I hate when I see a video going “here is my go-to lazy meal for when I’m totally beat” and the first thing they do is start chopping an onion.
A lazy meal is a bag of beige crap from the freezer, dumped into an oven tray and left for 20 minutes on gas mark 8. If it’s more effort than that, you can stick it.
it’s like when someone uploads a video of “cheap diy project” and half the materials is a couple hundred dollars of stuff they already own from previous projects. or “cheap optiplex gaming pc” and the gpu is a rtx 3090 nvidia gave them for free for being a tech youtuber.
I buy frozen chopped onions and pepper and onion mix because I fucking hate chopping. Admittedly, the peppers aren’t as good vs fresh, but I will deal with subpar peppers to not have to chop anything. I will say, one annoying thing is fewer and fewer grocery stores stock frozen chopped onions, likely due to lower margins because they are usually dirt cheap, like $1/ bag.

Oven? Why be such an overachiever? If it requires more than 1 button press on the microwave I’m just gonna eat it cold.

Word to your mother.
If you get used to cooking chopping an onion isn’t work.
That depends. Saying that as someone who trained as a chef. There are levels of exhaustion.
Agreed. I cook every single meal my family eats, one onion is under 30 seconds of faff. Even thin-sliced.
