If you order a burger anything over medium well you are a dummy

>>14108546
*medium rare

candy corn is alright

>>14108523
Cooking meat with salt dries it out...only salt meat when done cooking,

You can choose:

-Black Pepper makes everything taste better
-Spicy food is best food (must be edible)

>>14108559
Bruv, I love that shit. It tastes good and makes good sling shot ammo.

>>14108559
I fucking love candy corn.
Nobody liked it as a kid during our Halloween parties so I used to eat literally all of it than feel sick the rest of the day.

Spam is a good and versatile meat

None of my opinions are stupid, you fucking cuck.

Gravy makes any dish better. Includes sweet things too

None of my opinions are stupid, you fucking cuck faggot.

>>14108523
People use too little salt in their cooking. Salt is God's gift to humanity

If you order a burger anything under medium well you are a dummy.

>>14108523
I don't like to eat pussy

I instantly mistrust someone who says they prefer white meat chicken over dark meat.

>>14108651
I usually get it medium, but rare or medium rare ground chuck is bad. It's not a nice cut of beef that you'll cook the flavor out off, it just sogs up your burg

>>14108559
Candy corn is ok. Candy corn mixed with dry roasted peanuts is 10/10

>>14108523
Anyone who cooks and bakes in anything other than cast iron can't be taken serious.

Not one of my opinions are fucking stupid, you neckbeard fat fuck faggot.

>>14108523
You don't need to salt pasta water

>>14108523

are we literally reposting /r/cooking threads word for word now

jfc i cant wait until quarantine is over so you faggots can get the fuck off my board

>>14108559
Candy corn is delicious and I genuinely do not understand people's dislike for it

>>14108592
it's too salty

>>14109064
it's not salty enough

>>14108592
This but unironically

>>14109077
Baste

Cast iron is the stupidest shit

Sous vide is dumb

>>14109077
You fucked up by admitting to reddit use, dummy.

i have never ever had good turkey and it has led me to believe turkey is irredeemably shit

Chicken is better than beef, all things considered.

>>14109151
It's easy to chase tranny asspussy on Reddit though

Garlic is shit. It makes you smell like a trashcan for days on end and turns your stomach upside down so you every time you puke a little in your mouth you're reminded that you're retarded for eating Satan's poisoned cloves.

>>14109174
Garlic is literally the best thing to ever come out of Gods greasy asshole and you are a kike for thinking otherwise.

>>14109174
Garlic is known to be good for your stomach and if you eat enough of it or take a garlic pill every day you'll build up your immune system and other shit. Mosquitos hate garlic blood too.
Oh yeah, and garlic tastes fucking delicious you cuck faggot.

>>14109168
Not a bad opinion, considering that chicken is a healthier protein option too.

>>14108523
Unless you cook for a living, a home cooked meal is not as good as going out or ordering in besides a few specialty dishes.

It's also not a combination of tasty and cheap. You're all fucking liars.

>>14109279
Sounds like you're just shit at cooking. Homecooked bolognese sauce and pasta should be better than some Olive Garden shit every fucking time you make it, and no, that shit isn't a "specialty" dish. It's a staple.

>>14109271
I mean it tastes better and is used for better dishes

>>14109283
>Sounds like you're just shit at cooking.
Probably, but it's also not worth the time. If you have your grandma's special recipe that you spend 10 hours to make, I'm sure it's great, but if you're a smug cunt about everyone needing to make their own sauce from scratch, I bet theirs ends up awful.

>>14108557
*rare

>>14109321
I'm the smug chad who makes a sauce from scratch yet doesn't take ten years to finish it. That's my entire point. Cooking from home should taste good and should be as easy/quick as calling for delivery. It's sad that fags like yourself can't seem to grasp that.

>>14109340
Don't ever call yourself Chad. It means you're not.

The shittiest assumption you make is that everyone actually knows how to cook, or that every person has been taught how to go find the best seasonal ingredients at the best prices - or that they have the time. Most don't. So home cooking turns into a garbage medley of expiring foods you didn't want in the first place.

If you're a good cook, props to you, but it doesn't mean that a home cooked meal is better for *everybody*.

>>14109321
I takes like 10 minutes to make a damn good sauce from scratch, just put some olive oil and chopped garlic on medium heat, i like to add my seasoning into the oil but you can also add it after you add a can of crushed, diced, or whole peeled tomatoes. Put in some pasta water, maybe some butter if you're into that and let it simmer until thick

Michelin Star restaurants are a stupid concept

>>14109168
Chicken is healthier and tastier than beef so you're right

>>14109364
Sorry that you're just another cuck who's mommy didn't teach you proper kitchen skills. Now go gobble down some bagle bites or some canned bullshit fatty

>>14108564

there's an additional completely subjective level of enjoyment in having a well made meal prepared at home.
my pizza probably isn't actually really any better than dominos but I still like eating mine more.

>>14108523
Pasta dishes are an inferior food option that only fools buy at restaurants, it's only good for when you'r too drunk to cook anything complicated at home.

Induction is the best stove top

>>14108559
Candy corn rules

>>14109638
i wish i had an induction. i have coil stove burners which fucking suck ass.
im thinking of either getting one of those copper diffusers or a stove top griddle to cope

>>14109638
I have induction and I hate it. It's so unreliable and doesn't give consistent heat.

>>14109617
Precisely! Pasta is just senceless stuffing with dough

Gumbo should always be seafood

All burgers should have onion and iceberg lettuce (not because it's good but the essential cool crunch)

Crab cakes should be deep fried

Mexican food should never have dairy

That's all for now

tex mex is a million times better than real mexican food, i'll have extra sour cream on my taco thank you vm

>>14109809
Agreed. Mexican is cool and all but tex-mex is way better. And every Mexican in America agrees.

>>14109843
Usually to appease the aggressive guy with a gun that he wouldn't be allowed to own in a sensible system.

>>14109174
Onions as well. Some simpletons think garlic and onions belong to every single dish

>>14109809
>>14109843

I'm in Australia, never had Mexican food until this year. Never even heard of Tex Mex and realized there is a restaurant near my area that does it. I'm checking that shit out.

>>14109843

yyyyep. the best tex mex places usually have a dozen "authentic" dishes too like cochinita pibil, carnitas and a couple moles and street tacos to please everyone too

>>14108601
Gravy is boomer tier sauce. There's nothing interesting about it, it's literally made from the inedible remains of the worst poultry.

>>14109279
you can't cook for shit can you

>>14109917
sounds like someone doesn't know how to make fond into a good pan-sauce/gravy from roasts. Shit-tier bad cooking opinion

>>14108523
water is the best ingredient

>>14109936
No, heat is. Heat beats water.

>>14109974
but moisture levels determines the reaction when an ingredient hits the pan, as well as temperature, it is a balance no?

>>14109980
Its a holy trinity!

>>14109427
His shit is pretty good. Your palate is just fucked up from constant overloading with flavor enhancers, which are in everything pre-made.

Learn to cook if you can't believe that fucking tomato sauce needs a professional chef. That's like thinking you need a car mechanic to change tires. It's that basic.

>>14108564
Salt prevents osmosis so it literally gets drier if you don't put it on before cooking you absolute retard I have to eat a blood pressure pill now

Sweet stuff is best with savory dishes. It's legitimately why pineapple on pizza is so good. Same with cranberries or honey drizzle on a pie with onions and bacon

>>14110003
it also draws out surface moisture (which should be dried off) which prevents the meat from boiling when it hits the pan, moving straight to mallard reaction and better flavour

>His shit is pretty good. Your palate is just fucked up from constant overloading with flavor enhancers, which are in everything pre-made.
>Learn to cook if you can't believe that fucking tomato sauce needs a professional chef. That's like thinking you need a car mechanic to change tires. It's that basic.

>>14110003
if you didn't eat so much salt your blood pressure wouldn't be so high

>>14108523
If it's my opinion then it's not stupid you dumb faggot because the moment I cease to exist the universe is done making everything I say or do objective fact. This thread didn't even exist until my subconscious willed it so I can laugh at your retardation for even THINKING such a thread is an okay idea.

>>14109589
Goes completely the opposite way, people are convinced dominos is good because they order it? I think you just like to get delivery and don’t know how to control your flavors and ingredients

celery is pointless and adds nothing but water content
there are tonnes of better vegetables that add the same flavours and more without wilting and rotting before you even get to put them in your fridge

honey improves most soups whether vegetable or meat based when used in the right amounts

coarse salt has no place with steaks, standard table salt is more consistent and that consistency leads to a far better end product

the smell of flour is gross whether or not it's rancid

plant based oils are convenience ingredients and animal based oils should be used whenever and where-ever possible, not just as a replacement for plant oils.

>>14108679
that's not a dumb opinion at all, they're already lying to you

>>14109174
stop eating the sprout in the middle of your slowly decomposing garlic
you're supposed to eat the flesh
if your garlic is old roll a clove between your fingers and it'll peel away, separating from the shoot that can cause indigestion
keep in mind sprouting happens before you can even see the sprout so if it feels a little soft it's started

>>14110365
i've had some pretty bad home made pizzas and some really good ones but dominoes is a pretty reliable mid-tier, so for people that suck and don't want to get better it really is their unironic high-end option

>>14110415
I don't know how you've done it but every single thing you said is wrong

>>14109427
Try it man, it's better than any canned sauce

>>14109064
Correct

>>14109843
I'd rather have tamales, birria, and authentic tacos then tex mex iceberg lettuce slop salad

>>14110415
It takes ages for celery to go bad in my experience.
>animal based oils should be used whenever and where-ever possible
Gross

>>14110415
Sure dominoes is an okay baseline but obviously people who don’t properly cook and refuse to learn are wrong when they say it’s impossible to do better and only bias has people thinking otherwise

>>14109427
Haha this guy cant make red sauce. Holy fuck.

>>14109077

Huh?
If you're applying this to the average person then fair enough, but it's a fair assumption that anyone using a cooking board is going to at least be someone skilled at cooking.

>>14109364
>cooking is bad because I don’t know how to do it
We are trying to teach others to cook, anon. Every recipe is an easy concise instruction how to cook correctly, it is not a difficult feat, nor is it an insult to recommend a recipe

>>14110479
i dont even hate celery i just hate dealing with it's shelf life, and if it lasts long for you thats good but i've never had any luck, it must be getting shipped from the other side of the country or some shit before it gets to me
>animal fats
in reasonable amounts of course, a little goes a long way
fats improve other flavours, and animal fats are not only tastier in most cases, but also better for you than many plant oils, not that health is a big concern of mine

>>14110443
then lets fight about it isnt that the point of the thread wiseguy

>>14110457
>>14110036
Based

>>14109064
but it does taste better if you do. the salt being inside the pasta is indeed superior.

I think vegans/vegetarians are on to something because if you need so many spices to make meat palatable you might as well use them on vegetables instead and spare yourself the cholesterol.

>>14109279
Kind of agree, but I still cook at home because I can create unique tastes that I get get anywhere else. There will never be any bread that tastes exactly like the bread I've made, so that is culinary experience in itself. But that's not to say I make it often.

>>14110795
cholesterol is the chemical starting point for most human neurotransmitters. increasingly I think we know little about nutrition beyond too food much bad, exercise good.

>>14110795
Meat is good with just salt. Most people don't use enough of it.

Pretty much the only food that doesn't need salt is fruit, so there's a point for the fruititarians.

>>14110816
Your body makes its own cholesterol in sufficient amounts.

>>14110795
vegans/vegetarians have nothing to do with it
people who eat meat can eat vegetables just fine, but please go ahead and pepper your salad I don't give a shit

>>14108523
Beans are only good for their sauce. The actual beans themselves are bland shitty and ruin the texture of other foods.

>>14109168
Lamb is better than both

>>14108584
>>14108559
same frens, if you never built your own cobs out of candy corn you had no childhood

>>14110795
What culture are you basing this off of? If it’s Indian, then you’re correct because most Indians are vegetarian (but there’s gonna be dairy, you better fucking believe it kid). If it’s Chinese, you’re correct because they have been a slave race for generations upon generations and have had to subsist on shitty diets using poor ingredients and thus they learned to cook them with large amounts of vegetables and spices/sauces. There’s certain cultures where you’re correct, but it’s entirely cultural, and I would assume you’re a faggot that thinks you can mash your rectangular solution into a circular problem without any regard for proper thought paths.

>>14110874
Well fuck, that is indeed stupid.

>>14108523
I drink coffee, beer, whiskey, and wine for the taste.

Medium-well is perfect anything more or less is just retarded.
Wendy's is the greatest fast food chain. It has surpassed McDonalds and Burger King on all levels:
Burgers - Baconator is better than anything (Burger King might have an argument here, but McDonalds is dead)
Fries - Wendy's fries are now better than McDonalds sorry. Sea salt wins my friend.
Desserts - The frosty is miles ahead of the mcflurry. Also McDonalds shitty ass ice cream machine always broke anyway except during St Patricks.
Italian food is the best food and it's not even close, that's why those wop fucks are always fat as shit.
Garlic and Onions are the greatest seasoning and toppings ever. Literally all you need besides salt and pepper.

>>14111044
Yes to coffee and maybe wine. The other two taste like shit.

>>14111527
Beer is weird because I enjoy drinking it a lot. I actually don't know if I enjoy the taste or moreso the actual physical feeling of drinking it being refreshing.

>>14110003

>inedible remains of the worst poultry.
you do know that there is more that just turkey gravy? chicken gravy is the better of the 2 but you can use almost any broth to make a gravy, its just meat juices and flour (some people use cornstarch) or you can use butter and make a roux for jambalaya or gumbo.

>>14110795
Pretty much any good cut of meat from any animal (i.e. not offal, or things considered to be discard that were adapted by poor/peasants) will be delicious with nothing more than a grill and salt (optionally black pepper/garlic).

You don't crack black pepper onto protein until it is resting.

have you heard of recipes???

I pretty much ignore any directions in a recipe to knead the dough for x minutes at the start, right after combining the ingredients. It’s a pain in the ass to do while the dough is still sticky or crumbly. I just do it for about a minute or until everything looks more or less combined, the rest comes after letting the dough rest.

Depends on the pasta imo. My homemade bolognese and fettuccine alfredo are better than most restaurants but I can never get an arrabbiata sauce just right

It has always been 90%+ straight and less than 10% gay. People have polls every year about this and other things and it has been consistent for the last 5 years at least. Most of the gay shit used to be tongue in cheek but now its just people new to the board thinking that pretending to be incredibly gay = funny.
As I'm typing this out I'm realizing that I am probably going to stop going there entirely. There isn't that much to actually discuss and all the people that actually lift can only be found on /plg/ where they post anime pictures more than stuff about lifting. Most of the people who used to browse have left with the influx of r9k, pol, and reddit so most people either haven't ever lifted or have lifted for 3 months and try to give advice. Fuck it really is a shit hole when I put it out into words

>>14122919
These are pretty mainstream opinions that 90%+ of people agree with

>>14112733
And now it is here so it is less gay by default.

Cast iron is great. Never had an issue with eggs and shit sticking because I know how to cook.

How do you do eggs in cast iron? I've just never tried

ketchup on hot dogs is edible.

Fuck salt, everything always have too much of it. I'm convinced most people have disabled tongues and can only perceive strong basic flavors like salt and sugar

Like I said, if you're a really good cook, good for you. For your average person, it's not better. 95% of people who don't work in food & cooking are just overconfident in their abilities. Maybe you have a couple of good dishes, but home cooking is not de facto better.

>>14117550
it's how you smell, dude
mosquitoes can smell blood and detect mammals by the carbon dioxide they exhale
mosquitoes fucking hate garlic because of the natural sulfur but you have to eat a lot of it fresh and often

>>14110415
>if your garlic is old roll a clove between your fingers and it'll peel away, separating from the shoot that can cause indigestion
is this real? ngl i just cut up the shoot with the rest of the garlic out of laziness but i've been keeping my aromatics stored properly and they haven't been sprouting lately

>>14124851
I just set my burner a notch below medium, put a half Tbsp of butter on the skillet, then I cook 3 fried eggs like usual. People think that frying eggs on cast iron is hard because they either don't take care of their skillets or they are not using oil. I've had non-stick folks on this site come at me about cooking my eggs using butter like they don't use any oil at all. If you aren't using any oil to cook your fried eggs, even on a non-stick, you're cooking some shit eggs.

>>14109631
a steak is not a burger, a pit of pink is fine, but not only is it dangerous, it's kinda gross and leaves uncooked pieces of beef in the middle as it doesn't cook throughout like a steak. you can get away with it with fresh ground beef, but even then anything under medium is just gonna taste raw, a burger needs all that fat rendered and to have juiciness.

>>14125146
More of a scrambled eggs guy. I found a gordon ramsay video about it when I was in early high school and have done it his way ever since. Fried eggs are good too though, my second favorite egg and I'll try that out sometime

>>14124187

I think a big problem is that the factory seasoning is often shit and doing it properly, while not hard, is too much of a bother for people.

yeah, used to do the same as you but didnt make the connection on the sprouts and minor discomfort, i think the sprout itself might just be harder to digest or something because as far as I know they're not actually toxic.
you gotta squeeze pretty firm but its easy to roll it, sometimes the batch you buy is just an old one and you can't help it if it starts to sprout on you a bit
since i started doing it i haven't had any issues no matter how much garlic i use, and i use a lot

>>14125199
I actually cook my scrambled eggs the same way, but on a non-stick. It might be harder to do with cast iron because cast iron retains a lot of heat even when you lift it off the stove. I know that method requires lifting your skillet to cool so you don't over cook them.

>>14108559

your cooking isn't that good bro

>>14110846
this is incorrect.

>>14126258
This is correct. "Food" is in fact harmful; the human digestive tract is evolved to process sunlight only.

I'm not a fan of sauces/dressings

I actually cook my scrambled eggs with half an egg. The half egg pushes it over the top a bit, while a whole egg just falls flat, no matter how many times I scramble it. Honestly, not a huge deal for me, but other people may react differently. Your mileage may vary, but what I have been discovering is that using the perfect amount of egg is the trick!

Plus, sometimes a small bit of olive oil goes a long way when cooked in a skillet or an egg pot. So I tried this out on scrambled eggs (with sausage and black beans) the other day, and I definitely need to do a post on this. In the meantime, I just use a little extra olive oil on top of my eggs every morning.

Worst opinion in this thread, anything and everything should be covered from top to bottom in garlic salt, garlic powder, and fresh garlic.

Add cummin to the pasta water together with some salt
Thank me later

>>14109064
I mean you dont have to in the same way that you dont have to season anything if you dont want to. But salting your pasta water is LITERALLY the only way to season pasta

>>14108523

>>14116894

Nigga pasta in unsalted water just tastes like pasta. I get you got too used to excess salt in everything, but it doesn't make pasta "bland".

i'd rather have a grilled chicken breast over a steak. it's not that i don't like steak and it isn't even that expensive since i live in texas. i just find that it's hard for me to get in the mood for steak while i always like grilled chicken

It is very much correct. Dietary cholesterol is entirely unneeded. All you need is regular fatty acids, your body uses them to make cholesterol. If you cease to consume exogenous cholesterol your body starts to make a little more.

>>14109617
Based. Pasta is only good as a side to something else.
Stuff like lasagna is an exception because the proporion of pasta to other stuff is better. Just noodles with sauce is shit tier nutrition.

Cheese by itself is disgusting and only good as an ingredient/melted on top of something.
Cranberries are shit and only belong in cocktails.
People whining about "muh diarrhea" bc of fast food / mexican food/ w/e are either have a horrible diet in general, are huge liars, or a very small minority with sensitive ass digestive systems.

you have to rinse off slimy chicken

I wasn't aware liking candy corn was an unpopular opinion until years after I grew out of Halloween and just wanted to buy some for myself cause I missed them. Why're they so hated?

>>14109174
white people be like

Canned tuna, ketchup, mustard, mayo, and chicken salad are all disgusting. Chicken is only good because of how it's seasoned, the meat itself is awful.

>>14108559
>>14108579
>>14108584
>>14129657
Candy corn is hated because it uses two of the shittiest colors (yellow and orange), it tastes like wax, and the texture of the candy itself is literally just wax.
You have all these candies to choose from, especially on Halloween, and you fags choose candy corn??? Just kill yourselves, why live when your tastebuds obviously don't work correctly.

My father took a garlic pill everyday during his homeless "pity me" stint and it helped with not only warding of mosquitos but the apparent bedbugs as well. Bugs that like blood just do not like garlic, fresh or in garlic oil pill form. Just take it regularly and you'll hopefully notice a difference.

>>14125214
>people can't season a pan
Pretty fucking accurate considering that it isn't a hard task whatsoever. Doesn't help that people wash their cast irons in hot water with direct dish detergent on it, scrubbing away...
>temp control
I have the shittest stove and even on medium low heat my cast iron still ends up smoking sometimes. It sucks but you manage.

>>14125147
I seriously don't understand people who think you can undercook GROUND BEEF. It's basic food safety/high school education (If you didn't take a cooking/food science class in high school you're a grade A retard, even my continuation high school for the fuck ups had a food science class) to understand why ground beef cannot be eaten rare/medium rare like a goddamn steak.
If you seriously don't understand why, it's because a steak only has bacteria/microbes on it's surface area. Beef is too tough for parasites to penetrate unlike ground beef which literally is put through a meat grinder and can easily be exposed to anything in the air or surrounding surface area, dangerous or not.
>>14108546 >>14108557 >>14109327 these are retards not to be trusted. If your burger is pink, rage like a tranny being misgendered and demand your money back.

>>14123202
Yeah, if you buy shit ground beef like a pleb. Patricians ground their own beef from top tier cuts/butchers and know it's safe to eat medium rare

>>14115989
CHAOS WINS AGAIN

>>14129800
Everybody understands why, in theory, burgers aren't the same as steak when it comes to food safety, dum dum. That said, your high school home ec course (I took woodworking because I don't have a vagina) probably also told you to cook chicken to 165F. If you went to a restaurant and ordered chicken that was cooked to 165 you'd probably send it back because it was dry and tough. In the same way, literally every restaurant anywhere will happily serve you a rare or medium rare burger, and medium rare burgers are easily the most popular temp. Restaurants don't take chances, and wouldn't serve things if they thought people would get sick (one case of food poisoning is enough to shut down most places). Unless you're literally buying clearance Walmart ground beef the chances of getting sick are about as high as eating an egg with a runny yolk. Plus, a burger cooked over medium is disgusting.

>>14129860
bcs its better the other way... this is especially true to simple pasta dishes with few ingredients. Many of these dishes(carbonara, aglio olio) depend on the emulsification of the sauce with the pasta(and pasta water). If you make a fire bolognese the way you prepare the actual pasta doesnt matter that much.
