The great thing about making curry is that you can add basically anything and it would only make it taste better. Literally any spice works in curry, but you can also add oddball ingredients like apple puree, coffee, and gourd vegetables. You would have to try really hard to gently caress up a curry.

How do you stop your poo poo from falling apart while you try that? Whenever I try to chunk stuff like that, it always falls around and gets sloppy. I'ts faster than what he did, but I have to sift through to make sure that there aren't any huge chunks that escaped.
Do you make sure the chicken and knife are dry (relatively speaking)? You can also very lightly wipe a bit of oil on the knife with a paper towel and that will make it effortless.

I've heard it's a horrible idea to leave food out on the counter (to defrost or otherwise) as it will develop loads of bacteria that way. I've only heard this about chicken but I assume steak wouldn't be any different?

Steak and other red meats are usually more acidic compared to chicken. Bacteria just can't penetrate into it like it can with chicken, so it's otherwise safer to leave a steak out to defrost than a chicken. An easy way to safely defrost chicken is to give it a water bath at room temperature while it's in a plastic bag. It will take a few hours, but it's much safer than just leaving it out by itself.

I separate egg yolks straight up with the two halved shells: keep the egg contents inside one half and just constantly swap the yolk back and forth. Something about the shell makes it perfect for cutting the whites from the yolk. Just keep a bowl underneath to catch the drippings and you'll be left with a perfect yolk in a half shell.

And the talk about separating yolks from whites. It's not recommended to use the shell, since that's where the salmonella *might* be if there is any in the egg. They're also, yknow, touched by people looking through the eggs at the store. The way Mico did it was actually a pretty good way of doing things if you don't want to touch raw egg, though I prefer separating them by hand myself

Ah yeah, I knew I forgot about something important. Skipped my mind since all the eggs I buy get an extra washing at home just for this reason.

Oh god, please at least put down a moist paper towel under the cutting board to make sure you don't move it all over the place and accidentally cut yourself because of it.

To be honest, I'd say it's because maggots are bugs, and first world cultures don't like eating such "low" animals. Everything I've heard about maggots says they're flavorful and very nutritious.

How does adding too much oil ruin the dish or was it the fact you had oil flying out of the pan that will burn you?

Good luck searing the chicken in that much fat, if you noticed his chicken was depressingly pale after cooking. Also it's loving gross why would you use that much oil

Oh yeah, and the reason you put a little sauce into the spaghetti is so that it doesn't stick to the pot. Same reason some people rinse pasta in cold water for a second once it's drained; it doesn't cool the pasta down much but it does stiffen up the surface.

Please do not rinse your pasta in cold water unless it specifically calls for it. That washes off all the starch bubbles that have formed on the outside of the noodle which is what the sauce clings to when you mix it. No cling = no saucy noodles

My sister tried to make the spaghetti bolognese.

We wound up with bolognese soup with burnt onion flecks, so who knows what the gently caress happened.

It's pretty hard to screw up curry, though.

This happened in my household just recently when my mom tried making a middle-eastern style curry by just using water and half a jar of turmeric, though I can't fault her too much since it's partially because some dumbass friend of hers labelled it as curry powder.

That would still make a pretty lovely curry. Way back in college my mother got me a cookbook written by a couple girls who had formulated these recipes when THEY were in college (because doing your own cooking is "cheaper" than takeout or premade stuff, which is only true as long as you shun fresh fruits and vegetables forever) and they had a recipe for curry that was basically curry powder, water, and nothing else except the chicken you were putting in it. It was terrible and bland, and the texture was gritty and offputting. Good curry needs spices other than just "curry powder" to play with.

That turned out to be a theme with that cookbook, actually, the girls who wrote it were the whitest of the white and they hated flavor and excitement of all kinds. Everything that was supposed to be spicy, wasn't spicy, and everything that wasn't supposed to be spicy, still didn't use any spices or herbs, just to be safe.

Well yeah the water was also problematic but I could rationalize that because our family was only ever familiar with the Japanese bouillon style curry which ever only needed water so I could see where she was going with that.
