ITT: Signs you can't cook

[Anonymous No.15724293]

If you need a 'special' knife at all you're a cooklet
I've had the same three knives for 5 years got it at a garage sale dont even know the brand. Dont care. Cuts like a knife

[Anonymous No.15724391]

I'm a firm believer that if you don't have the right tools, you can't get the job done it's supposed too. But if you can cook with those, then thats fine

I believe any knife over 2-3 dollars is a waste. learn to cook, the fundamentals first. I used to cook with a rusty potato peeler in my dads shed

Like I said learn the fundamentals, cooklets. Presentation barely matters. Don't need a shiny knife to cut your ingredients. My dad used to drink and I'd cook before he came home and made me play "helicopter" with the dog (it nearly bashed its skull in when he missed his throw one time). cook practically cook well

It was where hed grab my dog by its back legs and start spinning around making helicopter noises, and then throw it across the room telling me to "go fetch the helicopter".

[Anonymous No.15725654]

>>15724293
I mean I’m all for not overspending on useless junk but a solid knife is not one of those things.

A very good 8inch chefs knife and paring knife will run you like $70, or you can buy used ones from a goodwill or thrift store for sub $20. A combo whetstone will run you maybe another $20.

Your 3 fucked up toe knives look like a nightmare to prep with. Why not spend a tiny amount of money to buy a decent knife or two and something to maintain them with.

If you are a professional then yes, knives matters.
If you use a knife for 10 minutes a day to cook dinner then in almost every situation, a cheap serrated knife will do the job and anything more than a small fruit knife, a bread knife, and a few different sizes of regular knives and a simple manual sharpener will do the job.

[Anonymous No.15728999]

The issue here is your definition of cook well. I'm sure you can make something edible with a rusty spatula; that doesn't mean your vegetables will all be cooked uniformly as they're diced to mm precision, your herbs won't be bruised to shit and your meat won't be torn to shreds as you hack your way through it.

Presentation isn't everything, I half agree with you that something ugly can be delicious, but the reason for proper cooking techniques isn't just about appearance. You're a cooking midwit at absolute best.

more like signs you don't cook. I'm sure those knives are fine for cutting your grilled cheese, or cutting your apples so they dont hurt your teeth.
When you're ready to cook like a grown up maybe you can ask for a bigger knife, but only if you promise you'll be careful and treat it nice. Best of luck anon. Chop a vegetable or something and see how much time you'll save by making a 10 dollar investment.

This is to all of you cooklets who think a steak knife is suitable for everything you'll run into and then only cook once a month and its eggs cause it takes hours to do anything with your stupid "budget chad knife". This is unironically what all of you with one shitty ass knife do. You probably cook a total of 4 dishes using the same or similar ingredients, spend more on beer each month than your entire kitchen combined, takes you forever to cook them, you have tons of waste and most of all it probably tastes like shit because you can't cut properly or efficiently without spending your precious free time while pretending like it's worth it to not have to spend half an hours wage on something that would consistently save time and money. Let me guess, most your assets are in cash too?

Take a long look at your lives and change it for the better. even if its just a little

Get a mercer renaissance or victoranox chef knife or grab a santoku/bunka of the same brand or go to China Town and get a thin and thick cleaver.
If you really want Japanese just make sure you can care for them and know what food you can cut with the knife you pick because almost no Javanese knife is good for boning or scraping bones.
Just grab a $5 victoranox petty and a decide on if you want a stone a dimond rod or a automatic sharpener.

Serrated knives are a poor choice for almost every type of food, particularly in prep/raw food. A strong backed sharp knife (chef's knife style is typically used) will provide cleaner and more stable cuts on almost everything you will regularly prepare. The only serrated knife I really appreciate is for bread.

Knife I use is from the 80s. It's one that stores in a sharpener. Blade is getting shin enough I've looked at new ones but they don't feel right since the blade sticks out deeper than the handle. Guarantee if I buy one it will end up having no tang and being garbage in 5 years.
