I'm with you on all of them except the kitchen towel as pot holder. They don't protect, get in stuff/wet/dirty/scorched, etc. Am glad the silicone grips are more ubiquitous now.

For me personally as a home cook, I learned to take advantage of gaps in the cooking process to wash the dishes and keep the sink area as clear as possible to facilitate movement and maximize working space for when the cooking process gets hot and heavy.

I have a top drawer just below the counter top and to the right of stovetop. Here I keep it empty, but as I get ready to cook a meal I move the needed utensils, measuring cups, measuring spoons, knives, cuptowels, that will be used, it keeps my countertop clear, it's easy to do, after cooking so many meals I know exactly what I will need, it is waiting in one place, a single hand move away. I keep a trash bowl on the counter as Ive watched on the test kitchen, and a deep tall container with water, here I drop used utensils, measuring cups, etc. My vision is limited on some days due to screen time. The organization helps, and I thank you for your tips. I love the test kitchen books, amazing, my hope is when I'm no longer here in my kitchen family members will cherish them.

Bump up the volume before you upload, check audio meters

Don't stress about not having a specific ingredient, determine an appropriate substitute and use what you got on hand.

Reading the recipe a couple times seems obvious enough but it really does help. You can also make substitutes before hand.

*Things coming off the cutting board should go into your compost bucket…not the trash. Please.

The guy who said "cook outside your comfort zone" will be a Michelin star chef one day. It's just a vibe I'm getting, OK?

Vegetable cuttings are not trash. They go into a composting system.
