What is your least favorite cooking chore?

I genuinely hate washing rice. It is such a hassle.

Chopping. I'm always afraid I'm going to cut my finger off.

I can handle chopping but not PEELING, I've never cut myself chopping but I have cut myself with the vegetable peeler.

Chopping onions and dealing with raw meat.

Washing and drying chicken. And pounding it flat if it’s chicken breasts. I have my husband help me. I’ll wash and kinda dry, he finishes drying and flattens it. Then I cook it.

Washing chicken just spreads germs.

It also washes away all the slimy stuff they package with the chicken. That stuff is mix of random bullshit that could be ox blood, soap, algae, or literally hundreds of other things. Wash your chicken.

Where do you live that your chicken is packaged with soap or algae or blood from another animal???

Re: What is your least favorite cooking chore?

Places where it’s allowed include (but is not limited to) Canada, US, England, Wales, and Northern Ireland.

I should mention the US is the only one who allows the algae. And the FDA now requires it to be labeled on the package as carrageenan if it makes up like 10% of the preservative solution.

Well, I'm glad I don't live in any of those places! I'm in Australian and buy chlorine-free chicken and from the butcher, not the supermarket. But even in the supermarket, the most they're allowed to add is saline. And if it's chlorine treated, you can't get that off by washing.

in what country (serious question)?? in the US chicken is prepped before packaging so anything you think you're "washing" is just pure salmonella juice splashing all over your kitchen. in other countries, yeah, would not be surprised if the processing itself is contaminated. also if your chicken is fresh from the backyard or the butcher, clearly that's when washing is necessary. older adults (like my 70yo parents) grew up washing when it was butcher-fresh and never got out of the habit, but it's no longer necessary.

In the US if it isn’t from your backyard you need to wash it. Have you really never noticed anything else in the package? Or noticed the smell from the package after it’s been in the trash a day or two?

You can easily wash chicken without “splashing salmonella around your kitchen.” They make these things called bowls if you’re unable to use your sink without splashing everywhere.

DA

It's not a skill issue with the sink; holding meat under running water will create invisible droplets that splatter around whether you see a visible splash or not.

Cooking in general. I meal prep every Sunday morning so I only have to reheat during the week. I tell people it's because I make healthier food choices when I do this (and I do, it isn't a lie) but it's really because then I only have to cook once a week instead of every day.

(I was always told I'd like cooking once I knew how. Well. I'm 40 now and I know how to cook. I still loathe it.)

And that is why I don't wash my rice.

I hate cleaning up after. All the dishes and mess and putting things away. It's just awful.

+infinity for hating cleanup. For the cooking itself, there's nothing I dislike that much!

Yeah, I enjoy the process of creating, its just the mess after that annoys me. Its the same with art or crafts.

peeling and mincing fresh ginger. most of my Japanese and Sichuan cuisine are better for fresh ginger but holy god what a pain in the ass even using the spoon trick.

at least I gave up and use jarred garlic mince now, ain't nobody got time for peeling sticky garlic.

if you just want the zing of fresh ginger in the sauce and don't care about the little chunks, keep your ginger in the freezer and then grate it into whatever using a little handheld cheese grater or microplane

it's still better if you peel it but when it's frozen it's pretty easy to just use a potato peeler

Cleaning up and chopping onions

cleaning a lot of kinds of fresh seafood. especially squid. I love eating calamari but cleaning the little buggers is really gross.

Chopping. I'm terrible with my hands. Half the time I end up cutting myself at least once.

Peeling garlic. I use a lot of garlic in my cooking, and I smash each clove with the flat of the knife so that the peel comes off faster and easier, but it's still a pain in the ass. Especially when you end up with those heads of garlic with tiiiiiny cloves. I hate that. :(

Cleaning and washing up everything once everything's cooked.
