Hey user, why can't you cook anything?
It's not that hard and it doesn't have to be perfect.

Most of the time it's literally just adding things together and applying heat.

>being chinese

no thanks

Gyoza isn't hard. Literally oil to brown one side, water to steam. Done.

Clearly you haven't tried to hand fold dumplings before. It's hard to fold them well and not get any oil from the stuffing on the edges that will cause them to open up.

>implying

It's a lot of effort for only marginal benefit.

how dare you learn to cook instead of using the time to work for a profit and using that profit to pay somebody who cooks professionally. Stop killing jobs.

>why can't you cook
I can and so can most other men over the age of 16 you stupid faggot.

I am a mongolian chef, you ungrateful kraut.

Now, go back to the cuckshed and suck muhammads dick.

>eating food isn't important

GIVE BACK PIEROGIS SCHWAB!

>It's a lot of effort
The fuck? It's fucking easy as shit, literally heat a pan and throw things in, sprinkle seasonings, learn to flip it ("sauté")


>for only marginal benefit.
Fresh ingredients taste a hundred times better than preprocessed food.

But I do know how to cook. Made some baked salmon last night. Paella the night before.

Turns out hanging out with hunters exposes you to people who know what the fuck to do with food. All the left wing urbanites know how to do is shop for "ethnic" ingredients at Whole Foods. They then proceed to mangle the shit out of whatever they're cooking. Give a rural hunter a cast iron skillet, some butter, and whatever veggies they grow in their garden and you'll get a meal better than anything you get in a restaurant.

I have a rice cooker from Hitachi. I can bake bread, make soups and cook rice with it.
Bought myself 25kg of delicious Yasmine Rice from Thailand. I often add frozen vegetables, quality soj- or hot sauce. Fucking delicious and cheap as fuck.
Also pasta with spinach and garlic, 2nd favorite.

I take pride in my cooking brah. It's easier on my wallet and my stomach eating meals prepared at home.

Eating frozen/premade food generally tastes just as good, or a little worse, than spending half an hour or more cooking it yourself.

Plus if you mess up anything your food will end up way worse than the frozen/pre-packaged stuff.

Is that dough even homemade though?? I make batches of the dough and leave them at the point of being a little ball ready to be rolled out, freeze the little balls, I've got like a hundred and whenever I want fresh potstickers I just thaw a couple (only takes a minute because they're small), cook up a little mix of chicken/pork and veggies, make the potstickers, steam them. Mmmm.

How come you didn't learn how to make tendies at this point?

Not only do I cook but i enjoy it. Last night I made a delicious honey chicken with some rice and some pan friend green peppers and onions.

enjoy your (((food))) i guess
eschewing self-reliance is super fucking blue pilled in general though

Reading this makes my mouth water.
Cooking is very simple these days, it's a skill worth learning.

>Eating frozen/premade food generally tastes just as good

but home made has less junk in it, costs way less in most cases and lets a person make it exactly how they want it. So for example if I make my own bread in a bread machine it's just bread flour, water, salt and maybe a tea spoon of butter and some yeast. That's it.

I also ends up costing me something like 85cents.

I still use frozen veggies from costco and frozen chicken but everything else I try to make from scratch. Mostly baked goods being you can't find decent baked good anymore in the store being everything is way too sweet and make with crappy oil etc. It tastes processed.

But I'm learning right now, In trade school and slowly figuring shit out, to bad I dont have a hoven in my apartment

This guy gets it. And even in the case that you don't have a garden you still have a small window shelf on which you can grow basic herbs to flavor your stuff even more and absoloutly for free

I am not wasting my time cooking. I just buy a sack of dollar cheeseburgers and eat a few when I get hungry

Added sugar and crappy fats are my biggest concern when it comes to bakeries and processed food in general.

>costs way less
Literally irrelevant to me, I make $84k/year.

I've heard frozen veggies can actually be better because they're frozen right after being harvested which helps preserve nutrients, flavor, freshness etc

So you make 84k/year and you eat frozen garbage? Why? Preparing food takes little time, it a very enjoyable activity, and tastes great. All you have to do is pour a class of wine and spend a few minutes in the kitchen.

Its like chemistry with an edible result.

>Mostly baked goods being you can't find decent baked good anymore in the store being everything is way too sweet and make with crappy oil etc. It tastes processed.
That's an American thing. Bread over here is still oil, salt, flour, water, yeast.

>Preparing food takes little time
More time than I have, y'know, because I work for a living and food is nothing but calories and nurients. Why should I waste time preparing it when ultimately taste doesn't matter and I have shit to do?

>food is nothing but calories and nutrients

Oh you are autistic, figures. Go drink some soylent and be a better slave to the jew, got to earn that money and spend those dollars, right?

>not caring about the taste jew makes you autistic
k

why would I want to deprive my fiancé the pleasure of cooking for me?

Spoken like someone who lives a truly miserable life.

I love cooking but my kitchen is currently a plumbing nightmare so I've been eating out till I can fix it.

This post is more full of shit than normal

Frozen vegetables are picked at peak ripeness and frozen.

'Fresh' produce is picked days, or weeks premature and allowed to ripen on the way to delivery. This is often aided with the addition of ethelyne gas to trick the produce in to ripening rather than rotting.

Appled are also often stored for months in old mines (just like your great-grandparents's root cellar) where the cool temperature prevents them from spoiling for months. Why do you thinl you can get 'fresh'apples in January?

If it's not local fresh produce, or from your own garden or at worst frozen then it's not 'fresh', or nutrient dense.

I think, I'm a really good cook, also it's not my job, I could likley open a higher class restaurant. Makeing something to eat is easy, real cooking is hard, often half a gram or five secounds too long can ruin it. I see it as a from of art.

Red meat is expensive with my budget so I learned to bake different kinds of bread. Pretty fun, I always have 5 bowls of dough sitting on top of my fridge at all times now.

I can cook. Just make chebureki last night

I own a resturant.
My best work is mille feulle sorry if wrong spell.

When I'm home I cook with my sister every night, but I'm rarely home so I just eat eggs and rice and protein shakes
I can cook, I just choose not to for convenience. I wish my friend's nip mom would teach me how to make that dank food though, shit's cash

I cook like an angel

I cook for my girlfriend all the time

R u a grill?

I'm not gay so get my girlfriend to cook

You can care about whatever you want in private, but if you think having an argument about whether or not food is important, and you think the answer is "no," then you're a fucking autistic weirdo

Are you a diaspora hohol?
Teach me how to make chebureki as well.

Just an average burger. Found the recipe on YouTube. If you want the channel I can give it to you, but it's not a cooking exclusive.

Baking bread isn't worth the effort, I do make my own food otherwise though.

Eggwash the edges before folding them then. Or use a fork to combine the dough at the edges. Or both.

Life of Boris, I'm going to assume?

i can make curries. i am basically a cooking god amongst men.

>eating frozen food tastes just as good or a little worse
wrong
Even buying the expensive frozen shit it'd never taste the same or even close to the same dish but fresh, plus its probably going to be 1-3$ more than if you just made a pot of it yourself because they obviously have to turn a profit. Literally the only upside to frozen shit is convenience.

i do, i try to tell my brother he should learn to cook, at least his own breakfast but he'd rather just get shit at McDonalds when he actually does eat breakfast
i don't get it really

Chinese can calculate the physics in their head on the fly and fold them cleanly

>he wants to spend his life slaving away and not having the simple pleasure of enjoying delicious tasting meals
autism detected
let me guess, the only thing you do in your little spare time is shitpost on pol

>Why should I waste time preparing it when ultimately taste doesn't matter and I have shit to do?
Because ultimately nothing whatsoever matters in the grand scheme of things so you should enjoy the little sliver of life you have instead of acting like being a better ant will matter.

Momento mori.
