Please don't think I'm here to complain about rizz or skibidi toilet etc. Thats all fine by me.

The term I dislike strongly is 'eeeh' before you make a statement disagreeing with someone. (This is over text only). Now maybe I've been pavloved bc it's always used by someone disagreeing. But I'm happy with people disagreeing with me normally its just the 'eeeh' or 'erm' that annoys me.

So what's a random term that annoys you?

PS. Saying "eeeh actually 'eeh' is a perfectly fine term" would be a ridiculously easy joke and I will judge you for making it. And I know atleast one person will. Especially bow that I've said all this.

Probably not normally, but ideally. I doubt mise en place is all that common in most homes.

I see that you don't bake much. 🙂

I do bake quite a bit. And I don't do my mise-en-place either when it comes to baking, but that's not a problem. The way recipes are formatted works well for my process as well. I read through the steps ahead of time if it's a recipe I am unfamiliar with, then I'll just have the ingredients list open while I'm doing the prep. The things I make are pretty basic (cookies, cakes, muffin, etc) and the steps are all identical. Mix wet, mix dry, mix everything, bake.

I personally find that having less repeated information makes things easier and faster to read. The recipe says "add flour", you know that it's all the flour. If the recipe says "add flour (1 cup)", then I have to check back in the ingredients list to figure out if that's all the flour or only part of it. Then the more info you add to clarify, the harder it is to skim while you're cooking.

Edit: I just noticed this comment wasn't directed at me. Regardless, I think it's still relevant.

I agree that many recipes are poorly written. Especially non professional stuff from the web.

Still, I'd hate to prepare anything without having weighed all my ingredients beforehand.
