Do wageslaves really prepare heaps of cheap slop because they don't have 30mins/day to cook?

I thought i was misunderstanding "meal prep" for the longest time. I thought it was just cooking all of your meals on the same day (like sunday) so you just eat left overs all week. I just assumed they were making small portions of meals or splitting it up. Like grilling a chicken breast for 2 days of tacos, macking 2 burger patties, etc. No, the number of times I've seen office cubicle workers eating the exact same meal for 10 meals straight was astounding. One lady did it for years until she, for multiple weeks, discovered the food generally molds or goes bad by Friday.

I cannot for the life of me understand how anyone could eat the same shit reheated for EVERY GOD DAMN MEAL.

Not really. They buy from Hello Fresh (or whatever it's called in your country) and cook "fresh" with market leftovers. nobody does meal prep, except for total losers.

I don't know why I am replying to dickheads like you.

If you make a large amount of decent food, there is nothing wrong with batching it up to freeze and use another day.
You kiddies are just so used to ordering fast food daily that you have no idea what cooking is.

>>22146363
I didn't make yesterday's thread. But turns out there is interest in discussing this topic. Do wageslaves really live without the basic pleasure of being able to cook a meal a day?

In winter I make a huge pot of chili and have it every day for a week and it gets better every day but that's like 1-2 times a year at best.

That's what it's like.

I just make a big batch and eat it over the course of 2-3 days
>>
>>22146300
I make large amounts of certain things because we buy in bulk. Some of us grind our own beef, or pork butt, and it ends up easier to go an and make the large batch of food and freeze it that way, rather than freeze it in portions to thaw out and make one meal servings later. I know you don't care because you're trolling, but someone might get some use out of this advice.
>>
>>22146303
I cook 2kg of chicken breast stir fry with about the same volume in vegetables and egg, it lasts me about 4-5 days (unfrozen).
>>
>>22146515
I swear most of the people here are trolling.

If I make up a load of chilli, curry, ragu, whatever, I don't want to eat it everyday until it's gone. I have plastic trays and I freeze it, so that I can eat it, days, weeks or even months later.

I don't see the difficulty in understanding that?

I had a friend who was an electrical engineer like 17-years ago who would ONLY cook on Sundays for the upcoming week and then portion something like pasta sauce for each day with a coffee cup, kek. I actually miss that nigga.

I just make batches of tamales or burritos, or triple meat sandwiches

>>22146447
Yeah that's one thing I really find weird about my countrymen. French or Italian proles cook wholesome, delicious dinners they enjoy with their family and live good everyday lives. German proles eat literal pig feed and live in shitty commie blocks just so that they can lease a muh BMW and fly to muh Mallorca. Wypipo don't season dey food is 100% real in Germany. What some people I know eat on a day to day basis is either prison food tier or kebab shop goyslop. Only old grannies in the countryside or hipsters who watch cooking influencers cook and eat palatable food. Fucking tragic since you can get really good ingredients for little money here
>>
Meal prep is subhuman, but there are some things where making a little more for some leftovers is worth it. Stuff like lasagna or gulasch

If I were german I would want to leave too

I do "meal prep" because, as an East Yurostani, I was conditioned from childhood to believe cooking small portions is inefficient.

Though it actually is. Peeling and chopping half a kilo of root veg doesn't actually take half the time of peeling and chopping 1 kilo of the same root veg. Cooking 1 liter of soup doesn't take 1/3 of the time required for 3 liters.

I'm all for meal prepping but reheating a wok is gross you are loosing all the texture of the meat and vegetables
>>
>>22147237
>I just make batches of burritos
Funny that's what I was planning to try. Had the idea to make my own beans from raw none of the canned shit. Semi mash them so half are still whole but enough mashed to be able to make a paste that will stick. Put a few slices of cheese on top of that and then batch cook up some different meats and pile it on top.
Roll them up and bulk freeze them.
Than all I would need to do is shop for some toppings and I would pull a burrito out each night to unthaw. Then just throw it in the oven or air fryer to crisp up and add in some lettuce/tomato salsa or whatever I've got and I've got an easy meal that blows shitpotle out of the water for half the price.

I think meal prepping is retarded, but so is having to cook everyday. I prefer to cook for several hours on one day and have actually good food for several, rather than slapping together some crap in 30 min all the time.

heating up your food you've already prepared in a single covered pot with some water and the lid on to steam everything on low is the best way to reheat food. fuck portioned leftovers, they're always garbage by like day 2 due to drying out and just general weird fucking fridge voodoo that happens

cook your food and leave it all in the same container and then just re-combine and touch it up upon reheating. don't just stick it portioned out into glass containers that you microwave, it never reheats well that way, ever.

the only food you can reheat in the work microwave and have it actually taste decent is a fully wrapped flour tortilla burrito, because it self-steams itself when you microwave it, and if you wait like 5-10 minutes before eating you wont have to deal with lava killing your mouth when you try to eat it

There's nothing wrong with leftovers, seething changes nothing about that fact.
But i never meal prep, i just eat leftovers. I dont want 8 day old food from last week's prep. I just cook every other day, usually. That way i always have a steady stream of leftovers ready to go.
>>
>>22148709
Which owl?!

>>22148490
Then just get delivery if your time is that optimized then. Meal prepping is the sad wagie half measure to the issue of time management. If your time is really that crazy valuable then just get everything made for you.
>>
>>22149147
Agreed
Some sort of psyop to bully people into eating out more

>>22146466

>>22149221
Yes, perhaps so. Cooking is a threat to the profit margins of fast food conglomerates
>>
>>22147249
Belgians/the Dutch are this but even more extreme. They love ultraprocessed pig slop, you could probably make a ton of money by selling nutriloaf in Dutch supermarkets
>>
>>22146300
I'm not some crazy meal preper who has dozens of meals in my freezer or anything, but I make dinner for my work week so I don't have to cook after a 12 hour day at work. That gives me a bit more time to relax after work while still being able to have a hot home cooked meal after work.

I do sometimes make extra food that I know will freeze well so I can toss it in the freezer and eat it on a day I don't feel like cooking. Often times that things like rice vegetables and beans, soup, pasta, shredded pork, etc.
