It has it's uses, for example; I want to make a few HQ Pastry Fish. My culinarian is 50 and has so much control that I can HQ with normal materials.

However, there's no Pie Dough on the market place/it's ridiculously overpriced. Great so I gotta make it myself.

Since I don't care if the dough is HQ or not I'll just grab some mats and throw on quick synthesis.
