The sous chef at my old place in Portland called me lazy for not tasting the pickling brine
She said a good chef tastes every step, not just the end, and honestly she was right, my pickles were flat compared to hers, so now I force myself to taste every single component mid-cook, even if it's just salt water, has anyone else had that conversation?

Taste salt water all day and you'll never enjoy a full meal again, but yeah, that chef had a point if your pickles really were flat. Just don't let it turn into a ritual where you're second guessing a pot of boiling pasta water.
