Croc pot liners feel like you’re just asking for cancer. -u/Sleeves_are_4_bitchz

I like making chicken with pasta. I make it into a sauce similar to Bolognese but I'll put small chicken bits instead of the mince... My family calls me a savage for eating such things together. -u/SweetJazz25

There's no such thing as "breakfast food". You can eat a steak in the morning and fry an egg for dinner if you want, it's just food. -alphareich

Not all moms or grandmas are amazing cooks. Yes my mom has some good dishes she makes but nuking brussel sprouts in the microwave with orange marmalade is not one of them. -u/12inch_Juicy_Burrito

Mile high burgers and hot dogs with so many toppings you can no longer taste the meat are awful, and a pain in the a** to eat. -u/irish2685

You can dislike a food simply for its texture, nothing to do with its taste. I don’t mind the taste of baked beans but I hate how slimy they are and don’t even get me started on when they’re cold. -u/eggshitter

How to say 'pecan' I swear my family has gone to war over which way to pronounce it. -u/Significant_Ad_8159

In a pinch, you can sub plain yogurt for all kinds of liquids. -u/killercurvesahead

The cream cheese based crock pot dinners are the modern equivalent of Jell-O based dinners from the 50s. -u/MadameBurner

I once used mayonnaise instead of butter on a grilled cheese out of desperation and it worked out fine. Smelled weird but had no difference in taste. -u/J0LTED

Some food tastes better a little bit burnt. -u/FancySloth

Most root vegetables (e.g. carrots, potatoes, ginger) don’t need to be peeled when properly cooked. -u/xCaptainCrunchxD

Most people/companies do not know how to do salted caramel. every salted caramel product I've had homemade or otherwise has been like mouth puckeringly salty. The point is to lightly salt it to bring out the more subtle flavors, not literally make salty caramel. -u/RandomGuy5937

Things like an air fryer are NOT cheating. If I wanna air fry a salmon fillet for 8 minutes instead of stick it in the oven for 20, and then toss it on a bed of single serve 2 minute microwaveable instant stick rice instead of make a large portion that has to cook for 30 minutes, I'll do just that and it's still a real meal. -u/givememorecheese

Most restaurants should just stop serving vegetarian dishes if they can't be bothered to make something that tastes good. You cannot just put kale, quinoa, some random veg, and a vinaigrette in a bowl and charge $25. -u/goatpengertie

I've done the final egg coating on apple pies with a makeup brush more times than I'd like to admit. -u/menchii_

Burnt garlic is far too common. Some people (I’m hesitant to say most) toss garlic straight into a hot pan and then continue to cook onions, peppers, etc. Garlic needs less time than most other things and should be put in later so it doesn’t burn. -u/jjrandy

Use what you have on hand. Trust yourself to make it work. -u/Eaglelakegirl64

Red onions should be called purple onions. -u/Antisocial-Lightbulb

Meal prep is just eating leftovers all week. -u/diablo1128

As a lifelong carnivore I will say that if tofu is cooked properly it is absolutely delicious. I would even go so far as to say I prefer it in certain dishes over animal protein. -u/HubbTub

MSG works. -u/Dracconas

Pepperoni's need a little time in a pan before putting in on the pizza and in the oven. Omptimize crispy-ness. -u/Short_fuzed_frenchie

Presentation barely matters to me. I've had many delicious scoops of slop. -u/ToBePacific

As an adult, you should clean as you cook!! -u/omg_88

Recipes are only opinions. Feel free to mix things up as you see fit. People in my household go berserk when I suggest this. -u/pfojes

Smaller portions for visual effect is absolutely awful to your guests. Like. Less food, to impress me? You lost me already. -u/Squaragus_Asparagus

Don't put olive oil in your pasta water. Oil floats. It doesn't do anything. -u/KidLanguageBarrier
