Back in 2014, I got my own apartment, and realized that I am now responsible, not only for feeding myself, but also keeping a roof over my head, I need insurance and need to pay for utilities.

I remeber that I cried a bit when my parents left after having helped me move, then I walked to the shops and bought a steak and made dinner...

If you know how to cook you're ahead of the curve.

Oh, I am lazy, but decent cook.

Lemon chicken cooked in a covered ceramic pot in the oven is peak lazy cooking, total time 2,5 hours, total time actively doing stuff in the kitchen, 30 min, taste, excellent.

total time actively doing stuff in the kitchen, 30 min

That... is not my definition of lazy.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Well, those 30 min of work gets you not only a cooked lemon chicken, but an excellent sauce and fresh rice.

Oh, and all the food can feed four people.

It sounds like a great recipe! But my idea of lazy is more like 5 min than 30.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That sounds more like reheating rather than cooking, but we probably have different standards

@stoy no, what? I mean prep time not cooking time!

The lazy way to cook a whole chicken is simply cut two lemons in half, shove them inside the chicken, pour oil over it, pierce the skin, throw it in the oven. Takes about 2 minutes prep but an hour cooking time.

It's not how I would normally cook a chicken, but I don't see spending half an hour doing proper prep as "lazy", that's all.

And yeah that was the point I was trying to make in my original comment, that your standard for laziness is not the same as mine!
