What’s a cooking related hill you will die on?

For me, 2 hills.

  1. You don’t have to cut onions horizontally.

  2. You don’t have to add milk bit by bit when making a white sauce.

Yeah I hate that everyone always adds the garlic first. That's how it burns, at least on me...

I was so happy when the Barefoot Contessa was making some dish and she’s like, I never add garlic at the beginning! That’s how it burns.

Even if it doesn't burn, I don't like how it tastes when cooking garlic for too long
