"season to taste"

[Anonymous No.16651869]

>season with salt and pepper to taste
How am I (a novice chef) supposed to know what "to taste" is? This is worse than non-units like "pinch" and "heaping spoonful".

It means to your taste, as in to your liking.

Literally how I am supposed to tell if a virgin dish needs salt or not? What do I look for?

Add 1.0% salt and 0.1% pepper by total weight of the food. A teaspoon is 5 g. Works every time.

cook the food until it's almost done, so you don't get food poisoning from raw meat. taste it. does it need salt or pepper? then add salt and pepper. stir it a bit. taste it again. repeat until it tastes adequately seasoned.

Food doesn't need seasoning, just cook it and eat it

To taste means "to your taste", which means you should add as much or as little as you'd like, which means you should taste your food as you cook, which means that if you're cooking something like meatballs, you should cook a little bit in a frying pan or microwave to see if you've added enough or if it needs more.

It depends on what ingredients you use that already have salt in it.

[Anonymous No.16652872]

>>16651869
it means to your or your's liking
there will be some trial and error involved unless you spend a lot of time meticulously combining or following a recipe and modifying as you see fit

So a board of self-proclaimed experts can't succinctly answer what "to taste" means and how to develop a sense for it. Interesting.

I don't think you can taste. Regardless just skip that step.

[Anonymous No.16653824]

just add 2 teaspoon of salt to every dish you make, if its too salty now you know to reduce the salt next time, if it's not keep it as is. eventually you'll have a frame of reference on whether or not a given dish is salted 'to your liking' or not and adjust accordingly

to taste means that it tastes good you dumbfuck. taste the food, does it taste good? good. if not add salt and pepper. how stupid do you have to be to not get this.

>I don't know what tasting good means
then you're less intelligent than a dog, even they have preferences and can tell when food is too salty or doesn't have enough.

5/10 bait, I replied

That comes with experience. You try the food, judge if it needs more or less, adjust if possible, learn for next times.
