From his jalapeño popper potato skin video today. Even the best cooks on this sub have more to learn but we gotta be real sometimes. Three minutes on reducing a broth for an exotic french dish is like telling Lewis Hamilton how to drive a manual: useful but unnecessary.

EDIT: maybe a better analogy would be changing tires and basic car maintenance. Those videos are invaluable for so many of us. But none of the basic stuff is necessary in a transmission swap video. Some basic knowledge should be assumed for some recipes.
