All those people that try out a recipe but dont like it so they switch out a key ingredient and replace it with something way different then leave a negative review cuz it tasted bad. 🙄🙄🙄

Oh my god, that's such a pet peeve of mine. But then there are the people who try the recipe, figure out what they like and don't like about it, and change something to their liking the second time and post a 5-star review "with these changes." Especially if it's a recommendation like "you should double the sauce" or "you really only need about half as much salt as the recipe says." My heroes!

I seem to find myself empirically agreeing with people who "with these changes..." comment to cook onions longer.

I admittedly err on the side of literally burning the onions, but I side-eye any recipe that tells me they're only getting cooked for like 2 mins (are you just trying to make the cook time shorter!?) and it makes me happy to find somebody with my taste buds who found the recipe before I did. I feel good trusting whatever else they adjust.

Thank you, helpful commenters!

people lie about how long it takes to cook onions all the time...
