I have physical disabilities and it would still take me maybe 3 minutes to cut up all the veg in the package on the right.
That's a savings of roughly $3 if I buy the veg whole and cut it myself. Let's be honest: we post to 4chan, so it's not likely any of us are worth $60/hr.

Sometimes you are out of town, staying at the ol' Comfort Inn but not the suites, and you don't want to eat crap and you don't really have a cutting board or prep area. or even paper towels or dish soap to clean up.
You're in the middle of a road trip, this is the middle of the day and you can lunch n munch while driving on this finger food.
Sometimes you appreciate services done for you and paying an extra $1 isn't going to bankrupt you occasionally because your time is quite valuable and you already know that it'll rot in the veggie drawer and go totally wasted but that you'll actually reach for this and consume it.
It doesn't offend your sensibilities to understand other people other than yourself have reasons to want or need things like this. If you've never shopped weekly for your grandma with dementia and arthritis, you wouldn't understand how other people live without frivolity but by practicality. I would have no problem spending another $20 on grandma if I didn't have to prep her food into tupperware with lids she can't close for 2 hours before I can get the hell out of there and get back to my own life faster. If you had toddlers, same difference. Life is short.

I don't like it: It's overpriced. It goes bad faster than buying whole produce. It has extra unnecessary packaging. And for what? The fact that it saves you a couple of minutes of prep? Seems silly.

Not to mention that if newbie cooks continually rely on this sort of thing as a crutch they never get a chance to improve their knife skills, and thus get stuck in a loop of overpaying for years.

>>11154712
20 minutes? Jesus christ. I am far from a pro and I can't even imagine anything that might take 20 minutes of knifework, or even anywhere close to it, unless you're talking about something carving pic related. There is zero reason a home cook would need to spend anywhere near that much time cutting stuff up. Sharpen your knife and learn how to use it.

And let's not forget that a home cook doesn't need to worry about having their dice exactly uniform in size. This isn't something Ramsay is serving to the damn queen, it's perfectly OK if the cubes are uneven. Why not food processor it if it would take an honest 20 minutes?

Sure, I do agree that if you were cooking a large vegetarian meal for multiple people with multiple dishes then sure, that could easily exceed 20 min in prep.

But speaking of "modifications to the scenario", does that sound like the average example of "home cooking" to you? When I think "home cooking"--especially in the context of time-saving--I am thinking a simple meal for a small number of people, not trying to serve a complex vegetarian masterpiece with multiple courses and a dozen diners. Look at what OP posted a photo of. do you think any of that took an appreciable amount of time?

my original point was that prep times can be far in excess of 4 minutes if you have a large meal to prepare. you began to question my abilities with a knife so i gave an obvious example of something that was labour intensive. the fact that is that across a range of skill levels and meal sizes you can get a pretty big range of prep times for a home cook to contend with. i suppose the broader thesis is that time is relatively valuable to a home cook and you are not in a position to judge people for how they spend it.

Yes, and yes. Not that either matters for home cooking anyway.

Cutting the flesh away from the stem and the core takes about 2 seconds, pic related. If there is any white left then it takes a couple seconds to remove that with the tip of the knife. Cut the pepper into strips following the same rolling motion, then cut the strips crosswise into dice if you need dice rather than strips. Takes well under 30 seconds.

Prep times of more than 20 minutes are rare enough that they aren't relevant to a discussion about normal home cooking. they're caused by either unusually large or elaborate dishes, or by turbospergs insisting on minute perfection.

Right. I'm saying they're not really relevant to the average home cook, and therefore ridiculous to talk about. Your counter-example was supposed to change my mind, yet it was exactly that--a situation not typical for the average home cook, therefore my point stands.

Anyone cooking vegetarian food for large numbers of people is going to either care about price, care about flavour, or care about the environment. Likely all three. They won't be buying precut vegetables.

I don't believe you. I'm 41. I have never in my life cooked an elaborate multi-course vegetarian meal. Nor have I ever seen one, been invited to one, or even heard of one. I just asked my co-workers over chat (6 of them), and none of them have either. Keep in mind that these people live in several different countries. I'm sure such a thing does exist, but it's far from typical or average. Three of those co-workers are vegetarian and one is vegan, BTW.

As for taking 20 minutes to prep for a single dish, where are you getting that from? Not even my 10-year-old nephew takes that long. Seriously, I've hung around the kitchen while my brother was teaching him.

>>you can't judge a whole range of people on your own limited experience
Sure I can. While my experience is certianly limited to some degree, it's not limited enough to get a general feel for how most people cook. I've lived in a few different countries too, and the data are consistent.

Can you cite firsthand examples of people you know that cook multicourse vegetarian meals for a dozen people often enough for it to be statistically significant? What about people taking 20 min to prep for a single simple dish?

>you're just appealing to your own experience
I'm not denying that.

But when I don't see it even one time it makes it pretty clear that it can't be very common. I'm not a NEET with no real-world experience. I am widely traveled, I have lived in a few different countries. Yet with all of that it's still quite rare.

>maybe.... maybe your friends are plebeian of just agreeing with you because it's easy?
co-workers, not friends. And surely typing "no" is even easier than typing "yes".

>what are you trying to prove here?
I've already fucking said it. You're wrong about who buys that shit and what it's used for.

Those things are for single professional women and extremely lazy fat people. The world would be better if they didn't exist.

The world would be better if they didn't exist
The world would be better if they didn't exist
The world would be better if they didn't exist
The world would be better if they didn't exist

stop trying to justify them

Oh, but it is the point.
If the point is merely;
>people cook elaborate vegetarian meals
then it's totally irrelevant to the thread

whoever originally said that, said it in service of that larger point, which is as blatantly incorrect as its premise is correct.

The only pre-cut produce I ever buy is jackfruit. Fuck that latex-y, sticky sumbitch right in the fucking eye. Oddly enough, the cut up jackfruit seed pods ($1.99/lb) are cheaper than buying the whole fruit ($4.99/lb) when you have to throw out about two-thirds of the fucking thing.

I don't like people touching the insides of my food. With their fingers. Poopy booger fingers. To me, all that time-saving crap is bullshit because of the increased surface areas I'd have to decontaminate of shitty-booger-sweat droplet-pube-dander particles. Gross.

My grocery store sells diced vegetables in the frozen section. They're like $0.15-$0.30 than if you got them fresh, but sometimes when you're getting home late and have to make a bunch of food the next morning at 4:30 am you really don't want to fuck around with that shit.
