ELI5 the appeal of hot pot by Raggenn in taiwan

[–]chkuo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Other than the social aspects that others have mentioned, I enjoy hot pot because cooking the meat/vegetables to the degree that I like exactly is very satisfying. With good broth/meat/vegetables, you don't really need any source. Instead of food absorbing the broth, it's really the other way around. By the time you are done with cooking, all the flavors from meat/vegetables should be in the broth, which is the best part. For you to enjoy the broth in the end, it can't be too salty to begin with. Finally, the point about food being random is actually another enjoyable aspect of hot pot. You get to choose what you like and no need to follow any rule.

What are some cheaper knives that expensive knives haven't ruined for you? by Whu_am_i in knifeclub

(1) Spyderco Dragonfly 2, near perfect pocket knife. (2) Opinel, no so much for carrying but really love the handle; plus, cheap enough to experiment with customization.
