Honestly, CURRY.
I could follow recipes all my life but I will never reach the level of the local curry place, they're just a family that runs a restaurant out of their house and is the most authentic and amazing tasting curry I've ever had and no matter what I do it's never the same.
I'm not about to spend hours making a curry when I can get the best so easily.

If fried chicken is time consuming you don't have the proper equipment or skills, or both.
If you can't make a proper dressing, wash your greens, and remember to salt and pepper your leaves before mixing your dressing and toppings in you deserve your shit salad you mongrel.

This is true.
If you have a bamboo steamer at home the freezer ones are good enough.
If I want the fancy dumplings I'll just go to a real bao shop or dim sum place. Who wants more than a couple dumplings or buns of any one flavor anyway? I'd rather have the variety and not fuck with it.

>>15665563
Fried chicken is another good one. Frying anything at home is time consuming and wasteful, but chicken takes SO long that if your temp control is not on point you've fucked it up. I can buy a whole fried chicken fresh from the grocery deli hot for like $8 and it's very good. There's no way I'd ever make fried chicken at home.
Pizza is not one of these items, though. I'm a fantastic pizzaiolo at home. Got that 2-3 day cold ferment on the dough, got my baking stone, got my peel. The dough takes maybe 10 minutes total work over a few days and then the pizza itself takes 5 minutes to assemble and 5-7 more to bake.

I make breakfast burritos every once in a while in a huge batch for all of my coworkers. Over time I’ve started to transition into making everything at home instead of buying ingredients. I make the pico, shred the hash browns and cheese myself, make my own guacamole and taco sauce, the only thing I buy packaged is the tortillas. Last time I made burritos I gave a shot at making my own tortillas but I literally never bake so they came out as chips instead of tortillas.

I highly recommend just buying tortillas unless you’re a good baker or otherwise have a reliable technique. My idea was to make tortillas larger than any kind you can buy at the store but I realized I don’t have a griddle big enough anyway, so the largest I could make would only be as big as the regular sized store bought anyway.

Yes, this is true. But even if you factor in know-how, you lose the economics of scale. You’re now buying ingredients at retail price and you have to consider your time is worth something.
And that’s the thing. When even a place like Pizza Hut runs a deal, I can get a large unlimited topping pizza for $9.99 with zero effort on my part.
I can’t make a single homemade pizza, of comparable baking quality, with any toppings I want, for that amount, without having a ton of leftover perishable ingredients.
So I can either lose money on ingredients, or I can eat pizza every day for the next two weeks; even then, I may be breaking even on ingredient cost but am consuming my own time, which I consider a cost because I’m not passionate about pizza to consider making one a labor of love.
In the end, I’m still better off buying a pizza from a place that does nothing but produce pizzas.

When you buy from pizza hut you

B. are limited to the sauce/topping options they offer
It's nothing to do with economies of scale, you utter goalpost-moving retard.
>I can’t make a single homemade pizza, of comparable baking quality, with any toppings I want, for that amount
Even if you went with all the most expensive bread flour, fresh yeast, and whole tomatoes with good cheese, you could make a pizza for under $10 easily - you could probably make two. You're bad at cooking AND bad at math.

I don’t understand why deep frying is getting so much hate. It’s really not that hard to pick up a cheap deep fryer from Walmart and google any kind of wet or dry deep frying recipe. The prep and cleanup amount to as much as any given mid-level cook’s time, dunno why people think that waiting until the oil cools and cleaning 3 bowls is as different as rigorously scrubbing 10 plates for a gourmet dish.

The thread isn't "things you hate to do" but rather things that aren't worth doing at home for the price/work. Deep frying is a lot more work while deep fried items are readily available and cheap in similar quality from restaurants or the grocery. The cost of oil and the hassle of filtering oil at home alone is enough to be prohibitive when compared with the ROI.

Well the topic of the thread was “not worth the time and effort being homemade.” So on a technical level, no, ingredient cost wasn’t mentioned.
But I’ll also correct myself; I have yet to meet anyone who brags about their homemade pizza, whose pizza I’ve actually tasted, and find it to be better than a “good” pizza place. This goes even moreso toward the double nigger I was actually responding to, who literally said his homemade pizza surpasses “wood-fired” places. Unless he owns a pizzeria-tier baking setup, that simply can’t be true.

I enjoy both cooking and financial responsibility, and wish to combine delicious food with cost effectiveness.
I also own a high-end rice cooker, and am willing to bet you’re one of those “boil it in a pot” people.
But I’ll again reiterate; you can not make a a single Pizza Hut tier pizza with unlimited toppings at a comparable price.

"Wood fired" is kind of a meme anyway, anyone can get the puffy center, crispy bottom pizza with a stone and a home oven. The type of oven is leagues less important than the recipe.
I would allege that my homemade pizzas are better than most "good pizza places." That's because I can take the time and expend the effort in one pizza to make it very good as opposed to trying to sling two dozen within the hour.

Ohh absolutely, different curries are more or less just different ratios of the same ingredients, with 1 or 2 additional.
When you're following a recipe online and find that it doesn't taste the same as restaurants, just chuck some butter into it until it does.

Store bought egg salad does not hold a candle to the homemade stuff. Mostly because the store bought stuff is mostly just the egg, mayo and maybe some black pepper. When egg salad is home made, other ingredients get added in. Personally I like adding a bit of chopped red onion, celery and pickle to the mix. It is an easy dish to make at home with common ingredients that can be easily upgraded from store level quality. It is absolutely worth making at home.

I made ramen over the christmas break. Turned out good but definately wasn't worth the ungodly amount of prep and I hadn't even contemplated making my own noodles on top of everything else.

You're doing it wrong if your stew takes more effort than cutting up the ingredients and adjusting it every so often.

Artichoke...well anything, but namely the hearts. Why the fuck they even sell fresh ones is beyond me. They take so much work to make edible and the hearts are so tiny you nee to buy like 5 to even get enough to use anything when you can legit buy a jar full of them is a mystery I'll never find out.

came here to say yogurt
i assume it's just the quality of milk available here but i've yet to make a batch of yogurt that didn't taste off. then by the time you're strained it to your desired thickness you've already spent $5+ on milk and a day and a half of passive preparation for the same yield and low-quality product.
still want to perfect making yogurt at home one day, seems like a satisfying and fun task to have in rotation like baking bread or making pickles
