Wood and stainless steel utensils are the go-to options for legit cooks who know their f*ckin' sh*t.

There are none. You literally just heat food and mix in different combinations of things. Everyone but the mentally handicap can cook food and as long as the ingredients are fresh and sound, make an acceptable meal.

I use wood for my indoor cooking and steel for my outdoor cooking. Simple as.

>>21461125
This. Not everyone has the palette/skills to be a top tier chef, but I severely question someone's upbringing/intelligence if they can't even manage making a basic meal that tastes fine. Cooking in the way most people would do at home isn't hard in the slightest. Even if you've never done it before, it only takes a week or two to get the hang of it and there's plenty of crutches these days thanks to instant thermometers and such.

Sorry if this sounds prejudiced, but having white skin is the biggest red flag. It's not their fault, most whites simply come from a culture of culinary ignorance, which makes sense since their ancestors lived in the unforgiving icy northlands, surviving on snow, dirt, tree bark, and preserved human flesh (cannibalism). They don't even understand the basics of haute cuisine, like the importance of washing chicken in dish soap, or seasoning (Lawry's).

Fortunately in America's melting pot, many whites are now slowly learning the Culinary Arts from the gastronomical masters: Blacks, Mexicans, Italians, and other POC. But let me warn my fellow brethren, if you every find yourself in an albino food desert like Finland or Wisconsin, you are well advised to pack your own lunch, because these honkeys be truly wildin, no cap.

not cooking with salt is the only non-sperg answer. i was tempted by the dull knives but i've had many meals made by cooks with dull as hell knives that were tasty. they just didn't care about cutlery.

When they NEED a recipe and follow it to-the-letter without grasping the fundamentals enough to get creative. The kind of cooklet who needs to know the exact amount of water to use in minute rice.

In the video "Gordon Ramsay Learns How To Make A Beef Rendang In Malaysia", he gets increasingly frustrated that the aunty teaching him to cook is not giving him exact measurements for all the herbs and spices. He keeps trying to mentally record the exact recipe.
Watching that video made me realize: Ramsey knows how to "chef" but he doesn't actually know how to "cook". Those are two different things. One is a business, the other is an art form

>>21461008 (OP)

I think he just didn't understand the aunty's recipe. Also, don't chefs ptsd from fucking up recipes? Like when he fucked up that pad thai and the chef got pissed off.

He knows how to cook. Have you seen the video where he makes the overly complicated grilled cheese sandwich? I mean, it's creative.

I've never seen that video. I don't watch FoodTube. However, my brother is exactly like that. He asks me it my mum how to cook X, we tell him how to cook X and he keeps asking shit like "how much is "some" wine? how much is a pinch of salt? how many are a few tomatoes? what is the exact mass of a medium onion and should that mass be considered before or after peeling and remove the core?"
Shit like that. And he's older than me by a decade. Y'know the last time I used a recipe? I was eight years old, cooking my nihonjinese aunt's corn soup.

I’m going to let all of you anons in here in on a little secret. Did you know that when niggers talk about “seasoning” they are exclusively referring to “Lawry’s Seasoned Salt?”

I’m not joking, it’s an honest to God fact. Next time you get on the subject of cooking while chatting with a nigger ask him what his favorite seasonings are to use while cooking. He’ll stare at you mouth agape before mumbling out some incoherent nigger speak like

>“mufuggah ion no not mufuggin gorton ramsay nigga nah mean I’m just usin seasoning nigga”

Niggers really have no concept of seasoning, they honestly think all flavor is derived from lawry’s seasoning salt. One time I was invited to my nigger neighbor’s 4th of July bbq. I could hardly contain my excitement because I was finally about to be enlightened by the fabled nigger BBQ, or so I thought. Imagine my disappointment when I arrived and was greeted with the following

>chicken rubbed with lawry’s seasoned salt
>ribs with dry rub of lawry’s seasoned salt
>mashed potatoes loaded with lawry’s seasoned salt
>salad garnished with lawry’s seasoned salt
>asparagus coated in so much lawry’s seasoned salt that it was entirely crystallized by the time it was done grilling
>every table had a bottle of lawry’s seasoned salt on it “to add some extra seasoning”

It was absolutely unreal. Do you know how many times I was asked to “pass the seasoning” that night? It can’t be counted on both hands. Describing the situation as Lynchian is too kind.

If you ever find yourself dating a nigger and want to impress her grill up some chicken and rub it with enough lawry’s seasoned salt to cure an entire calf. You will be amazed at her eyes light up as she takes her first bite and she showers you with compliments for “cookin’ with soul”

So what is the actual best cooking utensil material? Metal scratches and plastic usually feels cheap like it's going to melt.

>>21461015

>>21461008 (OP)

Yeah dude, the world-renowned chef, who has achieved the very best accolades in the world for cooking and running a restaurant, does not know how to cook. You cracked the nut at last. YOU figured it out. It's not that, maybe just maybe, on one occasion Ramsay fucked up, didn't get enough sleep, or was just weirdly autistic about a recipe. No, no you see, THIS means he isn't a real cook. He sucks. This ONE random, obscure, meaningless situation in all of his many tens of thousands (or more) cooking situations has damned him.

The actual truth here is you're just a loser cook that nobody cares about, and shitting on the best of the best makes you feel a bit better about yourself. No, Ramsay is not the Jesus Christ of all things cooking, he is a bit of a sell out with the frozen meals and the ton of goyslop reality shows, but the man can cook. Get a hold of yourself; straighten yourself out.

Well the biggest is them making bad food, but I'm sure that's not what you were trying to get at.
A badly maintained and badly thought out kitchen is a big one. If your knives are dull, your cutting board is some warped plastic piece of shit that doesn't sit flat, and nothing makes sense in where in the kitchen it is, then that's usually a tell that you're not passionate about it.
This can both apply to poor people kitchens where they never put in the effort, and rich people kitchens that look good but everything falls apart the second you try to actually cook something. If for example you have stuff you regularly need for cooking far away and stuff you rarely need (unplugged appliances for example) closer, I'll make assumptions about it.

using alternative fats to oil is fine, but oils themselves are fine, they all got their tastes and physical/chemical properties

rain has even more chemicals in it

might be true or false, but everything cause cancer anyway

Tefflon does cause a ton of issues that aren't just limited to cancer, they tried to keep it hidden for so long too. It's legit one of the biggest conspiracy in the world of food that is actually true and proven, sure you can cope with the fact that you just need to use a temperature and not scratch the pan, but fuck you I will not chance my cooking recipes and techniques because some chemist niggerkike want to sell me frypans coated with chemical products. You know what else I could do on my cast iron? Use butter, animal fat or oil to lube it up and it taste better. I don't need to care about scratching shit when im deglazing either

It's valid to hate chinks and their flavoring, would you cry about chinks not wanting to put salt and black pepper because they dont like it? Same thing with soy, not for estrogen but for the taste. Unami is a shitty fucking term that mean nothing, typical east-asian shit where they push some bullshit and act like their national pride is on the line at least japs are less guilty of this than the gooks. Yes it is savory, I won't fucking use some chingchong name for it even if I watch anime.

very true even more true if you live in a shithole with low food standards Japan has high standards but their deadliest food is chicken sashimi

Ketoniggers are lolcows not because they are wrong, they are right in the sense that you can get away without carbs, but they are lolcows because they proselyting about their diet fad like a cult, trying to outdo vegans in being retards.

Things can stick to it, it's more like "stick resistant" than "stick proof"
>in many applications
Some things cause more sticking on "nonstick" than others, to the point you may want to use something capable of scraping the pan off without damaging it

Plastic, silicone and stainless steel are superior materials for all cooking utensils and cookware because you can just pop them in the dishwasher.

Honestly I'd go as far as saying needing a recipe is for tiktok brained retarded zoomers and boomers. If you can't simply intuit the recipe then you're not cooking

The biggest source of microplastics in your body is textiles and it's not even close to anything else in the household.


Plastic utensils are probably fine as long as you're not using them at high temp, but I use wood or stainless steel anyway

>and nothing makes sense in where in the kitchen it is
Fuck this just makes me feel bad for my dad, he's /ck/ as fuck but has to live with my mom (who barely cooks) obsessively "organizing" the kitchen in ways that suit her incomprehensible aesthetic sense but are extremely inconvenient. A million random tchotchkes, eye-destroying clashes of different furniture styles, and mismatched paintings covering whole walls from floor to ceiling are fine but god forbid you leave salt and pepper or a nice-looking olive oil bottle on the countertop or even put it in a convenient cabinet instead of all the way at the opposite end of the kitchen.

>>21472552
Microplastics are in every part of the food chain, your water sources, and likely in the air around you, and there is literally nothing you can do to inoculate yourself fully from exposure, but sure it's da juice who are trying to make you sick via plastic utensils

If only things you are cooking are steaks and omelets then using an ancient technology is fine, but if I am making a proper meal with sauces and side-dishes on 4 burners - while cutting the ingredients as I go - then you won't find me babysitting this crap. Non-stick pan takes the charge.

Frequently eating any kind of fried food is probably cancerous and being fat is super cancerous (among other things). You don't know anything about whoever you're railing against, and you didn't address my point that it's a very weird thing to be upset with others for making improvements where they see a good risk/reward instead of going all in

>>21461046
Thank you.

>>21473295
> in case of natural disaster
> better than nothing
makes sense that a doomsday prepper has an issue with microplastics and does something redundant to fix issue for an imaginary percentage to reach an unknown goal

>>21473326
To not have important belongings and some basic supplies in something you can grab quick in case of fire or other unforeseen scenarios is retarded. It's 10-30 mins of thinking ahead that will be ready to benefit you forever.

>you can't use metal utensils because that's "slur for some kind of online gym bro" and that means if I don't use plastic utensils I will start to sun my balls as I just associated with bad group so it would make me a ball sunning naadzi

Brains overloaded on plastics produce some trippy stuff

>>21473351
well you certainly need to avoid further damage

The reason only whites don't like plastics is because they noticed brown countries are able to recycle plastic waste to turn boring colorless rivers into vibrant constellations of all colors in the rainbow. They really do hate vibrant culture.

Take me back to the indonesian plastic tofu farms

Now this is vibrancy. This is how to make use of nature in tune with the native earth spirit, who is a trans black.

My condolences to your dad anon, it's one of those things that if you don't often use the kitchen or don't enjoy doing so you just don't really see - while how a kitchen looks anyone can see.
My parents have an amazing kitchen, it's spacious, has all the appliances you could need, granite countertops, the whole story.
But everytime I visit I despise cooking in it, because the layout is such that the second more than one person is in the kitchen at the same time, you are in each others way constantly. It's horrific. Even solo the actually usable space to prep is weirdly small and in one corner (not next to the stove of course).
Their kitchen has maybe 4x the size of my shitty small apartment kitchen, yet it feels less spacious to use, it's actually impressive. Very pretty, but what good is that when it's shit to use.

>>21461118
you can say fuck or shit here anon this isnt tiktok

>>21465619
Take it with a grain of salt.

>>21473351
Sunning your balls is probably the most based thing possible, don't associate that with retards who are scared of silicone

>>21473979
>the actually usable space to prep is weirdly small and in one corner (not next to the stove of course).
What compels people to build houses this way? Even many older ones are often like this, so it's not like it's a modern doordasher problem.

>>21474889
making a good kitchen requires an experienced chef to go "I want this, and this and that, I dont care about looks I want functionality"
and you end up with a bunch of stainless steel surfaces and drawers, movable metal cabinets that are noisy to use with a ceramic floor with a built in drain
It only looks good if you understand the utility, and since women make house purchasing decisions its not a big selling point

>>21475406
Deliberately and performatively switching from modern utensils (very safe) to metal and wood is intrisically linked with antisemitic movements. We see you.

>>21474928
To be fair, I don't think utility and appearance exist on a one dimensional spectrum opposite of each other. I've seen some kitchens that looked decent or even good and were very nice to use and vice versa. It's just once you only consider one dimension to the extreme that it becomes an issue.
But as you said, appreciating utility requires some skill and experience in the subject matter which apparently many people lack.

>>21461046

This kitchen at least has a good amount of prep space, though there were some dumb decisions made - the stove is dead center of a shallow island so the prep space there is split and when you're at it the fridge is right behind you, and so on.

>>21474928
>>21475608
You can definitely have both. As mentioned my dad is a serious cook, but he also happens to be a licensed architect, and he designed the kitchen in the house I grew up in. (Pic from when it was sold last year.) It ended up being very functional while also looking good.

>>21464202
NTA. I cook with tap water, but I also have a filtered dispenser on my fridge.

>>21469561
Basically any bitter flavour, like the flavour from coffee, dark chocolate or dark beer (any stout) realy adds to the flavour of the chili, especially if you stew it.for a while. No idea how ground coffee works, I always brew a cup of coffee and pour that in there.

She has a point. Americans think you can't fry with olive oil yet it's literally all my mum and gran used in southern Italy, where I'm from. Olive oil fried eggs? Delicious. But Americans and other anglos will screech at you about smoke points if you tell them you do that.

Ever watched a recipe video on YouTube or instagram? They could be using olive oil, fresh garlic, rosemary, thyme, stock, wine, nutmeg etc. Every other comment will be "so yall don't season nothin?" Because they don't understand that food has flavor unless it's been dehydrated, ground into powder and sold in a plastic shaker.

>>21463127
>frozen vegetables
frozen vegetables are superior in a lot of cases - a lot of "fresh" veggies have spent days sitting around on boats and trucks, before making it to the store shelves where they can even more days sitting there. yes, the texture of frozen veggies is usually different but there are plenty of scenarios where they're the better choice because the end result isn't affected. they're more nutritious, generally, too.

>>21469915
works great in smokier chili, maybe not in more standard recipes

>>21481189
>a lot of "fresh" veggies have spent days sitting around on boats and trucks, before making it to the store shelves where they can even more days sitting there
those veggies spent months in or on the ground first, they are going to be fine

Wood is the healthiest option, you want to avoid plastic like the devil, not just cooking utensils but entirely in your kitchen, firstly cutting boards, secondly anything your food may touch especially if it's hot.

Silicone is fine if you aren't using it directly on hot food. Obviously stainless is best if you don't need to worry about scraping/scratching your pan.

Wood is not nearly as convenient however, but I take the little extra hassle and have for years, just like I cook with cast iron all the time (among others)

>>21461008 (OP)
You can cook when you know how to just do things without measuring stuff
>how long chicken needs to cook
>how much spice to use
>when your pan is hot enough
>how to time food to come out all ready at the same time
etc.

Also the people that somehow find free time while they're cooking to fuck off on their phone. If you can cook well you've managed the time to the point that you have little free time between actual cooking, food prep, serving and cleaning. If I see someone on their phone I get annoyed: they almost invariably burn, overcook or just miss something. Best case scenario is their kitchen is a mess at the end of it.
