I admittedly got got this idea from Serious eats, but what is your most hated task while cooking?
I hate trying to pick leaves off sprigs of thyme, but I don't find myself doing that very often. I think my least favorite thing is trying to get the papery skins off of garlic cloves. I know the tricks, like putting them in a jar or two metal bowls and shaking around, but I often find myself only needing to mince a clove or two at a time. I usually end up just smashing them with the broad side of my knife and pull the skins off, but sometimes those dang things hold on for dear life!
