The most efficient way to run your kitchen is with minimum utensilar and dishware amounts. I didn't do dishes for months and then realized that those dishes were obviously unnecessary and threw them away. I now have one fork and one bowl, no plates or spoons, two fry pans, a pan, two pots, a grater, a can opener, and about 20 tea mugs.

and my blue teapot

That's actually kind of smart for nasty bachelors like myself.
I can't be fucked to do dishes.

Kitchens aren't about efficiency and neither is cooking. Hang around here and lurk more, it will come in time.

Too many tea mugs, too many frying pans, too many pots, and not enough knives (knife).

Also, I hope your bowl is a large, flat one.

Do you have a chopping board?

You could also just eat cup ramen every day, no dishes at all.

Buy plastic plates, cutlery and cups and just toss them in the trash every time.
Don't even cook, just buy stuff in microwaveable containers, noodles, soup microwave, meals, frozen stuff. If you are going to be a pleb piece of shit at least optimize your sloth.

Not OP, but there's definitely an argument for cutting down on your kitchenware. You can do a lot with a few good pieces, and you want to avoid being one of those people with kitchens full of unitasker shite.

too expensive and my meals I fashion out of laziness are ten times the efficiency and healthiness of pre-packed sustenance.

You need a chopping board. Takes thirty seconds to clean and stores easily due to flatness.

You can drop like half of that, especially the non-cookware disposable items you used to bulk up the list :)

>> No.9859587

>>9859574
Maybe you could but I find I need everything on that list to cook what I want

What I don't have and want is a skillet that I can throw in the oven so I can make Paella, Fondant Potatoes and properly cook a steak
