Those who have watched at least one episode of Hell's Kitchen probably know that no matter your skill level, if Gordon Ramsay walks in on you operating a stove or maybe even chopping up some veggies, he will find a habit of yours that would actually be considered a disgrace in a Michelin-star restaurant.
But that's the thing. Most of us aren't making dishes so the front of the house can sell them for tens or even hundreds of dollars. We're just trying to get some calories in on a Tuesday evening. Which is why we are not only ignorant of the rules but also sometimes straight up choose to reject them altogether.
So when Reddit user Timecoyote asked the platform's community r/Cooking, "What's a cooking sin you won't even try to defend, yet you do it anyway?" many people replied. In less than a few weeks, their post has already received over 4.8K upvotes and 3.9K comments, full of honest confessions. Continue scrolling to check them out.

Most of the time I don't preheat the oven. I just stick stuff in there cold and add ten minutes or so to the time.

I once used mayonnaise to make pasta dough because I ran out of eggs. Actually came out really well.

Not really cooking but I sometimes grind enough coffee beans for several days. Never noticed a big difference.
