/ck/ - Food & Cooking

Clean as you go faggot.

Obviously never worked in food service.

>This post violates a rule
>This post is extremely low quality

>>14899864
Thats why you meal prep, normie loser

pressure cooker, bro.

>>14899864
As you get better, you will be faster (like with many other things)

By the time the meal is done, everything should have been cleaned except the pots and pans.

1. Prep all ingredients
2. Cook, cleaning out the bowls/plates/cutting boards used to hold said ingredients as you go.
3. Eat while your cookware comes to room temperature
4. Clean your plate, utensils, pans, soaking anything that may need it.

I've never worked anywhere outside an office, even in HS and I still know this.

>>14899864
make foods that take 8 hours or meals that take 30 minutes

>>14899864
Use a higher temperature dingus

>>14899978
I don't prep. The pan is heating when I start cutting. There is no time to clean anything before e erything is done. Your cooking style is way slower than what OP described.

>>14900332
Some shit needs prep, a quick fried rice is impossible without some mise en place. Good knife skills help with prep, and some tools like a food processor ib some cases is useful to speed it up.
>>14899978
This is a good outline.
>>14899961
Also this, pressure cooker saves a lot of time on stewing/braising.

Cook bigger batches too, it may take longer than a quick meal but freezing/reheating means you get to skip on cooking some nights.

>>14899966
this OP, you need to get better knife skills and learn faster cooking techniques (pressure cooking and stir fry)

>be born not retarded
>clean as you work
>finish cooking in 15 minutes

WHEW LAD

>>14899864
What fucking banquets are you making? Most of my meals take 20 minutes, some 30 minutes tops, including cleaning and prep. And even then, I'm not in the kitchen the whole time.

>>14900416
This, OP faggot

Most of my cooking takes 30 minutes at most. I am a "chop some stuff up and throw it in a pan and heat it" kind of cook.

More than 2 hours? What the fuck?

>>14900406
>>14900363
what would you bros consider "knife skills"?
like if you had to compare the movements of your averaeg joe in the ktichen versus a professional chef, what would the difference in how they use the knife look like?
and what common foods can i train and practice on?

>>14899864
Make bigger batches of food so you can just reheat some later which gives you more free time.

That's why you either cook everything in a wok quickly, cutting quickly with your chinese cleaver, or order a pizza. For beverages, it's tea without milk or sugar, or water.

>>14900797
How fast/accurate your cuts are.

Practice on veggies

>>14900797
Speed/consistency of cuts. Proper knife technique usually helps but there's no replacing practice. zucchini/carrots/onions are good to practice on.

>>14899864
>make soup
>it sits unattended for 90% of the cooking process
>pot makes enough for 8 meals
>freeze the individual portions
Make more than one meals worth of food and learn to cool and store it properly retard. You

>>14900604
I unironically cook like Rachel Ray

You have three options.

1) Clean as you cook. Kind of annoying since, you'll want to eat your food as soon as it's done. But, at least after the meal you won't have the stress of a dirty kitchen. This one requires the most upfront effort, and most people don't do it.

2) Big Batch. Make a ton of food which you can eat for at least a week or less by easily re-heating it in the microwave. Make it in a giant pot which means less cleaning also down the line. This one is good for lazy people who don't mind eating the same thing over and over but most people can't do this and after 2 or 3 days they will forget about the pot of food, letting it spoil.

3. Meal-Prep. This option requires the most effort at the cooking stage, cleanup is much less of a problem compared to option 1. These containers give you the benefit of big batch cooking but with more variety. You're not stuck to making something in one giant pot which you then have to ladle to another container to microwave. The meal-prep containers let you take your meals, put them directly into the microwave, and eat out of them directly. No extra dishes. Like big batch cooking, biggest failures here are becoming bored of eating the same meal but since you can cook more variety it's less likely to happen.

This hasn't proved true for me in the bedroom.

what the fuck are you cooking everyday that takes two hours if your gonna complain about time

>>14901253
kek

>>14899864
you're autistic if it takes you more than a hour to cook a meal

>>14899953
>disrupting your life so you can put in a solid 8 hours (plus unpaid commute) for shekelstein

>>14900797
Don't buy into the knife skill meme
Literally no one on the planet looks at a plate of food and says how consistently you chopped the 300 pieces of onion

>>14901517
yes, and my OCD intensifies when I cook

>>14899864
>thinking about what to have for dinner
>decide to just stop by at mcdonalds on the way home
>get the travis scott meal
>enjoy my QPC with bacon and lettuce, fries with BBQ sauce, and large sprite (extra ice of course) promptly and with little cleanup
>can play fortnite for hours because of all the time I saved
>get a victory royale
>it's lit

>>14899953
Looks like a good way to get food poisoning off that rice. Cooked rice shouldn't be kept longer than a day.

>>14900825
>tea without milk or sugar,or water.

So dried leaves then?

>>14903369
One day lmao what, can easily go a week

>>14903369
I've eaten week old Chinese food rice that I nuked in the microwave. I haven't died yet and I'm nearly 30.

>>14899897
if it is of such low quality why did the thread get so many replys?

> Ideally, serve rice as soon as it has been cooked.
> If that is not possible, cool the rice as quickly as possible (ideally within 1 hour).
> Keep rice in the fridge for no more than 1 day until reheating.
> When you reheat rice, always check that it's steaming hot all the way through.
> Do not reheat rice more than once.

If you've ever been ill after eating Chinese takeaway/restaurant food, it's probably more likely from the rice than the meat or seafood.

>>14903530
I've never got I'll after eating reheated chinese food and have been eating reheated chinese food for at least the last 10 years of my life

>>14899864

Well there's all your fucking replies, asshole.

>>14899864
Either cook more simple meals (a lot of pasta dishes shouldn’t take more than half an hour, prep included) or learn to enjoy the process. Prep everything then get stoned and cook/clean while listening to music. Pretty fun

>>14901619
Things cook more evenly if they’re all the same size shithead

>>14899891
This. When you know you know.
