If it involves heating food on the stove top or the oven, I'd call it cooking. Find me a child that can make either the bread or jelly without that. I'll wait.
This generally goes against man code.
Section 6, Subsection 5, Paragraph 6 states:
Pb&j uses one knife that is to be left on the edge of the sink, in case oneself should decide that another sandwich is desired. The “time of leaving” for the knife is at least one hour, but has no defined upper bound, unless acted upon by another section of this code.
i've recently introduced a new rule for myself - i'm only ever to have one plate, one bowl, one mug, one set of cutlery, up to 2 kitchen knives & 2 pots/pans dirt at a time. if i want to cook more and my usual set is dirty? well, gotta clean them first (though this has also helped me get in the habit of cleaning right after i'm done, so i don't spend time hungrily waiting for the crusty pans to soak)
honestly, this has been working great for me. the huge pile of dirty plates and cutlery at the end of the week? no longer a problem, no longer a daunting task, because it no longer exists! there's one working set, and that's it
this also allows me to enjoy my favourite mug all the time instead of once a week :3

this is why leftovers are the greatest of meals
no pots and pans; no kitchen clean up

That’s why I don’t do them. As an added bonus, each new meal is pre-seasoned.

To make a pb & j from scratch, first you must create the universe.

The knive must also be cleaned from any Pb&J residues with a paper towel so it can be reused later for other food stuffs.

Man I’m so sleep deprived I read that as peanut butty and jeller and thought I was missing something
TehBamski@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 218d
Hahaha. You were missing something. The timeline where that's what we call a PB&J. All plausible.

Why (and how to) cook a PB&J?
cRazi_man@europe.pub · 6 pts · 218d
Can making a peanut butter and jelly sandwich really be called "cooking"?
Rusty@lemmy.ca · 6 pts · 218d
If you make your own peanut butter, jelly and bread, yes.

I can't stand dishes so much anymore that I just let the pots I used to cook cool while I'm eating dinner, then just throw them in the fridge.
I usually eat the leftovers within the following 1-2 days, and I have less dishes because I'm not using containers.

I invented that. Look forward to a cease and desist from my legal team.

Well, theres your problem. Youre not supposed to cook pb&j, youre supposed to eat it raw

If you toasted that pbj and added gureyer cheese and dragon bacon....it was worth it.

I'm not a fan of peanut butter with jelly, but next time I have some pound cake I'll grill it with some jelly strawberry jelly

Jelly is awful. Jam or preserves or just sliced fruit is far better. Jelly is artificial bullshit, and you can tell it I said so.
AndyMFK@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 5 pts · 218d
Wait I assumed what Americans call jelly IS jam? Wtf is jelly if that's not the case?
faythofdragons@slrpnk.net · 3 pts · 218d
In the US, jelly is pectin-thickened juice but jam leaves the fruit puree in it.
Edit: Jelly is also a thicker gel texture, and jam is still quite loose.
