For context, my wife is always criticizing how I don’t add enough salt to the dishes I cook. I also have no tats. She does.

But at least you can always add more salt lol

    You need to add salt as you cook. Yes, you can add it afterwards, but you don’t get the same flavor layering, food texture, salt penetration, and for some foods, the necessary chemical reactions in your dishes. In some sense, I feel confident that your wife is right based purely on the fact that you think you can just add salt after it’s cooked and get the same thing.

      I’m a white dude with no tattoos, but I have this argument all the time with my family. “You can add hot sauce and salt afterward for yourself!” That’s not how this works Susan. That’s not how any of this works. All of cooking is chemistry and physics! And get over it! If I’m cooking I’m using salt and guajillio peppers!

        Eating too much salt is not healthy and throwing spicy peppers when the one that are going to eat don’t handle spicy is just being an asshole tbh.

          Fuck being healthy at this point tbh, I just want to have a good time until I die, we’re all fucked anyways so what’s even the point, I get to suffer longer in old age from the climate wars? Great.

            Cool? The context is cooking for other people, if they don’t think the same as you you are just being an asshole.

              I’m sorry, I wasn’t really thinking about the context, I’m just in a bit of a dark mood at the moment. Thank you for your reply. Much love

        I think gay is tattoo equivalent for cooking…

      Yeah, it generally works fine for sauces, but you’re not going to get salt to permeate into your noodles from just throwing it on top afterwards, for example.
