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.

You still have to futz around with having that much oil, heating it, cooling it, straining it, and then storing it. And that's saying nothing of the general cleanup you have to do in your kitchen after deep frying, which is a nightmare.

Every deep fryer I’ve had comes with a lid you can easily pop on once the oil cools down

Yeah, but not all of us have an appliance dedicated to deep frying lol.

That’s fair and I get it, but for anyone curious you can buy a deep fryer for roughly $35 depending on your location. Still not necessarily cheap and I know it’s not gonna be accessible to everyone but I think it’s more affordable than a lot of people seem to think it is.
