onions a bit first. there's so many good, lazy recipies https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F9B2HAeXxBs Get some thick bacon, spicy sausage, pepperoini, whatever savory meat. bok choy, an egg, and any other savory veggie or mushroom. Spicy pepper, ginger, green onion, herbs of choice. Toss them in the rice cooker when there's 20 minutes left. Best if you can keep the yolk from cooking solid, stir everything in right before that happens. The sauce she makes is oyster sauce, dark soy sauce, regular soy sauce, and sesame oil, but you just need soy sauce. Her rice cooker has a 'clay pot' function so the heat stays on even once the rice has absorbed all the water. The perfect timing is the egg is runny but the bottom layer of rice has become crispy in the sauce and oil that's dribbled to the bottom. stir it all together and eat like fried rice. the real version of this dish is made in a clay pot above a really hot flame so if you have a stove safe ceramic you can do it that way, but the first few times you will probably burn the rice and that tastes pretty bad.

The best part about an instantpot is you can throw a bag of unsoaked beans into it and 45 minutes later have perfectly cooked beans. If you can dump garbage into a garbage can, congrats you can dump ingredients into a pot. You're a cook now. I award you all one Michelin star.Epic High Five posted:A slow cooker is a top-tier quality air freshener you get to eat at the end of the day, perfection If you work from home, you will feel like you're starving all day with the delicious smells.

Slow cookers are amazing. I prefer the dumb kind that just have high, low, and warm as settings. Every "higher tech" one I've ever gotten has had problems/short lifespan due to lovely tech.

Chop up potatoes, beets, carrots, pumpkin, whatever root vegetable, stir in a bowl with oil, salt and spices (chilli, caraway, pepper, whatever), spread out on a baking tray, put into oven and turn it to 225C or 350F if you're into that, then wait 30-60 minutes until they're good and brown.

Last night, I dumped some hoisin sauce on a pork loin and threw it in the oven for 35 minutes and it came out perfect and delicious. The only thing I can cook that is lower effort than that is a bowl of cereal.

Stalk too thick? Just halve it lengthwise, that's the part that benefits most of all from a lot of surface area browning up nice in any case. I've personally never adjusted for volume, the whole point of an oven is everything in there is exposed to the same heat. Maybe if you've got a big stew or something with a lot of thermal mass or that may moisten the air up? More likely it's just a cold spot you're adding the new stuff too. If +10 minutes works for you it works.

Carloads of oranges dumped on the ground. The people came for miles to take the fruit, but this could not be. How would they buy oranges at twenty cents a dozen if they could drive out and pick them up? And men with hoses squirt kerosene on the oranges, and they are angry at the crime, angry at the people who have come to take the fruit. A million people hungry, needing the fruit- and kerosene sprayed over the golden mountains. And the smell of rot fills the country. Burn coffee for fuel in the ships. Burn corn to keep warm, it makes a hot fire. Dump potatoes in the rivers and place guards along the banks to keep the hungry people from fishing them out. Slaughter the pigs and bury them, and let the putrescence drip down into the earth.
