“What’s Something In [A Person’s] Kitchen That Immediately Tells You They’re A Good Cook?”

Yes! And don't move them!!

This, and I have a travelling bag of spices to take to parents to supplement their cupboards :-)

and which without labels ;)

My husband once put all my spices in alpha order. I thought I was going crazy because I wasn't reaching out for the correct spices. He had to start over again, with me telling him exactly where they went. This picture is only ~half my herbs and spices. Photo-pice...846c78.jpg

It's disorganised to you, not to them.

Hey, that's me!!

Right! I wish I could get my husband to STOP putting my pan in the sink. It's NOT dirty and I'm just about to use it.

My big cast iron frying pan lives on top of the stove, but I’m not a good cook. I’m just lazy.

I feel like this is a double edged sword... Mine are on my stove both because I use it too much to put it away, AND because I am too lazy to wash it right away.

I have a pile of 4

Aw. You think my chaos means I cook decent. Thanks 😊

Some ask me for a particular value resistor, a torx security bit, a 200MB IDE hard drive I'll stick my hands into the piles of clutter and pull out what they're looking for

whats happening in this picture? What are they cooking? What are the black things that look like mines?

That's just well used .

ohno there goes my points. My kitchen is chaos.

Knives in the dishwasher?! Sacre bleu!!

I've been called a good chef, but nobody taught me this :c I didn't learn this til I was in my mid 20s

Guess I’m not a good cook then. Everything goes in the dishwasher. 🥳 Even baking trays, pots and pans… and knives! 🥳

I just shuddered so hard at the idea of knives in a dishwasher machine I woke the cat in my lap.

Dishwasher? I don't have one and definitely wouldn't put a knife in it

Well done you !!!

The most used are on my counter by the stove. The rest are in a cabinet, within reach.

i was mad because i couldn't find a certain spice one night, so at 2 am i decided to organize the spice cabinet, the most used ones (the little ones) are on a mini shelf on the bottom shelf, the bigger ones are to the left, and the ones we don't use often are on the higher shelf

They are in what is supposed to be a junk drawer; the rest is in a cupboard, easily accessible. We are redoing our kitchen and I impressed the guy who came over to get the measurements.

I have three spice cupboard’s- most used is closest to the cooker

Try working on a private yacht with a galley kitchen having to feed 15 + people 3 times and more per day ; you have to be organised and chaotic at the same time, it's quite a skill set to have.

I have a very small kitchen with very limited counter top space. Pulled out drawers come in very handy sometimes to place something like the cutting board after use or a pan or bowl (never meats or eggs to prevent contamination)

There is such thing as a chaotic clean mess 🥰

Invited to a Sunday meal on the Maine coast in the mid 1960’s. Everyone pitched in! Me, on the porch shucking corn. No knowing the folks at all, made sure it was silk free. While shucking, drinking a homemade concoction created by the host. The call came, it’s on the table. 10 people pull chairs close to the table, let the feast begin! All this from a wood fired stove in a kitchen, Superman would have found more confining than a telephone booth!

I don't growl, but the wife says I do have a expression whenever she walks in the kitchen, like I'm in physical pain but trying to hide it .

Honestly, I'll keep an eye if you touch my pans, you can touch the glass and spoons, but if you go near my knives. . . hackles activated. I actually have a spare set of cooking knives for guests. My knives are weighted for me and were purchased one by one with my first pay checks.

Especially my decent knives - if you even think about trying to sharpen one of my Damascus Steel knives be prepared to whimper and weep under my verbal onslaught !!!

me ;)

I once growled when someone tried to take a piece of steak from my plate.. Absolutely no joke, I didn’t even realise I’d done it!

Herbs are the only thing I can grow. I tried vegetables but no fencing kept my dogs from enjoying the salad bar

I try to get mine sharpened annually (which for some reason autocorrected to anally, which is NOT how you sharpen knives)

My wife bought me a Horl 2 for our anniversary, I bought the sharpening set to go with it. Honed all my knives to their maximum sharpness and immediately cut my finger on first. I will however say, it's a marvelous sharpener, easy to use (trying to get 15° on a block is impossible), also, I didn't notice I'd cut my finger until I saw the blood and it was a ridiculously fine cut which healed really quickly.

I abhor dull knives! Nothing worse!!

I have 1 knife and 2 sharpening stones

We have a grocery store where the meat department will sharpen your knives overnight.

THIS. 100% will trust the person's cooking.
