Why programmers like cooking

Also your stove is last generation so the pan can only get warm but not boil.

In a way, cooking still has that “deprecation” feel. Like when you use a kitchen tool that is like 2 orders of magnitude above what you are currently using.

For me it was knives. It was a serrated knife set that was a gift and got me through college. Once I got a real job and could get something of quality. A friend recommended I change out my knives for a chef quality knives. Started out with some Global knives and have never went back to my old set. Been slowly adding over time (ie, bread knife, cleaver, paring).

Also, switched from non-stick to stainless steel because fuck PFOA. Also picked up a quality rice cooker from Zojirushi.

Technique can get you very far in cooking, but to make that dish perfect got to have the right tools.

• Cannot convert baby carrot to Carrot
• Index 7 is out of bounds for egg container
• Boiling water suddenly turns totally black and opaque due to a bug in the bubble shader

Hm... you know... I have cooking equipment that needs updates from time to time. But it's fine, it's behind a firewall!

You don't suddenly find out that your peeler is several versions behind

And then proceed to spend 17 hours trying to get it to peel just the way the invetors wanted it to, which is different from the other 987654321 peelers around.

After 20 years in the field, I hate love despise like 'm ok with technology

On a serious note, I love cooking and washing and cleaning. I'm not staring at a screen and the objective is clear.

I'm not contemplating whether this is worth my time or stressed about other things. Although, I don't cook for many people so I guess my outlook would be different in those cases.

You shouldn't even be using a peeler in the first place! smh.
