Is it false economy to buy cheaper cuts of meat which need much longer cooking times than more expensive cuts?!
Answers:
My instinct says no - particularly if you use economical cooking methods too, such as a slow cooker, or pressure cooker, and make a large batch of e.g. stew, freezing some for another day. You can also eke out the meat content of a stew by using lots of veg in proportion to the meat, and/or lentils, pearl barley etc - healthier, and equally delicious!
Absolutely not. The less expensive cuts are far more economical even when you take into account the cooking time- unless you are comparing relatively similar prices, the cost of the energy involved will never amount to the difference in price.
I don't think so, even the amount of energy required to cook cheaper cuts of meat won't make it more expensive than buying more expensive cuts
No - as long as you cook it slowly & preferably in a casserole. Just as tasty as more expensive meat.
No, the cheap cuts are normally much much cheaper. Cooked for a long on a low heat can actually save money in energy costs.
i used to buy fresh chicken to roast but after an hour and half of gas to cook it it was worth paying the extra pound to get aredy cooked one
Think about it, if you buy a $5 piece of meat instead of $20 will you use $15 in energy to cook it.
thats good for you. So you and all the fat kids can lose weight. You should thank them if they raise food prices duh.
