Only if they're teaching.

Or, if you have a big enough kitchen.

And, maybe two stoves.

Two kitchens, that's what's needed. Two whole kitchens next to each other, then you can cook together.

Don't fucking tell me how to chop onions, I've been chopping onions my whole life. I don't care what you saw on YouTube. And, yes, I just cracked an egg on the edge of the bowl, do you SEE any shell in the egg? No. Because I've been cracking eggs that way longer than you've been alive. Go grind sea salt, or something, leave me alone.

In some parts of Asia nice homes have two kitchens. A show kitchen and a used kitchen. Sometimes the used kitchen is outdoors.

Rich people having extra shit they don't use is a global phenomenon

Hey everyone, here's my show house!

Does anyone live in it?

No, it's the show house. You think we let poor people have housing?

That's a toxic spouse. I'm guessing the criticism reaches beyond cooking technique.

I was joking, but I see now this isn't a meme community, so maybe I over stepped.

👌

Blink twice if she's reading this over your shoulder.

Crack your eggs on a flat surface, and they’ll split cleanly around the equator. Crack them on the edge of the bowl if you want to blast a hole in one spot and end up with shell in your eggs half of the time.

That's how it works on paper, but in reality, 98% of the time the membrane holds the shell together, and there's no problem. The other two percent of the time, I just pick the eggshell out, easy-peasy. No one cracked their eggs this way until some TV cook showed it, and people who never cooked decided it was superior and different and good. People who've been cooking with eggs for decades don't bother with this, because it's a non-issue.

I used to do it on side of the bowl, then switched later, so have years of experience with both. I don’t remember where I learned it, but it definitely helps.
