I’ve thought about it a bunch and I think it is art vs science. Cooking requires adjusting constantly to how it is going as you do it, tasting it until it is right. Baking requires precision at every step in most cases and preparation. I’ve rarely met someone that sees themselves as both a baker and a cook. I suck at baking but can cook.
Better than Boullian jars from Costco
As a person who cooks, I say you are cooking at this point. Throw some leftover meat in that ramen too, chopped up at the bottom of the bowl, or even lunchmeat in strips. My son’s favorite is mac and cheese with a hotdog chopped up in it. Put some black pepper on it and call it gourmet 😜
To date, I think, a robot has not killed anyone. Nor, I think, has anyone used a robot to kill someone else. Pushing back on that with a few examples
2016, a line in the sand was crossed (my opinion), this is a robot killing someone (controlled by humans) https://www.aclu.org/news/criminal-law-reform/use-killer-robots-police

And also: AI chose targets for the US bombs: https://www.armscontrol.org/act/2026-05/news/ai-plays-major-role-war-iran
That is only what is reported. I’ll bet you a nickle the tech is in use, killing humans, right now.
Go on please with the chicken recipe. I assume you are drenching it in sauce? Recipe pls. It doesn’t have to be specific. I’ll start. I’ve been doing thighs with a gojujang, honey, soy sauce, powdered ginger mixture (eyeball it according to taste, don’t add salt if you have the soy). I use a cast iron pan because you can throw it in the oven, render the fat side in the pan on the stove (cold pan, fat side down in cast iron, turn heat to med, let it sit for 10-12 minutes or more until it is browning noticeably, then flip, hammer them with that sauce, throw it in a 375 oven and let it go 35 minutes (In your case an hour or more, that does seem like a lot). I pull them after about 25 minutes, sauce them again and crank the oven to 450, for the last 10 minutes.
