Also your stove is last generation so the pan can only get warm but not boil.
4At least you know you went get a Stock Overflow error
1Legit issue with induction stoves. The pan doesn't even get recognized if it's not made for it. Old emaille pans work just fine though

In a way, cooking still has that “deprecation” feel. Like when you use a kitchen tool that is like 2 orders of magnitude above what you are currently using.
For me it was knives. It was a serrated knife set that was a gift and got me through college. Once I got a real job and could get something of quality. A friend recommended I change out my knives for a chef quality knives. Started out with some Global knives and have never went back to my old set. Been slowly adding over time (ie, bread knife, cleaver, paring).
Also, switched from non-stick to stainless steel because fuck PFOA. Also picked up a quality rice cooker from Zojirushi.
Technique can get you very far in cooking, but to make that dish perfect got to have the right tools.
3Also screw knife sets in general. A chef's knife and a pairing knife will get you through basically everything

On a serious note, I love cooking and washing and cleaning. I'm not staring at a screen and the objective is clear.
I'm not contemplating whether this is worth my time or stressed about other things. Although, I don't cook for many people so I guess my outlook would be different in those cases.
2I hate cooking. I don't know the requirements, theres insufficient time for tasks, this language has no garbage collector so I easily run out of counterspace...
The specifications can be wildly non-sprcific im regards to cook time, expecting me to calculate performance of my appliances.
I can give the same inputs and the outputs can vary consistently.

1You don't suddenly find out that your peeler is several versions behind
And then proceed to spend 17 hours trying to get it to peel just the way the invetors wanted it to, which is different from the other 987654321 peelers around.
After 20 years in the field, I
hatelovedespiselike'm ok with technology1You shouldn't even be using a peeler in the first place! smh.
1Hm... you know... I have cooking equipment that needs updates from time to time. But it's fine, it's behind a firewall!
1following a recipe is like executing an algorithm, except there is no segmentation fault. whats not to like.
1Well that's not entirely true. But I only lit the stove on fire once.
