      He's wrong. The worst part about cooking is only having enough food to cook one thing and messing it up so bad it's inedible. Then, you have to clean and you don't get to eat. Thankfully, the more you cook, the less that happens.

    10:33 I actually want to add onto this one as there's some advice I got from my mom as a kid that I think pertains to this: you should always make a recipe exactly as its stated until you have it down. Once you have the recipe down, that's when you should change things because you already know how it should taste and look in comparison

    • @parrot998
      @parrot998 День назад +10

      I'd also argue if you have the chemistry down, changing recipes becomes a lot more feasible. I never strictly follow a recipe if (and only if) I know all the chemical processes at hand and their effects on the final product.
      For example, if I'm making fried chicken, I'm gonna add whatever herbs and spices I want because they aren't a reactive part of the recipe, but I probably won't mess with the amount of baking soda because I know that it promotes browning by increasing the Ph of the batter and reacts with the acidity of the buttermilk which leads to a crispier cragglier crust... Knowledge of what you are actually doing on a chemical level is key to understanding what you should and should not change.
      You can trial and error your way through changes, but I generally wouldn't recommend it unless you are willing to put up with screwed up meals.

    • @onepoorguy
      @onepoorguy 21 час назад +1

      I agree. Always follow a recipe to the letter the first few times you do it. Figure out what you like, and what you don't like. Then start modifying in future cooks. Also, my mom taught me that baking is different than cooking. You can improvise a dish (steak, stew, whatever) that will be great, but if you improvise a bake (like cake), more than likely it will turn out to be inedible. Baking seems to be more precise chemistry to make it come out correctly. Mom was a great baker (but a mediocre cook).

    For the cacio e pepe question:
    Your cheese is clumping actually because the pasta water and pasta itself is too hot. Cheese melts at certain temperatures but pecorino and parmesan congeal at around 175-180 degrees F and once the cheese congeals there is no saving it. So for perfect cacio e pepe move the pasta around a ton but also use a thermometer to make sure the pasta water is at around 150-160 F, you can achieve this by putting some pasta water in a separate cup or container and letting it sit for a minute or so.

      in asia (as asian), we wash the rice because beside we always be taught to do that it's because we (kinda or the older generation) know how they grow the rice and how they process the rice. traditionally rice proceed by hit them with pestle and mortar to separate the rice and the skin (? idk in english) and sometimes it's contaminated with dirt as they usually do it around the rice field or some when the farmer drying the rice under the sun light (before they proceed the rice with pestle and mortar), they kinda touched their feet 😅. so we thought it's dirty and we wash it, wash rice become the "standard". though at same time we believe if we wash it clean (like clean, clean) we will wash the nutrients in rice, so we just gently wash the rice as "efficient" as possible. because we wash our rice and our own rice variants also make our cooked rice not mushy like western food i would say, that's also the reason why we don't really need "yesterday rice" to cook fried rice as we have naturally separated grain rice

    For the mushroom question, i worked in a kitchen for a while as a prep cook. Most of the time, we would wash our mushrooms in a bucket of ice cold water (not ice water) very quickly.

    About the chef knife Q:
    You don't _have_ to spend stupid money, but what you can get if you buy something better than a Walmart special can be nothing short of magical.
    Case in point: I got really big into sushi a few years ago, and I'm at the point now where I'd get hired as an entry-level/apprentice sushi chef in a heartbeat. (Sushi is a highly finesse-oriented food and it can be tough to get a job making it.) I grew tired of using the $100 knife set to do things and bought myself a "budget" but decently reviewed sushi filleting knife off Spamazon. Cost me $30 at the time. Just that one acquisition, and it wasn't even a pro-grade tool, made such a difference it's tough to put into words - it made the prep process so much better because it was the right tool for the job, and it opened the door to better portion control and finer granularity over the end result because it was both super sharp _and_ super _precise._ My knife skills are several kinds of atrocious compared to a pro's but those tools make a _tremendous_ difference.

    To the person asking the diet question if by any chance You read this : go Mediterranean, Cook a lot of fish and veggies. Sometimes lean meat and once a week red meat. Also include dairy products in Your diet in same amount as lean meat (like once every 2-3 days). Try to avoid sugar (but this is common to all diets e.g. sugar is bad). For time when You want to munch on something - nuts or veggies with Greek yoghurt dipping sauce.

      To expand on what the other guy said. The issue with modern eating habits is a loss of compartmentalization of treats and an infinite access to them as well as a lack of self control. And the same goes for any comfort food.
      It doesn’t help that many traditional cuisines are built around the assumption those who’re eating it are generally doing manual labor given the prevalence of carbohydrates. And well in many cases? That’s not the case in a car driven world.

    Funnily enough, on sharpening knives... Back when I was still living with my dad, we had a sharpening stone meant to sharpen the kitchen knives.
    At some point, I ordered a bunch of knives online after turning 18 (because I was able to do it then), including some bowie knife that came with a tiny little sharpening stone.
    I later used that tiny stone to sharpen a knife in the kitchen, like, a very different knife than it was designed for.
    And it worked so well apparently that my dad asked me to sharpen the knives with it. I have since moved out, quite a while ago (I'm 31 now), though I still have the tiny sharpening stone, and no joke, I actually STILL use it to sharpen my kitchen knife. I'm using singular here, because indeed, I have two knives, a larger one that I almost never use for anything, and a pretty small one that I use for literally anything. I broke off the tip, and it's quite bent, but it still gets properly sharp. I actually bought another one at some point, aiming to replace it, but the new knife just won't get or stay sharp, so despite it being the newer one, I don't use it at all, and I'm sticking with the old one. I love that one so much, if I could, I would go back and buy 10 of them and just be settled for life.

    Thank you SO MUCH for your response to question #56 which was "what is your biggest food hot take?" You mentioned something about putting hot sauce on food before even trying it being annoying. Now I know you said hot sauce but for me it's almost any dipping sauce with anything. Most of the people in my life have to have some kind of sauce with nearly everything and think I'm the weird one for not using any. If the food has a sauce made specifically for it, no problem, but if not then I'd like to actually taste it the way they felt like I should. I think most of my family and friends just never made it to adulthood as far as food goes. They all like to drown everything in ketchup or ranch.

For a single pack, in the bowl the ramen will be served in add 2tbsp peanut butter, soy sauce and hot sauce to taste, the flavor packet, and enough ramen water to make everything a paste. Drain the rest of the water and add ramen and stir to get everything coated. Did this for dinner tonight.

    When it comes to knives, my personal preference is a Mercer -- these have been the workhorse knives in a lot of restaurants for decades. They are good quality and you can get a 10" chef knife for around $20 (I caught one on sale on Amazon for $12) They work fine, sharpen well, and hold an edge pretty good - and I could go thru half a dozen (IF i needed to - which I don't) and still pay half what a lot of fancy knives cost.. Maybe if I was using a knife all day every day I'd consider a more expensive one - but, in my opinion, they're a waste of money for the average home cook
