Now that’s efficiency. I usually just fall asleep listening to random and in the morning when I make my breakfast, I put on my headphones and re-listen to the same video to actually finish it.
It’d be really cool if I could have something like a sandwich maker make me eggs and bacon or scrambled eggs, without me having to monitor them, but idk about the cleaning process. For me, it’s really easy to clean the cooktop (that someone else didn’t after they were finished with it), cook, then clean my pan, plate and utensils, and the cooktop. But I waste 20 min cooking, 10 eating and another 10 cleaning.
Sandwich makers weren’t the easiest to clean when I used to have one (unless you were making just sandwiches and avoided putting in too much cheese). I wonder how well would airfried eggs come out (and how long the cleaning process). But another thing I’m struggling with where I’m at is space for kitchen appliances. I have to keep my toaster out of the kitchen and only bring it in when I want some toast.
My room mates have a pressure cooker in the dining room (since it doesn’t fit in the really small kitchen we have and barely fits there too). I sometimes use it myself, but many times we conflict when we both want to use it, so I revert to the stove (and I don’t have space to get a pressure cooker for myself). When I get to use it, it does save time, which I can dedicate to other things.
Do you have any tips of using appliances to not have to monitor the cooking process? What’s your most common foods you “automated” and make (relatively) often? Mine are stews in the pressure cooker. I sometimes use the stove, but the stove takes sooo long to cook compared to pressure cookers.
I’m mostly interested in the daily breakfast though. I don’t mind spending like 2-3 hours a week cooking once, instead of spending 30 minutes a day cooking different stuff. But breakfast is another story (I try alternating what I eat in the morning every other day).
