Im of the opinion that most foods (with the sole exception being baked goods) taste way better sfter they have sat in a refrigerator for a day after they have bren cooked
>>21962734>me as I log into my wfh jobWhat are some examples of foods for you? For me I think it’s fine for hot dishes that are made of mixed ingredients, but the more a dish is dominated by a single ingredient the worse it seems to me for resting and then reheating
>>21962734Some foods improve with a day's worth of time but most are best fresh. Potato salad is a big one that I prefer to make a day ahead so that the flavors can get to know each other better.

>>21962734>>21962896>I think it’s fine for hot dishes that are made of mixed ingredientsYeah this is the caveat. Like a soup or stew will be fine in the fridge, I don't necessarily think it makes it any better, but it's neutral at worst. But like, an individual piece of meat, like a pork chop or steak, or even a piece of chicken? It's going to be worse, if not borderline inedible after sitting in the fridge and being reheated. You gotta eat something like that straight out of the pan. Pasta? The sauce will be fine refrigerated, but the pasta itself needs to be boiled to serve. Anything deep fried? Forget it, even with an air fryer it might be passable the next day but it's not gonna be as good as it was straight out of the oil. And so much more. You gonna tell me you put scrambled eggs in the fridge? A salad covered in dressing? That shit's gonna be soggy and limp the next day. Your thesis just doesn't hold up OP, it really only applies to a specific kind of cooking.
