[@markwood1159]

A simple rule for inexperienced cooks--if it tastes like something's missing and you're not sure what it is, 9 times out of 10 it's acid. Add some lemon juice or vinegar or whatever acidic ingredient is appropriate for the dish and taste again. Usually, you don't want a pronounced flavor of the specific acidic ingredient (if you did, it would be obvious what was missing) so it probably won't take much but a little bit of acidity can make a world of difference.

It took me *years* to get truly good at cooking.

Now I can cook damn near anything off the cuff and have it turn out great. My house guests always say I cook better than restaurants, which I find deeply humbling and complimentary, and I wouldn't be where I am without food content creators on KZbin.

[@tjtomax]

I'll say, probably cook high protein meals, like chicken, or turkey, or ground beef: in bulk once a week, and craft dishes around those proteins, and seasoning styles, with regard to not recooking the protein with whatever aceutremoin you are pairing it with... example, meal prep chicken thigh/breast portions for 10-12 meals worth before you leave for the week. But for days 1-3, buy fresh vegetables to make salads/wraps, AND USE THEM FOR GOD SAKE... then take a craving day, and buy like some Mac n cheese meal that's easy, and satisfying, that also makes an easy pairing with your protein. Then, for the last 4-6 portions, use a slow cooker to make a ton of meals like a soup/stew, and can make use of unused vegetables from the early week, and can become a full meal simply by cooking rice alongside the pot... you simply have to get the protein taken care of before the trip... otherwise, everything you want to pair with it can be made with ease

[@gregrhyne9409]

Soup stew with mla divercity of vegetables. Lentils is great for absorbing soup flavor and is high in fiber and protein. Potatoes. Also popular for stews is filling in a long term and healthy way. Add meats but not processed meats. Meat has nutrients u dont get from. Veggies

[@MrsGump]

Have u thought about replacing ur crockpot/slow cooker with a multi cooker/instapot - if that's possible? You can do a slow cooked stew or one in an hour n a half. You can do a great mushroom (n I add asparagus when jn season) risotto, takes about 30 mins n 6 of that is cooking time. There's shitloads of easy quick recipes on yt, one channel is called something like six sisters n they do fast, tasty n reasonably healthy recipes 😊

[@itummy18]

Just some videos I would love to see Josh - if I may...that I believe would help many people. 1. The perfect steak - according to Josh 2. The perfect roast - according to Josh 3. The perfect fish - according to Josh 4. The perfect duck - according to Josh 5. The perfect turkey - according to Josh. Meats are a huge deal to many people and yet so many fail or overcook their meat to such an extent that they have wasted a decent amount of money just trying to impress someone. Definitely not me projecting here...but, I figured you probably already have these video ideas but maybe having a series would be awesome. I personally would benefit very much from something like this. Thanks for reading you cute little editor and Josh. Stay deliciously delectable.

[@philoctetes_wordsworth]

I watch a lot of cooking competitions, and my very favorite is Worst Cooks in America. Watching people do insanely obviously wrong things is eye-opening. The best advice I can give to anyone is this: if you are using a recipe, follow it. Do not improvise-you don’t have the skills for that, yet. Just follow the recipe, exactly. I have never understood why people cannot just do that one simple thing.

[@BlunderBob]

I usually tell new cooks to use recipes as a guide line when cooking for themselves, trying new things and then following recipes when cooking for others. I think there is a lot of learning to be achieved by just trying combinations that you think work in your mind and testing it on yourself :D

[@Love2Banime]

Have you seen posts on recipe blogs where commenter(s) gave bad reviews by not following the recipes? They're unbelievably delusional.

[@mmasque2052]

When you’re starting out, follow recipes EXACTLY (this is definitely necessary for baking) until you learn what herbs and spices work well together (and what don’t) and what suits your tastes and the tastes of anyone else you’re cooking for. While consistency isn’t as essential for the home chef compared to a restaurant chef, it’s still a skill to master; you’ll be much happier with your results. Learn these before you decide to start improvising.

[@offroadskater]

Reading skills. Impatience. Overconfidence. Arrogance. Lack of concentration. Lacking the knowledge to discern which parts of the recipe are great suggestions and which ones are compulsory. Laziness. Shall I go on? Not caring enough. Being in a hurry. Getting distracted by life around you. Believing Grandma who says there is no need to be accurate, but never knowing that she actually is, because she has made that dish 1000 times and you haven't. Thinking your inexperienced behind knows better than a scale or a thermometer. (this is part of the arrogance point. I apologise, but it's worth saying twice) I will stop, now, because, it was a rhetorical question, but I had to vent, because all these points describe my mother's cooking, who simply doesn't want to learn, but asks me constantly why her dishes don't come out how they are supposed to. I write it down as accurately as I can for her and she says, she didn't read it. Too long. Just like this post.

[@bettyir4302]

What's a recipe? I cook from scratch and taught the kids how. Our 9 year old made the perfect Thanksgiving spread from scratch without a recipe. Thankfully, she asked hubby to take the turkey out of the oven and asked me (in bed sicker than any dog has been and on the WRONG meds) how much sage in the dressing and I just muttered more than you think. Other than that, she was doing her thing.

[@naonna1]

I encourage seeing Cookwell's approach to cooking: learning to cook with the ingredients first rather than with a specific goal of an end dish. - With an ingredient-first mentality, you can get a lot more out of each shopping trip, as it reduces leftover ingredients you might have tried to purchase for a single recipe and then never touched again. - If you're reading this, you can find their channel pretty easily, I imagine.

[@liesalllies]

Regarding freshness, it's also important to know that there are still uses and times where it's not only acceptable but sometimes even preferably to use foods that are less fresh. Especially with the high cost of food it's really useful knowledge. And don't forget that canned and frozen foods are great too!

[@heruhcanedean]

Things I'd like to add to help for starting cooks. (Yes I cook for a living as well, I also train incoming cooks) - For basic seasonings you can't go wrong with a seasoned salt (I use Johnny's) and Italian seasoning. Also when I make homemade blends I never put salt in it. I usually use "Better than Bullion" as a salt, if your on a budget those stock cubes are great as a salt alt too. But also salt to taste. (To taste means don't make it too salty it's "to your taste.) - For chopping onions use the banquet chopping method, cut horizontal to get C's of onion, then julienne. It's way faster. - For cutting something like carrots or turnips, cut it at a 30-45 degree angle, roll it 90 and cut again, it helps keep them the same size over a cutting rounds method, it's okay if some look a little funny, they will cook more evenly. We call it "french cut" or "rolling chop." Also say no to baby carrots. - 165F while still cooking is the temp of over cooked chicken white meat, shoot for like 155-160F out the pan. Dark meat it helps and I like to go 175F sometimes, it renders the fat which helps keep it juicy. The white lean meat doesn't have that fat and dries out. Most importantly - If your cooking for someone other than yourself, invite someone else to taste. When working in a kitchen you have people randomly bring you a tasting spoon, sometimes they don't even say what it is. Listen to the feedback. - If your cooking for yourself make it how you like, fuck traditional flavors. if you don't like 3-4 ingredients of a recipe, make it your own. Add things that you like. -It's art, enjoy yourself and your food.

[@SeraphsWitness]

My 12 year old self was so impressed that I wanted to be able to do the same...

The most important thing I've learned the past few years when it comes to cooking is to always taste the food before you serve. Especially when it comes to salt. For example; porridges tastes horrible if you don't salt it enough. A few people I know, that said they didn't like a certain type of food, had probably tried incorrectly seasoned food, because when I made it for them; they liked it.

(breakfast for dinner with quick grits, couscous with meat and steamed veggies) 3. Nice weekend meal (steak, nice cut of fish, etc..) 4. Meal to impress others

I started to cook when pandemic started. I never knew how to cook until i saw josh's videos. Been my go to and motivation to learn new things.

[@michaelsotomayor5001]

honestly the sense of smell does wonders for cooking From seeing how fresh something is - to actually fine tuning the seasoning.

[@CashMoneyMan10293847]

EASILY one of the best videos you've put out. There were so many times throughout the video where I was just like "Damn, this is a good video". Great job!

[@willbelley1345]

0:52 Sadly Josh That's not how you measure flour :/ you must use a spoon to fill your cup. Otherwise it will create pressure and you will have more flour than wanted, btw love your vids.

Shut up

[@TalibMcDonald]

Yes! Texture is SUPER IMPORTANT to me! So glad someone understands that it makes a difference in cooking too! When I began learning cooking, this was never something I found much advice on. But as someone who is on the autism spectrum, texture is really critical for me! And sure, some might have different preferences on textures, but that makes it all the more important to know.

we finna cook with this one 🗣🔥🔥🔥🔥

bro remembered he has a kitchen

[@chuck571]

Good to see you talking about cooking again!!

[@JaegerDreadful]

Holy frick Joshua is teaching people how to cook in 25 minutes but in a 24 minute video! HE BROKE SPACE TIME TO TEACH YOU HOW TO COOK! INSANE!

Having everything ready to go before cooking starts was a real game changer for me. I used to try following recipes and some of them are written in a way that assumes you can prepare the next set of ingredients in no time flat. Things never went well. But ever since I prepared everything in advance, cooking was much easier. There are a bunch of other tips and tricks that help, of course, but not feeling rushed makes it all the more enjoyable.

[@prestonhurst]

Biggest mistake I ever made was going to culinary school. I graduated, but I spent YEARS trying to pay that shit off. NOT worth it. Found out most kitchens do not care about a degree unless you're going into something like a test kitchen, corporate kitchen, teaching, that sort of thing.

[@blairhoughton7918]

Kitchens don't care because your education is more broad than they can use completely. But it gives you more options sooner as you go from kitchen to kitchen. It is way too expensive though. Same as any other college. We've fucked up the entire education system by making it a profit center for private equity.

[@prestonhurst]

@@blairhoughton7918 Yep.

[@gregor137]

Best Video I have seen in a long time. I have seen every tip already but it was so good to hear and see some tips again to stay on track. Thank You Josh

[@crooksnkings]

12:46 RIP green bean

[@connorblawn3325]

Missed this ❤, also thank you for talking about flavor balancing. NOBODY TALKS ABOUT THIS!

[@kevinlam4550]

Everyone here complaining about how topics on cooking is best. It isn’t sustainable as a business which is what this is for him. It’s his career as a KZbinr. There is only so much about cooking he can talk about to a casual audience. If he just keeps doing cooking teaching videos, he’ll have to start going into more advanced and more niche topics which won’t attract the broader audience. This channel is a career to him and he’s gonna do what’s best for his career and channel. You would all do the same if you were in his shoes! Don’t be fucking selfish in your needs and want! Not everything has to go your way! I watch Josh’s videos because I like him, his cooking, his commentary and his personality. If you guys really cared, you would let him do what help him succeed and be happy with him. He’ll still do cooking teaching videos here and there…

[@CosmicVitamins]

Shill vs. Sale. I feel he's lost in the definition.

[@Scopedmunster-clips]

This is such a nice change of pace. I’ve been wanting a video like this for so long.

[@evanmitchell9096]

Nice voice crack at 14:50

[@faraonch]

Best format so far. Finally, I don't lose attention due to the classic KZbin tendency to make content longer than needed.

[@ixyzyxi]

Is this American minutes because I see only 24:11

[@yetinother]

Is says "under 25 minutes" in the title. So it could be 24 seconds and still be accurate

[@brettbannister5560]

My dad (who was a chef) always said, “if you can read, you can cook.” Maybe a little more nuanced than that but the sentiment is there hahaha

[@shaunwolfe7665]

I can't believe you're about to hit 10 million brother. I've literally been watching you for 5 years straight. 😊

[@ironfeige5517]

Reminds me of my first day of culinary arts school. Still better than another tier list.

[@jacebeleren429]

Bro, your oven sliding out on rails is hot stuff. Luxurious.

[@zmandy159]

Joshua! You are the man. Ive been watching your videos for awhile and I also never commented on youtube. However Im an Engineer and highly detail focused. And thinking of writing a cooking book at some point in my life. If I do, The Engineers Guide to Cooking, in my preface, Im going to tell the reader to watch this fantastically condensed video before they even start reading. Congrats and thank you for making enjoyable cooking content for the masses.

[@moxiedawn4370]

I like Josh's approach a lot. There are rules, but...rules can be flexible. "Your desired outcome" was a phrase that stood out in this lesson. I never want a steak well done, but if someone does, there is a way to do it with a good outcome.

[@elliemae9884]

i found josh at the beginning of covid and fast forward to now i've impressed so many friends and family with my cooking when tbh i still have no idea what i'm doing in the grand scheme of things. just goes to show that consistent practice and a bit of exploring is worth it. just keep trying things and be confident in your process 😎

[@bigdaddyben4210]

love to have a refresher course on how to make great things. love you papa

[@neojunjie2937]

I’m glad to see n0tail is doing well after OG’s Ti8&9. Wish you all the best with your future endeavour!

[@SomeGuy80s]

Timing, Technique and Procedure. Follow these steps and things will be fine. Sometimes, Technique is Procedure. Thank you for the videos Joshua. many years watching. GG

[@autumnwillow2111]

Josh! I second one of the comments talking about needing to learn food safety. I tend to leave some ingredients on the counter by accident either while busy or after finishing cooking and google says always to throw away (meaning I waste food unintentionally). Please give us a crash course on what can be left out, what is absolutely necessary to refrigerate, what can safely be refrigerated but also shelf safe… etc. Loved this video!
