Of course I will forget. This question is just like the text we recite at school. How much can you remember up to now? Can you remember in detail all kinds of interesting little experiments we did in physical chemistry class? It feels like 99% people have forgotten. So even if you learn to cook, you should always practice. Practice makes perfect. Moreover, cooking is a very technical housework. Every time you put the food at a different time, the degree of heat is different, even the nuances of putting various condiments are different, and the taste of the cooked food will be very different.

Take my favorite dish "sweet and sour pork tenderloin" for example. When I first cooked it, my mother always instructed me when to cook it and when to season it. Every step is done carefully and tastes good. However, every time I do it alone, there are often various problems. Sometimes the tenderloin is fried too hard, and sometimes the tomato sauce and sugar are too sweet and greasy. Another time, it was outrageous. The meat was cut too big, burnt outside and undercooked inside. In short, the taste is different every time. Because I love to eat, I want to order every time I go out to eat, and the sweet and sour tenderloin made in different restaurants has its own flavor. After my own continuous thinking, I have done a great job in learning and practicing this dish. But my mother taught me other cooking skills and almost forgot all about it. Even if you give me rich ingredients, you can only make a hodgepodge, which is a pity to eat.

Therefore, even if you learn to cook, you should always practice more and keep improving. Just like when we were young, we often recited "mowing the grass at noon", and everyone knew what the next sentence was. Because of frequent practice, it is often said that it has been integrated into our blood and formed a natural reflex of conditions. And it's not just cooking, we've learned all kinds of skills, and we have to review the old and learn the new to achieve mastery.
