What meal do you hate to cook?

ABT's. My Wife wants me to make em for almost every social event. Not that i don't like cooking em, it's the prep that's the bummer. And I'm not talking about 10 or 15 peppers, she'll go buy a bag full...literally. It will fill up almost my entire offset and it's about six foot long.
 
I love to cook, so I can't think of anything I'd 'hate' making. What I find to be kind of frustrating, though, is building the layers of spanikopita (spinach pie) because the phyllo dough has a tendency to tear, no matter how careful you are to keep it moist with a damp towel. I usually do about seven layers on the top, and another seven layers on the bottom, so there's lots of room for frustration. :frusty:
 
I hate making the obligatory holiday hams. Everyone in my family likes when I take a precooked ham and put it in the smoker with a glaze. That is about as challenging as making a baloney sandwich but that is what they want, period.
 
I have been making a white chocolate raspberry cheesecake for about 10 years now. I used to love making them. Now I get it requested by some family member every time we have a meal. Recently, my wife has started giving them as gifts- for a future date. Probably made 15 of them between Thanksgvivng and Christmas last year.
I don't even like to eat them anymore. You know its bad when you don't want to eat cheesecake!!

I imagine that the only meal that I would hate to cook would be my last meal! :shock:


Other than that, pretty much all cooking is good by me, which is not to be confused with, goodbye me. :thumb:

Making pizza is starting to wear on me. It used to be an every Friday night thing, but we've slacked off a bit lately and the kids are NOT happy about it.

Since I make the dough from scratch every time there's the flour mess all over, the rise, more flour to roll out, and then there's slicing veg, sauce, cheese, bake....:blah:


The pie's only take about 7 or 8 minutes to actually cook, but it's a 2 hour deal it seems. Plus, we make several each time too.

It's become a real PIA. WHY did we stop just cooking frozen pizzas again? :loco:

Get the kids involved. If they are old enough to be unhappy about not getting good pizza then they are old enough to lend a hand.
 
For me it's the meal that I have to rush to prepare.

I made chili a couple of weeks ago and considering the quantity I was making it ended up being a 2 hour affair between chopping all the veggies, browning the meat, etc.

I made Hungarian Goulash about a month ago that came out good however we had company that day and I felt rushed making in...just didn't enjoy the whole experience.

In general I also do not like making a recipe for the first time. It always takes longer than anticipated (even with all the ingredients) and some recipes are so time-sensative that it's easy to overcook something.

But besides I don't really have a recipe I don't like making...I do agree on the cleanup thing though.

Don't get me wrong, I LOVE eating these chicken tenders. Probably the best I've ever had anywhere. But I do HATE making them. And I bitch and moan the whole time too!! Not that anyone in the house is listening, and nothing a shot of whiskey and a beer can't help with.

I was just razing you. I hear ya. Maybe the family needs to barter some things for u to make them.....
 
Unless I am having issues with my hands or feet, in which case I cannot cook at all comfortably, there is nothing I don't like to cook. I love frying too. The mess is what it is, I manage to make a mess doing just about anything, heck, I make a mess making tea. There just isn't anything I don't like cooking.

And I do not eat a lot of seafood, especially raw fish, but, I love preparing it for others and feeding other people is one of my great pleasures in life, so if it is for others, I am going to go for it.
 
Can't think of anything I hate to cook. And as far as cleanup............Meh. What I don't like is cooking, or should I say, preparing while my wife is home. I'd rather have the kitchen to myself and fly solo...........:plane:
 
I hate cooking frozen hamburger patties. Due to cost (when we have a big party with a lot of kids), convenience (last minute plans), or my wife's desire, I usually end up cooking these things a few times per year. They are a pain to cook as they are loaded with so much fat that they require constant tending or you'll end up with a hellacious grease fire. Even when I tend them well, they end up shrinking to the diameter of a hockey puck. I just hate the end product, compared to the handmade burgers I make from ground chuck. I know I'm comparing apples to oranges here, but it makes me mad when i have to cook those things.
