Have you never had paella?

Just put the saffron in when you cook rice. You can do many other things similar to this.

What the fuck is paella?

Clearly you have the internet, I'm not holding your hand.

Make biryani with it. Use it in curries, soups and stews.Just treat it like a more versatile bay leaf. You're gonna want to use more saffron than you think though since it has a very mild profile. It is very good.

Saffron is mostly used for savory dishes, often with rice. Near Eastern cuisine uses it a lot, especially in Iran and India. Tahdig is a Persian crispy rice with saffron. Different pilafs and biryanis also use saffron. You can also use saffron in rice pudding or kheer.

Look up for persian recipes. Like fesenjan, tah-chin or kashk-e bademjan. I also used it for a sauce to go with scallops (scallop coral mixed with crème fraiche and then cookee with tomatoes, butter and saffron)

While doing some research a few years ago it seems that Tahdig is simply the name of the rice which stuck at the bottom of the pot when you cook it persian style. I would recommend looking about it as it goes well with the fesenjan.

Is it efficient, I like to do it with cardamom but I feel like I would need too much saffron for it to work as most of it will go with the water.
It might also be that you cook rice pilaf style in which way it would make much more sense
