The 'Follow the Recipe' Man

Ryuji-shi transformed into the 'Follow the Recipe Man' after being shocked by the realization that people weren't making things exactly as he said. I wonder when he will appear in a video with this persona. I'm really looking forward to it.

The viewer's failure was with microwave fried rice. In microwave cooking, theoretically, if the amount of ingredients is doubled, the same cooking result should be achieved by doubling the energy (heat) applied, so doubling the heating time should yield reasonably good results. If the viewer's mistake was using the same heating time as for one person, I would have transformed into the 'Go Back to Middle School Physics Man'.

Of course, doubling the heating time doesn't guarantee success. The risk of uneven heating likely increases as the quantity increases. In this sense, microwave cooking might not be suited for scaling up.

However, honestly, I don't think things like opening the container to find the egg is still raw count as a failure. It's just a matter of heating it a bit more

It was over 10 years ago, but at a friend's house, her husband served us homemade curry. The curry he made, as he wasn't used to cooking, turned out quite thick, and he served it to us while feeling apologetic about it. I was, of course, grateful and ate it, but I remember a simple question popping into my head: 'If it's too thick, why not just thin it out with water...?'.

When things deviate from the expected outcome, I thought that perhaps there are cases where people end up eating a 'failed dish' because they are so fixated on the recipe that they give up on making adjustments outside of it and just finish it as is. In this case, you could even say the recipe is acting as a shackle.

Until you gain the ability to make adjustments, it's safer to follow the recipe as written.
That said, in reality, there are various situations, like wanting to increase the number of servings or wanting to use up all your ingredients.
If you're going to arrange a recipe, you are responsible for the final result.Why not try your best without giving up, even on the recovery? This is what I, as a senior in being bad at cooking who learns from failures every day, want to say.
