Yip Yip, bitch.
What are some of those things that you do that everyone swears is wrong, but you low-key don't care?

For example, when I microwave potatoes for baked potatoes (which is apparently a heinous sin in and of itself), I never poke holes in them. They've never exploded on me. I don't skim the foam off the top of my soups, because I don't really care if the broth is super clear.

Now you.

There are times where I won't toss my pasta and its sauce together (or even finish it in another pan!). I sometimes want to have some mostly naked noodles in the same bite as properly sauced ones :iiam:

I like my eggs scrambled hard, over high heat. 9 times out of 10 if I'm making eggs, I'm using the same pan (sans most of the grease) that I made bacon or sausage or whatever in, and would rather scramble it hard than either use a second pan or wait for it to cool. Plus I think wet scrambled eggs are just weird.

Eggs of any other kind (fried, poached) I prefer runny.

I used to like to get a lettuce leaf and use it like a burrito with mayonnaise for filling. I don't eat lettuce any more though.

I use jars of minced garlic or if I'm feeling fancy I crush cloves a bit my with hand and throw them in whole.

I put tomato sauce, dijon mustard and mayonnaise on hotdogs.

I hard boil my eggs, and fry them to a crisp, I smear out the egg so it's as thin as possible and as much as possible of the egg is converted by the maillard reaction.

I put ketchup on lasagna (and other Italian dishes).

I like well done chicken and pork.

I like hard shell tacos with the premixed spice bag and all that stuff.

I use dish soap when washing my cast iron pans (it doesn't hurt it I say).

I make tomato and acidic stuff in cast iron cookware, don't care and don't think it matters (good seasoning)

I use a bread rolling pin on pizza dough

Also guilty a lot on the garlic powder stuff.

We like our bacon pretty well done, so once it starts crisping in its own fat, there's really little difference. I even still save the grease for things like cooking potatoes!

Ketchup and eggs. Ketchup and hash browns. Ketchup as the glaze for meatloaf. Ketchup is great. Sometimes I use an ~artisanal brand~ but sometimes I prefer Hunt's (never Kraft).

EDIT: Oh yeah I use bouillon cubes too. But in my defense you can't buy liquid broth in this country and the cubes are better than those yeast grown "fonds" or whatever they are called in english, at least it's just dehydrated broth.

This is me if I make an improv "garbage" bolognese for spaghetti. Spaghetti on the plate and ragu blob in the middle - you control the combination as you go! To add to the sacrilege, despite generally having real parmesan on hand, I sometimes like to put the fake shaky sawdust stuff on the naked parts (AND the noodles hoho).

His Divine Shadow posted:

Never on a decent one, but brown sauce (HP) for me. Also on a cottage pie. This mainly comes from a childhood of very bland versions of both of those dishes. The same reason I have to remember to stop myself from salting soups before tasting them.

Tendales posted:

But not while anyone's around to see me.

Maybe not the cheapest brand, but tinned dogs on white bread definitely happens with mustard/ketchup from time to time (and definitely alone).

I only use garlic powder/salt to mix with mayo for a quick dip for pizza crusts and keep some of the jarred stuff on hand for emergencies. But despite almost always using fresh, I DO commit a supposed garlic crime: that poo poo ain't getting finely chopped - it's going through a mincer.

I use metal utensils in non-stick pans (unless they're ceramic). I think I have built up a healthy Teflon immunity over the years.

I think there is a lot of snobbery towards microwaves as not being a "pure" way to cook or something. They're very good at certain tasks and it's not "cheating" to use the right tool for the right job. If it happens to be more convenient then surely so much the better! For example most vegetables for a side work great in a microwave steamer. Microwave "baked" potatoes (mentioned above) are their own thing and good if you don't have an hour to do it the "correct" way - you can always finish them off in the oven to get the crispy skin. A lot of delicate fish (looking at you especially, trout) also works fantastically.

There's nothing wrong with stock/bouillon cubes.

Most of the time I'll dress a salad with a nice homemade vinaigrette or some decent balsamic or the like but sometimes I just want to chuck some Salad Cream on it for myself. It's also a nice variation instead of mayo in egg salad for sandwiches. Tangy!

I'll get my coat...

The other day I felt lazy, so had leftover cole slaw as a main dish. It was over-dressed, so I added the same volume of corn flakes. Added leftover homemade tomatillo sauce. It was loving amazing.

Sometimes, I spread peanut butter in between two strawberry pop tarts, effectively making a pop tart sandwich.

I also spread nutella and bananas on top of brown sugar cinnamon pop tarts and eat those.

This is totally fine in 2017. The "no soap on cast iron" thing dates back to when dish soap was a harsh cleanser, and you needed big yellow rubber gloves to protect your hands while you washed up. Modern dish soap is actually detergent, not a true soap. It's not harsh enough to strip away any polymerized fat.
