It takes 5-15 minutes to prepare whatever you’re cooking. It takes an hour or two for it to sit in the oven while you don’t do anything other then wait for it to cook. It takes 5 minutes to wash everything after.
You spent 20 minutes actually doing anything and there’s 16 hours in a day. Boo fucking hoo.
I cook damn near every night and I’d like to think my food is decent, not amazing but decent. I’m not making my own sauces but will do lots of searing the meat on a cast iron and then throw in the oven while the vegetables are being steamed.
Takes about 30-40 minutes and 10 minutes to clean dishes.
The only way I’m cooking for 2 hours is if it’s a weekend and I’m batch cooking for lunch meals.
If you’re cooking every meal with homemade sauces to simmer, that is great but your standards are higher than most people.
To be fair, I don’t take 2 hours every time to simmer, I was just pissed off at the guy who says cooking takes less than 5 minutes. I do usually try to make some sauce for most things, but it’s nothing too fancy. It’s either that or fries and some sort of meat in the oven which does indeed take less than 5 minutes - but makes me feel like a lazy piece of shit every time, so I don’t do it too often.
Thing is, I grew up with my mom being stay-at-home and we didn’t have all that much money. So she always made the best of what she had, and when things started getting better financially, well, she still cooked every night, except now she had more money for more and higher quality ingredients. So I’m really spoiled when it comes to food.

Do you exclusively cook meals that go in the oven and that’s it? No sauces to simmer, etc?
I think if I’m ever staying at your house, I’m ordering McDonalds lmao
