wtf is this

>m-mommy!! mommy i-i'm trolling!!!!

>>13667724
>bring a pot of water to boil
I can just use room temperature water thanks

>Cutting anything up

Why waste the time? It's just going to get cut up when I chew it, so miss me with that gay shit.

When I watch cooking shows they add salt after every step. In some dishes it salted 5 times before being put on the plate. That shit is nuts.

U fuckin wot m8

and then they sweat a lot which further increases salt content, fucking mental

>>13668410
Don't forget to salt the buns

>>13668465
I'll salt your buns

Why do so many recipes have a fucking prologue that I have to scroll through before I can see the ingredients?

>ah, those halcyon summers on the french rivera, where the children laughed and played and the sunsets were as beautiful as a creme brulee in the sunset... [go on for 4 paragraphs]
>it's a recipe for cornbread stuffing or some shit

It's something to do with search engine optimisation.

honestly any recipe that tells me exact teaspoon measurements for spices
eyeballing it works 90% of the time

>>13668475
Google prioritizes pages with over a certain amount of words. It's gay

>>13667779

>>13668564
>Still puts clickbait shit where you have to click "Next page" practically every other word
>Shitbags still put their life story before the recipe, not after

We should start hanging software developers.

God those traditional Italian pizzas look shit, typical European slop.

This is 100% fine if you are cooking for yourself

Half spoon of kosher salt.
i am antisemitic

>>13668872
No it's not

>>13667724
Every recipe where they tell you to sauté the onions even though they'll end up being cooked with the other ingredients. I'm 100% sure nobody would taste the difference in a double
blind test.

>>13670031
Yeah I would say it's that's way for most vegetables. They just get soft in the dish anyway. It's stupid

>>13668556
I would much rather have the exact measurements and choose to disregard them if I feel the need than not have them at all and wish I did.

>>13667724
>Fry the onions for a couple of minutes until soft

Softening onions takes far longer.

>>13668872
buy a knife you cheap fuck

>>13668556
Oh you're one of those. I bet you think cooking thermometers are the devil and that salted butter is immoral

>>13667724
I am always told that adding or thinning the cheeses when cooking is bad for béchamel. When I first heard this, I was like, "Oh really? Just what did you mean by that?" Also, the time I have spent investigating this question has lead me to discover that the theory that adding "dried milk and sugar" in the pan will hasten the cooking time is nonsense and there is no way for this to occur. I will go into more detail on this shortly. It's generally true that more water will evaporate from the pan as you cook the cheese and that it will generate more heat, which will result in a faster rate of cooking.

Huh?

I cannot stand that to this day people blame everyone BUT the problem

The problem is Marketers and Ad agencies

Literally think about everything you hate

>30 second yt ads
>Ads before hulu
>Ads before news articles
>Ad blockers getting in your way
>Servers literally not existing because of ads
>Ads at your fucking gas station
>Viruses that exist literally to spam ads at you

Everyone blames everything EXCEPT the fact that marketers have TOO much money, power, and influence

>>13667724
I assume this is what jannies eat

Micro measurements in cooking makes no sense.
> 1 & 1/12 tsp of salt
Just round it the fuck up or don't do it at all
