Bad cooking lessons

Has anyone ever passed some inaccurate information onto you? My father used to work in a factory before becoming a stay at home dad because my mother had a substantially better job.

This of course meant that he learned how to do most of the cooking by himself, two of the biggest bits of misinformation he told me were
>When you cook spaghetti you need to add oil, otherwise it will all stick together
This is bullshit since you can just rinse the starch off, but he's adamant that I'm full of shit.
>To bread chicken or onions you just need to slather on some egg and then shake on some flour
For years I could never understand why my fried chicken tasted like shit, I never knew you needed to add milk for a good coating

you're both dumb as shit, spaghetti doesn't stick together if it's oiled or not. try stirring it occasionally...

no comment on the frying part, just get the fuck off of ck.

Stopped reading there. Go back to your containment board.

>you need to rinse the starch off of spaghetti to stop it sticking
This is hardly ever a problem and only stops the delicious sauce from adhering.
>fried chicken tastes nice without breadcrumbs
I was told you could just use flour.

I don't remember which asshole told me these things, but I want to murder them.

Shhhhhh, hush now sweet summer child

Here you go, stupidity at its finest. Was considering buying a freeze dryer since i have a load of extra food each week from my job. Ask my boss his opinion and he tells me to "just freeze it" that it is the same thing. Fucking autistic child.

your dad is right about fried chicken. milk adds too much moisture and therefore steam, it causes the breading to be more likely to drip right off.

ATK had a segment on oil in spaghetti water. The conclusion of their testing went like this: "We made hundreds of batches of spaghetti, adding water with different methods, in different amounts, and at different points in the cooking, and we've concluded that there's no evidence that adding oil to water prevents sticking. Instead, you should add oil to the spaghetti after it's done cooking."
The first fucking thing my mother says is "NUH UH IT IT IT PASSES THROUGH THE OIL FLOATING ON THE WATER"
This is why I don't let her fucking cook anymore. Old people can't learn new things or accept new information and just dig their heels in.

oh I should also say the constant drinking and falling asleep while she's cooking and the one time she didn't set a timer and let a prime rib cook for nearly 8 hours while she took several consecutive naps factors into it too

In two weeks i fininsh cooking school.

Most of the recipes our teacher gives us are poor and basic...even the teacehr admited that he doesnt want to tell us any secret...
