Idk. I’m fucking hungry and I’m still stuck on this stupid ass train commute home.

All this is great advice

Unless you hate eating the same shit every day

That's why you buy a chest freezer and meal prep stuff that reheats from frozen well.

Roast like 3 different kinds of veggies at once, get one of those rotisserie chickens we're yapping about, then one day use the chicken + one veggie for sandwhiches. The next go for a rice bowl. The next maybe just toss it on a salad. Using different veg each time. Also keeping 3-4 sauces on hand that you like to put on any of these and you can mix it up every day and keep it from getting too boring. Basically, cook a few things once or twice a week but keep it all separate, then every day just mix and match. I call it the taco bell method.

Mine was probably a breville smart oven. Which is also an air fryer but just in general having something that can fit a full pizza or roasting pan that heats to 500F in ~180sec with true convection is a life changer. I use my actual oven like twice a year because of that thing.

....I really need to clean it. I don't wanna clean it...

FWIW I can still get a lot of chicken legs/wings/thighs for like 6 bucks a pack and it takes like 30 mins to season it and cook it in the air fryer. I still make a lot of sandwiches with my favorite wheat pita bread which is like 15 dollars for ingredients and covers about 3 or 4 meals.

I keep a 25 lb of frozen wings from costco in the deep freezer. It's nice because they were pre salted. So you can put them frozen directly in the air fryer for about 30min and they come out perfect and ready to be sauced.

Only problem is they fucking reek while cooking. I hate that plain chicken fat smell without some kind of armoatic behind it. I usually put the air fryer outside on my back patio table while they cook lol

[Mertron]

I've got a ninja with 2 baskets and I love being able to do 2 things with different time/heat simultaneously

Ninja or cosori, both are can't miss brands

[Obsidian]

Although I wasn't impressed with Ninja when one of my girlfriend's blender cups had the blade bearing die and discovered that they don't sell replacement cups or lids, you're just shit out of luck.

[Salodin]

Ninja is a shit brand, not meant to last like a real appliance imo

How much time, including washing dishes, makes that meal cost likely over $22

You can get 3000 calories delivered in pizza form for $10. Done and done. No driving to the store. No dishes. No cooking.

What the fuck do you put on your pizza that makes it only cost $10 for 3000 calories

Pretty sure a full Costco pepperoni pizza is about 3200 calories for the whole thing and is 10 bucks.

Little ceasers large pizzas can also hit about that many calories.

So shitty pizza

Costco pizza is pretty good and beats most chains.

100% felt like shit every time after eating them but they're better than most chain offerings

[Sirious]

Yeah it's shitty pizza, the whole point was that shitty food is cheap. Good food isn't. Good food takes your time. Time is money.

it's actually 4600 calories for about $11 right now (delivery another 5 though)
And if you asked to get it bobbed. it's 5600 calories. no extra charge. Covered in butterparm.

I use costco rotisserie chickens all year round.

My main use for them is for a white chicken chili. Since the chicken is already cooked all you have to do is pull the breasts and thighs and chop them up (or pull them if you prefer that texture) and toss in a pot after sauteing veggies. One chicken makes about 6 normal servings. I usually serve it with breadsticks to dip.

Then you have the wings legs and bones. That goes into an instant pot with veggies and herbs and water for 1 hour on high pressure. Strain everything out with cheesecloth and you have 8-10 cups of chicken stock. 50000000000x better than anything store bought. Freeze in a mason jar for 6-12 months.

omfg please stop this PLEASE, MY FRIEND

those things sit heating in plastic for hours.

[archibaldcrane]

Yeah if your Costco fucking sucks ass and you live in a town with a population of 5. Chickens around dinner time here mean you have to wait for them to be done and are snatched up soon as they get tossed out. Just don't go 5mins before close and expect freshness! How dare you blaspheme my chickens!

[kisada]

wtf am i the only person here who cares about the copious amounts of plastic added to food through heat

BRO it's not about freshness

also quit meat last year anyway lol
