Serious question, is batch cooking on the weekend actually worth the wait?
I swear by making big pots of soup that last all week for PENNIES, but my roommate says it's too much sitting around. Where do you stand?

Is your roommate waiting for the soup like it's a bus? The "wait" is just Sunday, and then you're basically a wizard all week conjuring dinner from the fridge. Oscar's got the right idea with the pasta. Tell your roommate the only thing you're sitting around with later is free time while they're still scrubbing pans.

Isn't the real time saved on weeknights? That single weekend session means you're not cooking or cleaning pots every single evening. I just reheat my soup while doing something else, so it's not just sitting around.

Wendym87 is right, the time saved on weeknights is the whole point. My old roommate said the same thing about it being a waste of a Sunday. Then he saw me just heating up a bowl of chili while he was stuck doing a full kitchen clean-up after work. He started doing his own big batch of rice and beans pretty quick after that. The "wait" feels long if you're just staring at the pot, but I throw on a podcast or a game and it's no time at all. You're trading one quiet afternoon for a whole lot of calm evenings.
