What's the deal with Ragusea?

[Anonymous No.16639795]

I don't get all the hate, I guess he's passive agressive and that can be weird for some people. But, other than that, I think he's kinda legit.

He's a mediocre cook who has a popular channel, and he's super liberal. It's the trifecta of /ck/ hate.

C grade celebrities are not a thread topic for this board. That his schtick is relevant to this board does not matter. Jackie Chan does a lot of food based jokes, doesn't mean there's room on this board for a Jackie Chan thread.

Boring retard who dazzles other retards. Guy has no redeeming qualities, wrong way more than right on his info. Mah evoo stable when heated, one of the most stable if heated oils, research says so! Yea, too bad a lot of evoo worth anything has its flavor profile wrecked if heated, fun fact there are a few brands of evoo that don't get that shit metallic taste when heated, but you wouldn't find out about it from Adam. There are actually a few techniques you can do, mix the evoo 50/50 with say canola oil and fry with it, or go with an evoo that is fresh pressed and put in huge glass decanter overnight where the water settles on the bottom and is removed with the particles which also settle on the bottom with a spigot. I have a fusti where I dump my 20l evoo tins in and the spigot is at least 1" off the bottom, guess what happens? Particles go to bottom, so does a bit of the moisture water content in the oil, I can fry with it and not destroy the flavor profile, especially if I go a 25% canola or other vegetable oil mix with it, then I can really fry up shit with it.

He has the close set eyes and overbearing manner typical of someone who will overwhelm conversations with unwanted diatribes before murdering you the moment you're alone for a perceived slight. If you put him in a room with Mark Wiens, it'd be a coin toss as to whether they share tips for hiding the bodies or strip naked and knife fight to the death.

He used to absolutely lose his shit in the comments when people disagreed with him.
He has since learned not to participate.
Unfortunately it's because he thinks it's because they're trolls.
They're not really, but neither do they justify a manifesto per post.

Actually for the most part he tries to balance speed, ease of use, prudence, etc, with quality. But he makes odd trades and everyone questions him on them.

dude is a journalist. he's not that great as a cook, but he's good at narrating stuff.

[Anonymous No.16641330]

>>16639795
He's the embodiment of slave morality. You can tell that behind his cringey little "you do you!" shit and starting his plebbit comments with "friend, ...", there's real contempt hiding. He speaks this way because he's terrified of confrontation and has no idea how to handle disagreement. It's quite evident that he genuinely thinks he's the shit, but he's just too much of a coward and a mental weakling to face any critique head-on and honourably. That's why he hedges with these weasely little phrases, why he pre-empts all possible criticism with a pre-written and pinned FAQ, and why he saw the need to make that bizarre and incoherent video on why he refuses to use metric conversions.

So it doesn't surprise me that he's prone to the occasional outburst of impotent anger in his comments section from time to time -- he clearly has an ego and a measure of masculine rage, but has never learnt what to do with them, and has spent his life being afraid of any kind of self-affirmation. Why, for example, did he overreact with such vitriol to this relatively benign comment about ceramic stoves? Why does he get so upset over a very gentle quip about the narration? Because that's the kind of language in which Adam would himself codify his criticism. He interprets the slightest of gibes as full-frontal attacks because that's the way he'd make a criticism. Simple, honest and straightforward language is not for him; he lacks the courage to be direct.

As other anons have said, all of this has probably been reinforced/cemented by his having been a professor, where he's been able to go mostly unchallenged in his little fiefdom for years. Now he's suddenly exposed to the internet, where everyone is way harsher, and more importantly, don't need to please him to pass a class. I guess he's struggling to adapt a bit.

[Anonymous No.16641355]

>>16639859
he was mostly talking about the safety of using evoo for cooking, not the taste.
you don't cook in evoo to actually taste the complex aromas of a quality cold pressed product. Since you have to use some fat, might as well choose one that can give a nice olive-y taste instead of a more neutral tasting one, but that's it.
