It sounds like you're a pretty experienced chef and we're targeting beginners (that experience question was more to get a sense of who our users are).

If you consider that we're trying to start with levels 1, 2, and 3 of cooking before moving on to the far more advanced topics, do you still think it's useless? Or does your perspective change?

Thanks for the note about the questions that are potentially culturally insulting. I actually have a wok at home so I'm gonna look into that one personally!

I'm curious if you've actually interviewed users who can't identify a friend vs scrambled egg and how much of this demographic exists. That example seems like something you'd learn from simply ordering breakfast a couple of times.

Or by learning the meaning of the word "scrambled".

Apparently my phone chose "friend" rather than "fried" but hopefully that was pretty clear.
