Wanna be a cook? Learn the proper use of the reduntant words "out" and
"up" and learn to glorify your work, regardless of its mediocrity.

Giada does it a lot:

Measure out
Thaw out
Grill up
Pack up (cookies)
My perfect (whatever)

SLee is worse:

Mix this up
Cook this up
Stir this up
Toast this up
While these are baking up
Finish off (my rice)
It's thickening up
Finish up
Press these down (patties)
My super super simple (whatever)
My phenomenal (whatever)
My wonderful (whatever)

Then SLee makes the most incredible statement. She wraps bacon around
a hot dog and "cooks it up" and says, "Kids love these and it's an
easy way to get protein into them."

Yep. Also a good way to watch them "fatten up".

Some kids need fattening up. Some don't. I weighed 135 pounds at 6'2".
I like hot dogs, slit lengthwise, stuffed with cheese, and bacon on top.
I bake them in a medium oven until the bacon is done (I sometimes nuke
the bacon a little first, until it is limp). I like these eaten with
knife and fork, with horseradish mustard. At my current weight, once or
twice a year is enough.

You forgot "off," the most popular redundancy ever: cook off, sear
off, fry off, bake off, braise off, stew off, etc. etc. ad nauseum.
The competitors on Top Chef were particularly egregious, but many of
the FTV stars are guilty, too.

"Pop it into the oven!" I grow weary of hearing that phrase over and over.

WOW! You were a real string bean. My hubby was 135 at 5'10" and

For whatever reason, that's pretty common in commercial kitchens. As is
f*** off, during the height of Friday or Saturday night's dinner service!
