/ck/ - Food & Cooking

>>12841339
I just meal-plan and shop accordingly so I can make things fresh. Like an adult.

>>12841339
No, you're right. It's very quick to make.

>>12841339
Back the fuck off?!?!

>>12841339
Convenience/economies of scale. You can spend 10-15m whipping up a quick sauce for dinner every time you want it, or you can spend 20 minutes whipping up a quick sauce for 10 dinners.

>>12841352
with jarring and stuff even if you were super efficient you'd spend an hour on 10 dinners of sauce not including dishes

you can literally just toss a tomato on a pan and boom it's done by the time the other pots boiled

>>12841339
Congratulations, you found out a "secret"
Keep doing It. I do it time. Fresh tomato, dried basil/oregano/garlic and then fresh basil later when it's ready to eat.

>>12841366
>toss a tomato in a pan
How about we address your awful "sauce" before we even get to saving time.

>>12841769
sure
address it

gonna make some gehtti this week. OP whats teh trick to teh ultimate sauce?

>>12842715
Just get Ragu

Why would anyone trust the opinion of a guy who has a kitchen that looks like that?

>>12841339
I try to make my own sauce but ends up either too watery or too thin or too thick and it doesn't taste good.

>>12842715
i love me some homemade ghetti anon
you gonna get some lic bread to go with that ghetti?

>>12842715
I don't make claims about the ultimate sauce, but a good basic sauce can be made with just
>frying pan with a bit of water
>a tomato or two flowered out
>about a table spoon of butter

from there you can just treat it kinda like a mushy stirfry and add whatever you got laying around into it, be it some onion or ground beef or egg or deenz (I avoid chicken though, just not a fan of tomato x chicken)
its your sauce and your sghetti anon, you can do whatever you want as long as it's gonna be cooked down enough, also you can't really overcook a sauce unless you boil it dry then burn it, but even then it's probably fixable with just a little water to reconstitute it as long as it's not burnt to absolute shit
a lot of people say you need to mix some of the pasta water into the sauce, but i'd say it's not really important, it's a good way to add more water if you find it's boiled down too much
egg mixed into it will make it really creamy, and if you keep sauerkraut on hand a bit of that pickled cabbage can stretch tomato flesh a fair bit since it'll take on the flavour without dulling it like potato or flours would. (and keeps the characteristic acidity)

hope that gives you some ideas

>>12843504
sounds hella bad my dude

>>12843510
that means good right
or does it mean bad again
its hard to keep up with young slang

>>12843522
means its a raw dog sauce my dude

>>12841796
>Pasta sauce ingredients: one tomato, nothing else
You see nothing wrong with this?

>>12843564
you can add whatever seasonings you want with it as well as whatever oils you use, but thats absolute basic bitch sauce you can do where it's basically just the same as a can of crushed tomatoes

heres a googled comparable recipe, it's just a simple ass base lad, try not to take things too literally
https://www.themakeyourownzone.com/simple-spaghetti-sauce/

nobody is gonna slap your hands with a spoon if you put a dash of something in your sauce

>>12841339
your sauce looks like shit

>>12843577
Why even put the tomato in a pan? Just crush it and toss it in the cooked pasta, boom it’s done. That’s just a basic version you can add other stuff to spice it up.

>>12843588
cause my tomatoes are frozen

>>12841339
>Code thread
What's the estimated salt content there?

>>12843609
kinda off topic but the really purified stuff goes a long way you only need a small sprinkle
also, I finished those yolks in the bisque salt if you didn't see it, the thread died quicker than expected, but results were very promising >>12835527
i've been left with a large pile of brown contaminated salt to reprocess so I may be doing that in the future, undecided, i'm just not sure what i'd do with that much purified salt short of attempting to ship it to anons and getting arrested on suspicion of anthrax terrorism or drug smuggling.

>>12841348
Depends on the sauce. Good tomato sauce takes several hours

>>12843504
Fucking yikes my dude
Here’s how you make an actual tomato sauce

>>12843751
>4 cans of tomatoes
fucking yikes my dude using canned ingredients you might as well just buy ragu

>>12843756
Tastelet detected
You probably think the tomatoes in your local Walmart are ripe

>>12843756
If you can find fresh tomatoes that aren’t shit (rare in the US) you can make this
https://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2014/08/the-best-fresh-tomato-sauce-for-pasta-recipe.html

>>12843744
Not really. One tomato in pan. Boom it’s done.

>>12843825
I said a good tomato sauce

>>12843766
>1 tomato is 150 grams
>recipe calls for 4500 grams, 30 tomatoes
when you scale this recipe down it's literally the same thing with more steps
I don't mind the seeds or skin, I have no need to strain myself straining it just to get the texture of yogurt


>>12843758
>buying produce at walmart
woody artificially ripened in trains with gases nice my favourite yea man

>>12843836
>cooking down a sauce for 6 hours, developing and concentrating flavor
>throwing a crushed tomato into a pan and then tossing pasta in it
>IT’S LITERALLY THE SAME THING!!!

>>12844300
whatever makes you feel better about burning your tomato goop

>>12844570
>slow cooking
>burning
holy shit, is it possible to get any dumber?

>>12844572
ya i could be u

>>12844573
I’m not a tripfag so I’m smarter by default

>>12844575
said wojack poster

>>12844586
wojak posters are an elite race of men compared to tripfags

>>12844592
yeah especially when they post nothing but wojacks in every thread from their phone they collected at /v/
sure showed me friend

>>12844608
>throw tomato in pan. Boom. Tomato sauce
Ahahaha you are seriously retarded.

>>12841339

love your threads. The only one who actually cooks and shares their cooking here. Wish more did that.

>>12844624
you do know when a recipe is scaled back so is the amount of time required right
do you actually truly believe 6+ hours are required in order to boil down 1/15th a batch of hairy italian grandma paste

>>12844703
Scaling back a tomato sauce recipe doesn’t mean removing all ingredients except one tomato. You don’t use any basil or garlic or herbs or spices? Just one tomato lol boom done.

>>12841339
Hot damb OP is based

>>12844703
fucking retard you dont know how to cook. end yourself

>he doesn't just throw dry pasta and tomato into his microwave/blender combo appliance

>>12844842
>>12844904
oh
i'm sorry
I didn't realize i'd need to cover the absolute basics of sauces in a sauce thread, I really just wanted to know why people waste their time with canning but keep forgetting people on /ck/ don't cook
you can put spices in it whiteboys dont be afraid

tomato in a pan is an example of a base known as a 'mother sauce'
you can use a mother sauce as is, or with modifications to make derivatives called 'daughter sauces' (cute name huh?)
there are a number of mother sauces but we're going to concentrate on 'tomato'
now it seems to be you've mistaken 'marinara' and 'tomato'
now despite what the italians seem to believe, they don't actually need to spend whole afternoons making their variant of provencale sauce
it turns out, putting in a handful of herbs and spices takes even less time than cutting that one onion they insist they can taste in that batch of 30 tomatoes

does this help explain things a bit or have I lost you again?

>>12844964
This is real cooking. You don’t need all this gayass simmering bullshit or tranny ‘herbs’. Pasta in. Tomato in. Done.

>>12845027
based
just pour it down the food funnel into my mouth once it's finished microwablending

imagine leaving tomato skin in your sauce

>>12845013
bretty based

>>12845013
>tomato in a pan is a "mother sauce"
I literally cannot grok being this insufferably superior over such ignorance. Yikes.

>>12845069
as long as you cut the tomatoes it's not an issue
the skins have their own taste

>>12845093
i bet you grok daddy sauce

>>12841339
You must never have heard of a garden

>>12845013
at the end of harvest season people have a ton of vegetables that will go bad before they can use them so they can them.

>>12845201
just toss them in the freeze

>>12845253
I have hundreds of tomatoes by the end of the season

>>12845258
do you not have a real freezer
sounds like a mistake to be planting so many
whats your water bill like in the summer

>>12845281
god you are a fucking retard

>>12845319
yeah you're right, should probably include the spring water bill too

>>12841339
Looks pretty gross desuwa. I'll take Prego anytime over whatever that is. Hopefully op kys himself so we don't need to have any more of his sauce threads.

>>12845013
lmao you’re such an insufferably smug retard over your dogshit sauce

>>12845968
I try

>>12846021
Try to kill yourself next

>frozen tomatoes
>”One tomato in pan. Boom it’s done.”
>slow cooking is “burning”

>>12845013
>talks about spice
>tomato sauce is tomato and water
Fucking hell dude do you really do that? stop putting yourself in ridicule

We're not done with this attention seeking faggot yet? 3 weeks of some dipshit wasting eggs and salt and he's doing shit like this

>>12841339
I'm sorry but that sauce looks terrible OP.

>>12846895
it's not meant to look good it's meant to be eaten
I don't really even remember what all was in that one aside from grated leeks and old donair meat

hows this one look to you, it's one with the seeds and skins removed because I was using it for a potato pizza

>>12846839
if you don't understand the idea of a 'base sauce' having things added to it past it's basic composition I'm sorry but there is nothing else I can explain
perhaps english isn't your first language or something?

>>12841339
>>12847330
I hope you never try to feed anyone your "sauce"

>>12842715
Pork fat.

>>12841339
it takes less time to make sauce as it does to boil pasta so buying sauce is a fucking meme
