‘Labor intensiveness’ is the barometer by which you’re going? In that case, a nicely grilled, medium rare steak must be bottom of barrel crap. After all, not much other than toasting bread is as easy as that.
Certainly less labor intensive than mashed potatoes.
In other words, you’re not making much sense.
