In our family I am person who cook 2-3 times a week. What I cook? 1. For example, Chicken Wash chicken pieces. Add canola oil in a pan or pot with thick bottom, heat it a while and place chicken in the pan. Add onion/garlic/herbs if you like and cook for 30-40 minutes on slow heat. Stir chicken from time to time. From that chicken you can make few different dishes: A. Chicken and rice. Wash rice 3 times in advance and leave it under water for some time. (1-3 hour), brown rice overnight. I cup of rice makes approximately 3 servings. Wash 1-2 carrots, scratch the carrot’s skin and cut them. When chicken is ready, add rice and carrot. Add water approximately 2-3 cups for each cup of rice. You have to take into account liquid that is already present in the pan/pot with chicken. You can add few garlic cloves and salt. Cook about 30 minutes on slow heat. Do not stir rice. You do not have to watch it. B. Chicken with potato. Wash potato, peel it and cut on cubes about 1/3-1/2 inch. Add to the pan with the chicken that was cooked for 30 minutes. You can add carrots as well. Stir once. In 10-15 minutes it is ready. Instead of potato, you can add mix of many different vegetables: zucchini, broccoli, cauliflower etc. You have to take into account that different vegetables required different time in cooking. So, you can add them in appropriate sequence. Instead of chicken you can use beef or pork. Remember, that you always must to wash raw meat or chicken. Someone may think, that cooking will kill all bacteria anyway, but it is not true. Some bacteria can survive water boiling temperature that is why surgeons not just boil their instruments and materials but process under high pressure to make temperature of boiling higher than 100-degree C. You can buy in Sam’s club fully cooked Angus Choice beef patties. The box cost about $15 and contains 12 patties. It seems expensive, but in a restaurant you will pay $15-$20 for one such patty. You can use frozen vegetables.
