    For me personally, literally all cooking. If it’s more complex than boiling pasta or using an air fryer, I’m useless at it.

    And I find it so hard to motivate myself to get better because I often fuck up and have to throw out food when I try something new in the kitchen. Plus I’m usually cooking because I’m actually hungry and want to eat, so that risk factor of knowing I might need to start over and make something else if I screw up isn’t something I want to deal with.

      Try stir fry.

      Chop veggies, or if you’re lazy get one of those party trays of pre-chopped veggies. Throw in frying pan with oil. Continually taste test for doneness (helps with hunger). Broccoli might need to be steamed (cover the pan for a minute or so until it’s bright green). Then season with whatever. You can buy pre-mixed seasoning.

      Do the protein separately. Cube chicken or pork and fry until it’s not raw. Or just toss it on a George Foreman and cube after.

      Rice in a rice cooker.

      Presto.
