I relistened to the Christmas Roast story and it really is mindboggling how incredibly stupid Phil is.

From the way he goes through the progression of the cook it sounds like he never used a cooking thermometer. He just read "cook for 90 minutes" in the recipe and tossed it in there, probably didn't even look at it and just pulled it out when his timer dinged 90 minutes.

You can't fucking do that. A recipe can't take into account every different oven ever made. Knowing him he probably didn't even take meat size into consideration. You have to check the fucking temperature when you chuck a huge slab of meat in the oven, lmao.

He also says that the recipe is wrong because it said to rub seasoning on the meat before cooking and it didn't taste of anything.

Like... what does he think seasoning is? How can you possibly assume the recipe is wrong because your outcome didn't taste of anything? Seasoning just works and if it doesn't there's an issue with the quality of the ingredients used or how they're cooked. Sounds like he burned them to a crisp. Does he think nutmeg just doesn't taste of anything and the recipe lied by telling him to use it?
