If you can’t show me a recipe without throwing pots and pans around, and trying to chop everything as fast as humanly possible, I don’t trust that you’re showing me a recipe even worth me making at home. It’s ridiculous that there’s so many people making food content out there like this, your sick knife skills doesn’t show me that you know how to craft recipes that people can cook at home. Please stop doing this shit, it’s so annoying.

I am confused how their cutting speed make them less trustworthy. I chop fast because I can. Why would I slow it down?
What?
Why are you watching food content creators?
Knife skills are just something most cooks will have. From either work experience or just practicing the claw for a while. Knowing how to chop stuff isn’t usually something learn to show off. Anyone whose been in a professional kitchen for a few months does this.
Are you wanting to watch them slowly prepare carrots? It’s good they’re quick, we know how to prep a carrot.
What about knife content creators who are obsessed with showing off their food skills?
How does the way someone chops or puts down a pan effect how you understand a recipe at all?
There are very, very few recipes that require special chopping that would require explanation, so a slowed break down of how to chop is a complete waste of time and usually serves absolutely no purpose.
Please, explain to me how someone chopping cilantro in a fancy way when the recipe calls for chopped cilantro somehow effect your ability to understand that you should add chopped cilantro? Or that putting down your skillet with some flare totally throws you off the instruction “use a skillet”.
Trying to slow yourself down is probably more dangerous actually.
On the contrary, I’d trust them more because clearly they have experience working with cooking instruments to have that skill. If you do something a lot, you’re going to get quicker and more efficient at it. And I’d rather they keep the video moving along than grinding it to a halt to slowly chop something. You can always pause or rewind the video.
Why would you even want to watch someone cooking who moves slower and less efficiently? I just can’t even wrap my head around this post… it seems strangely opposed to common sense.
I can chop faster than you guaranteed, but that doesn’t make me a bad cook. Get a real opinion.
I enjoy watching Adam Ragusa on youtube, he admits his skills are average at best.
Would you watch a whole video if they chopped slow?
I think youre pissed off on shows that deliberately concentrate shots on their knife skills for cinematic effect or flair rather than actually cooking. upvote my guy.
