/ck/ - Food & Cooking

>>12898353
imagine being this upset about something so trivial

>>12898364
well this is a food board and there's no appeal to cooking one day and still eating it 6 days later. people deserve fresh food. people deserve a variety of foods. think of what kind of animals get fed the same slop every day. oof

Retard

Imagine eating reheated eggs

>>12898635
agreed, reheated eggs or potatoes are the worst. they have some kind of metallic weirdness to them after the reheating. No thanks.

Most people who meal prep fall into two categories, fitness people or busy people.

Fitness people literally do not care about much except that the meal fits their macros and is somewhat palatable- leading to meals like broccoli/chicken/rice for 7 days straight. Eating delicious meals fresh everyday is not a priority for these people, as their interests lie beyond that.

The busy people, whoever, typically have better meal preps and 2-3 different types of meals for the week. Can include things like pasta, salmon and rice, chili, etc that they'll make on sunday and then rotate throughout the week. Since these people usually have busy schedules combined with social lives, its hard to cook and pack a healthy lunch everyday. While they would like to eat delicious and fresh meals every day, they simply don't care enough to put the time/effort in and compromise with meal prepping. Usually just a lunch thing, and then going out to eat on the weekends.

Then you have the /ck/ poster, who is on a board specifically for people who prioritize the taste/quality of food, and naturally has a disdain for meal prepping. This makes sense, but its also stupid to think that every single other person in the world cares as much about having homemade chicken stock or fresh bread as you do. Everyone has their own interests. Half the people here are larpers and fast food posters anyway, which is why these threads keep showing up.

>>12898635
I eat your mom's eggs every day

>>12898575
Cope, the post

>>12898717
>Then you have the /ck/ poster, who is on a board specifically for people who prioritize the taste/quality of food

Haha, funny joke anon

>>12898717
please stop posting

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

>>12898717
I'm in the fitness category but typically only go about 3 days out. Just today made up some almond/coconut cups, egg/cheese everything bagels (no bread), and coconut shrimp on cauliflower rice fried with red onions. God damn cooking is so fucking rewarding.

>>12898717
/thread

you know who else meal preps? actual working kitchens, chefs don't make the food from scratch on the line

you can prep your food to the point where it takes minimal work to finish it, without just reheating it in the microwave

What’s wrong with meal Prep
It feels like a rations thing to me, or survival thing like Rimworld

>>12898353
food on the last day probably tastes like shit

>"ew, meal prepping = slop"
>eats processed garbage and fast food every day

Some foods are good for meal prepping, like chili or stews.

I can't think of anything more depressing than being a wage cuck who considers basic sustenance to be a fucking chore that you eat the same reheated shit 7 days in a row.

>>12898717
theres also laziness / being poor
I am somewhat busy but could cook something fresh every day but im too lazy to do it and too cheap to buy small amounts of meat etc when bulk is better value so I box it up and eat it over a few days

>>12899160
>bagels (no bread)
the fuck
what is it then

>>12898717
>Then you have the /ck/ poster, who is on a board specifically for people who prioritize the taste/quality of food
uh

I don't see why people are afraid to eat the same thing every day considering that the average American eats the same foods every day.

>>12898353
If you eat out ever, you have no place to stand to shit on meal prep.

>>12898717
Can you justify being a busy person if you can't afford to buy lunch everyday without breaking the budget?

The food I like I could eat every day for 100 years without getting bored of it. I'm an animal no different than a cat, and shame on people for being so far up their ass they think they're different. Novelty is just a means for the greedy to exploit you.

>>12898717
I cook something on sunday that I eat leftover on tuesday and thursday and cook something else on monday that I eat again on wednesday. on friday and saturday I get takeout or eat some frozen crap.

Back in the 90s when you could buy mcdonalds hamburgers for 0.29 i would get 50 at a time food for a week. Best eating in my hot young life!

>fuck up pressure cooking the chicken
>five pounds of overdone meat
I made some of it into soup, but the damage is done. That was a miserable week.

>>12900790
If you eat out for lunch everyday you’ll gain a ton of weight
But Imagine paying a premium amount for food that’s healthy
Just make something tasty and healthy at home and take it into work

>>12898717

>>12898353
>I can't cook well enough to make meal prep decent with a noticeable verity to the meals every day

>>12899807
the 2 are unrelated.
meal prep is just gross after day 2, have some self respect

>>12898717
Alternatively you could just plan out some simple meals instead of being a retard and thinking every meal has to be super complicated and win a million upboats on plebbit.

>>12898353
>meal prep means making microwave tv dinners
I prep all sorts of things that allow me to QUICKLY assemble a variety of fresh dishes you fucking pleb
it's all about pre-processing at home

Tbh I tried meal prepping and im ok with 3 day year old carbs or vegetable but anytime any dairy or any protein is involved their is a funk that makes it inedible. I only eat meat made a day ago anything after that I can taste the gameyness

>>12902625
I meant 3 day old. Also I meal prep cause poor student and attempting fit. I can cook just fine by 4 day old chicken breast is disgusting

>>12898353
>live alone
>cook in bulk so I don't have to cook every day
>eat the same thing for a week or more at a time, every meal

I can tell you it makes my poop very sick. Worst was spaghetti with tomato sauce for a month. Just don't. This is in comparison with Texas chili for a week and a half and tacos for a month. Do not do spaghetti man..

>>12898353
A few days ago my sister put together a "meal prep" included a bunch of salad. To last 4 days. Lol. that shit is already wilted.

>>12902637

This is next level autism anon maybe you shouldn't be living by yourself

It's good that OP has so much free time every day to prepare freshly cooked meals three times a day! I suppose if I didn't have to work and earn my own living instead of suckling on mom's tit until my late 20's, I would also have that free time to have the same opinion as OP.

Sadly, I do have to pay my own rent and bills and make my own food plans and that usually does include meal prepping. I don't really have a set schedule or strict daily plan. I just make large quantities of things and put them in containers so that I have a choice to make when I prepare to leave in the morning.

I'll make a big pot of spaghetti and some mashed potatoes and pork chops, and some chicken thighs and salads and make lots of other smaller containers of fruit, pickles and condiments and shit and every day I figure out what sounds good for lunch and put it in my bag.

It's not routine. It changes up every week. There's no burn out from eating chicken breasts and broccoli every damn day.

If OP is against meal prep, then it's probably because he's not done it properly or been exposed to more creative ideas and thinking. You should give it another try, OP. Your imagination is your only limitation here.

>>12902671
I may have ordered out for lunch a couple times at work but basically yes. Made gallons of tomato sauce, filled a shelf of my freezer with it. Also was the cheapest month I ever had.
Oh, and I also drink around 20 light beers a day except sundays which I stay sober for.
>>12902806
It's not really autism. More just barbarism I think, it's not like I enjoyed it.
I'm in a better place these days usually mixing in 2 to 3 quick things in and I enjoy grilling so that helps in the summer to get some variety

what an excuse making faggot, look at this pathetic loser.
>i have to cook 3 times a day
you dont know how to cook if it takes you more than one total hour of cook time per day. get fucked cooklet millennial pussy, im sure meal prep is quite the rage at your local podshare

Only got 2 hours a day to cook beween school and work. I eat leftovers for 2 days during the week. Extended if I get fast food or something. I also only eat once a day.

>>12903096
Haha great trigger larp.

once on leddit meal prep I saw some dude make like 70 burritos. he ate them 3 times a day until they were fucking gone, same contents in every single one

>>12903101
2 hours is more than enough to cook a decent meal

>>12903181
I assume he means that is his "free time" outside of school and work so he does not want to spend it all or the majority of it cooking.

>>12898374

Meal prep for the week sure then just make something different the next week. It's not that hard if you have even a modicum of ability and creativity.

Also, your concerns are invalidated by the simple use of large tall mason jars, or Pyrex type containers for your food (which are also more secure if you're carrying your food to work in a bag while biking or walking).

I usually bring two medium jars, one for second breakfast and one for lunch. Second breakfast is usually either cottage cheese and fruit or a light salad with goat cheese and fruit depending on whether I lifted that morning or not and need extra protein. Lunch is usually some sort of slow cooked meat from crockpot over rice with vegetables and some of the leftover broth or sauce I cooked the meat in. First breakfast I make fresh each day at home, dinner I make on Sundays for the work week and then make fresh on the weekends. It's very easy to have a lot of variety, quality, and nutrition this way.

>>12903511
sorry the gas station doesnt take chainlink faggot

>>12903096

I'm willing to be educated. Walk me through, minute by minute, how you would make three good tasting meals that don't repeat too frequently with just an hour of prep time per day.

And to the posters saying that it's pathetic to have to think about your time, I suggest two possibilities; either be conscientious with your time and be a poor wagey and use that extra time to work your way out of your status, or understand that to get to and maintain a higher status requires a sacrifice of time. Literally the only reason to not want to minimize your time spent prepping food is if you're low class and ok with that.

>>12903527
0/10, try again

>>12903533
Not the guy you're replying to, but it's not that hard if you know your way around a kitchen and shop accordingly. Here's a pretty standard day for me:

Breakfast: Veggie and fruit smoothie, 5 minutes. Greens, carrot, tomato, avocado, 1-2 fruits, 1 serving of berries, eat with a couple of spoonfuls of nut butter. Could also be oatmeal (anything but steel cut is >10 minutes), grain-based cereal, toast and fruit, whatever.
Lunch: Quick soup with packaged udon, frozen shrimp (optional), peas, green onion, egg, and prepared broth/stock: 10 minutes tops. Could also be a sandwich, a wrap, a reheat of yesterday's dinner, etc.
Dinner: Grilled chicken, mashed potatoes, gravy, and a side vegetable: 30 minutes including prep + cook. Could be hamburger patties with a mushroom gravy, could be a pilaf, could be another soup or instapot stew, etc. SO many options.

>>12903533
chicken fajita, 20 minutes to cook. start peppers, then cook bird. do garnishes inbetween
meatloaf, make it flat and you can cook it in 30 min, make sides while cooking.
i mean its not hard anon. stop being a pussy and throw shit together without spening 2 hours looking it up.

>>12902631
think its just poultry/fish that gets like that, things like beef or lamb seem to be okay for a bit longer
I agree chicken tastes awful after refrigerating / reheating

Imagine having a life so miserable you consider a freshly cooked meal a luxury

>>12902972
>20 beers a day

Good goy!

So what do you meal-prep hating fags do for lunch, assuming you are bringing a lunch to eat at work?
Cook it in the morning right before work?
Cook it daily the night before?
Only bring simpler meals like sandwiches or packaged stuff?

>>12903918
Have the company chef cook me a meal. Perks of being an educated businessman :^)

1. Seasoned ground beef with rice
2. Seasoned chicken potatoes
3. Seasoned pork with ramen

Thats actully 9 options if you swap them around. Cheap and microwavable cooked in bulk

Do any of you people im this thread own a refrigerator? Thats how you keep food fresh you inbred living white warts.

>>12905082
>Imagine all this fighting over leftovers lol

Where I come from, fighting for leftovers could mean life of death.

>>12905462
its not fighting over leftovers, its physical disgust at the idea of eating the same microwaved slop every single day.
its the amount of cope from faggots who think they are saving time and money by making one giant meal then dividing it up to eat. these people dont care about food, they dont care about taste, they are true enemies of food. end of story.

it helped loose over 50 pounds in less than two months
i was only prepping for one day in advance

>>12906103
lol why are you so mad over this.

Are you super autistic against any leftovers in general or just this?

>>12906211
hes probably one of the tards who come here to talk about what fast food and/or alcohol they bought today and shitpost

>>12906211
leftovers in general are foul.
your obvious exceptions are shit like lasagna, pizza, take out, chili etc, or if you want to take some of last nights dinner into work the next day thats ok too.
whats not ok is spending half a day or more cooking one big meal to divvy up for the week. its really going against everything that people should strive for which is a varied diet of fresh ingredients.
Mealprepping is memetic faggotry perpetuated by mindless redditshitbags who are so fucking delusional they actually think its beneficial in some fucked up way, even though its:
>increasing the amount of bacterial growth
>increasing the chance of sickness
>decreased taste
>disgusting food textures
>no practice actually cooking
>depressing
>microwaved shit

just learn to shop and cook and stop trying to rationalize how better your life is because you eat like a fucking autistic child every day of your life. if you want an example of mealprep coping 101 see >>12902822

>>12903401
the wagie doesn't need you.
can you say the same?

The best way to meat prep is to always cook two portions. Eat one portion and freeze the other, just for future convenience, just when you don't feel like cooking.
That way, in no time, you will have a week's worth of varied meals to eat.

>>12898717
based, fuck OP

>>12906272
this is how I "meal prep." And it's with stuff that won't turn into wet garbage when reheated--tomato sauces and such are good.

>I'm so busy I've got no time!
>but also have no money to eat out
Must suck living like that

I made a bunch of burritos in little baggies a few times, froze them and ate them for a while and they were good. but pretty much no

>>12902637
I once had a roommate that cooked himself nothing but mix of spaghetti and pan fried minced meat.

I'll walk you through all my food-related activities from this Monday:

>breakfast
Omelette with diced peppers, onions, and cheese - 10 minutes
>dinner prep
Throw a venison shoulder in the crock pot with spices, lime juice, and stock - about 10 minutes if I'm being generous. Set it to low for 8 hours, go to work.
>lunch
A turkey sandwich with a peach and some nuts - about 5 minutes to assemble and pack
>dinner
Shred venison, sauté onions and peppers, grate some cheese, assemble tacos - 20 minutes tops.
>total
45 minutes of work, and I have venison left over to make burritos, quesadillas, etc for the rest of the week, cutting down subsequent food-related work for the following days while still allowing some variety in meals.

>>12898374
You freeze like half of it, retard.

Yes, because you don't need "break the bank" to see that spending >$2000 a year on fast food is silly. If you think it's worth it to spend that much on bad food, you probably can't think more than a few hours into the future

>>12906682
>and I have venison left over to make burritos, quesadillas, etc for the rest of the week, cutting down subsequent food-related work for the following days while still allowing some variety in meals.

really people like you (reddit know it all faggots) are the cancer that is killing everything. go fuck yourself.
youve never prepped shit in your fucking life. how many restaurants are fucking prepping vegetables 5 days in advance? not one. most pull dates on cut vegetables are 24 hours dipshit. and thats for a good reason once the food is cut it begins to die immediately. you can pull a few days from some shit by storing them in water, but thats about it. its obvious you dont know a fucking thing or you wouldnt be defending meal prep.
now go fuck yourself asswipe

>>12906247
This is all true. I don't like the soyposter, but the fact of the matter is, meal prepping is disgusting and depressing.

There's a few exceptions, like if you work in a remote area in construction/whatever where fresher meals aren't available, are a complete poorfag, have restrictive allergies, or are super focused on fitness, but that's generally not your normal prepper.

If you sit in a job where you work 9-5 or whatever, and you sit at your desk to do more work while eating 3-5 day old food, you're a fucking disaster. And yeah, sure, I get it, you're "saving so much money," but you're also ignoring any of the pleasures of life while sitting under flourescent lightbulbs and watching your life dwindle away.

Then again, I rarely eat lunch and get the fuck out of the office whenever humanly possible.

Is there a way to reheat food without it being dry and tasting bad? Restaurants have their food prepped and just reheat it when it's needed. I know I don't have restaurant equipment, but is there any other way to get a decent result?

>>12906944
Having leftovers isn't meal prep you fat dork, unless you're about to insist every time I don't pound a whole loaf of bread or chug a whole pot of soup in one go I've "meal prepped" for the week. But if it makes you happier, you could still repeat the same 10-minute crock pot routine every morning with a different recipe and fall within the allotted time frame, so your point is moot anyway.

>>12908520
You meal prep single meals? That seems like more effort than it’s worth. It’s cheaper to eat canned food anyway.

Compared to what? the $1000 and 20 minutes you'd spend if you make it yourself?
Remember busy people value time by definition.
Also they tend to work a lot and therefore not be poor. At 80k a year the math is 1.25% of wage to save you 4% of a work day (1.38% of whole day) which is not bad value.
Not to mention spending more than that, getting better food than you can make your self and considering it part of the money you spend on quality of life.

>>12908169
Don't use the microwave, I started food prepping a few weeks ago for weight loss. Make sure you start with fresh ingredients, cook them just below what you would want them finished as. Seal them up quick and get them cold asap. Than when you are ready to eat get a nice hot pan with a bit of oil/butter and fry it up like you would fresh food. Except it only takes a few minutes, if it's dry throw in a bit of water or chicken/beef/fish broth/stock. This works so well and you don't get any of that terrible microwave texture.

>>12908757
Thanks man

>>12908757
wow this is your leader prepfags, look to him and his sage advice

Meal prep is great for some people, not so much for others. It's all about your lifestyle and available time. The same goes for the type of food.

I've got some chronic illness stuff going on, so cooking isn't always something i can do. having some curry or chili or other easily heated food frozen ahead of time is a godsend.
Of course fresh is going to be better, but pre-prepped food keeps me from either going hungry or eating trash fast food.

>>12903141
wow how could he eat something he likes, the fucking nerve wtf
and I don't believe he meal prepped for 23 days in advance, I doubt burritos would even last that long in the fridge, let alone the space it would require.

unfortunately not everyone was born into a wealthy well off family.

>>12898430
Dilate

>>12907091
but it literally is, it's fuel for you body to keep doing what it needs to do. I'm not sure why you equate that with people eating shit food though, the quality of the food is not something left out of this equation.

>>12906247
I know I shouldn't be saying this since /ck/ is a hobby board specifically for cooking, but holy fuck what levels of autism is this? I'm pretty sure that half of it is just being retardedly stubborn about ideals.
I would know, I feel the same about tech. Don't go down this path, anon. Learn to either accept or ignore it, because it'll just keep gnawing on you and annoy you to no fucking end forever.

You fags need to stop being a burden on your parents if you have this much fucking time to cook everyday

>>12898717
>Then you have the /ck/ poster, who is on a board specifically for people who prioritize the taste/quality of food
There are 10 McDonald's theads up at any given time.

>>12908169
Honestly I just add some water to things when I microwave it and it comes out well enough

>that seething cu/ck/ who gets angry at people not waking up at 3am to make lunch for the day, or spend all evening making meals in addition to dinner

>>12910465
Imagine being this bad and incompetent at cooking fucking lol

>>12910561
Imagine getting 5 hours of sleep every day just to cook food and still stuff it in a refrigerator container lol

>>12910567
You can make food quicker than you imagine you cooklet. Get good. I bet you believe everyone with a job lives off week old leftovers

>>12910567
Imagine being so bad at cooking that you legitimately think eating five day old shit from a Tupperware container is good.
Why are you even here?

ITT: """cooks""" blaming the techniques and tools rather than themselves
Hm? Hmmmmmmm???? What's this? Do I spy, with my little eye, anons who can't actually cook? Pots calling kettles black? HMMMMMMMMMM?? EXCUSES? IN MY COOKING BOARD??!??

>>12910575
>>12910597
>Oh boy time to get up at 3am again today to cook my fine haute cuisine for my janitor job
This is you

>>12910602
It isn't though.
Have fun eating your five day old salmon.

>>12910602
You can make a stir fry in 10 or 15 minutes, you can make fresh rice in 15 minutes, you can pan fry chicken in 10 minutes, etc. You just lack imagination, skill and drive. Get good (or enjoy leftovers I guess)

>>12910619
>Have fun getting more than 4 hours of sleep a night YOU FUCKING POORFAG PEASANT HAHAHA IM A MASTER CHEF UNLIKE YOU

>>12910602
How long does it take you to make a fucking sandwich?

>preps and freezes food for emergencies, illnesses, and days where i cant cook
>otherwise cook things fresh when i can

truly the best way to live

lmfao everyone is fucking furious imagine not having a cafeteria

>>12910602
>invents wild imaginary scenarios to justify eating microwaved leftovers every single day
wow the fucking cope is strong.
it shouldnt take more than 30-60 min to make any meal. if you arent a faggot and eat meat (or if you are a faggot and eat meat rare), you can make an entire meal in the time it takes to cook the meat.

>>12898374
>oof

>make pot of chicken & dumpling soup
>/ck/ gets made when I eat it the next few days because I can't eat an entire pot of soup in one sitting
But why? I'm one guy. When I cook some recipies like chili, curry, bbq chicken, soups, etc. I make a normal amount. It's fucking impossible to make a single person serving of a lot of things because it's be retarded to hydrate a single bowl's worth of chickpeas for chana masala.

>>12912448
Do what you want retard nobody care, but admit you eat leftovers like a filthy animal. The only ones getting mad here are the prep fags who cope HARD because /ck/CHADS make fun of them

>>12912485
The thing I'm more confused about is the people claiming they never eat leftovers. Considering /ck/ is mostly lonely bachelors I'm surprised every here always cooks for 1 instead of larger pots. Like I brought up, who makes enough soup for 1 person?

>>12910263
It doesn't have anything to do with cooking a fresh meal 3 times a day, just not cooking 3-7 days of shit to get stale in yours and the work fridge and be reheated in the office microwave that's been gangbanged by smells for years.

>>12910561
>>12910602
Who the fuck is waking up at 3 AM? Make a sandwich, go somewhere, whatever.

>>12912448
>>12912485
>>12912514
This shit's not about leftovers for a day or two when you made a little bit more than you can eat, it's about eating the same shit you made on Sunday for the next five days, presumably huddled in the corner of the break room, or at your desk.

maybe I should post my mealprepped meal every day to make /ck/ seethe
still tastes good by the end of the week

>>12903096
wtf are you making with that cook time, mummy's tendies?
