Watched for the first time just now. I love the PoV videos! It's really helpful to see just what the hands are doing, and no cuts.

The biggest gaps in written IMHO tend to be (a) things people do but don't realize they do, (b) things people do but assume everyone else already knows, (c) things people do more efficiently but don't think to mention (obvious example: use a cook time break to clean prep-ware).

I have learned SO MUCH about effective kitchen workflow and organization from those PoV videos. It's a completely different kettle of fish than the fancy videos where you just see conveniently pre-cut stuff falling into a pot.

Those videos completely changed the way I drain pasta noodles, from dumping them into a strainer over the sink and losing all the starchy water to scooping them out with a spider and dropping them directly into the saucepan. Seriously upped my pasta game.

I would much prefer a stable camera video. The PoV videos are unwatchable for me unless I take dramamine.

Desktop, laptop, or mobile? I was watching on mobile, so had a stable reference for most of my field of view.

Do you think using one of the newer action style cameras that does horizon leveling would help?

Yep, anything that stabilizes the picture would help immensely. It's when the camera is panning around showing what he's looking at while my head is actually stationary that it triggers severe motion sickness.

I use a gopro 9 with the strongest stabilization setting. I haven’t tried horizon leveling yet but that’s a good idea to test.

You continue to impress me with how you take what you do and your values so seriously. I honestly made the comment above with the intent to ping you with the suggestion after your current social media storm faded a touch. Thanks for teaching me how to feed myself better over the last few years.

Never ceases to amaze me who is on HN.

Thanks for all the steak science.

Yeah this is a surprising one
