Thoughts on Cooking As a MGTOW

[DDJParticipant 1880]

As a MGTOW it’s easy to eat out all the time, whether your budget only allows for fast food drive thru or a 5 star restaurant.

Cooking for one can be daunting, especially for younger MGTOW, so here’s my opinions to make the process a bit healthier and more budget conscious. Restaurant food is often a lot more calorically dense and often contains unhealthy additives that home cooked meals don’t. Just is concerning, its a lot harder on your wallet.
Feel free to add your recipes and ideas in your responses.

I own a crock pot and microwavable freezer safe food storage containers. I can make a meal in my crockpot and portion it out into 4-6 meals to freeze and microwave at a later date.

My most basic recipe is roast and vegetables.

I get a reasonable sized roast, I rub it with spices…usually Johny’s Seasoning and minced garlic (you can buy it in the large jar in the grocery store – its inexpensive), then I add cut vegetables, often this includes potatoes, a sliced onion, carrots, diced celery, and bell peppers. I add about a quarter cup of water…sprinkle oregano and thyme over the top, then sprits Worcestershire sauce over the whole thing and let it cook for about 6 hours on the low setting.

The beauty of the crock pot is that once you do the prep…it cooks the food for you while you work or while you do other things. It’s almost idiot proof.

Here’s some more resources for crock pot recipes.

I pretty much stick to anything that comes in a plastic wrap and you can heat-up in a microwave. However I’ve been thinking about getting a can opener this Christmas…

Just learn how to make chili, spaghetti and meatb~~~~ (you can just buy the meatb~~~~–turkey is good, at the supermarket), chicken curry, and various vegetables (spinach, mixed vegetables, etc., they also are in the supermarket and very easy to prepare). I use olive oil and a bit of salt for my vegetables. Curry you’ll probably need to find a get South Asian store because otherwise everything gets kind of expensive. But it seems mostly you just need chili powder, coriander, cumin and turmeric. I use a few of those in my chili recipes as well.

A rice cooker for rice and a few other things. Rice will last ages. Buy your pasta at the store as well.

Occasionally I also like to make lasagna or ziti, so you’d also want mozzarella and ricotta cheese.

Soups are good too, a slow cooker can help you with that. They last for a long time as well.

Eating great food is pretty easy. You can search most of this stuff online or preferably buy a cookbook.

Food processors save a ton of time but aren’t necessarily needed for one person, as a lot of this stuff will last you 2-3 days at a time, so you only really need to cook 2-3x a week. And at least the way I do it, you can cut up a lot of stuff while waiting for other things. Onions tend to be the trickiest just due to your eyes. But it’s probably better to cut 1-2 at a time when you need them rather than try and cut a dozen and save them for later with a food processor. But that’s up to you.

I find it really annoying and offensive when women and society act like men can’t cook. And I find it sad if MGTOW can’t cook and think that is okay and normalized.

Men invented cooking and taught it to women, not the other way around. Certainly the modern generation of women mostly can’t cook, so it will be on you as a man to learn it, and then pass it on if you so choose. But you don’t really need to spend too much time on that, it’s pretty easy and it’s something to learn as you go on.

Anyone that understood and is good with chemistry or really anything similar should have the idea down, far better than a woman could.

Invest in a slow cooker. Set it in the morning, and your food is ready when you get home from work.

Use the weekend to prepare your meals for the week. That way, you don’t have to worry about food everyday.

Get a George Foreman grill. They are life savers with many uses.

Rice and Grits are essential to any kitchen.

Hamburger and hotdogs will keep you out of the poor house LOL.

NEVER go to large supermarkets to buy your food. Always go to your local grocery stores to buy food. It is usually cheaper, and you can save more money. Usually a better product as well.

While we’re talking about supermarkets, get in touch with your local butcher and order some meat. Sliced deli meats are great for sandwiches. The butcher can also cut any portion of meat that you will want.

Make sure you get an adequate use of fruits and vegetables. Eat fruit for snacks instead of junk food, you’ll thank yourself down the road.

That’s all i got.

There is not much to learn

1. red meat and chicken breasts are the easiest to make, just fire up a pan
2. Pasta, just need to know what to put in the pot
3. In the morning – try instant oakmeal of quaker – quick and cheap and healthy

I think the problem is mostly during holidays and weekends, when you eat lunch at home, but then again pasta or meat with a salad is the easiest way to go.
Even if you were a blue pill guy, women of today don’t know anymore than you do on how to cook properly, Some of them eat like s~~~ too – I wouldn’t want anyone of them controlling my diet.

[ZarathustraParticipant 2246]

Thanks for reminding me about the slow cooker. I really need to get one. My cooking is easy I eat rice and steamed vegetables with a meat every night and just sandwiches for lunch. I am lucky because there is a Hutterite colony close to me and they sell meat in bulk, its like half the price of the super market.

[HermitParticipant]

All my recipes are at home and I don’t have a computer or internet there, but I do really like to cook. I have a crockpot, but I only use that for roasts that cook all day long. Most everything else I cook in an 8 quart stainless steel pot on the stove top. Chili, vegetable soup, spaghetti sauce……..other…… Cook up a bunch and put it in the freezer and refrigerator. I live mostly on leftovers. Also make a big meatloaf with mashed potatoes and gravy. That lasts in the fridge quite a while. Same when I grill burgers and dogs. Grill a bunch and save with the other leftovers.

I also have some Tuna Helper in the cupboard and some Rice-a-Roni. Plenty of canned vegetables there as well. Try to keep sandwich stuff around. I’d rather eat at home instead of going out, but I do enjoy eating out at least once or twice a week. Like tonight I’ll be going to a local chicken house that’s been in the area since the early 50’s. Family owned and operated the whole time. Great food and good atmosphere in the lounge area. Nice place to sit and have some drinks before you eat.

The evil in women’s hearts leaves them no moral bounds as to inhibit them from descending to the lowest levels of darkness to acquire their self entitled desires.

I second that! They are perfect for single serving type meals. Quick and very easy to use and clean.

The drawback is that the Teflon coating deteriorates after about a year and a half of regular use. The work-around for that is to just buy them from second hand stores.

I find that many people will buy a new one as a novelty and then never or very rarely use it. New (and nearly new) Foreman grills can be found in almost any second hand store and can be had for just a couple of bucks. I’ve got several of them in my kitchen. When one burns out, I just grab another off the shelf…

Stop microwaving your food!

The Dangers of Microwaves and Their Effects on Our Food

Others have already mentioned slow cookers/crock pots and “George Foreman’ grills. Let me suggest woks and heavy duty aluminum foil.

Woks are dead simple to use, cooks meat and veggies quickly, and are easy to clean. All you need is a surprisingly small amount of oil and any oil will do. You also don’t needn’t some special and pricey “Asian” cooking oils when good old EVO or peanut oil works just as well. Heat the oil to temperature, toss in the meat or fish, sear it quickly, scoop it out, toss in the veggies, do the same, and it’s all done in less than 5 minutes.

Heavy duty aluminum foil lets me cook a variety of easy “hunter’s dinners” in my oven. Meat and veggies, plus some seasonings, get wrapped in a pocket of foil, placed in a cookie sheet, and popped in the oven. Quick, fast, needs next to no monitoring, and clean up is a matter of putting the foil in the recycling bin.

Do not date. Do not impregnate. Do not co-habitate. Above all, do not marry. Reclaim and never again surrender your personal sovereignty.

I will just echo what disappeared stealthy always said:

learn to cook, … and you will live like a king.

I just received my new propane tanks for the mangrill! I love garage cooking more industrial, All I need now is a propane manburner to heat water in no time!

I like cooking! Not waiting for s~~~ to heat up or have a slab of meat cool down a pan, F~~~ that! The mangrill can fit a cowboy steak easy, possibly two! Maybe I’ll make my own dutch oven, preheat time: 2 minutes!

Betty Crocker can have the kitchen! I’ll take the garage and clean up with the power washer! Dry with an air blower! 1 minute!

[Anonymous 1]

Great topic. I started cooking last year for the first time in my life. Now the only thing I use the microwave for is to cook leftovers. Do not eat out as best as you can help it. Watch some videos and start small. Look up recipes online.

I got my cast iron pan which I use all the time. Do not get discouraged and do not worry about failing. I have had only a couple of dishes where I got over ambitious where I could not eat it. Invest in a deep freezer and some freezer paper if you can. Watch the sale ads. I got some t-bones nearby for $4.99 a lb so i brought 10 of them. had to go in the store twice. Then you see guys at work going out to eat every day while you can eat steak cheaper than what they are doing.

Last week I made the stealthy turkey. At least that is what I call it. He posted the Gorden Ramsey Christmas turkey. Gravy so good you could drink it.
Week before that Made three meat and four cheese lasagna.

Now think about what you’re eating. Don’t let ease and convenience become more important than good nutrition.

It’s simple. If it doesn’t look like that in nature….. don’t eat it.

Peace is > piece.

[foghornleghornParticipant 3449]

There are some excellent chefs and instructions on Youtube. Look up the FoodWishes channel on YouTube. The guy makes some really cool basic recipes.

I usually make a couple of dishes over the weekend and then eat it over the week. The only deviation from that is if I smoke meat mostly brisket.

If you have the space I’d suggest an offset smoker. There is nothing more satisfying that cooking meat low and slow for 12 – 14 hours.

And don’t forget dessert. Don’t be afraid to try something new. You’ll be surprised at what you can make with a little patience and trial and error.

[53ClicksUpParticipant 1345]

I also must cast a vote for the crock-pot or slow cooker as some refer to it. McCormicks makes a variety of “Slow Cooker” spice packages for everything from pot roast to chili. However one of my favorites is their Fiesta Chicken. 2 pounds of skinless and boneless chicken breasts, a regular can of corn, can of black beans (drained and rinsed) 1 or 3 can of diced tomatoes.

Pick up the spice packages first when you go shopping, then read what canned ingredients you’ll need to buy at the same time. Usually, just meat and canned veggies of one sort or another.

I pre-stage the crock pot canned veggies on the kitchen counter at night before I go to bed. Next morning just open the meat up throw it in the bottom of the crock pot, open a few cans of veggies mix with the McCormicks Slow Cooker spice pack. Pour in the mixture, turn the heat on to “Low” and head out to work and forget about it. Takes just 5 to 6 minutes to prepare in the morning. When you walk in the house that evening it smells great!

Don’t forget that your oven also has a broiler in it and you should put that to good use as well.

I’ll add that you should get a food saver vacuum sealer. I buy large pork loins, cut them into 1 inch slices, vacuum seal in bags, and freeze. Same with large packages of chicken breasts and steaks. Works well for soups, stews, etc. make a large batch of whatever you want. Portion it into plastic containers and freeze. When solid, put in vacuum bags and seal. Easily stackable in the freezer. Just set on the counter to thaw, cut the corner of the bag to pour into a bowl, and heat. I do this with my tomato basil soup and chili.

A co-worker recently told me, "If you want to see who someone really is, divorce them." I have found out how true this is. When your wife drops the façade of being the caring partner, you will witness all of the greed, hate, and spite that she has masked. It is truly breathtaking!

[DDJParticipant 1880]

Ya, vacuum sealers are great.

Every woman is a slut, if you catch her on the right day.
