I know it's an unpopular opinion on /ck/ but I like his philosophy about learning to cook intuitively by feel instead of relying on so many tools (e.g., learning the doneness of a steak without some expensive set of thermometers) and the idea that if you're cooking for yourself there's no need to stress so much over making everything look perfect as long as it tastes good.

How's that a philosophy? People usually do things intuitively, it's in the word's definition. And who needs to be taught that you don't have to make food that you're not instagramming, instagrammable?
Unless he's working at a rehab center for internet addicted retards, I don't see the value in teaching people not to do the things they never really do.

People very often get caught up in over-complicating cooking. Go look how many "cook a perfect steak" videos are out there which call for all these thermometers and probes as you put the meat from the stove to the oven and back. Adam's steak-cooking tutorial is about learning what a steak literally just feels like with your finger when it goes from raw to done.
>And who needs to be taught that you don't have to make food that you're not instagramming, instagrammable?
Again, you'd be surprised. So many people care so much about their food looking perfect when it doesn't need to. See: Autists all over /ck/ who think an oblong or slightly blonde pizza is unfit for human consumption. Or even worse, I know a lot of people who just don't even dare to TRY to cook simply because of their perception that it requires all this precision and perfection and that if you don't get everything just right you'll have to throw it out. I like that Ragusea focuses on stripping away that perception for people who might be turned off of cooking by all the autism that surrounds it.

Refer to my post about internet addicted retards. When I first cooked a steak it never crossed my mind that I should use a thermometer. People don't think that beef is safe to eat at x degrees so that's the temperature they aim for, people think "i'll cook it until it looks right", intuitively. Adam's steak-cooking tutorial is "OBVIOUSLY you can cook steak without measuring its temperature, why the fuck would you think that? (also here's an unintuitive, stupid way to season your meat)"
>Autists all over /ck/ who think an oblong or slightly blonde pizza is unfit for human consumption
Yeah my assumption is always that when someone calls your meal a sloppa they're just bantering. And as far as people who don't dare to try to cook because they think it has to look perfect, I don't know what to tell you. I'm not sure that's a thing

>>15735854
>When I first cooked a steak it never crossed my mind that I should use a thermometer.
Yes, when YOU first cooked a steak. But YOU doing something isn't a reason to think OTHER PEOPLE must all do the same. Like I said, I literally know people who won't try to cook steak because they don't want to buy expensive thermometers or are too averse to how complicated it all seems thanks to online videos, TV, and even cookbooks often taking this very demanding, prescriptivist approach to cooking and harp on and on about the "right" way to do things and what's "authentic" and so on. If you think people don't internalize these things you're just flat out wrong and I just think we need more people out there championing the idea that cooking is easy and can be done intuitively. Not everyone trusts their intuition and even fewer people out there teach it, it's always about following specific directions and digital tools and not about using your senses and intuition.

[Anonymous No.15736081]

>>15734164
All the good cooking tools in the world don't stop people from overcooking/undercooking things, they don't teach people how ingredients interact with one another, and in most cases they don't just magically make things taste better. It's better to teach people to walk before they run instead of encouraging people to buy a bunch of shit that they don't even know why they are buying it. Give an absolute beginner cook an expensive knife set and watch how many of them are misused. Also unless you are trying to get laid or you run a professional kitchen, there is definitely a cutoff point where the diminishing returns on effort to output on the presentation of food falls off a fucking cliff and some beginners waste a lot of time in that zone instead of actually making their shit taste good.

These people are looking for an excuse to not cook, they wouldn't do it even if you gave them a sous vide steak and told them just to sear it.

>"does this vaguely feel like my skin at this arbritary placement"
That's not Ragusea's advice, though. His method is to feel the firmness/bounciness of the flesh of the steak in various places when it's raw and how to compare that to how it should feel when it's up to temp. The idea being that every steak is a bit different so learning to compare a steak to itself will help you more intuitively cook even unfamiliar cuts of steak or slightly thicker or thinner cuts. It also avoids the finicky readings of cheap thermometers.

That's not a thing, dude. Thinking about meat doneness in terms of temperature is something that only happens when you have some experience as a cook/ if you're severely autistic. Intuition literally refers to "do something until it looks right", which is how regular people cook.

[Anonymous No.15747986]

>>15747939
But most people are scared of the experimentation and learned how to tell when things look done. Then they go online to find out how to cook something and get further put off by perceived complexity. Intuition has to be developed, but it can also be taught. Ragusea teaches intuition.
