  I like how James is very reasonable with his input and criticism, he understands not everyone has time/money/skills of a pro chef and judges fairly

  Also worthy of note, here in Spain people prefer their tortillas with varying degrees of doneness. Outwardly, all tortillas de patatas look similar, but some tortillas are really runny on the inside, and a lot of people love that. I know I do. There&apos;s even a regional variant (Tortilla de Betanzos) that is relatively famous here. It&apos;s just eggs, potatoes, oil and salt, but it&apos;s just incredibly creamy. If you live in the EU, or are 100% sure your eggs don&apos;t carry salmonella, you might want to not cook your tortilla fully. You may end up loving it!<br><br>And as usual, wonderful video, James!

  To me personally, adam ragusea is the absolute pinnacle of what a home cook looks like, he makes solid points regarding things like convenience, amount of plates and vessels used, safety and all that kind of stuff that maybe pros take for granted or dont really talk about most times (which isn&apos;t wrong by any means, it&apos;s just different styles of cooking)

  This is a good quality reaction video. Constructive critizism, good commentary coming from a well educated source who is knowledgeable on the subject matter, the commentary adding to the video being reacted to. Honestly, this is well put together educational content

  One of the main reasons I love Adam&apos;s videos is that he isn&apos;t a pro chef with a whole studio, assistants, expensive equipment and 3 billion pots and pans and bowls to put ingredients in.<br>He&apos;s a home cook like 99% of people watching these kinds of videos and gives solid advice that works for home cooking.<br>As for the reaction I really like keeping it reasonable and down to earth. Not nitpicking at everything bc it&apos;s not how it&apos;s done in the restaurants or whatnot. Same kind of vibe as Adam&apos;s videos.

  I only just started watching your videos and I’ll admit I was a bit concerned that it would be… err, gatekeepy? You’ll actually hear Ragusea, as well as Kenji Lopez Alt, talk about this a lot. But, instead, I’ve found you to be extremely knowledgeable while also respecting the simplicity of just making food at home to eat and enjoy. No wrong ways, just traditional ways! And so I’m appreciating getting a chance to learn some of the more traditional things from these videos.

  Adam may not have the “best” techniques but I think as someone who just wants to learn cooking to make good food at home during a busy schedule, he’s the perfect channel to watch. And also he got me into cooking so I may be biased. Anyways I enjoyed the reaction!

  Regarding Adam&apos;s use of the word Tortilla meaning &apos;little cake&apos;, he is absolutely correct. It&apos;s just that &apos;cake&apos; has a different meaning to what we might understand in a modern context. If you look at the pinned comment of the video, he provided some sources over it&apos;s etymology.

  It&apos;s very interesting getting your perspective on things Vs &quot;home-cook style&quot; content. Particularly the focus on safety and cleanliness, if you are doing something 10, 50 or hundreds of times a day, these things become much more important and time consuming to deal with. <br><br>For example, the risk of tasting semi raw egg becomes considerable when you aren&apos;t just doing it once! Great video as always!

  I’m glad I found this channel. There’s two types of cooking channels I watch; the home cook (like Adam Ragusea) and the pro chef (like Brian Lagerstrom). Your channel is nice because of the handful of videos I’ve seen it’s a nice bridge between the two, high level experience and knowledge combined with pragmatism of understanding the average person’s cooking situation

  I always like how Adam doesn’t shy away from when he f***s up lol. He’ll make a mistake or figure something out and just say “Oh by the way, don’t do that.” Lol
