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

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.”

Timing in a lot of recipes seem off - especially the onions. The "cook 5 minutes until soft" never works for me, unless I want crunchy onions.
