It's almost religious

>cook several dishes at once
>somehow everything finishes cooking at the same time

Bread. Fresh and warm from the oven.

This may be the only evidence that even comes close to proving that there is a God, and that He loves us.

When you open the oven after whatever you put in finishes baking and the smell hits you

Fatty detected

>the smell of sauteing onion, garlic and peppers

Eating a nice glazed ham and putting some of that delicious marrow on the side.

>that little dollop of cold sour cream working in sublime cohesion with the rest of the warm, crunch taco

That first bite of firm but tender brisket after its finished resting.

That first bite of pizza from last night you put in the fridge. Cold pizza and fresh from the oven pizza are the only as to enjoy pizza.

Are you guys telling me you don't plan it this way? Time management is kinda a big thing in cooking.

Are you a polock?

How can you dis pierogi honestly? It's like a perfect food.

For starters, real pierogi have cabbage, mushroom, and potato along with a few other surprises. Second, you're supposed to brown them a bit. The best strategy is to throw three pierogi in a pan with a pat of butter and about a quarter cup of water, along with your ham/bacon and onions. Then blast the thing on high heat and once the pierogi brown everything should be done.

>Second, you're supposed to brown them a bit.

Completely optional. My grandmother would beat you with a spoon if you suggested this in her presence.

My grandmother took the pierogies out of the freezer and put them in the microwave

:(

If eaten at a big table with other mains, boiled is best. However, if you're making a quick lunch with pierogi as the main, a quick fry is essential.

>Flipping an omelette without breaking it

This.

The moment onion is caramelized perfectly

>flipping every pancake perfectly and watching them rise

Slow braising some meat with the bone in and when it's done the bone just easily pulls out or the meat falls off it.
