Personally for me 15-20 minutes isn't "nothing" nor is it "a lot" its not really that long but its not 15-20 minutes I would want to spend preparing food that would take me 5 minutes to eat. I would rather spend 2 minutes heating up water, pour it into the cup of noodles, wait 3 minutes while stirring, then take 5 minutes to eat it lol of course thats my opinion and a lot of people wouldn't agree with me but a lot probably would as well.

And posts that are contrary to your opinions about it shouldn't stop you from doing it, by all means do it because it definitely will help lots of people. All the purpose of this thread really is is to make sure it wouldn't be a complete waste of time and thats already been proved as a fact that it wouldn't due to all the positive feedback on it.

Just to add a comment on something else you asked, if it was in video form it would be much easier, especially considering the gaming crowd is generally 10-20 years old (lots are old/younger of course, but majority is that) which means a lot of them usually won't have as much cooking experience and if their like me they would be kind of nervous trying to cook a "big meal" for the first time, a video would help determine that the amount of each ingredient is correct, how it looks when its done, how you do certain steps, etc.

lol on that note I'm going to go cook up some ramen x..x brb
I suppose the fact that I am 25 and view such short amounts of time as "nothing" is indeed a matter of perception. I need to pitch this idea and show community interest to Gabriel though, which is the true reason for this thread.
