> ..how are you cooking eggs that they're done in under a minute? The only way I can think of that stands any chance is by frying, which is hardly the healthiest option. Soft-boiling an egg takes me six minutes, plus the time to heat
I've got ~5 minutes here:
Boil water in kettle ~2 minutes
Place in pan on hot ring on hob with eggs, comes to boil ~.5 minutes
Boil until cooked ~3 minutes
- add a minute or two if you prefer hard boiled
And it doesn't require you to be standing over it so if you take away the time you can be absent that's going to take you down to more like 3 minutes.
A hard boiled egg is 10min in boiling water. None of your times include: time to clean dishes, time to eat and chew solid food, time to go out to a restaurant to eat, etc.
You guys quoting "X minutes to cook food" really don't look at the big picture of all the steps that are saved by just having to drink a pre-made substance.
Dishwasher, not worth measuring. You do it when you walk back to the kitchen after the meal.
And you'd have to clean the glass from your drink anyway. Or walk back to the kitchen to throw the bottle away and then you've got the time for throwing the extra trash away.
> time to eat and chew solid food,
Not mutually exclusive with that many other things that I'd be doing at home. Hard to really count it as a loss.
