    I was cooking from the Packs App for the first time a couple days ago. As the curry simmered I calmly began cleaning the kitchen. I have NEVER calmly done anything while cooking, certainly not clean! I typically just stare at pots in panic waiting to see what I screw up, how did you fix me? My lovely Sorted Chefs are MAGIC! And it was delicious. Thank you for the amazing cooking help, can’t wait to make another recipe!

Other than that a simple knife is what you're going to be using for 99% of your basic home cooking, no need to spend hundreds on a few little things to help, for the number of times you're going to use a garlic press you can make do with a cheap one or none at all, I think...

      Its actually only $109 now. The cover is actually a cutting board, which magnetically attatches underneath, to the system, and the right side pulls out, so that while you're cooking you can push the scraps in to the whole, and then pull out the drawer on the right side and dispose of the scraps hopefully in to a compost. They also have an accessory that fits in the right side compartment to store knives. It can be a very useful tool. They just really did not do a great job demonstrating how to use all of its functions.

As with most of the recipe videos measuring ingredients. i.e. measure out 400 grams of plain white flour and 200 grams of bread flour then add them into a mixing bowl. Congrats, now you have three used mixing bowls lmao.
      I guess it's useful for people who aren't necessary tidy as per say or without a thought process/system in mind when they are cooking since it "forces" them to build up that habit of putting ingredients into containers when the prep is done but then again it could be easily done with a few saucers and plates/bowls.

      Onions release a chemical that is produced to stop pests attacking them when onion cells are damaged. Cutting them releases it and it evaporates hitting the surface of your eyes. so wearing glasses being taller and further away helps. But putting the onions in a fridge which is where most chefs store onions helps. The sweeter the onion the less of the chemical that induces tears. Red onions are sweeter than white. so to reduce tears use red onions chill the onion do not stand over it and cut them under an extractor fan. It is also due to the sulphur level in the soil they are grown in.. the more Sulphur they absorb the more of the chemical that makes you cry. Some areas have more Sulphur and just produce onions that make you cry more.

    I crowdfunded the PrepDeck on IGG and it's been super amazing to have as I go to conventions! I pre-prep everything in those containers for my meals, pop the whole thing in the bag and throw it in the fridge at the hotel! I usually bring my mini induction and a set of stackable utensils and I'm cooking for myself and a couple of friends in a confined space with no problems. It also helps that usually I've prepped more than just one meal's worth of ingredients (I try to stick to meals with similar ingredient profiles, but with different twists). Basically, I use what I need and the rest that's left in those containers just go in and out of the fridge until all of that particular ingredient is used. Thought I'd share how I use mine and that I do actually find it super useful in hotel rooms or in camper vans!

    At 4:05, what I see as beneficial is this: let's say you're going to have friends over and plan to cook for them, but you don't want to do all the preparation while they are there. So, you prep everything in advance, put it in boxes, and then store these in the refrigerator. This way, everything is ready. Set up the station in a spot where it's not in the way. When it's time to cook, take everything out of the fridge, place it on the station, and start cooking. This seems more organized, but it does require planning regarding what you want to cook. Alternatively, you could have a lot of boxes with various food items, so you just take out what you need. However, this method does mean more cleaning afterward - all the boxes and tools need to be cleaned, which, even with a dishwasher, uses power and therefore more electricity, impacting the environment.
    I like to do the method mentioned in the video, such as adding water to a can, like a empty can of tomato purée, to mix it and get all the remaining purée out, and then using that in the food. This way, you use everything, reducing waste. This approach could be particularly useful for people who like to be organized while cooking or for those making food videos.

    I think the big positives for the PrepDeck is space-saving and ease of tool access. All the little lids have a different tool on them -- a grater, then it clips onto the container, and you don't have shredded cheese flying everywhere (as an example).
    I like to just use bowls and separate things on my cutting board too, but right now I only have one small countertop to prep on. I just don't have enough space to use 3 bowls for ingredients AND my cutting board. That's where I think the PrepDeck shines: apartment dwellers with not a lot of kitchen space. It can live on your countertop, and when you're ready to cook, it unfurls into a cutting board (not sure I trust the board myself, it seems flimsy) but also a space to keep your prepped items. Personally, my knife skills are still slow, so to get the best out of my ingredients I do all my mise en place before I begin cooking. And that's where the PrepDeck would work well for me. Especially with my limited space, if I needed thin slices (which I'm not skilled enough to do by hand), I don't have the counter space to use a mandolin. Oh, the deck has a mandolin lid! That makes it much easier.
