That's a pretty lame quote. Equipment makes things so much easier. It'd be like if an Olympic runner says "If I can run a 5 minute mile without shoes, so can you!".
It's like, alright Mario congrats but I'm not a professional cook.
- stinkytaco 5y agoIt's less like not having shoes and more like not having top of the line custom Nike track shoes, but just a set of New Balance you picked up for $100. If that's your excuse for not exercising, then you'll never exercise. The point is that you don't need a restaurant kitchen to put good food on your table. The quote is from this article, by the way: https://www.nytimes.com/2008/12/14/weekinreview/14bittman.html https://www.nytimes.com/2008/12/14/weekinreview/14bittman.ht...
- yupper32 5y agoTo bring it back to cooking, there are literally TV shows based around professional and solid home cooks struggling to use sub-par equipment. The new Ramsey show is literally this. Cutthroat kitchen is the extreme example. Heat control is one of the hardest thing for home cooks to get right, and a real flame makes that WAY easier.
- stinkytaco 5y ago> there are literally TV shows based around professional and solid home cooks struggling to use sub-par equipment. I guess I'm not sure I consider TV shows -- who's role is to create viewer interest and can artificially manufacture drama to do so -- a very good judge of reality. Additionally, of course professional equipment will be easier for professionals to use. But most of the world uses electric ranges (about 50% of cooktops in the US are gas and that number is much lower in Europe and Asia), but somehow people get by.
