my mom didn't wash anything she uses until literally every single plate, pot, pan, fork etc is dirty and piled in a disgusting filthy sink. she leaves any leftover food rotting on the counter for weeks instead of simply throwing it away. it's fucking disgusting.
cooking wise she dumps sugar into everything. I was cooking at a family get together and she poured like a cup of sugar into the water after i begged her not to so I just went home and told her to cool shit herself then. she does the same shit with pretty much anything that boils in water, any kind of pasta sauce, etc.

Act like a child, and you will be treated like one. The core problem is not that with your parents cooking, it is the self imposed growth stunting you all suffer from. It is clear you yearn to be free and independant, so you should man up and depart and start to walk the path alone.

I used to make pulled pork, brisket and soups and stuff in a pressure cooker. I'd keep it on the warm setting so there's a nice hot meal ready to eat whenever.

Not autistic at all, although it has to be gradually colder water - you need to start hot.
1) it washes away starch from betwixt the pasta.
2) it cools and hardens the pasta.
3) it brings the plate to an adequate temperature after tje sauce is added.

It makes long and/or flat pasta not feel like hot, freshly extracted nematodes or tapeworms in a hearty pesto sauce.

Not many people are this autistic about pasta, different brands take different time as well as the amount of pasta in the water matters too.
If you are consistent with your ingredients then yeah go for it but most people I would assume buy whatever brand of pasta that's on sale so it would be easier to just rinse it slightly after cooking.

If the pot is at less than a rolling boil (like if you're simmering), the temperature is actually slightly less than 100 degrees Celcius (assuming 1 atm pressure). A small amount of particles gain enough energy to undergo a phase transition regardless of temperature; raising the temperature increases the proportion of particles with enough energy. Temperature is directly proportional to the AVERAGE kinetic energy of particles, after all. The not-rolling boils do create bubbles because a lot more particles are undergoing phase transitions, but the average particle still misses the mark.

The discussion was broadly about the notion that you had to watch the stove. Obviously something like a roast doesn't apply here, since you'd want to do that in the oven. The synthesis is that hours-long, hands-off stuff like stocks and stews can be moved into the oven once hot, treating it like a Crock-Pot.

I don't follow this rule because I'm lazy and a retard, and I'm not totally comfortable putting something in the oven without knowing the right settings like I do with my stove, but it's not that hard to understand. Your stove top does present more of a threat of accidents than the oven does.

I know I tend to just cook for myself, but the reason you might be there to watch the stove is because you are preparing more than one dish at the same time. I always think about this when I have to wait. Particularly when using the oven to heat something over a long time, it's easy to set a side dish in there too. It makes sense to cook this way, we just don't have that many mouths to feed to justify it.

I really, really can't sympathize if you think this rule sounds pointless or difficult. It does make sense, even if it's not what you do.

You're a complete retard. My point ultimately wasn't even talking about roast. Stocks, broth, boiling water, anything simmered or hell, anything that takes longer than like 7 minutes. Yes, you probably shouldnt just leave shit thats supposed to be stirred constantly or flipped in 2 minutes, but it's dumb to say that you should indefinitely stand there with few exceptions. That's literally part of being a shitty cook. It's not a rule if half the time it's stupid as fuck to follow.

I'm sure there's no point in explaining this, but the issue is with having an open flame unattended. This is considered bad in any context since it can spread. The alternative is to move long-term dishes into the oven to simmer, which is not a difficult compromise to make.

No shit, jackass. I never said you were. You gave it as an off-hand example, and I explained how the example works following the logic of the other side. If you're so confused about what was being discussed, maybe you should scroll up.

People's issue with this so-called "safety rule" is that you can't watch your cooking for the literally hours some things take (specifically, soup). Obviously leaving to use the bathroom isn't a big fucking deal, you mongoloid. This "rule" is ancient and their ancient solution to slow cooking is to put it in the oven to simmer, instead of on the stove, which is specifically what you asked about.

Only my father's side of the family cooks very well because they used to live in the Dutch East Indies. I have nudged my fiancée in the way of spices and herbs and she recently bought a cooking book to make things from scrat. I had to intervene, I become borderline depressive when I get the standard briefly boiled potatoes (just peeled and boiled that's it) boiled green beans (of course also half raw because 'otherwise the vitamins escape') and a burned ready-bought meme schnitzel with disgusting sauce/cheese in it (breading burnt black). I was honestly shocked when I realised this is an actual meal for people. I'd rather just eat bread or go to bed hungry.

Also she leaves absolutely everything wet as fuck, simmering/reducing is unheard of. Like, literally pour sauce over your pasta, the vegetables (raw) remain on top and tomato water just runs through the spaghetti. Her lasagna is basically soup. Few things are more disgusting than having to scoop up some tomato water with a few (raw, hard) plates of lasagne floating in it. I literally told her like 4 times she has to pre boil them. "But the package says I don't have to", yeah that's why I'm chewing on armour plates.

Needless to say, I try to cook as often as possible. There is improvement though, but it's slow.

I live 20 minutes from the Mexican border, and every “authentic” taqueria I’ve been to been to uses salsa blanco on fish tacos, which usually consists of a slurry of sour cream, mayonnaise and lime. Fucking disgusting. Actually pretty similar to tartar sauce.

Also non-fried fish in a fish taco is pretty autistic.

You leave the pasta just slightly under al dente and then toss it in the sauce. It still cooks slightly in the sauce and the starch in the pasta helps the sauce stick to the pasta. You have to serve it immediately before it gets soggy.
If you rinse the pasta then the sauce won't stick and you will have a pool of sauce even after you've eaten all the pasta. This is one of the most basic pasta cooking rules.

>Well all tools are gonna break at some point so I might as well buy these cheap ones
>Channel locks bend
>Side cutter/pliers have huge chunks taken out of them from cutting wire
>Side cutters have bent handles
>Drills fall apart after a year
Meanwhile all my Milwaukee drills are still going strong after over a year of construction work and I use my Klein Linemans like a fucking sledge hammer and have no problem.
