overcooking everything "just yo be safe"

Filling your chicken with another smaller chicken.

Making the pasta and sauce separately and leaving the pasta in a pan to dry out

Covering chicken breasts in salsa and baking them.

Washing meat isnt boomer, its nigger

>>13235350
Nah, my white boomer mother always used to wash everything.

>>13235357
was your father a nigger?

i don't peel potatoes

>>13235314

>mom makes soup
>it tastes different than the last time she made it

WTF mom, its fucking campbells. it just needs water up to the third ridged line and only needs to boil for 90 seconds with a lid off FUCK

Making instant rice

>>13235314
Throwing food away way before I probably have too, just in case.

>>13235350
The practice was popularized by Julia Child, idiot.

>>13235322
fpbp.

Drives me up a wall. My poor granddad has had to live through decades of burnt meat because my grandma thinks everything has to be well done. She's a sweet old lady but her cooking is shit. He makes his own steaks and bbq.

>>13235314
Boomers don't rinse meat in the sink. That's niggers.

yeah, those fuckin "Boomers" who wash their meat in the sink

I also hate how "boomers" commit 50% of all crime even though they're only 13% of the population

>>13235314
hot sauce/bbq sauce on everything

>>13235396
Having national health standards high enough to be able to eat next to raw meat is a gift that the boomers have given to you ungrateful chuds.

>>13235314
eating healthy

overcooking vegetables

>>13235326
Is this a stealth way to imply fucking a pregnant women?

Cooking "Chinese" food out of a can

thinking a light sprinkle of salt on food is unhealthy
thinking fat grams make you fat as opposed to calories in/out

>>13235360
Nah but your moms bull is

>>13235389
Yeah, and Julia Child was a nigger. What's your point?

>>13235334
More or less this. Spaghetti dinners were always fun when you had to somehow take a clump of noodles out of the congealed mass.
Also:
>>13235314
>boiled vegetables
Just fucking steam them.

Using canned vegetables for everything and saying they can't taste the salt.

Cooking a rare/medium rare/medium steak to well done then bitching if you say they cooked it too much, "Oh next time I'll let you just have a raw steak."

>>13235472
>typing the word "Nah"

how do you do, fellow octoroon?

Buying low fat versions of mass produced junk food.

>>13235519
Why would you steam vegetables when roasting makes them taste better?

>>13235458
Gross

Using sponges. Have a sponge for doing the dishes, one for cleaning the sink itself, the stovetop, one for the bathroom sink and one for the toilet seat. Like you’re just spreading the bacteria around. Another habit I noticed with some was using a basin in the sink for the “washing” then placing the soaped dishes to the side outside of the basin, leaving no room in the sink. My uncle still does that and every time I’m over I hide the damn thing

>>13235582
Huh?

>condensed soup
>don't add water
Get on my level zoom zooms

>>13235385
Boomer

>>13235385
that is definitely NOT a boomer trait because boomers know that canned food only is bad if it swells.

>>13235322
my parents did this and for years i thought meat was the most disgusting thing in existence. turns out they just couldn't cook. now i sear all my steak rare.

>>13235519
Cook noodles in a large pot of water and coat with a little butter and they won't clump up

>>13235349
I like a verde salsa marinade before grilling, but baking in salsa sounds gross.

>>13235820

My wife suffered through this from her mother her entire life, but she developed Stockholm syndrome about it. She still won't eat pink beef even though she knows it's safe. It's honestly infuriating.

Steaming is the worst way to cook vegetables and it should be outlawed internationally.

>>13236607
t. proctor and gamble executive
the only good use for dish soap is to clean bathtubs and bicycles. imagine washing your dishes in it. do you use WD40 as lube for fucking your obese girlfriend, too?

>>13236591
You and everyone in existance

>>13236614
>UGH gross look at all those icky crispy brown bits I bet they add all sorts of disgusting extra flavor BLECH!

>>13236631
WD40 is a water displacer, not a lubricant. It evaporates too quickly for effective use as a lube beyond immediate tasks like loosening a bolt.

You still haven't explained how a mild detergent is poisonous.

>>13235820
>that cloth that sits on the divider of the kitchen sink all the time
>mom's idea of "cleaning" kitchen surfaces is to take the cloth and wipe it

Discovering a new dish and then trying to copy it with some sort of pre-packaged, processed mix. Usually it'll promise that it'll make "Instant ____!". God forbid they ever actually trust themselves and try for once. They have no agency for themselves and instead just blindly trust the picture on the label, since they think there's no way those food companies have anything but a customer's best interest at heart. Kitchen convenience products all suck, people need to learn how to handle themselves in a kitchen.

Lmao fucking retarded schizo BTFOD

Dishes that are 50% just globs of mayo, usually with "salad" in the name for some fucking reason. If you're from the south or midwest US and had moms/aunts/grandmas that were "church lady" types, you know what I'm talking about.

>>13236608
This shit right here

>>13236906
Those aren't habits though, they're dishes. And they're also based.

If you make your own mayo, it's similar to any other salad dressing except in appearance. Oil and vinegar (or lemon juice), emulsified with egg. People seem to think mayo is some uniquely awful kind of fat but it's literally just oil with a different texture.

>>13236906
Talking shit about the family recipe? (That probably came from the back of a sour cream tub or "instant" potatoes box)

>be told to eat my vegetables by boomers since it has "nutrients"
>they boil them
>then throw out the broth

>>13236924
The mayo isn't the issue. The shit I'm talking about isn't actually salad, I'm talking about those gross mashups of mayo and canned pineapple and shit.
>>13236929
This is what I meant, the boomerism being clinging to lazy bullshit revolving around the shit on labels for stuff like mayo and cream of mushroom soup.

>>13236941
If you're boiling vegetables, and not as part of a soup, would you really ever save the broth? Who actually does that?

>>13236965
Why boil the vegetables in the first place? You've essentially drained them of their vital nutrients, so now they're empty calories with zero flavor.

>>13236921

>>13235314

I do this all the time except I just microwave the sauce jar without the lid on and put what I don't use in the fridge so I can microwave it later for next time.

>>13235349
My mom does this and its one of the best things she cooks. She does a similar thing where she bakes chicken breasts with tomato sauce and cabbage, it's great

>>13235778
the best veggies are crunchy

>>13237452
Roast most vegetables a little longer and they'll be crispy.

>>13235314
buying cheap cuts of meat and thinking it's possible to make restaurant tier anything from them.

my mom literally tried to serve me preseasoned "beef shoulder for tacos" today.

>>13235314
Disgusting, washing finished cleaned butchered and wrapped meat.


What fucking butcher will you buy meat for your children to eat from but don't trust to not have tickled up in their itchy anus before claiming their hands are still pristine and feel up your Saturday bbq because they're in a hurry go home and you called in another big emergency order right before they close Friday late afternoon?

>>13236648
Because chemical bad, plant good
Also jooish conspiracy

>>13237462
Beef shoulder? Heavens, no! How grossly inauthentic! As we all know, every Mexican restaurant uses only premium cuts from the finest organic pasture-raised livestock.

>half the thread is "my mommy served me food in a way I don't like!"

>>13237544
lmao, that's actually the funny part, i'm part of a mexican family and my mom bought the meat from a mexican market. it was already seasoned and sliced up into taco-sized bits. I cooked it and it just had a shitty texture and was seasoned beyond saving. I'm not sure what cuts of meat you're supposed to order at these mexican markets to get quality meats. my mom usually gets "carne para asar" and it's only slightly less shit.

>>13237549
Well if it's beef shoulder I think it'll be way too tough if it's not cooked for a long time. You could braise it and turn it into shredded beef.

I guarantee you can make great food with cheap cuts, if you prepare them right. Pork shoulder can go for as little as a dollar a pound and turns into carnitas.

>>13235334
jfc I was convinced that I hated spaghetti marinara and most pasta dishes because growing up I ate jarred sauce ladled over overcooked pasta.

luckily my mum was a great cook, as is my nan. my other nan, however, bakes the driest carrot cakes and fruit cakes known to man.
can't say i've really had "bad" food from my older senpaitachi though.

>>13237587
How spaghetti ever became the default pasta is a mystery to me. Literally every other form of pasta is better at something than spaghetti. Spaghetti is the lowest common denominator of pastas.

Why do zoomers have to eat everything medium reddit? It's like the reddit credo to eat shit half raw because it's 'le friggin superior'. Also nothing wrong with rinsing meat, you can never fully trust your butcher of food supplier

>>13238005
Many cuts of meat are more flavorful, juicier, and more tender when "undercooked" i.e. medium-rare steak, slightly pink pork chops, molten yolk eggs. Rinsing meat is utterly pointless. You're going to cook it and kill any pathogens on the surface anyway, rinsing it won't clean it in any meaningful way. If there's some pathogen on the meat, not only will rinsing it accomplish fuck-all, you'll just contaminate your whole sink area with that shit instead.

Just cook the damn meat and stop worrying about getting sick. The overwhelming majority of the time people get food poisoning is from cross contamination between cooked and uncooked food, and line cooks wiping their ass with their hand before going back to work.

>>13237548
I know, right? Muh mummy...

>>13235314

A dull as fuck knife that you've had for 27 years but never sharpen. The handle is broken. You need to hold the back of the blade with your thumb to stop the blade bending at a 90° angle while you cut.

>>13238034
The purpose is to remove any impurities that are on the meat like dust, debris, some cleaning agents, cum, snot, piss, hair, etc. This is because even if you live in the first world you can't ever fully trust the food supplier or butcher.
Unless you enjoy the taste of butcher cum there's no reason to NOT wash the meat
>but muh splashy bacteria!!
If you use a cutting board or knives this bacteria will get on them and will splash your sink anyway when you wash them. So not sure what the point it.
Use your brain, it's not hard.

A lot of the things in this thread just sound like people with parents who suck at cooking, not boomer memes.

For me, my mother is a great cook, but she has zero food safety concern. Years of metal on teflon pans, cooking shit in plastic bowls, cutting board cross contamination, not using a meat thermometer, and so on. She one time literally melted a plastic bowl that she poured a piping hot pasta sauce into and got mad when my siblings and myself refused to eat it.

Another one comes from them growing up with depression-era parents. They will refuse to throw out anything expired or rotting. They'll cut off the rot and mold and say 'look, good as new!' and tell you to 'stop overreacting' for not wanting to eat some disgusting shit covering spores that cost under $2.

>>13238146
I work in an airport kitchen where everything has to pass through security to get here, ordering shit is a pain and we need to count the knives like 4 times a day, and keep them all locked up in a safe when not in use. As a result, actual chef knives are useless because they aren't getting sharpened. People are using bread knives for everything because it's more convenient. They cut better, and you don't need to request the key to get to the safe to get a very dull kitchen knife. Just cut the onions with your bread knife instead.
If one knife is missing during a count. Every flight is grounded until the situation is resolved as it is treated as a huge security risk.

My girlfriend is a decade older than me and she does some pretty weird shit in the kitchen. Thoroughly cleans everything regardless if it’s something like a coffee cup that hasn’t just been used. Just rinse some water in it and pour it out ffs. She wears nitrile or latex gloves to handle cooked and raw meat. Not sure if this is boomer stuff but weird to me. She’s a damn good cook though

Spaghetti along with all other forms of 'long' pasta (except lasagna sheets I suppose) are absolute dogshit and I cannot be convinced otherwise:
>requires either twirling onto the fork, or autistic cutting (defeating the point of it being long)
>can't hold sauce for shit

>requires either a massive fucking pot to cook or for you to tap it down as it cooks to get it all in the water (obviously this doesn't apply to nests)
>if you break it so it fits in easier you've again defeated the point of it being long
No, I refuse to cook any kind of long pasta and when I do eat it, it's orders of magnitude wose than if it was replaced for ANY short pasta shape, even shells. FUCK spaghetti.

My grandma did this. She lived through the war and they were just used to cook everything to death because for years they only had half rotten vegetables and other vile shit to eat.
Also, she used butter everywhere and whenever she made something in a pan, she would burn one side to a crisp, while the other side would stay almost raw. That is also how I developed a dislike for fish sticks.
Only after she had died, god bless her soul, I discovered that vegetables can still have crunch and that fish sticks can be properly crisp from all sides. She was a great cook nonetheless.

>>13235820

My mother-in-law is scared of sharp knives. She likes hers dull. I had to actually convince my wife to let me sharpen her knives and her using them.

>puts extra loaves of bread in the freezer, so when they thaw the texture is revolting
When you freeze fresh bread and then carefully thaw it, there is virtually no difference.
I always let my bread get sliced, so it will thaw quicker (if I don't just take out single slices).
That said, my grandma actually put whole loaves into the freezer and then thawed them on the radiator. Many other people did it like that and A friend of mine doesn't like thawed bread for that exact reason.
I mainly do it out of necessity because I can't eat a whole loaf of bread until it's gotten stale.

Same here. Never understood why I had some friends or other people overseas that hated eating vegetables until I started reading about retarded cooking habits on the internet. In my country, the common rice and dishes stalls would be at least half vegetables, and most of the time, they're actually stir fried or stewed properly. Holy fuck, I remember my dad teaching me to blanch broccoli until the colour starts to change, and we always seasoned it with proper sauces instead of mayonnaise and ranch and whatever garbage the retarded parents in /ck/ horror stories use

God I fucking hate gluten free pasta.
You can't leave it in water because it will overcook and disintegrate
If you put it in a colander to drain and leave it, the noodles stick together something fierce unless you shake the colander every few minutes
Leftovers always suck

If ever you're cooking gluten free pasta dish for some glutarded celiac, cook the pasta last and only as much as you believe your guest will eat. If you care that much, that is. Most gf pasta I've had takes 7-10 minutes to get al dente and then finish it in the sauce. Never had almond flour pasta tho.

Rice-based pasta is generally the best quality (and cheap af at Asian markets) but most of the time I'm eating it with a European sauce, it feels wrong.

>>13243755
GOD

>>13243744
It isn't the straining, it's the rinsing. There is no need to rinse off the starch from your pasta, the starch goes into the sauce.

>>13235349
You cut them open and pour the hottest salsa you have inside and on them. It’s easy as fuck and it tastes good. I can literally come home, toss it in the toaster oven and go crash on the couch for 30 minutes, then I get a nice meal.

Yea I can and you could too. It would be very noticeable. Go try it yourself.

This. What kind of madman doesn't peel the potatoes before boiling them?

>>13245326
If you peel before boiling they absorb more water (allegedly). Which is the opposite of what you want when frying for example.

>>13245242
Yeah I don't get the knife thing. Why wouldn't you either buy new ones or get yours sharpened or sharpen them yourself? I sold Cutco out of high school and sold over $20k of knives in two weeks purely from the "practice" sessions. I didn't really even know what I was talking about since I hadn't done a whole lot of cooking at that point, but once I presented the script and showed people (see: rich housewives) what sharp knifes were like they would lose their minds and practically throw money at me.

>>13239090
I had to change almost all of my diet due to a food allergy diagnosis in my early 20s. My mom was super considerate enough to change her recipes to suit my needs and even broadened her cooking repertoire that had hardly changed my entire life. I moved out pretty shortly after and haven't had her cooking since.
Thinking back, it was all extremely salty. Probably a habit brought on by her upbringing. She still eats Campbell's soup and I don't know how she can stomach the amount of sodium. She's one of the healthiest people I know so I hope it doesn't sneak up on her one day.

my parents refuse to eat pink chicken even if its been cooked to death and has been previously frozen so the chances of it being pink from the hemoglobin leeching out are even higher and will stay pink well above USDA overcooking guidelines. then they all accuse me of risking salmonella poisoning and that i didn't cook it right or measure the temperature correctly and that i'm serving them raw chicken. it's infuriating and insulting.

How is it possible for an entire generation to do completely stupid shit, even from a common sense perspective?

>>13246219
They lack the ability to self-reflect. Most got basically frozen in time when they had their first kid and never developed beyond that.

the best way to prepare pasta, regardless of type of sauce, is to lift the pasta straight out of the pot into the sauce and mix together while the pasta is just before al dente and let it simmer a bit, it adds a bit of the pasta starch water and combines everything together much better.

This, or olive oil works too.

>>13235519
I don't know what people mean when they say cooking sauce and noodles separately is bad. The way I do it is that I boil pasta in water, cooking sauce in a separate pot, but I time it right so that the pasta is strained and then the pasta is added to the finished sauce and mixed before serving. How would you do it differently?

>>13246545
What I mean is making the pasta and sauce, but instead of then combining and serving, keeping the two in separate containers so the pasta dries out and sticks together

>>13235322
to be fair isn't it only relatively recently that pork could be cooked below 160? IIRC, there used to be some parasite or something in the US that our pork really did have to be cooked well done, but then they basically got rid of it so now it can be cooked less.

>>13246758
oh, okay. I've done that before too, but never really had problems. Adding oil to your pasta water seems to have that effect. Also, you can add extra oil afterward to keep the noodles loose if you find you still have a problem. I find that this application of olive oil adds a nice flavor just by itself. Finally, adding to the pasta water some wine and a little bit of the sauce itself, I have seen this done when making pasta.

Looting niggers will leave you alone if they smell french toast.

>>13236661
My dad used to do this, but then took it to a whole new level. Instead of leaving a sink cloth for sink matters, he just used one cloth for WEEKS and probably months for anything on the counter. Anything. Chicken juice, beef juice, vegetable juice, water, literally every last fucking thing. Even just to wipe crumbs off.

None of you people have shit on me. I grew up in a household severely neglected by an insane mother. I suffered from hunger pangs, malnourishment and would eat dog food and steal food. Her dogs ate before me so I would eat the left overs from the dogs. The food she cooked was only what the dogs would eat and she thought any kind of seasoning would give the dogs diarrhea. So, it was always unseasoned boiled meat and that was if I was lucky enough to eat.

When I was hungry which was almost always, my first resort was to try and steal saltine crackers from my mother. She ate a lot of those but if she caught me, she would beat me. I could usually steal a few without her noticing, three to four of them. After that it was stealing and eating dog treats from her or stealing fro garbage cans.

Once I started going to school, I discovered I could steal food from outside. And it was pretty easy to steal enough food for the hunger pangs to stop. I would usually steal from the school cafeteria or other kids and always eat breakfast and lunch in school.

You'd be surprised what hunger does to you. When I was a little kid, I didn't play. I was a predator. Getting food was my every waking thought and action.

This is a problem with a lot of those people and it really bothers me. There's no reason to be so damn afraid of frying a porkchop or taking apart a whole chicken or whatever.

Maybe we're eating different kinds of bread. The dark rye bread I use for my packed lunch is fine after freezing. I usually buy it on sale and freeze some of it.
I stayed at my brother's house for a couple weeks recently and he let me eat whatever I wanted from his freezer. He had a 3-lb bag of frozen chickenlegs in there. It had been cut open and then just left open in the freezer. I tried cooking one of those chalk white legs just to see and it was fucking awful.

I don't know how many times I've had to explain to my husband that you need to seal off food containers/storage especially if you expect it to last a long time as well as taste good. He was a bit of a high school flunkie not due to being unintelligent but due to being a piece of shit as a teenager, and the military gave him credit for an assload of college classes while the professors of the classes he did have to take pretty much gave him B's for showing up because of the military background. Sometimes his full understanding of things like how air exposure can cause food spoil much quicker than food sealed with little air in with it, is lacking probably from never paying attention in school.

>it's pretty normal to learn that open air breeds bacteria.
Yeah, except that's a factually wrong statement, because more than enough bacterial species are strictly anaerobic, especially the really dangerous ones like Clostridium and nasty stuff like Yersinia, Vibrio cholerae and Mycobacteria have no problem thriving under anaerobic conditions.
And if you're not hygienic in the first place, sealing your food will not preserve it anyways.
What vacuuming/sealing does is taking away oxygen that can a) react with the food itself and b) enable bacteria to grow FASTER

/fit/izen and nutrition student here. Boiling vegetables and nutrients is a complicated matter. If you don't cook/boil your vegetables, most nutrients are trapped within indigestible fiber structures, and we cannot really get to them to begin with. Cooking vegetables greatly increased the bio-availability of them. But then yes, B vitamins and vitamin C tend to leech out.., so technically, the only way we can even get to nutrients of vegetables is to sacrifice the B and C. This could be countered by drinking the broth, but... The broth now also contains all the anti nutrients like oxalates, and so drinking it will actually cause your body to lose a lot of nutrients again.

And so the whole process of trying to get nutrients out of vegetables turns into a paradoxical loop where nothing you do turns out to be good, and you realize that it would have been a much better idea to just eat foods that we actually can digest in the first place, like meat and eggs.

>They'll cut off the rot and mold and say 'look, good as new!' and tell you to 'stop overreacting' for not wanting to eat some disgusting shit covering spores that cost under $2.
They're right with certain foods though. Like you can cut the mold off hard cheese but not soft cheese. You can cut the bad parts off a vegetable but not meat etc.

Into what exactly? Trans fats? omega 6? I would genuinely like to know.

>>13253229
Well olive oil is fine, and all extra-virgin is cold pressed anyway, I think. Apparently no oil is 'bad' it's just that some are susceptible to heat and it increased the number of polyunsaturated fats that are actually harmful, whilst the usual scapegoat of 'saturated fat' isn't really that bad.

>>13235322

the regulations and techniques for butchering and packaging meat are exceptionally safe these days, you can eat just about anything (except for chicken and whitefish) at a nice pink.

anything over medium well is a waste of meat imo.

going to applebees, chilis (even though i like chilis), tgifirdays, ruby tuesdays, or any other chain microwave restaurant

a 22oz budlight should not cost me 6.50, and a burger with some egg on it shouldn't cost me 15 bucks.

>>13253806
I just don't get the basin meme. Maybe it's just a boomer/golden generation thing and they didn't have real sinks back in the day but they're so fucking gross. I did the dishes for my wife's grandparents once and they just left the basin full of water with dishes soaking in them all day until they'd clean em. By the time you'd get to the dishes the basin's full of freezing greasy water and you have to dump it all out anyway to get clean, hot water in it. They're fucking 80 so I never bothered trying to talk them out of it. Old fucks just get too set in their ways.

>>13254238
Everyone living at my grandmother's house uses basins in the sink, because the water doesn't drain. The pipes go out into the yard or something, and they're all fucked up. They carry the basins outside to dump the water. My mother broke her hip doing that, although she blames unfitting slippers.
