/ck/ - Food & Cooking

[Anonymous No.18284610]

Unless you're a poorfag and your time is literally worthless, why would you *ever* cook at home?

You're always going to get a better tasting meal from a restaurant
You'll never have to spend hours inefficiently cleaning up every dish in your kitchen and all of the countertops and appliances

You know why profit margins are so thin for restaurants? Because they're all in a race to the bottom and they can't price their food to rip you off or they'll go out of business. They're already barely pricing food above cost. They use loopholes to pay staff under minimum wage (you're expected to subsidize this through tipping, skip the tip and save). They already have way more efficient systems in place to prep, cook and clean than you'll ever have doing the same for one meal at a time.

It's a no-brainer: If you're employed, you'll *save* money by getting takeout and you'll enjoy the convenience and pleasure of getting good food to boot. Don't fall for the home cooking meme that is literally wasting your life away by inefficiently mimicking restaurant quality at best, but most likely wasting your life away to eat bland, shitty food that you're too tired to make properly anyway.

>You're always going to get a better tasting meal from a restaurant

Stopped reading right there. I make better food than most of the restaurants I've been to. From chipotle to fancy ass french restaurants, I am always disappointed by the food and the price I pay for it, and then I make a better version of it at home anyway. Ironically, the only places I will frequent are the super cheap ones like taco bell and mcdonald because the amount of chemicals and shit they add to their food can't be replicated easily at home, making it actually unique.

This thread is bait and you're a cooklet.

Restaurant food doesn't even come close to the level of quality and care that I put into my own food. I can make things taste exactly the way I want or have the exact texture and mouth feel I desire.

I've also worked in a few kitchens and every single one is disgusting, from chains to fine dining. Everyone behind the line is overworked and underpaid and only care about making things "look" clean.

You have it backwards. Unless you're rich, paying for food at a restaurant or fast food place is a complete waste of money.

The richer you are, the more your time is worth and the more worth it it is to have other people cook for you. But the threshold is high where unless you are in the multimillionaire category, you're completely wasting your money on stupid shit that will probably make you fat.

Mostly fat fucks and NEETS use this excuse of time and money and their time is virtually worth nothing so they're just making excuses for their lazy, stupid behavior. For the truly rich(IE nobody on 4chan), it's worth it.

It's not even a monetary decision.
Let's assume your time is valuable enough that it is cheaper to eat at a restaurant than to prepare it yourself.
The question is, are you going to spend that hour working to make money instead? I work 8 hours or more a day and still have time to prepare my own meals. Are you working more than 8 hours a day? Can you even work on demand at any hour of the day and make money? Even the very wealthy can't just decide to make a thousand dollars an hour at 7pm.
Additionally, cooking can be a leisure activity. I enjoy preparing a nice meal. It is something I do for its own sake and its a constructive use of my time.

This is true. But it comes with monetary cost.
And the Sooners of today are a weird mix of superficial and broke.
So (as obviously displayed every fucking day on /ck/), they can’t say something like
>I make X at home to save money because I’m broke
It has to me
>omg I make X SOOOOO much better than any restaurant can, and I also do it cheaper!
Your shit might be cheaper in terms of end meal cost, with your time being worthless and whatnot, but it likely isn’t better. You only think it is because of course your own cooking is the best you’ve ever tasted.

No offense but it's likely to be you that has shit taste if you think restaurant food is top quality and you've never had anyone in your life that is actually a good cook. Restaurants, especially chains, employ people that are less experienced cooks than your average poster here. That should tell you everything. The advantage they have is mass prep and equipment like deep fryers all set up to go for them.

If you have a good deep frying set up at home, you can cook anything as well as a restaurant. My family has been to plenty of restaurants and they quite literally prefer me to cook for them rather than get restaurant food. I'm not attending to 100's of customers a night, just my family, and I know how they like everything.

Surpassing restaurant quality food is something you should be able to do within 1 year of picking up cooking.

Funny that you say that since "science" says that home cooks are healthier and wealthier, whereas those who can't cook or visit restaurants more frequently are poorer and fatter because they don't know how to cook for themselves.

You've never worked in a kitchen if you're labeling the people that run restaurants "professionals" at their craft, especially chain restaurants. They are only professionals in a literal sense that they're paid to "cook", not a figurative one where they're good at what they do. The one who comes off as a clueless zoomer who has never worked a day in his life is you since you seem to pointlessly put these restaurants on a pedestal and think they're run by actual chefs.

I hope you realize the extent of their expertise is about the same level as a fast food worker that dunks your fries in a vat of hot oil for a set period of time. Most restaurant food tastes good to fat fucks like you because it's just fried and slathered in oil, cheese, and salt, which anyone can do and can make anything tasty if you don't give a fuck about calories.

These people are closer to workers than they are cooks. Most workers in the restaurant industry are incapable of home cooking to any real degree, because they're reliant on the equipment and pre-prepared ingredients at work to do their job and the extent of their cooking knowledge is solely what they were trained to do at their workplace.

But since you've never done anything but sit at a restaurant and apparently think all of them have Gordon Ramsay in the back cooking your "incredible" 12 dollar omelette, your stupid opinion makes sense about why you think the food is unable to be replicated at home.
