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.
None of that takes any serious effort. Putting together a sauce and letting simmer is 5 minutes of prep time. The cooking part is the pan sitting there simmering and you stir occasionally.
Honestly if that is a TON of work for you maybe the issue is incompetence.
I usually can’t even get all my ingredients washed, peeled and chopped in under 5 minutes. Do you just throw everything on the pan at once and that’s it?
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
