You guys don't like seasoning salt? It's categorically delicious.

What's wrong with throwing the heat way up when cooking an egg? Some people love'm burnt to a crisp, or runny, or both.

Not wrong.The marbling is why it would still be juicy. Probably make the chef aggravated since you'd lose so much fat to the lengthy heating time, like losing mass in your by the pound item that was so much fat.
>It tasted like any other beef...
Maybe it wasn't really kobe. But, the draw of kobe should be more about the mouthfeel of the fat, kind of the pork belly experience on the palate, and a beefy flavor if it was actual kobe. I think american wagyu just tastes like an ordinary steak myself. Unaged, not grass fed kind of flavors. If you want a different flavor get a dry aged or grass fed and see if you can detect it.

I know that some Japanese people prefer to rinse their pasta because they serve sauce on the side, and dip each bit of pasta into the sauce. I guess they do this to get the perfect amount of sauce with each bite? And it's okay to rinse for pasta salads, because you don't want the extra starch thickening the dressing or making the pasta stick.

But other than that, the extra starch helps other sauces adhere to the pasta better and it's unnecessary to rinse it. Just toss it with sauce before it cools down and gets stuck together. You shouldn't be rinsing your pasta every time.

What's so bad about oil in pasta water? In my exp it helps spices stick and keeps the noodles loose after storing them in the fridge for future meals, and you can't even taste it unless you use a fuckton for some raisin.

>What's so bad about oil in pasta water?

It's counterproductive. If the noodles get oily then the sauce won't stick to them properly. It also creates a fire hazard if the pot were to boil over.

It is generally accepted that it is faster to heat the pan dry then heat the oil in the now hot pan. The difference is not much but seconds count on a busy sautee station. Also...when busy it is common set up empty pans on hot burners just waiting to fire an order. To oil the pan early now requires too much unnecessary attention to prevent smoking. For the volume and pace of home cooking it really doesnt matter.
