man people here really just don’t want cooking to be easy huh?
That s why I meal prep
I live with my mom and brother, I cook and they take turns washing the dishes.
You’re cooking the wrong recipes if its taking 2 hours every time.
It’s always the fucking french fries. Put in a liter of oil and you still have to make an least four batches.
Leaves a hell of a mess, too!
If it’s the pre-cut freezer kind, roast them in the oven with a bit of oil a 170-200c. When they’re done, switch the fan on to crisp them up for a bit. Way less oil, only one sheet pan to clean, and you can cook single batches. Bonus, you don’t have to constantly watch them. Just check on them every 5 min after about 30 min. No oil bath to worry about either.
Downside is you have to wait for oven to heat up.
The more often you cook a specific recipe the quicker you get at it.
