I'll start.
My uncle tried to make ham by boiling precut ham slices. The man is in his late 50s. Because of capitalism forcing a bunch of unpaid productive labor onto women, Men never learn how to cook

Cishet white guy life hack: learn to cook like 3 dishes decently and you can trick people into thinking you know “how to cook”
You're blowing my cover man, knock it off

Lol I did this too in college. Enchiladas, various vegetable dishes (they’re all the same ffs) and ravioli
Was the ravioli homemade with your own dough and filling or store bought dried out stuff? The answer to this question is very important to the It*lians on here
Store bought. I wouldnt want anyone to confuse me with a damn eye-talian
:agony:
But to be serious again one of my favourite things to do if I have the time or money (so never lol) is to make various raviolis or a lasagne completely from scratch. It's just very relaxing to me and it always tastes so good at the end.
Fresh pasta is OP.
also it doesn't count as cooking if it's just frozen ravioli imo
Honestly pasta in general is a good go to. Preparation is easy, it’s more about getting good ingredients (which aren’t that much more expensive than the cheapo shit) instead of just dumping cold Ragu on to undercooked store brand noddles.
Also what’s your go to veggie thing?
Some assortment of veggies and sautée them until they are melt in your mouth. It’s been a while since I’ve been single. Nowadays I just grill and my partner cooks. Like a good lesbian.
Fuck “who’s the ‘guy’ and who’s the ‘girl’” questions, it’s all about which lesbian grills and which lesbian can actually cook. (It’s my fiancee. 😔)
Yes. Also who mows the lawn
Who changes the flat tire, and who reads the manual to point out when you’re actually doing something wrong. (I know these things sometimes approach Sitcom Dad dynamics but it’s fine because my fiancee gets the bugs. 😤)
I'm in the same boat, I miss cooking.

This is secret women's knowledge you're letting out here. Every woman only knows three dishes and they're all "secret family recipes", one of which is "Make pasta from scratch" which elevates you to the status of food magus in the eyes of men.
Yeah almost literally every guy that says they "know how to cook" is this or grilled meat lol. I seriously wonder how these people survive sometimes
I make a good chili.
Also being good at making breakfast food will always make you popular with people, and it’s not that hard.
I cook completely for myself and it's always intriguing for me to meet people that can't cook some rice or pasta
I’m not a great cook but I can at least make decently healthy shit that doesn’t taste like garbage. A lot of it’s just being able to use seasoning well.
Yeah I was thinking to myself "all I do is just put a bunch of seasoning on things and it comes out good" and then I realized that's basically what "knowing how to cook" is.
No you're reminding me of that post were a person orders their spices from A-Z and they have like, three different small containers? Fuck I'm poor but even I have a full spice rack at the minimum
Rice!? Even Asians use a rice cooker!

+1 to chipotle in adobo sauce, but I also like to put just a little cocoa powder in that bad boy.

Cooking home style food well isn't difficult is thing. You literally just need to follow the recipe and understand the way in which putting in more of like 5 different ingredients impacts the food.
just get a crock pot and forget about it is my strat
If you can boil pasta and rice, slice fruits and vegetables, bake potatoes, and toss ingredients into a stew pot or frypan you are already doing better than probably a third of cishet white guys.
Really blow them away by making them easy 'foreign' dishes, everyone is surprised my honky ass can make generic Chinese food
