This is exactly why I have a rice cooker, instant pot and slow cooker.cooking feels like a chore most of the time, and these make it easier for me to make healthy food and not feel like a slog
Cooking is such a mood. It can be fun, and you get to eat something really fresh and hot, and just the way you like it. But sometimes the actual process is annoying, sometimes there might be a lot of waiting involved, there’s the cleanup, the prep work, stocking the ingredients, you might need specialized equipment for good results…
Stocking is the issue for me. I’d probably be more inclined to cook fun things if I happened to have the ingredients on-hand, but I’m a single dude with very few food preferences. I try to eat somewhat healthily, but I’m a lazy cook for sure.
Maybe I should find a good recipe book full of simple meals for one haha.
It also depends how much you like the activity. I’d rather do my job for 2 hours than cook for 1 hour.
