Can we get an educational thread? YouTube videos and sites for people who want to build their skills?

Anything from Julia Child. Cooking basics from Martha Stewart's online cooking basics series and from Gordon Ramsay cooking videos. Anything from any Michelin starred chef such as Heston Blumenthal, Gordon Ramsay, Marco Pierre White, Thomas Keller etc.

General cooking: Kenji Lopez-Alt worked at Cook's Illustrated and runs the "Food Lab" column at Serious Eats. He's got a book out and tons of videos.
Baking: Trevor J. Wilson has some pretty good videos on shaping and his bread making process. Chad Robertson is the king of the sourdough world right now and has two books out. Ken Forkish has a book that includes yeasted breads and lots of videos detailing every process in his book.
But like >>11994 said, make sure you look up the credentials of any person that you watch a video from or buy a book from.

I learned a lot from this channel. https://www.youtube.com/user/CookinginRussia/videos
Video quality is shit and his kitchen is filthy but he explains things quite well and you quickly realize this guy knows what he's doing. He's no TV chef but a chef in Michelin star restaurant. I recommend his broth and stock videos as well as his french onion soup recipe.

Chef John from Food Wishes actually manages to be informational without sounding like a cunt.

If you know nothing about cooking chef john is a good place to start. But once you acquire some skills you realize that he uses a lot of shortcuts and dumbs down the recipes.

Forgot to add: check out https://www.gastronomixs.com/. Every month there's a featured chef with 3 complete dishes which you can access freely (if you visit every month). They also have a "components" section with easy tips and tricks.
https://www.foodpairing.com/en/home is ok as well.

Babish puts american cheese on his hamburgers so I would take his advice with some caution. He was right about toasting the buns though

American cheese provides an ideal texture for cheeseburgers.
(Goo is desired; stretchy chew is not.)
Parmesan crisps are right out.
Short of making a cheese sauce and then broiling it until it begins to brown, I'm not seeing an improvement over Murrican for cheeseburger purposes.
(Didn't Heston basically make his own American cheese for his ultimate cheeseburger, anyway?)

All have superior flavor, and if sliced thinly will still melt to achieve a similar consistency. I will give you that American "cheese" does have better texture overall, but it doesn't taste nearly as good as any variety of real cheese.

Some good advice like using a big cutting board.
This is a bad video that recommends buying lots of expensive shit as "essential".
>Cooking is attractive like playing guitar it demonstrates your prowess with your hands your sophisticated knowledge of an
art form and is a demonstrate value to look for a partner.
WTF, his reason for why you should cook is how it looks to others.
>These bowls are by oxo good grips and they might be the oldest thing that I have in the kitchen they've given me ten years of reliable service.
10 years old is the oldest he has in his kitchen!

American cheese can be made from any other cheddar, retaining a good portion of its flavor. If you think Krap singles are the only game in town, give the Boar's Head white american a whirl. You may be surprised
