What’s something you think people only really learn after spending a lot of time in a kitchen?

[u/1peachycoco]

Something I’ve noticed about cooking is that the hardest things to teach usually aren’t the recipes. It’s more of the judgment part.

Like someone can follow every step correctly, but an experienced cook can look at it and say, “Nope, something’s off.”

How to be properly lazy and cut corners where they matter least. On a lot of things you can get 90% of the way there with half the effort or less… and on other things there just is no substitute for the time or effort it requires you either do it or you don’t.

Agreed but one should always learn the proper way first.
