Cooking is literally just following directions

it amazes me how otherwise intelligent people say they cant cook its so easy

plus were in 2024 and you can get video recipes that show you exactly what you need to do

i mean, largely? yeah
but the stovetop can be one of the trickier apparatuses to cook on because it does require some foreknowledge of how various things react to various levels of heat, how your specific cookware behaves at higher temps, how various temps affect different foods, more intuitive understanding of how size portions will change cooktime, appropriate heat levels, and whether or not it would just be better to put it in the oven after doing a pan sear on high heat. especially considering that flipping improperly or too early can completely ruin the sear/caramelization on something.
