>doesn't read reviews or comments of online recipe before trying it
you deserved it.

>>8284820
It was rated 5 stars. It's like as if I went to go see iron man in theatres and all the reviews rated it 5 stars because they liked brokeback mountain.

>>8284870
Trusting movie reviews like that is pointless too.

I haven't seen many good online recipes that don't need at least a little tweaking.

>>8284882
This wasn't just a little tweaking. This was like a zero star. The reviews should have said shit like : USE HALF THE AMOUNT OF SESAME instead of : PERFECT RECIPE. That gives the impression that the recipe is perfect and there is nothing to improve even though the reviewers knew and stated in the very bottoms of their reviews as a footnote that the sesame was overpowered.

More like

>See a recipe
>Check the 1 star reviews to see if there's anything gravely wrong
>"I DON'T REALLY LIKE [INGREDIENT]/I THOUGHT THERE WAS TOO MUCH X/I CAN'T EAT Y SO I SUBSTITUTED/REDUCED/REMOVED THIS AND IT WAS BAD"

Usually they complain about what they substituted too

Kek. I'm not hurt I'm just pissed off that people don't understand how reviewing and rating stuff works. When you review a product, you review the product you bought, not a product similar to the one you bought.

>"I'm not hurt I'm just pissed off"

If you've been cooking for a while common sense should kick in, unless of course you's a little soft in the head. I hear you though, happened to me a few times, didn't read reviews, tried to do recipe as instructed, but then realized it's too much oil or whatever other ingredient and cut it down. Nowadays I look for different recipes of the same thing online and modify it, never follow one recipe. You have to realize half these freaks rating probably think Olive Garden and whatever is good Italian food. I mean look at people like Jack on dooftube and read his reviews, most of them are people praising him.

I'm not even American. Hilary is a stupid dyke.

I'd had experience with sesame seed before, just not sesame oil. It was way more potent than I expected, but I still followed the recipe to rule. Next time I'll stick to my gut when it comes to cooking.

I usually stay away from allrecipes, too many "add one can of campbells cream of mushroom soup" type recipes.

epicurious.com is a good place to find quality recipes.

I usually use epicurious except I was on my mobile and I can't get the app anymore so I went with allrecipes. To be brutally honest I trust you guys on /ck/ more than I trust any other cooking website.
