Kids are brutal, but "homework with dice" is honestly kinda catchy.

Fifteen years of Sunday baking and I still pre-cut my parchment and fold it into the pan corners without crumpling first. The ridges on the muffin sides never bothered me much, and honestly they give the muffins a homemade look that box mix brands try to fake. Plus crumpling the paper adds an extra step and makes the paper thinner in spots, so I’ve had it tear when pulling the muffins out. If your muffins taste good, a few creases on the outside don’t change anything.

Three weeks of yelling over salt? That chef must have had some serious patience, or maybe just a really loud voice.
