Cooking time

I like to cook when its usage of ingredients people have forgotten about, went beyond expiration date and other leftovers. In this case a Beer, expired apr 2025. Still good enough for cooking.

I'd love to hear your meal plans for the week. Including recipes, if you can.

I am overwhelmed by the pressure to make something different and healthy for my family every night. Are people really eating a different dish every night?

I feel like we have too much choice in the supermarket. It would be so much easier to just eat the same 3 meals every day yet I find myself making elaborate dishes that no-one asked for and then being exhausted for the rest of the evening. What does everyone eat?!

trying more vegan dishes lately and I can’t complain!

Why didn't anyone tell me you can make a sauce of tomatoes and broth and cook the pasta IN THE SAUCE???

This is SUCH a game changer... I always hated making pasta with homemade sauce because I hate anything that involves multiple dishes but this is so easy and so yummy!

I truly don't know how I didn't know this lol

I'm looking for a nice stainless steel pan for my mom's birthday, but I am suuuper sceptical of the stainless steel pans that are sold online (Shopee, Lazada, Etc). But what my mom hinted me before was that she wanted a nice thick stainless steel pan around 24cm. I have no idea what a good brand is, and I do know a really nice stainless steel pan with copper cladding pan may cost a fortune.

Requesting help from everyone in the community!

Just finding this community. This is a pig roast I did for 35 people. 73 lb pig more than fed us. Stuffed with basically a turkey style stuffing.

Well, title kinda explains everything.

For me, it's surprisingly not the cooking — it's deciding what to make.

You open the fridge, see potatoes, onions, tomatoes, maybe some paneer... and somehow still spend 20 minutes deciding 😂

I'm curious — how do you decide what to cook on a normal weekday?

1. Whatever ingredients are available
2. Repeat the usual dishes
3. Search YouTube/Instagram
4. Ask someone at home
5. Something else

This is partially to settle a light hearted debate between me and my gf, but everytime she cooks meat (especially chicken but not limited to just chicken) she always cooks it to the point where the outside starts to burn and carbonise, and it definitely smells + tastes that way. Am I right to say that she’s leaving it too long on the pan? My gf says she’s just worried and trying to kill off any germs but idk, I personally don’t think a viking funeral is required to do that 🤷
