/ck/ - Food & Cooking

this is perfect for my dumb question,
very new to deep fried chicken here, how the fuck is deep fried chicken made to look like pic related? i've followed some "kfc recipe" standard shit for but the fried chicken doesn't get this bready soft crust, instead it's hard and crunchy, still very tasty though.

>>10235886
1. Double batter
2. Fry at low temp for most of cooking process, then flash on a higher temp for max crisp

>>10235888
thanks!

>>10235895
It is a bit vague, but you're welcome all the same!
Obviously your cooking times vary quite a bit depending on the thiccness, but being attentive and having a meat thermometer will help quite a bit.

i cover chicken thighs with foil and roast them at 400F for 50 minutes and they come out nice and juicy

if i throw chicken breasts in with them, will they come out dry or will they absorb the juices/steam from the thighs?

>There are a lot of dumb questions on /ck/ that don't get 5 replies and die because they don't deserve their own thread
If people would do any amount of research they wouldn't happen.

good lord that looks awful!!!

My gnocchis are awful. How do you do them?

>>10236126
i add a little to rice any time i do turmeric rice just so it has an aroma and a slight flavor.

>>10236126
begin frying 2 sliced onions then chuck in

2 x tsp garam masala
1 x tsp tumeric
1 x tsp coriander

let it all congeal for a bit and then add the cream of the top of a tin of coconut milk and you can make some delicious curries with almost any meat / veg

I got a question that really doesn't deserve it's own thread.

I'm trying to cut down on my cooking costs and I have the sous vide meme at my disposal. I've been cheating for the last year by only making beef/lamb which I usually season the same but pork and chicken are much cheaper
What spices/marinades should I try for cheap stuff such as legs/thighs/belly/chops? I know Paprika is supposed to be good but I'm looking to up my game from the usual salt and pepper.

What do I eat to make the diarrhea stop?

>>10238753
I recently moved to a country where beef is ridiculously expensive, as is lamb. Chicken can be had whole for ok prices, whilst fillets really only merit buying at a discount - so I feel ya.

What I do now is look for mince beef at a discount in bulk, say 2.5kg, then use half to make chili and half to make burger patties. Freeze all of the prepared-yet-raw patties and half the done chili.

Something I've come to quite enjoy is slow roasting chicken. I usually rub it in a mix of lemon juice, olive oil, black pepper, salt and thyme - then pop it in the oven, covered in foil, at 120C for about 5-6 hours, turning and glazing with the juices in every hour or so.

Usually makes for a nice dinner for two and I then debone the cooled entire chicken and pluck it into useable bits. This then makes for about 4 meals worth for either stir fry or sandwiches. Costs are at a minimum and it's really quite delicious.

I feel lazy as shit. What's a quick way to prepare chicken? I've tried baking but it tasted like shit for some reason.

What's the best way to cook sous vide steak? Already making the best steaks of my life using a newly acquired sous vide machine but know it can be even better. Any good recipes for chicken or pork using sous vide?

>>10239093
Microwave for 15 minutes. Have ketchup on hand.

Quick prep. And it's thighs.

kfc is pressure deep fried so you'll have a hard time achieving that style without a pressure fryer

Can you cook thin steaks in a cast iron pan or is not worth it?

Who that boy, who him is?

Canada is banning raw milk so now trump supporters are drinking it to trigger libtards.

Question: why would anyone willingly drink this, the thought makes me puke.

>>10236126
Throw that shit out. We're doing this live!

>>10239093
Slather mayo on chicken, put parmesan on that, then bake until done

>>10239183
qtddtot is from /fit/, which I copied the idea from

>>10235915
I think you're gonna have to experiment this one. Personally I doubt that a properly marinated chicken breast would dry out or absorb the thighs juices under those conditions.

>>10240609
what if I don't marinate? I'm usually too lazy to do that with the thighs so I just season them and pop them in the oven

>>10236126
I like that other guys rice idea. Could make for an interesting dry rub for say skin on chicken thighs done low and slow.

>>10240225
its the opposite here in San Francisco. hippies are drinking raw milk. my friend tried it for a while, sourced from his local farmer's market, but when I last saw him he told me he was vomiting all weekend and that raw milk wasnt safe.

>>10240635
i think milk by itself is gross anyways but why do they drink it raw? is it supposed to taste better?

>>10240648
more natural, less "chemicals" more authentic taste. its sort of like the cane sugar vs fructose sugar debate but obviously more risky and dangerous.

>>10238753
I think a dry rub is kinda wasted on a sous vide. So I suggest marinades. Add spices and aromatics to an acid, alcohol, or yogurt. Marinate in that. Vacuum seal it for 20 to let the marinade soak in hyper fast then drain the marinade and reseal, sous vide. Sear afterwards. Put on a plate with a grain/starch side, and a veggie side. Garnish.

>>10238782
Imodium. Don't take to much or you won't shit for a week. Stop drinking. Eat more soluble and non-soluble fiber. Get some wet wipes in the mean time.

>>10239351
of course you can

>>10240225
if Canada is banning raw milk does that mean Quebec is going to stop making unpasteurized cheese? Because that is going to piss me the hell off

>>10239093
Properly marinate it for a significant period of time then bake it at 425 till the juices run clear. Add an herb butter or mustard glaze if you want. Fuck you can just baste it in BBQ sauce the entire time it cooks and end up with a thick glaze of BBQ on it.

>>10240648
It tastes better but imo if you can get your hands on high end pasteurized milk you're not sacrificing taste and you are paying about the same for a safer product see Oberweis dairy

>>10240615
Your chicken breast is going to be dry and flavorless if you don't marinate it. Just put some white wine, or lemon juice, or apple cider vinegar in a ziploc with spices and aromatics for 30 minutes with the chicken breasts and it will taste way better.

I mean just let the questions be asked and answered. So what if they only receive a few answers. Some questions only have one answer. What the fuck is your problem? Want to condense real posting into a single thread to leave more threads for product shilling? Go fuck yourself.

>>10240665
Pasteurization doesn't add any "chemicals", you little cunt (sorry, i'm new to this)

>>10240665
>cane sugar vs fructose sugar
Where does fructose come from?

>>10240756
I'm thinking (hoping) he means corn sugar (hfcs)

>>10240734
>>10240756
I think he's saying hippies who are afraid of things like GMOs and fancy words like DNA and HFCS and chemicals prefer things to be "natural" and "organic" and raw milk seems more natural and safe/healthy to them because it is less processed ie unpasteurized and unhomogenized

in short hippies are alarmist morons

Had someone argue that the sugar in fruit is healthier than "refined sugar" (table sugar, not hfcs). He wouldn't accept that the so-called "refined" sugar was literally the same exact chemical composition found inside fruits.

>>10238812
Did you move to Asia, m8?

>>10236126
lots of cayenne pepper + garam masala + potato wedges

best damn wedges I've ever had

>>10240776
It is, but your body tries to break all sugars down into glucose. Some sugars like fructose can take longer to break down than sucrose. What the guy was shittily saying is that he thinks eating more complex sugars means you'll lose weight. There is no conclusive proof of this other than saying "Huh it takes like two extra steps to turn into glucose, must be way healthier"

>>10240816
ps. btw this is kind of a stupid idea because table sugar is sucrose from beets and cane and still needs to be broken down into glucose by the liver. Fructose which is a common mono-saccharide in fruits and vegetables is basically the same more or less. Also glucose is a naturally appearing sugar along with all the others in food so I don't know what the fuck that guy was talking about in retrospect. Having a different metabolic pathway for a sugar doesn't mean the sugar still isn't metabolized.

>>10235886
>>10235888
You don't get a crust like that with batter only breading.

>>10239246
That has nothing to do with the crust he is talking about

>>10236123
Close. After the brine and before you start breading you need to sprinkle some of your seasoned eggwash into your seasoned flour mixture. This creates all of those little crags and crunchies on the outside of the chicken instead of an breading of even thickness. It is best to pat your chicken dry before starting breading and letting them sit after breading before frying is also beneficial as well.

You also do not want your oil too hot especially with bone in chicken and even more so with larger cuts like bone in breast. You don't want to burn your breading before your chicken is done.

>>10236316
Gnocchi is very simple to make.

Make a simple choux paste

rice potatoes

fold into choux paste with seasoning and what not

don't over mix

Parboil

pan fry in butter.

>>10239213
You can pan fry a chicken thigh in less than 5 minutes.

>>10240837
i'm not aboard the alarmist anti-refined sugar train, but i will point out that context can matter, in terms of digestion and glycemic index. even if the HFCS in, say, a can of soda is the same as (or similar to) chemical molecules in an orange, there is fiber and vitamins in the fruit and you body will react differently to it. i think the biggest "danger" of refined sugars is how they are added to everything, so you end up eating more sugar than you normally should get from bread/pasta sauce/canned fruits and vegetables/whatever. not inherently bad, but bad when overused (like many things in the nutrition world).

How do I learn to make bomb tacos?
How do I serve them to people in Canada?
How to do this with no money?

If I leave a Crunchwrap Supreme on my desk for 12 hours, will it be unhealthy to eat later?

>>10242600
It's not healthy to eat it in general. But I doubt it would make you sick.

>>10242584
I wold advise against it. Canadians generally hate spicy food and associate Mexican good with flaming hot mouth on fire. They think the taco bell hot sauce is too hot. The only places that get away with spicy food are curry places because of the huge amount of Indians that immigrated here this century

>>10242762
There's 1 place in my city that serves them. A little hipster place but fuck are they ever good. I realized no one is doing it??? but yeah I guess I'll just serve poutine and hang my self

My friend shot a bunch of geese and now has a ton of goose breast, and we want to cook it up. She said that some kind of goose with tomato sauce and cheese was good, which im slightly skeptical of, and online I can't find a lot of decent dishes that aren't "roast it with apples" or something similar

Anyone have any recipes for goose? Not a whole goose, just the breasts

I had a Spanish friend as a kid and his mum used to make this fried beefthing with rice that was delicious and she always gave me some when she made it because she knew I loved it. What was this dish?

>>10242992
make goose parmesean

>>10242992

Diarrhea is the result of whatever you're currently eating.

femanons, what are some meals that would impress you?

>>10244600

>>10244600
anything that is seasoned well, cooked precisely, and not drowning in grease

>>10240765
>>10240756
yes that's what I meant. I meant to type fructose syrup to be more clear.

>>10236316
you have to get the patooto through a sieve, only then is it mashed enough for the gnocchi

>>10236316
roast the potatoes for an hour at 500 then refrigerate overnight.
potato thru a ricer or mashed through whatever strainer/fine cheese grater you have. mix the potatoes and flour completely and break down any large chunked before you mix the eggs.
1 cup 00 flour to 3 potatoes to 1-2eggs

when you roll and cut them (and thoughout the whole process) the amount of pressure you put on the dough will etermine the bite of the gnocchi. i like mine more al dente so i work the dough a lot. some people like it fluffy or mushy so will use more flour and barely work it or use more egg and barely work it respectively

Why doesn't my chicken brown nicely?

Why is chiken so gross raw but beef steak is ok

>>10245252
Chicken isn't gross raw if you are using quality ingredients and its prepared properly. I've had a couple different chicken tartares that were great.

Pretty much any meat can be consumed raw or rare/medium rare and be delicious if you have the right preparation and the product is of good quality.

Many game birds are cooked mid-rare. Mett is a popular dish and is raw ground pork. Rabbit, lamb, venison, are all good as well and then you have the obvious fish and seafood.

>>10245467
Also you're going to get food poisoning from raw chicken.

>>10247224
No, chicken is just more prone to developing salmonella than beef.
Really fresh butchered chicken you can eat raw just fine.

Thing is with you amerifucks is that all your meat are subpar chemical ridden shitshows.(most of the time)

>>10244845
too moist probably. at least the skin is. do your normal prep with marinades or whatever. Then when you're going to season the skin, dry it throughly, mix in some baking powder with your spices, applying it to the skin will cause it to dry out in the oven, making it nice and brown.

>>10247262

Yeah, I'm sure you eat your chicken immediately after it's butchered in front of you instead of buying it from the supermarket like normal people.

Anyone have any good salmon recipes? There's only so many times I can do some sort of honey glazed thing or just salt and pepper before I get bored.

>>10235830
Is there a way to make my coil stovetop even and less wobbly?

you can replace the coils if they're really bad. they're usually around $10

When making cookies, should I leave the dough overnight to chill or use after a short chill? Making chocolate chip cookies for the first time (for a friend) and apparently the longer you leave the dough the better they taste or something?

>>10247695
Do half and half and see which comes out better.

I don't find there's a difference.

I got some boneless skinless chicken thighs that I tried stir-frying a few times. Some parts tasted alright, but some (the darker parts) have this offputting bloody taste to them that I want to get rid of. Rest of the thighs are sitting in the freezer, what do?

I want to do some kind of meal prep that's not too heavy in calories, but I don't want to cook everything at once. What I've been doing, for example, is taking chicken breast and putting it in a bag with marinade in the freezer (pic semi-related). When I want to use it, I put move it to the fridge that morning and it thaws out by dinner. Are there any other things I could try?

How long should I let chicken soup simmer for? I had some leftover bones from thighs and decided to put them to use, even though Ive never made that kind of soup before.
How long can I expect until all the meat falls off the bones?

In video below I tried the cannoli bean mix and added anchovy to the mixture as I was frying. Served with rice instead of price because poorfag.

It was tasty and has potential but theres definitely something missing. Any idea on how to jazz it up?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IUDMuyITLCc

>>10248614
•rice instead of bread

>>10248164
Never made skinless thighs (and Ive never even found boneless skinless here so I have to debone them myself), but I usually fry the skinside on medium for a couple of minutes, flip them, put them in the oven at 100C until the meal is done.
Meanwhile fry up whatever veggies you have (onions, zucchini and cherrytomatoes are a good combo imo) and toss in some white wine/ broth/ vinegar mixture to make the sauce. Reduce the sauce, place the thighs back into the pan and serve.
Havent had any strange tasting brown bits ever, but I guess it could be the quality of chicken? Still Im using the cheapest I can get (Lidl) and they turn out wonderful.

Maybe the difference is (and I really should mention this) that I dont cook my thighs all the way through in the pan. They are usually JUST under being done, and finish during their 10 minutes or so in the oven even if only at 100C. No idea if thats what makes the difference but its a possibility.

>>10243790
why not try to get in contact with that friend and asking him directly?

>>10243790
Probably just spanish rice with beef, or paella with beef instead of seafood.

Spanish rice is fried rice with tomato sauce
Beef paella is paella... with beef.

>>10247422
Try tartines or bruschetta.
Mix it with fruit jam
Bagel+goat cheese+mustard greens+salmon is a sensation not to dissimilar to kissing girl toes.

My mother did something like this. She'd brown the rice in a little bit of oil, then put it aside and brown some beef in the same pan, then cover it all under some water, tomatoes and peas, stew it for 20-30 minutes or so and then, walla

Pizza hut used to have this limited time offer called honey sriracha. It had a consistency that was fairly liquid and had a very sweet taste with a reasonable amount of heat that snuck up on you. I don't like pizza hut much but I would go there just to buy packages of the sauce.

Any ideas how to make it? I have no doubt it was largely hfcs, but it was good on a lot of things.

>>10250171
Have you tried mixing honey and sriracha? I've never had the PH version, but it seems simple enough to give it a go yourself. I imagine it would be thick, though. You could replace honey with Caro corn syrup for a "runnier" version.

>>10250374

Yeah, I've made a few attempts, I just haven't been able to really come close. The pizza hut version was hotter than any sriracha I've ever had (not super hot or anything but more than sriracha).

Is it possible to make cauliflower bread/anything/gluten-free baking with gluten-free flour without using fats? I tried subbing regular cheese with fat free cheese and eggs with pure egg whites and I don't think they turned out that well, it fell apart way too easily (taste was fine though).

I guess fats from butter, milk, cheese etc. act as binding agents along with the eggs and makes sure things hold together well when baking in the oven?

For fried chicken are you supposed to batter, coat with flour/cornstarch, or coat with breadcrumbs? I see all three techniques mentioned in different recipes and I wonder how the differ in the results they give.

Why are fruits/vegetables kept on the bottom of fridges?

When I was in the restaurant biz we were told by the department of health to always keep meats below everything else (especially poultry) so it wouldn't contaminate if something leaked.

>>10248997
tapioca starch

>>10252055
they arent supposed to be

you will usually have a "crisper" and a "fresh" drawer

they are the same thing though, so meat goes in the lower one, though many fridges will have them side by side

>>10252898
Mine just has 2 crispers like pic related. I end up keeping my veggies on the top shelf for sanitary purposes.

>>10252055
Fruits and veggies are the lowest of foods. The bottom of the fridge is like the back of the bus.

>>10253004
mines similar to yours, and i just keep meat in one and veg in the other

its beneficial to keep meat in a closed drawer to stave off oxidization, especially in red meats

>>10238753
Here's a few spice mixes for ya. If you don't have one, maybe go to a value village or ebay and try to find a small food processor to use just for saucemaking/marinades. I've found mine comes in handy for making dressings, sauces, spreads, compound butters..... i'll give you ideas for rubs or marinades that'd be good either way

Fresh thyme and oregano, lemon zest and juice, minced garlic, celery seed, cracked black pepper

Smoked paprika, cumin, ground mustard or fresh mustard, cayenne

Sesame oil, ground ginger, garlic, onion powder, soy sauce, if marinading add a pinch of brown sugar

Is Fruit Sugar really better? Besides a little fiber and some trace vitamins/minerals would it be healthier to just eliminate it or cut it down as much as possible? I googled Fructose and it seems to be bad for diabetics as well as it increases blood sugar quickly like HFCS does which has Fructose in it...

>>10253227
basically it depends on the fruit

fruit juice is almost always bad for you
whole fruits are better, but make sure they're high in fiber and other nutrients. oranges are better than bananas for example since ~34% of its carbs are fiber vs 7% for bananas

>>10253398
oranges are only better if you eat all of the pith

many people just chew out the juice which is obviously terrible for you without the fiber

I've tried just buying my own cheap boneless chicken breasts, seasoning with spices and baking. Every time they come out rubbery. When I buy marinade boneless chicken breasts from Wegman's or Stop and Shop and bake them, they're fucking juicy and delicious. Does the marinade make the difference and can I make my own cheaper marinade? Also, can I just buy a bulk bag of cheap ass chicken breasts, thighs etc and dump them in a zip lock bag with marinade and take some chicken out to bake throughout the week or will it spoil fast?

>>10253900
yes marinading makes a big difference

how are you cooking them in the oven? what temp? time? are you covering them?

>>10254051

honestly, the ones that come out the best I pay premarinaded and throw them into the oven for 20-25 mins at 400 depending on the size and steam some veggies. Uncovered on a baking sheet on tin foil. Super juicy every time. I want to replicate that for cheaper and better marinades if possible

>>10236765

Poached, sprinkled with salt, pepper, shallot, and dill. Lemon to taste if that's your thing.

>>10253900

Brine those, sear in pan, cover and finish on low.

>>10254069
I meant the ones not pre-made.

I season, cover in foil and do 40 minutes at 400F and they come out fine.

>>10254197
they don't come out rubbery? that was my biggest gripe with the non-marinaded ones. Do I have to marinade them still or will foil at 400 for 40mins with seasoning be enough?

>your body tries to break all sugars down into glucose. Some sugars like fructose can take longer to break down than sucrose
Got those backwards. All sugars turn (slowly) into fructose. Fructose itself metabolizes rapidly, leading to blood sugar and insulin spikes.

glucose and fructose are monosaccharides. the sucrose in fruits breaks down into glucose and fructose

>>10257294
well I can't tell you if the grocery store does that, but I imagine in some sense they do because of transport. However, if they freeze transport the non-marinaded ones they most likely do it for the marinaded ones since they're all vacuumed sealed in a similar fashion. I'm gonna give it a shot tonight. Salt, pepper, garlic powder, wrapped in foil at 400 for 40 mins and let's see if it's a game changer

>>10263465
Your oven was too hot, you need a really low temp. It's hard to do in an oven because there isn't air circulation (unless it's a convection oven) and most ovens cant maintain a low enough heat.

is mixing ramen noodles and left over sweet and sour sauce a bad idea

>>10263728

No. A little soy sauce will balance it out. Try crisping the ramen up on the stove first.

I eat rice + veggies + chicken breast for dinner every single day. Figured it'd be better if I altered between that and something else. But I don't know crap about nutrition, so what should I go for?

>>10263754
chicken thighs or fish

>>10263733
with or without the seasoning packet

>>10263884

You could use that instead of soy sauce. I'd add it to the water while the ramen is cooking and then drain the broth before frying the ramen and adding the sauce.

You want your oven as low as it can go. Like no higher than 150. 300 will burn anything eventually. Way way too high.

Something that has a lot of flavour/spices. Where everything goes together nicely. Like a Turkish meal. Indian, Japanese. Anything sort of foreign and flavourful. I'm not a meat and three plain vege kind of person though. I'd go nuts over some authentic Neapolitan food as well with a matching glass of wine.

>>10248904
This is good too. Miso salmon is nice. So is smoked salmon if you have a fish smoker. Maybe with some asparagus, and some hollandaise sauce if you're doing plain salmon. Really rich meal though fat wise. Maybe add another veggie that goes well with hollandaise. It is impressive because hardly anyone can make that sauce at home. Alternatively save it for the first breakfast you make her - Eggs Benedict.

I'm spanish, and I wanna make some sour cream
>inb4 ameriboo
I just see it being used as a dip in all your media, and Im curious about the taste

The problem is that when I look the recipe up in american webs, it says you need ''cream''
W-what's this cream?
Isn't cream kinda yellow and used in cakes or so?
why is it dairy? where do I buy this close to me, and what name will it have?

Is it viable to store my dry herbs for about 7 months while I go on deployment in those AC controlled long term storage with my other items? seems like a waste to just throw them all out and have to rebuy them when I return

>>10264692
cook the steak in pan
move cooked steaks to oven at low temp just to keep them warm
drain fat/oil from pan, put pan back under med-low heat
add something to deglaze (water works but is flavorless, try beef or chicken broth, wine, beer ...)
scrape off the meaty bits stuck to the pan for a minute or two
add cream (like milk or heavy cream or whipping cream), keep it just slightly boiling
heat for 5-10 minutes until thick
add flour to thicken if needed

>>10264919
oh yeah then salt and pepper to taste

>>10264897
Dry them partially and store in air tight container.

>>10264919

Thanks famalampai.

What are your opinions on bone in vs nonbone chicken? The price is way cheaper for bone in but it seems like most of that shit is bone and gristle. What say you? As far as taste between the two I don't have a preference so it's purely an economical decision for me.

>>10239093
Throw it on the BBQ. If it's not raw in the middle you over cooked it.

>>10240692
I was in Quebec recently and my gf was insistent on getting unpasteurized cheese. We drove around for 2 hours (which led to a fight because I was tired of driving so much for fucking cheese) and couldn't find any. We went to specialty shops too, not just chain stores.

cream usually means some sort of high fat milk, like what you'd use to make whipping cream.

So I've been a vegetarian for well over a decade now, and I think I'm bored of it.
I was thinking of going to Costa Vidas and ordering a pulled pork burrito (my favorite quick restaurant, and people say the pulled pork is good), would this be a bad idea physically?
I don't really want my body to complete reject the meat, is there anything I should start eating before hand to prep my stomach?

>>10265448
I have one vegetarian friend that threw up after finding out a restaurant served her spaghetti with chicken stock in the marinara sauce. I have another vegetarian friend that ate a bunch of bacon for the first time in his life and had no problems. I'm no doctor, but I think it's all in your mind. If you're down to eat a carnitas burrito, then go for it.

>>10257445
Glucose is bloodsugar fool.

>>10265609
I'd say take is slow and start with small amounts of not to over the top meat. I suggest small amounts of chicken breast in a salad, like caesar or something. Then move on to red meats and fish. Increase portion size. I don't think the first think you should go out and eat is a pork burrito. I knew someone who went back to eating meat and started with a pepperoni pizza and puked from it.

>>10265082
Just get really good at deboning and cleaning cuts of meat. I can buy crappy bone in chicken hunks from the local mexican market in turn them into perfect breasts with some extra odds n ends in about 5 minutes.

I just hang extra dry herbs from the bottom of my spice rack. I live in dry area so i've never had problems with mold or rot. Once dry I just chop em up into desired consistency and put em in an old spice jar. As far as I know they last forever but I just keep using it and filling it with more herbs when I get more fresh stuff and hang it.

>>10264722
This.

>>10264659
Render all the fat out of it, strain it, and keep a jar of bacon fat in your fridge for cooking. Works just like butter or olive oil and imparts a nice flavor that isn't overwhelming. Lasts for a really long time.

>>10263754
Fish, or a small amount of red meat. With a grain or starch as a side, and vegetables. Also if you are ever worried about nutrition, just take a multivitamin. As long as you are getting enough food calories and protein from your meals and take a multivitamin it doesn't really matter much what you eat unless you are watching your blood pressure.

I don't think the government should be in on this. let natural selection take its course

>>10258889
You could do the safe bet and toss it. You could also do the steve1989 thing. Look at it. Inspect it all over for mold or discoloration of any kind. Smell it for off flavors that should be there. Ground chuck naturally smells metallic and earthy. I guess if you get any sour, or sulfur smells toss it. If it passes all those tests try cooking a small amount thoroughly and put it in your mouth. If you can't taste an immediate off flavors chew it a bit and keep it in your mouth. Alot of the bad stuff that can grow on food you can feel like a tingle or burn or any other type of allergic reaction in your mouth. If your lips feel puffy or your tongue thick spit it out. Lastly if it can make it past your gag reflex you're probably safe. Man kind was born with a much of mechanisms for telling when something had gone bad, use them. It's not exactly magic. If you done all that your chances of getting sick are pretty low. Except for botulism. That's odorless and tasteless and has no effect until it starts killing you, but it takes more than 9 days for enough botulinum toxin to form in something.

I eat a handful or two of whole grain shredded wheat for breakfast on weekdays and eat fruit periodically so I'm pretty sure I'm getting enough fiber. It's probably the halal truck. I don't want to stop eating at the halal truck though.

So I'm interested in sharpening some knives I have. Some are cheaper knives, a cleaver, but I mainly want it to keep my Tojiro Gyutou in good shape. I already have the honing rod. What's the best way to go about this? Electric grinders or whetstones? What grits for the sharpest edge that isn't a mirror finish?

>>10266292
Stones are the best but you have to know what you are doing or you can fuck them up. It certainly takes practice. I prefer chosera stones. That+steel+strope and you're good to go for anything.

I use stones for all of my knives however I bought a tsprof system for the guys at work and it actually works very well plus you don't have to be as careful about your angles and whatnot. The Apex Edge isn't bad either if you buy different stones. Its what we used to have before I bought the tsprof and its nice but not as nice. I ended up letting one of the guys take it home when we got the new one.

I once heard the best ice is made by: boiling water, cooling it to room them, cooling that water to fridge them, then putting it in the freezer. Is that true? Does that really help? Or is ice more in the category of "it's just fucking ice, it's always the same"?

How many calories in eggshells?

>>10269493
I ferment mine for 1 month before adding @1/3 vinegar to make sure it's shelf stable. I know some anons go for 2 months or longer but mine are generally fermented out in 1. If you added a lot of fruit I could see where it might take longer than 1 month, but I've only used tomato, carrot and a bit of mango. I may try a blueberry hot sauce this year that might need longer than a month. Anything less than a month is too short, imho.

I think I remember some folklore saying you have to destroy the shells before throwing them away or a witch will build a boat out of them and presumable do something mean she couldn't do without crossing water. Steal a baby or whatever.

I've had a crappy past. Couple of days and I'm looking for some comfort food. Basically I want a dinner that is heavy and satisfying. Preferably not breakfasty or with pasta because I eat a lot of pasta already. I was thinking katsudon or chicken fried steak. Chicken pot pie was also a possibility but would be too much work I think. I don't have that much motivation today.

Any other ideas?

>>10269526
Probably a meme question, but whatever. It's insignificant, effectively zero - a slightly larger spoonful of sugar will throw you off more than a single eggshell. It's 85% calcium carbonate (basically limestone), and a bit of proteins in the membranes.

Is a cocktail shaker worth it? Can you just use two cups of similar size (one slightly smaller) to use as a 'boston shaker'? Or is it really worth it to get the cup with the lid and the strainer?

>>10239351
Cast iron is pretty much the best way to cook any steak.

>>10270135
If you want katsu I'd suggest going to a good ramen joint and get katsu ramen or maybe like a spicy beef ramen. Just google a real ramen restaurant within your area and go there; search by stars to find a good 3-4 star place.

Personally I live about 35min from a place called RaiRaiRamen that's super good and always has amazing food. I love that shit.

Or if you want something cheap just get some shitty american style chinese foods.

"Undercooked" chicken and pork is fucking delicious, btw. Pork parasites are basically completely wiped out in western countries so there is no need to cook your meat to 170 or whatever fucking leather temperature "food safety" recommends unless you live one one of those countries where people wipe their ass with their bare hands.

All the nasty bugs on chicken live on the surface so a sear still kills them just fine. I prefer mine a bit more done than that, though. I don't care for the gel texture of chicken until it's hot enough to be just starting to turn white, though the flavor is fine.

>>10270226
The closest I've got to Japanese food would be Shogun. It's almost all cheap Chinese, sushi, and some Thai(usually sold at the sushi places) around me. I could also get some cheap pork chops and green onions and make my own for a few dollars. I really do wish I had a more diverse collection of restaurants around. Despite the city having a lot of German ancestry the only German restaurant is an out of city drive to get to.

I hope im not too late to this thread

my biggest issue with cooking right now is making rice in any other context than making just plain rice (chicken over rice casserole bake, rice and peas, etc)

i always have the issue of "raw in the middle, mushy on the outside, and probably starting to burn/overcook on the edges" no matter how much liquid i add, no matter how low the temp is, no matter how long i let it go for

for something like the bakes it's usually fine, i just add more liquid (i've experimented with adding room temp and hot water/broth) and let it continue and eventually it evens out, granted it comes out a bit mushy

but for stovetop shit like rice and peas i've only ever nailed it once, every other time it's been a huge fucking problem
and i've tried both bringing the liquids up to boiling before adding the rice, and adding the rice then letting it boil. both came out the same way.

seriously what the fuck is rice

>>10270208
Not a meme question. I calorie count and I routinely use eggshells to thicken my soups - I quite like the resulting texture. Thank you for your answer.

My grandma has an 80% success rate with rice by just bringing it to a boil and then turning it off and letting it sit. But there are still those 2/10 occasions where she under or overcooks it.

My success rate with rice on the stove was half hers and I went through the trouble of rinsing and measuring everything out and trying to carefully watch and time it. I just went out and got a cheap rice cooker from walmart.

I'm going to make mini cheesecakes in a muffin tin but I didn't buy muffin liners. Do I really need them?
