Besides, I am a person who likes the kitchen. I don't want to be as simple as food labels. I also want to improve and grow my cooking skills. In addition, I like my family to sit around and eat my cooking, which gives me a certain sense of accomplishment. My son is going to school this year, which is already a critical moment in senior two, so I want to cook something delicious for my son and don't want him to eat out every day. In my subconscious, only by eating at home can my son get the best nutrition and I can ensure his healthy growth. Now it's a habit for my son to eat my food. He doesn't like the food outside, and it doesn't taste as good as mine. My husband works hard every day, and I also want to let my husband who walks into the house eat my delicious food for the first time through his own cooking, so that his body will be healthier.
Cooking and eating at home, I feel that health is guaranteed. Although the dishes are also bought in the market and the seasonings are also bought back, the details of the production process, seasoning collocation and edible oil addition of each dish are under my control. This is one of the reasons why I insist on cooking at home. When eating out, many people worry that there are fake ingredients in seasonings and ingredients. In the past, many unscrupulous businessmen pursued the maximization of interests, but adulterated and cut corners in many links such as seasonings and cooking oil, and many things happened that made the people feel scared and worried. Now people's health concept is getting higher and higher. Although these adulterations are much less, the people are still very scared. I have been cooking at home for many years, and there has never been any food safety problem.
Secondly, my current job is mainly to create delicious food content and provide delicious, healthy and delicious food content for fans, so I basically don't care much about the cost of cooking. I think it doesn't matter whether the food is delicious or not, as long as the high-quality food content can be presented to the fans. Although creating food content seems like a tall thing, it actually needs to invest more time and energy. To study each dish, try to analyze the nutritional value of each dish and tell the story of each dish more touching. In addition, props should be placed to take pictures to make the dishes more attractive and readers prefer them. These all need energy and thinking, and they need continuous learning to grow. From the point of view of eating goods alone, no matter how you eat, cooking and eating outside is definitely much more expensive than at home. After all, it is a commercial activity outside, and businesses should consider profits, but it is different at home. It is much cheaper to lose rent, staff and other expenses.
The problem of raising a master can be divided into several aspects:
1, the food in the hotel tastes much better. Even professional chefs can't taste the hotel at home, mainly because of the heat and seasoning. Me too. I never cook at home. There's really no way. I really don't want to be naughty! So if you want to taste good, go to a restaurant to eat! (Fast food box lunch is another matter);
2. Although it is a little troublesome, it tastes a little bad at home, but it is healthy. Most of the dishes in restaurants are spicy, and some unscrupulous merchants use food additives illegally. Many of the oils used are genetically modified (as they are), and some small restaurants cut meat and vegetables directly without cleaning (such as eggplant, pepper and beans, all of which are meat).
3, so as long as time permits, I suggest you cook at home, save money and rest assured, health is the most important!
Coordinate a small city in the south, taking dinner for two as an example:
(? ) Eating out (sorted by frequency)
1. Order fast food in ordinary restaurants in downtown areas, and cook boiled chicken rice, roasted duck rice and barbecued pork rice within the range of 12- 18RMB, and two people will spend about 30 yuan per meal.
2. I live near a university, and sometimes I eat near the school, so there will be more choices and the price will be slightly lower. Two people spend about 25 yuan/meal.
3. The US delegation will have a meal for two people, which is generally 60 70 yuan per meal.
(? ) B Two people cook (P.S. As I have no idea about water and electricity, the following prices do not include water and electricity costs. There are also spices, so I won't count them.
It depends on what you want to eat. The cheapest combination can be scrambled eggs with tomatoes and fried cabbage, and the cost of ingredients is less than 10 yuan.
But generally speaking, I will buy more than 25 yuan.
For example, this meal:
A. The cost of a plate of fried chicken with celery and garlic seedlings is: chicken 14 yuan+celery and garlic seedlings 3 yuan+dried ginger and garlic pepper about 1 yuan+red pepper 2 yuan =20 yuan.
B: Vegetables are about 4~5 yuan.
C. Rice for two people (sometimes if you are too lazy to cook rice, you will buy a box lunch with only rice) around 3 yuan.
The finished product is as follows, and the cost is about 30 yuan ~
Another example is a plate of fried fish around 28 yuan (fish 24 yuan+fish body and ginger, onion, garlic, coriander and dried Chili are dipped in 4 yuan), and this meal is accompanied by vegetables and rice around 35 yuan ~
By the way, sometimes I make a pot of soup on a whim. For example, a pot of chicken soup with shredded bamboo, shredded chicken with shredded bamboo 15 yuan+Lentinus edodes, coix seed, American ginseng, angelica dahurica, etc. , have been well matched, and the stew seasoning 8 yuan+red dates, medlar, ginger is probably 5 yuan =28 yuan. After stewing for 2.5 hours, the finished product comes out in about 3 to 4 small bowls as follows. If you can't eat it all at once, it will be a snack ~
If it is a dinner with stew (two dishes and one soup), the cost will probably be 60 yuan.
Reiterate: the above price does not include the cost of water and electricity and the money for oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, because I can't calculate (? д? In fact, the electricity bill for washing water and stewing meat before and after cooking is really not less ~
To sum up, I don't think cooking by myself is cheap. Generally speaking, it's a little expensive. And it's not so happy to go home from work in traffic jams and then work in the vegetable market and kitchen for an hour or two hungry. But it tastes more satisfying and satisfying (? ω`? ) I don't want to waste ~ it's all CDs!
But if you are willing to eat noodles for a long time and only make low-cost side dishes such as scrambled eggs with tomatoes, you will probably save a lot of money.
After I became independent, I paid three times more respect to my mother who bought food and cooked for the whole family after work!
With the rapid development of society, many young people living in big cities are busy every day. They often work overtime, have no time to choose their own dishes and can't cook. Living in the magic capital, it is really not easy to work hard outside alone, and the pace of life is so fast, so I think eating out in big cities is more suitable for our young people now.
But if you live in a second-and third-tier city, cooking at home is really the first choice, which is both economical and affordable. How happy it is to cook at home and choose your favorite dishes, and cook and choose your favorite foods in different ways every day!
Food is the most important thing for people, and we have to face it every day.
The problem of eating, but life is like this, not just what we think, we can choose, so we must strive to be what we want, come on!
It is more convenient to eat out at work or cook by yourself, which varies from person to person.
Some people are at leisure and have no pressure. In this case, if they get off work on time and are close to home, my personal opinion suggests that they go home and cook. Although it's more troublesome than eating out, it's clean and hygienic, and at the same time, you can enjoy eating with your family.
For those people who are busy at work, stressed and away from home, it is better to go out for dinner. You can also have a certain rest time after work, so that your body and mind can rest and your work in the afternoon can be in a better state.
Personal point of view
I prefer cooking at home to eating out. I am mainly picky about food, so it is not accurate. The old man said: my mouth is awkward! For example, fried eggs should be fried on both sides and have a sugar heart; Fried fish can't see oil, but also have brittle bones and rotten meat; Love a vegetarian Buddha jumping wall, but add broth to remove the grassy smell of vegetables; Braised pork with plum vegetables is steamed and stewed with oil, and the oil should be removed repeatedly before serving; I want to drink rice oil for porridge, but I don't like rice very much. Steamed rice, japonica rice, brown rice, black rice and purple glutinous rice can all be taken at will ... When going to a restaurant, who will condone these poverty and exquisiteness (my mother's language)?
I once tried simple cooking, but it also made the waiter frown straight, and the corners of both sides bent down, which made me feel condescending. The appearance of the table can only be resigned to fate. Later, I still troubled my family and myself. First of all, food safety is guaranteed and the economic account is cost-effective. It seems complicated to buy food and cook. Just grasp the seasonality of raw materials, match the diversity and simplify cooking: just cook and stir-fry with cold sauce.
Food is the most important thing for people. Without secular fireworks, how can the seasons change? What's more, from purchasing raw materials to preparing materials for washing and cutting, from eating around the table to cleaning and sorting, three meals are like a carrier, stringing together a busy family.
I would rather eat happiness than joy.
It's safer to do it yourself
Snacks are expensive, and the cost you make will be much higher than the price of finished products outside.
Eating out is free and there are many kinds, but don't pay too much attention to hygiene.
I mean fast food. I can't stop eating at work.
But cooking and eating by yourself is really time-consuming. If you are not busy at work and have plenty of time, add something to your life. All right, do it yourself. Delicious and beautiful. You can also send friends. . . .
Objectively speaking, this problem varies from person to person. Personally, I prefer to cook by myself, which is healthy and hygienic. Mix whatever you want, and sometimes you have a whim to think about something you haven't eaten. I am very happy and tireless in the whole process. Of course, I occasionally go to restaurants to eat delicious food, and I will remember their taste. When I get home, I will try to make a similar taste while remembering. Haha, I cook with less ingredients and seasonings, so it tastes a little different from that in restaurants. After all, I am not a professional chef, so there is no comparison.
As for saving money, it's really hard to say, because the requirements of the ingredients you buy are relatively high. Many times, the cost of the same dish is even more expensive than that of the restaurant. Of course, the weight is also different. I am heavier myself.
There is another difference between cooking by yourself and eating out, that is, it is a matter of time. Do it yourself, go shopping, choose carefully, and go home and clean up. Generally speaking, it takes a lot of time from purchasing to serving. Eating in a restaurant is relatively time-saving, because the staff can't order this dish before they buy the ingredients, right? Ha ha.
Finally, if you like cooking, you can do it yourself. If it's too much trouble, you can eat in a restaurant. You can't say which is more economical. It depends on your personal choice.
Put some homemade rice and zongzi in the Dragon Boat Festival, which is a bit spicy.
