I am. But that's only because you're doing it wrong.

it's because we don't feel like it

i finally started to learn after about 4-5 years of eating fast food for dinner every night.

1/28/2008 7:40:52 PM

Also it's much more expensive to cook than it is to eat out

1/28/2008 7:48:19 PM

Maybe if you are eating shit.

1/28/2008 7:52:55 PM

I'm the son of chef and I still can't cook

^I was walking around D.H. Hill and saw they had aisles of cook books.

Que?

it might be cheaper to buy some shitty $1 cheeseburgers from the value menu but it is most definitely cheaper to cook good food vs going out

2/14/2008 9:26:28 AM

Actually it's cheaper to cook anything than it is to eat out, but you will have to make larger quantities when you cook it yourself.

Burgers for example, it's hard to buy 1/4lb of beef and one hamburger bun.

its not hard to take a minute when you get home and separate it though
and you can always freeze lots of leftovers
soup, sauces, stews, etc.

I don't consider myself to be a good cook, but I cooked a pork tenderloin in apple chipotle sauce yesterday that came out pretty good.

Everybody should learn how to cook, but it takes some time and I totally understand if you haven't learned how to cook yet.

yea that's what we do... buy a few pounds of meat, make burgers, freeze in individual bags, thaw in microwave on defrost then cook on stove for a few mins... takes maybe 10mins to make a good burger and costs next to nothing

2/14/2008 10:51:09 AM

I never use the defrost feature on the microwave. Maybe I should get into that.

2/14/2008 10:52:54 AM

I do the same thing. Hamburger, pork chops, fish, deli meat, etc. all comes from Sam's Club in bulk. Most of it goes straight to the freezer until a couple days before I want to cook it. I defrost by putting it in the fridge for a couple of days instead of using the microwave. Sometimes I'll defrost fish by running cool water over it.

^It's overrated,

letting stuff sit out and defrost works out much better.

2/14/2008 10:55:31 AM

Im pretty sure ive got this covered.

I usually put it under dripping water/bowl full of water for steaks and stuff like that but for simple burgers it's simpler just to nuke it real quick

This the best way to defrost soemthing....it doesnt take long, and you dont fuck it up by partially cooking it like a microwave does
