/ck/ - Food & Cooking

Are you cooking for yourself or for others?

>Fuck off. Chardonnay is much better tasting.

Middle aged White woman detected.

>>11740181
Depends on what you're cooking faggot, for example a dry fino has a herbacious character you wont find in chardonay, plus the additional alcohol in sherry has its place.
Fucking millenials

>>11740181
are you perhaps a cool wine aunt?

Wtf we were back and the roastie muzzie jannie just started her shift. Back to ck boycott. Fucking cunts

>>11740253
Cool wine aunts are always one glass away from making a happy mistake

>>11740212
Yes.

>>11740328
The question wasnt "how many dicks have you sucked?"

>>11740415
Had it been, the answer would have been "no". Where are you going with this?

i prefer chicken stock over wine when it's called for. my palette is very simple.

>>11740181
If a recipe calls for a white wine, I use vermouth. Gives it some actual flavor.

>he doesn't use purely XO cognac in his cooking
do not

>>11740546

Had it been, the answer would have been "none yet today". Where are you going with this?

Who was it that did a sketch where they got everybody just the right amount of sloshed and world peace broke out? Was it those Communists Mitchell and Webb?

>>11740212
This is important. If you're cooking for yourself you can do whatever you want. If you're cooking for others you're a cheap shit and should probably just stop having them over.

>>11740561
ok I've lurked here a while, but someone tell me: is the palette/palate thing a meme, or do cu/cks not know how to spell?

>>11740651
i dont write the word often so it autocorrected to the wrong version of the spelling. the fact that you care this much is concerning

>>11740686
>concerning
Not that poster, but it's concerning that you don't care about communicating in a clear and correct manner and even look down upon it. What are you, a nigger?
>phoneposting in the current year
Yeah, probably a nigger.

>>11740695
found the autist. also i make more money than your parents combined, stay mad lmao

>>11740591
i used some vermouth tonight for chicken when i discovered ‘no wine’
came out pretty ok

>>11740632
Sounds like them but I dont know for sure

>>11740707
but neither of the drink cum for a living

>>11740707
>talking about my parents' income like I give a shit about them and their failed lives
Found the daddy's money spoiled shitforbrains.
How did you avoid acquiring basic literacy after all that schooling daddy paid for?

I really want a stainless steel wok like that.. but I've already got too much crap.

>>11741658
That's a skillet. Woks are shit unless you have a flame stove anyway.

>>11740181
DOES IT SAY OPTIONALLY USE ANY FUCKING MEME WINE IN THE RECIPE? IT USES FUCKING SHERRY OR IT GETS IT'S ASS SPANKED TILL IT GLOWS IN THE DARK!!

>>11741697
Perhaps. With induction you'll be stirring a lot though, because you can't take it off the plate. Using a wok you can mess about without food or oil escaping as easily. I love using a wok.
It may not be real stirfrying, but it's using the shape for another useful purpose.

>>11743340
The flavor of sherry is way too strong. It pisses all over everything else you put into the dish to make it taste right. It's almost always better to have something dry and light while still having that wine bite to it UNLESS you want the shit to taste like sherry and nothing else.

>>11743433
and today, anon learns what a wok is.

>>11743524
>I'm so purist I wet myself
Yeah, I don't give a shit. If you search stainless wok you get my picture.
On top of that, I said "a wok LIKE THAT"

>>11743545
And you were told it was a damn skillet. You're either female or a severely mentally disabled man.

>>11743545
>If you search stainless wok you get my picture.
who gives a shit? do you think that's actually meaningful?

>>On top of that, I said "a wok LIKE THAT"
but that's not even a wok you fucking idiot.

One day, I really hope to own a car like pic related. That's how stupid you sound.

>>11743613
>mental gymnastics maxmimal
Not sure who you're trying to convince here, but good luck with that.

>>11743582
If you didn't try to act smart while you're not, then you wouldn't need to be so seething right now.

>>11743637
>knowing what a wok is is "mental gymnastics"

wow.

>>11743644
>car vs boat is the same as stainless wok vs stainless skillet
Just go away man.

>>11743651
A wok has a round bottom. A skillet has a flat one.
A car drives on land. A boat floats on water.

That make it clear for you?

>>11740181
I just use whatever alcohol I'm drinking at the time because alcohol does not remain sitting on a shelf at my house for me to be picky, it gets drank up immediately. Brandy, vodka, wine, beer, whiskey, etc., I don't care, it's whatever I'm drinking that night, so fuck off and put me in the screen cap!

>>11743660
>A wok has a round bottom. A skillet has a flat one.
>A car drives on land. A boat floats on water.
Yeah, I see it now! It's.. it's... identical! kek

>>11743642
Well. At least you tried.

>>11743660
btw, as a simple search for wok suggest, woks can have flat bottoms too.
Sorry if that rubs your autism the wrong way, but it's just how it is.
Saying nobody cares doesn't change that the core of your argument is nonsense.

>>11743672

>>11743674
As I'm sure an intelligent person as yourself knows, many products out there in the world are counterproductive knockoffs of the real thing. A flat-bottomed wok is a contradiction in terms. It doesn't even make sense. Many products exist for the sole purpose of separating fools from their hard-earned money. This is one such example.

If you understand wok cooking then it ought to be clear to you why a flat bottom doesn't make any sense.

They make boatcars too. They don't handle as well on the road as a real car, and they certainly don't sail as well as a boat....exactly like the "flat-bottomed wok". It's some silly bastard child of a skillet and a wok that does neither job as well as the proper tool.

>>11743702
Even all-clad calls it a wok, why on earth are you still discussing this?

>>11743674
here's the problem

you see the search results and think "wow, neato. they make flat woks now! cool!" a person that understands cooking on a wok looks at that....and gets confused. they wonder why they ruined the design. they wonder why they even call it a wok when it's clearly not.

i'm betting you are in the first group.

>>11743582
That looks completely different from the stainless wok, it’s less concave

>>11743727
Yup, I definitely belong to that first group. Kinda have to with an induction plate.
No idea what your point is, but I'm taking a wild guess that it's something in the area of: "stop liking what I don't like".
Maybe you should hold a global meeting and suggest a better name for flat bottomed woks if you hate the name so much. I don't care what it's called, I just know I want it.

>>11743712
>Even all-clad calls it a wok
what's your point? Do you think all-clad cares more about your money or do you think they care more about accurate terminology for cookware from a country on the other side of the planet?

>>why on earth are you still discussing this?
Because there seem to be people, you included, who still think that a "flat bottomed wok" makes any sense to own.

Go ahead, using your knowledge and culinary experience explain how a flat-bottomed wok is better suited to a dish than a round one. Tell us why you'd choose to buy the bastard and then you'll have a leg to stand on.

>>11743752
>No idea what your point is,
A flat-bottomed wok is not a wok.

>>I just know I want it.
What would you possibly want it for? Anything it can do a normal skillet or a regular wok could do better. Or perhaps you just don't give a shit about function and you're buying it because you like the way it looks?

>>11743777
>what's your point
That I'm using the correct term. Whether you agree with it or not.
Convincing me won't change they exist and that they're also called woks.
Which is what your point seems to be. I am not allowed to call it a wok, even though there's no other name for it.
>Tell us why you'd choose to buy the bastard and then you'll have a leg to stand on.
>us
kek, don't make me laugh, faggot.
As I expected the whole argument boils down to "stop liking what I don't like".
I like flat bottom woks, that's my reason. The induction plate isn't even a actual reason anymore now.
Deal with it. Can you?

>>11743729
what does a wok have to do with what's in the OP?

>>11743781
>A flat-bottomed wok is not a wok.
That's just your opinion. I couldn't care less.
>What would you possibly want it for?
I've explained in my first posts.
And I don't even have to explain. I want it, that's all there is to it.
Deal with it.

>>11743811
>That I'm using the correct term
sure, if you want to call it a "flat bottom wok" it's fine with me.

>>. I am not allowed to call it a wok
Correct, you need to preface it with "flat bottom" to distinguish it from a normal wok.

>>Deal with it. Can you?
Sure. you just admitted there's no logical reason for it and it's just aesthetics. I've got no problem with that whatsoever. Enjoy it.

It puzzles me why you'd prioritize aesthetics over function for a cooking tool, but hey, it's your money so do what you want with it. I'm happy you stated there's no real reason for it other than you want it.

>>11743829
>That's just your opinion.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wok
>A wok pan (from Cantonese: 鑊) is a versatile round-bottomed cooking vessel, originating from China.
>The wok's most distinguishing feature is its shape. Classic woks have a rounded bottom.[2]
>Woks sold in western countries are sometimes found with flat bottoms—this makes them more similar to a deep frying pan than a wok.

>>11743674
>woks can have flat bottoms too.
No they can't you fucking moron. Just because some fucking jerk in marketing slaps a label on something doesn't mean it's the real thing. The whole point of wok cooking is very high heat transfer. About three times (minimum) as much as you can get out of standard electric plate, whether induction or what ever. You need gas burners to get that much heat and a rounded bottom is optimal for that. A flat bottomed "wok" is simply pointless.

It's a local spelling, perhaps. Like Tobasco.

>If you're cooking for others you're a cheap shit and should probably just stop having them over.

But their argument is that it's better. Why would you choose something that tastes worse because it's more expensive?

>>11744277
Incorrect. Those are two completely different words.
