/ck/ - Food & Cooking

>>18361121
not half anon be real here. it's like 10% and it's a pain in the dick but without the catch it's 100%

I'm the anon who told OP to ask on /ck/, I originally intended to send him to the knife general, but I see the weeb vs germans fight killed that thread for a bit kek.

Anyways OP doesn't have that much experience with knives yet, I'll summarize what he asked for roughly from posts earlier:

His budget is up to 200$.
He wants a japanese knife, preferably not mass produced and doesn't care about the steel type (so stainless or carbon steel are both fine). Not sure if him saying he doesn't care about the steel means he doesn't care about the type (as in stainless or carbon steel), or he doesn't care about the steel at all (as in hardness, heat treatment and quality), maybe he can elaborate on that.
As for shape he asked for an allrounder, so my guess is gyuto or santoku are the likely candidates.
As for grip, since he doesn't seem to have much experience, but like the weeb aesthetic, probably a wa-gyuto with a octagonal handle rather than a western style handle, but I am unsure if a gyuto is the best idea since he doesn't have much experience and a gyuto may chip easier.
That's all the info I had so far and since I only know my shit about mass produced knives I pointed him to the knife general hoping he'd be able to talk to the obsessive weebs or possibly shig guy.

I know that the general advice is he should either get to know more about knives and maintenance before considering such an expensive knife, or get something that can take more abuse, like a german knife, but this is 4chan and I won't stop someone from doing what they want, even if it may not be the "best" idea, so suggesting something anyways would be nice.

>I don't know why OP specified this meme burger in the first place, though.
not OP but crispy oignon with a beef patty slightly seared but also steam-cooked in the oignon goodness is pretty rad

well great uncle in Korea had water buffalo once in his 2 years an never saw beef once and my dad did a year in 'nam and never even had the pleasure of water buffalo but even his captains and majors only got water buffalo as a bonus a couple times and never beef. the locals didn't even know what beef cattle were

They are but a lot of people, eckspeshally the /ck/ kind feel better about themselves if they do it all from scratch

>>18166012
could also be that he's a self-centered piece of shit

>>18142164
a people with no work ethic

>>18138349
and then draining it? I guess that works as long as you let it steam itself dry afterward and also if you want to make sticky rice or sushi rice you're gonna need to adopt a different approach

but otherwise it's very practical

sorry anon I was hoping for more contributions of quality

>>18112139
not him but I use cast iron on mine all the time (at full bore) and never had an issue with the unit. I mean the things are cool the touch immediately after use

No, it's not. If you want eggs and carbs do scrambled on toast. Or fried with hash browns.
Nips had to settle for rice because it's all they have.

nobody really knows anon, it just has been for oolong time

>>18090627
most of the pieces got a pretty good sear on them in the end, I just didn't get a good shot. plus more importantly there was a nice heavy fond left in the pan which deglazed and went into the soop with the veggies

anon I've lift in Australia for 17 years and have never had a pure delicious buffalo wing in this country.

I will give props to the Erko in Sydney and Bleachers in Canberra but in both cases they're slightly off and it also depends on who's working. Bavarian is doing what they can but it doesn't cut it, and the Pizza Hit™ wings are trash.

I appreciate the effort in the last 8 years to offer Buffalo wings but 9 times out of 10 it's some honey soy or sweet chili trash, and when they do get it right-ish it's never 100%

wrong word

eh, i guess. it still seems cheap. i feel like a mackdonald location's profit margins would be greater and with 4x the customers in a given day

>>17905192
no it's just that coriander doesn't go in agglio e ollyo

if you agglio etc is bland it's not due to a lack of coriander

>>17904623
of course I use spices but all I'm sayin is sometimes you don't have to do things the hard way to them the right way. Some people may never ever use paprika every again etc.

also, let's be honest, premixed taco seasoning packets get the flavor balances just right. when someone's hankering for a taco that's the flavour they're craving
