Making one of your grandmother's recipes taste the same as it did when you were growing up

>>9918531
No, because you can't learn from your mistakes.

>>9918537
Whelp.

There we go.

Croissants from scratch

Steak. It has a hard learning curve that ranges from inedible shoe leather to king of meats and is extremely easy to fuck up if you don't pay attention.

>>9918537
Fucking this. Or your mother's for that matter.

Churros

whole roast turkey
cooked all the way through without the outside going dry

>>9918624
My mom could barely betty crocker, so idk what the fuck you're talking about.

take a really difficult recipe with a lot of convoluted steps
and then make an easier much less complex version of it so it appeals to a casual diner

>>9918662
I think he's referring to his own mother.

>>9918599
In what world is learning to cook a steak hard? It's like 2 steps.

>>9918537
Why do you do this to me anon?

>>9918680
I think his point is that it's easy to learn how to make a shitty or mediocre steak, but making an excellent steak takes experience to do.

>>9918654
Cooked a 28 pound bird on christmas. Mixed all the seasoning I was going to use with soft butter then just massaged the entire thing. Threw some apple, onion, and lemon inside it followed by half a bottle of red wine. Halfway through cooking added more wine.
It was incredible

>>9918680
I get what he's trying to say, if you're not careful or you don't cook it a lot it's very easy for a steak to be overdone. The finger test only gets you so far.

>>9918693
Did wine go into the cavity or did you just baste the outside with it?

Emulsions, laminated doughs, shaping fresh pasta, steaming milk/latte art, piping bag skills, deboning skills, stock making (most people treat the stock pot like a garbage can and don’t understand the nuances of clarity and flavor), sauce making, knife sharpening, kitchen twine work, some egg white leavened items, tournes

Kitchen difficulty scale

God-tier
>Fine pastry
>Advanced butchery
>Properly shaping dough

Hard-tier
>basic butchery
>foams and emulsions
>making and controlling fires

Mid-tier
>poaching
>protein cookery
>knife skills

Easy-tier
>most of basic savory cooking

>>9918720
1/2 bottle in the duke prior to cooking, second round when it hit about 130 i'd say about 1/4 in the caboose and then 1/4 over the top

I tried making french macaroons once and failed completely.

I dunno, I cooked a picanha cut steak over a poorly made campfire medium rare with almost no experience

>>9918624
Why would I want to recreate those horrible recipes?

>>9918470
Fondant

>Dark souls is le hard

>>9918537
hello rreddit

being good at a videogame is like being good at sucking your own dick. either way, you're gay.

>>9918662
How are you this stupid?

>>9918537
I do that with chicken and dumplings actually... And i think Dark Souls is decently easy.

>>9918470

>>9918470
Risotto. Thousands of ways to do it, but getting that consistency just right is a pain in the ass, and if you fail, you've thrown away half an hour of your life.

>>9918470
I hear tail that it's blowfish.
But I'd say Ortolan. Look it up and visit the Cracked most cruel foods article and just give that a scimmy, that'll give you an idea.

>>9919665
I've never understood what's the point of drowning the bird. Couldn't you just pump it full of brandy after killing it?

>>9919677
Nigger, I don't drown birds for on a daily basis. I can't give you an accurate answer.

>>9918701
What's a finger test? I was raised on burnt steak so its the only steak I like now. Though its hard to burn it just the right way like my mother used too. Rather strange. Seems you need even experience to fuck it up

>>9918470
Dark Souls isn't hard.

Did you actually just tell someone to go to Cracked? Why? Is this some sort of shitpost?

>>9918470
Souffle?

>>9918470
Omelettes and salads (mixed and composed).
The simplest and freshest recipes are the most difficult ones to perfect.

>>9918470
Fish can be a bit tricky to get right. Most of them are very easy to overcook.

>>9918734
Good post

A lot of French food and technique is hard to master.

>>9918531
You died.

I've heard some Chinese dishes like abalone and sea cucumber are difficult to prepare well

I dunno about the Dark Souls of cooking, but the DS3 would be any dish with teleporting dogs in the ingredients.

>>9918624
moms can't cook for shit

grandmas are where it's at

>>9918470
The obvious ones in terms of technical difficulty are stuff like macarons, choc tempering, and white based foams and mirangues for pastry, and fish/primal meat butchery, intricate knife work (japanese stuff like katsuramuki or french tournéeing), complex sauces using volatile ingredients (fish/herb/game stocks), but also modern techniques like hydrocolloid emulsions, gels, spheres, foams and shit can be very hard to develop recipes for
>>9919813
This is also the case, you'd be surprised how few cooks can't cook a decent omlet to save their lives, even in fine dining. Eggs generally are a good indicator of raw ability and understanding of the intricacies of cooking.>>9919918

>>9921684
the unironic best omelette of my life was from a greasy diner, i guarantee that whatever illegal immigrant made it had no grasp of the art of French cooking but it was still ten times better than omelettes I've had from actual restaurants.

Recreating a dish from home in a different country.

>>9918470
>Post the recipe and it's difficulty level.

If you don't mean to say "IT IS" then it's ITS and not IT'S.

>>9918599
the only learning curve for steak is not panicking when it starts to smoke during a reverse sear.

nothing in cooking is particularly difficult until there's money on the line AKA until you're churning it out for a restaurant. I guess butchering whole birds can be intimidating but worst fucking scenario you just pull up a video on YT before you start and play it in slow motion so you can follow along.

>>9918734
Emulsions are the only thing I struggle with here because I don't like fiddling with a sauce cooking it down and shit.

>>9921913
No one cares faggot kys

>>9919665
>not wanting to be drowned in cognac and eaten alive
Are you even /ck/?

>>9921919
Apparently you cared enough to post that.

>>9921792
It's called possessive form you retard

>>9921931
That faggot argument doesn't make sense

>>9921963
the possessive is simply "its" with no apostrophe
apostrophe in "its" turns it into "it is" as a contraction, the other genitive forms "his" and "her" do not become "hi's" or "he'r"
adding an apostrophe to "its" when you don't mean "it is" is simply hyper-correction and is grammatically incorrect

>>9922011
Not using capital letters is also grammatically incorrect. So why don't you do everyone a favour and kys?

>>9921826
I have feet for hands and I find stuff like pleating crusts and stuffing delicate things like tomatoes difficult.

>>9918662
>>9919050

Sorry you both had mom's who were failures at cooking.

>>9921997
You were triggered enough to shit on me, therefore you cared.

>>9922038
Oh I'm sorry, my dear Baby Boy.
Don't like getting called out?

>>9922118
I told you no one cares about what you have to say. Me telling you that does not mean I care about what you have to say. Why would it? Pathetic reditor response same thing every time you idiots parrot the same shot constantly even though what you say is meaningless. Tell me where you live so I can cut your throat out.
