What are some of the better crafting recipes?
I have maxed all skills that are relevant to crafting (survival, explosives, medicine, repair, science) and I find that I don't bother at all with crafting because most recipes aren't really worth the hassle. So I was wondering, which crafting recipes do you frequently use, keeping in mind weight, availability, price and usefulness of the ingredients and the outcome? Items like the wasteland omelet are very strong, but not practical to frequently make.

Bloatfly slider, slasher and sierra madre martini come to mind when I think of crafting items that are pretty good, considering all the factors (weight, cost, availability, usefulness)

Junk rounds and poisons come to mind when I think of crafting items that are complete garbage.

Rushing water, turbo and weapon binding ritual are all good.
The ammo crafting is useful in general, bottlecap mines are nice but satchel charges are much better and easier to make.

If you have the mad bomber perk then MFC grenades are cheap and an interesting option for explosive characters, while MFC clusters are crazy strong and not difficult to make.
Nuka grenades are surprisingly spammable with the nuka chemist perk and hilariously powerful.

Desert Salad at the survival needed to make it is more powerful than a stimpak at max Medicine.

Desert salad, gecko kebabs, bitter drink, and healing poultice and/or hydra. Healing poultice is nice because you can't get addicted. Don't know why, seems like I can become easily addicted to hydra, even when not used often. Though hydra has no weight.

Hydra.
Desert salad.
Healing poultice.
Snakebite torniquet.

If you crush/talk Ulysses down, he also teaches you bitter drink.
