Is there any way for me to make food without the entire cleaning up after yourself part?

I just want to cook, bros. Washing dishes suck.

I'm the type of person who finds cleaning dishes by hand to be great stress relief and a good time to think, but I also fucking hate people who can't be assed to clean up after themselves. Luckily, I can work through that anger by doing dishes.

its really easy. wash your dishes as you go and minimize your utensils/pans. I got my chef's knife and trusty cast iron i do everything in. for example lets say you're making pasta, as the sauce is going you can strain the noodles and while you're waiting for the sauce to finish turn around and wash the colander and noodle pot really quick, or if you're cutting chicken, and then veggies with your favorite knife, just wash that knife between uses really quick. then when you're done cooking all you gotta do is wash the plate you eat off of.

cook with water, not oil. Learn how to pressure cook things. cooking with oil = big clean up.
And that sticky oil you gotta clean off of everything is the same oil you are putting in your body and it is sticking to your arteries.

>> No.14617934

You let it cool, wipe out the grease, the meme about not washing your cast iron pan is bs. Wash it in warm soapy water, dry it completely. Then rub vegetable oil all over the surface and wipe away the excess before you put it away.

You can cook your entire meal in a rice cooker, and eat out of the rice cooker. The cooking bowls are non-stick, so they're easy to clean.

I recently had a roommate like this. I made a long angry post about it on a roommate horror story thread. People don’t me my landlord wouldn’t give a fuck.
Here I am a month later, the nightmarish roommate kept stealing and eventually needed drugs so badly he let actual homeless people stay in his room for money, that same day my landlord threw him out and changed the locks and my life is at least 60% less awful.

Just clean up after yourself when you're cooking. I won't start cooking until everything is prepared. Then all I have to do is rinse some bowls and a few utensils when I'm finished cooking and stack them neatly by the sink then I'll do them the next morning or sometimes before I cook again.

lipids are what stick to the arteries. lipids are fat.

All that greese and oil and junk that sticks to the pan and is hard to clean. all that stuff you have to scrub. it's kinda sticky in your arteries too.
my clean up is a breeze because I cook with water and don't eat fatty greasy things. Hopefully my arteries are clean as well.

I find that most people who adopt this attitude have mental issues.
Is the mess in your way, does it smell, are there ants, are you out of clean cutlery? those are real problems. And all of them can be solved without cleaning the mess.
My uncle has ant stickers on his fridge and you'd be surprised at the amount of OCD it reveals in guests.

That doesn't sound very efficient at all.
Your pasta and sauce should finish simultaneously.
You don't need to wash the knife between meat and veggies if you cut them in the right order.
Have you washed the pan after cooking but before eating? things go cold.
When you're done cooking you should have a dirty pot, pan, tongs/whatever you use, and a colander/strainer if you use one. And you should clean them together with your plate after the meal for maximum efficiency, assuming you need one of those implements for your next meal (ie intend to cook pasta again and have no duplicate equipment). Otherwise wash in bulk as infrequently as possible.

Trucker with an electric lunchbox?

And to OP, the more you can cook by wrapping in disposable foil or parchment and ovening, the fewer dishes you'll have.
The downside is that soap is cheaper than foil.

Getting a bunch of disposable gloves changed my life in the kitchen. I use them for almost every activity, cutting, cleaning, dishes. Everyone always thinks it's weird until I convince them to try it out themselves .
