>>15467432
left column are shit but i use both on the right. iodized salt to protect my thyroid gland and lemon juice for sweet tea

>>15467432
Wtf bros I use those things

>>15467449
minced garlic tasted like fermented cum
Kraft Parmesan "cheese" is just sawdust and salt

>>15467432
anyone can make good food with expensive, fresh ingredients. takes a good cook to make good food using shitty ingredients. respect your elders

>>15467464
Weird, it says it’s cheese.

>>15467471
I think the problem here is not mincing garlic, shredding parmesan or squeezing lemon juice because of laziness

oyyyy veyyyy dis salt's not kosha

Nice try Moishe, I'm not using your jew salt. Get fucked.

>>15467432
>not using iodized salt
You're gonna get goiter

>>15467432
i agree with all these besides the minced garlic. that shit is a pain in the ass to mince and has the same flavor you autist.

>>15467432
This one made /r/gatekeeping seethe and cope

>>15467432
Anyone who has ever worked in a restaurant can confirm we all use jarred garlic, both whole clove and minced. RealLemon was oddly hit or miss. Anyone thinking a pizzeria went with fresh parmesan is fucking retarded. Iodized salt is just plain table salt.

>>15467525
Can you stay there please

>>15467551
>NooOooOOoOOoo my secret club!!!!!!
Make me faggot

>>15467544
If you're cooking in a restaurant I can understand trying to find shortcuts, but home cooks can't take as much time as they want mincing garlic or squeezing lemon
I buy shredded parmesan because it's a lot cheaper

>>15467559
You're so dense you think that is what I was saying lol

Bro how did you get this pic of my moms fridge?

>>15467476
>>15467481

>>15467432
I get the garlic, parmesan, and lemon juice but anyone complaining about iodized salt is just pretentious.

>>15467432
THAT minced garlic is filth and more expensive than fresh garlic.
THAT lemon juice sucks cock and lemons are cheap.
Kraft parm is just dried dog cum flakes
Iodized salt is fine though

>>15467572
Commit suicide pleeeeeeeeeeease ty

preminced garlic is less flavorful, but can still work fine in many recipes if you just add extra, as long garlic is not the star of the recipe. Also there's no one on earth who can tell the difference between different salts apart from finishing sprinkles on top. I love kosher salt but you're the worst kind of faggot if you pretend you can tell a difference when seasoning a soup.

I stocked up for corona in Jan 2020 and I still have a huge jar of minced garlic. Shits not great but it’s not inedible

>>15467432
Ppl who advocate for copper flavored salt are the same retards who dont realize how cheap kelp/iodine supplements are
Or shit if you dont wanna gulp pills, just eat some kelp if you really wanna be creative

>>15467432
Are you complaining about the salt as in people use too much of it, or are you saying people should only use pink salt or sea salt or some other fancy shit?

>>15467439
>and lemon juice for sweet tea
buy a real lemon. youre welcome.

>>15467562
My point is that there's nothing wrong with using these ingredients. People straight up pay to eat out while those are used.

>>15467475
>I think the problem here is not mincing garlic, shredding parmesan or squeezing lemon juice because of laziness
100% this. your food will be 10x better if you stop cutting corners that dont need to be cut.

>>15467673
use it or loose it so to speak

>>15467481
>sea salt: exists

>>15467544
>Anyone who has ever worked in a restaurant can confirm we all use jarred garlic
we minced our own because we had a food processor and containers to keep minced garlic in. sucks to work in a shitty restaurant like you, i guess.

>>15467599
a plum-size individual lemon with barely any juice=$0.60
32 oz bottle of 100% lemon juice=$2.48

>>15467432
>lemon juice
why? a lemon costs just a few cents. Is it too hard to stick a fork inside one and squeeze?

>>15467826
Because lemon juice will last forever in the fridge instead of rotting 5 days after you stabbed a handful of drops out of it to go on your scampi

>>15467851
lemons like onions last a month or more though

>>15467851
Are you a fuckin retard or something? Slice up a lemon into wedges and save the rest in a ziploc bag and put it in the fridge

>>15467812
Pussy eat the whole lemon and youll get your moneys worth if youre legit gonna try using economics as an excuse
I eat raw lemons as a snack
As long as you're not bleeding the lemon and leaving it to dry, theres plenty of juice
Just bash lemons into a bowl and use strainer then store in bottle/glass

>>15467572
>this was all it took to confuse the reditor sending him into rage

>>15467890
your teeth must be in great shape

>>15467496
no matter how hard i try to only get the garlic, and not the juice(i think its citric acid), some juice gets in there and fucks it all up. its not nearly as good as fresh garlic

>>15467931
They are
What are you implying

>>15468062
Not him but the peels will erode weaker teeth after a while

>>15467786
Not him, but yea this. These convenience products might save you a minute or two but the quality is notably worse. Plus, anyone would become faster at these tasks by simply doing them more often, thus saving time.

>>15467471
>>15467449
>>15467496
>>15467644


Garlic bulbs lasts for months in the fridge you lazy fucks. Om top of that 90% of all prepeeled garlic comes from China prisons where prisoner's peel them as a form of slave labor where some open them with their teeth because the garlic burned away their fucking fingernails.

>>15467780
That's just the explanation for why most chain restaurants are dead or on life support. They replaced fresh ingredients with pre-made crap while charging like God himself handed them those ingredients.

>>15467812
>60 cent lemons.
steal them. dont let stores cheat you out of money like that.

Shitty Parmesan cheese has its place on pizza

>>15468192
>That's just the explanation for why most chain restaurants are dead or on life support.
this. the anon who worked in a restaurant that used jarred garlic worked in a shitty, poorly managed restaurant.

>>15468192
You're not supposed to refrigerate your garlic, nor any other dry allium such as onions or shallots. As to teh OP, all of those have their uses, they're just not direct substitutes.

>>15468218
just grate your parm even finer with a microplane.

>>15467432
based

>>15468241
I like the powdery texture

>>15467432
No. It's fine to use any of those.

>>15467432
>iodized salt
?????????
that's the only thing that doesn't belong on the list

>>15467432
I use the fuck out of that garlic on my sandwiches.

>>15467432

>>15467432
iodine is extremely important for your body you fucking retard

>>15467496
Did 'rona destroy your tastebuds? Minced garlic tastes completely different from fresh garlic, it's disgusting.

If you have to use any kind of seasoning you’re a shit cook. If you use any kind of oil you’re a shit cook. If you use any kind of appliance you’re a shit cook.
If you can’t put a protein and some vegetables in your oven (not on an oven rack, those are for pussy shit cooks) and make them taste great just from turning on the oven and topping them off with some water, you’re a shit cook.

>>15467432
There's nothing wrong with shaking cheese.

Anyone who says they can taste the difference between fresh squeezed and packaged lemon juice when just used in cooking and not, like, lemonade, is a pretentious liar and they know it

>>15467496
You are a retarded fagot

>>15467779
To expensive if you go trough a lemon a day, atleast in my country

>>15467812
Wtf are you alaska?
In FL limes are 10 cents and Lemons are 20 cents

>>15467931
Forget about his teeth, his butthole must sting like fuck when he takes a shit

I'm trans

>>15467489
Never trust a cook without a goiter.

>>15467432
There is nothing wrong with the salt. Salt is salt. Only difference is if you want to have large crystals for presentation.

>>15468855
lemons and limes dont grow year round in places that arent inhospitable swamps filled with jews, faggots, and old people.

Botled lemon juice is fine for literally anything besides lemonade, and only children drink lemonade.

>mother always used jarred garlic, claiming that fresh garlic went bad too quickly
>moved out and only got fresh
>wondered why the garlic was so strong and good tasting
>realize i never tasted real garlic

also
>go to their house, start chopping real garlic and mincing it, extremely easy
>mother asks me how to do that

>>15467432
Don't forget number five and six, sous vide machine and cast iron skillet with a spout

>>15469010
This was the same case for me and fresh ground pepper. Industrialists tried to kill the idea of fresh spices with boomers.

>>15468681
>faggot leftie thinks the plandemic is real

>>15469032
i get a lot of pre-ground spices but yeah pepper, garlic, kosher salt, she never used em. basically just took the half-assed way to do everything.

>>15467449
being poor isn't even an excuse, buying better quality versions of these ingredients is probably the same price if not cheaper

i understand garlic, salt and god awful fake parmesan. but why lemon juice? i get its not as good as fresh, but its not easy having things that can rot as easily as lemons sitting around all the time.

>>15469080
I have lemons in my fridge for weeks that don’t rot, what a shorty excuse.

>>15469080
Lemons cost like 50 cents.

>>15467432
I only use the minced garlic if I'm putting it under chicken breast and grilling it, other than that fresh

>>15468192
>Garlic bulbs lasts for months in the fridge
enjoy your mold brainlet

>>15467779
They’re so fucking expensive and it’s annoying because I love lemons and would gladly use one every day multiple times a day

>>15467432
I buy that powdered parmesan but it's specifically to make Sizzler cheese toast.

>>15467449
same here, i am not a pretentious cook and sometimes i wont have the fresh ingredients, these will substitute well

I live in north eurpope and only see lemons being sold in the summer. sux because I love putting that shit on chicken, salads, fish etc. everything else in that pic i don't do though

>>15469267
You cant afford 50cents for a fucking lemon? Get limes they are dirt cheap and you can add sugar too the tea and it tastes the fucking same

>>15467432
All those virgins defending kosher salt instead of using iodized and fluorized table salt.

>>15467544
lol what? nah man, i worked at nice restaurants. we peeled all our own garlic in out downtime. thats disgusting.

>>15469267
at least get actual not-from-concentrate lemon juice/something organic, you can get one for like 3 or 4 bucks and it'll last you months

>>15467432
i usually hate jarred garlic, but theres this one organic brand that doesnt have that horrible taste of usual jarred garlic, so in some cases i make an exception to it

the fuck is wrong with salt

>>15469435
I think it's that it's table salt not kosher salt

(((kosher))) lol

>>15469435
There's enough in everything already, kosher salt is great for preparing fish but that's about it.
Definitely need salt for making caramel and regulating bread.

>>15468848
>>15469267
are you all poorfags or somethin

>>15467432
>saw all four growing up
>mom's a shitty cook
Checks out.

>>15469482
Poor enough to know a ripoff when I see it, fresh lemon cuck.

>>15467432
The garlic and parm absolutely, the salt and lemon juice are not as big a deal, though fresh-squeezed is better.
Really it's more the sign of an insecure person in the kitchen, nitpicking shit like using iodized salt like that makes them a good cook for parroting shit they've read somewhere. People like this are a scourge and they're the reason why foodtube eceleb faggots always caveat a million things every video, to appease their main subscriber base of people who tune in to watch food get cooked in 5 minutes and assume they know everything about a recipe.

>>15467432
I use real garlic, real lemons and real parmiggiano, but I still use iodized salt
insisting on using kosher salt or, god forbid, himalaian salt is the mark of someone who falls for trendy marketing memes

>>15467439
>he doesn't have a lemon tree

Garlic paste is fine for certain applications tbqf

>>15467432
Iodised salt tastes exactly the same. I take iodine drops just in case, no goiter or other thyroid shit in my house. Also fuck thyroid cancer when there's radiation.

>>15468288
>Anon that was fantastic!
>It tasted exactly like what you'd get at that fancy restaurant!
>>15467763
He thinks I made fun of his popcorn condiment collection and now he's being a little asshole

>>15469414
>fluorized
it's turning the fucking frogs gay

>>15467432
Nothing wrong with lemon juice, also iodine is a necessary part of the human diet.

>>15468885
The ol tangy butthole

I'm the best cook on /ck/ and have encyclopedic food knowledge and yes this meme is correct

>>15467432
bitching about lemon juice is just straight pretention. so is iodized salt. I don't like garlic so I can't comment on that, and kraft parmesan is shit and I love it because I grew up poor.

>>15469888
it got stolen

>>15467432
the "cheese" is just dog shit.
but the other 3 are fine.

Does being a good cook require not valuing ones time?

io salt is good for nutrients, it works sometimes
low grade cheese is just for dogs
who the fuck cant procure some lemons, what is the long term need
this thread has inspired me to go find some pickled garlic, so thanks

>>15467432
>minced garlic
don't be lazy
>parmesan
don't be poor
>lemon juice
don't be lazy
>iodized salt
?

>>15467432
yeah because we're all unemployed lazy bums that have hours to cook all their meals every day. kys now!

>>15470148
How long do you take to mince two cloves of garlic or squeeze a lemon?

>>15467474
They add a shit ton of sawdust to it to prevent clumping. Any shredded cheese contains that and a fuck-ton of salt for preservation and to mask taste. It's cheaper and easier to just buy a paresan wedge and grate it over your food for a better taste. It lasts near forever in the fridge so there's no real excuse.

>>15467432
I keep a thing of lemon juice because sometimes I just forget to buy lemons and for the 3% of things I use it for it's fine. I get the stuff that's not from concentrate though.

>>15470067
Eating is something you'll spend most of your life doing. Is it valuing your time to skimp out on preparation for it?

>>15470148
>buy citrus juicer
>buy cheese grater
>buy garlic press
>iodized salt is fucking cheaper than gourmet salt
You're the lazy bum here you fucking fool

>>15467779
It is real lemon inside those bottles you elitist bitch

>>15470239
Hydrated lemon extract isn't real lemon.

>>15470242
>Hydrated lemon extract
lol what that even mean?

>>15470239
>Wahhh hes gatekeeping me bawww

no its called being an am*rican

>>15470264
Found the retard.

>>15470267
literally only americans buy shit like that

>>15469080
Lemon zest. If your not using that you are throwing away your money buying lemons.

>>15467432
what is iodized salt and what is wrong with it?

>>15467559
what

>>15467432
the biggest sign of a shit chef is a thin pan they get at walmart or cooking non-fish meat in non stick pans

Why is branded American food always sold in the ugliest packaging?

>>15470340
because americans are stupid and childish

>>15467432
Lemons are almost a dollar each where I live and sometimes I just want a little dash in my vodka or whatever.
I am entirely unapologetic about the lemonjuice in my fridge, but I will buy a real lemon for dishes where lemon is a significant component.

>>15467474
Weird, it thinks it's not retarded

>>15470373
Our culture dominates the world. Seethe forever Eurelevant.

>>15470554
we know
you're also going to collapse soon

>>15470554
also your culture is not something to be proud of

>>15470574

>>15470590
Even our alphabets have more actual culture than you.

>>15470615
>thinks putting dots over English characters is culture
>wonders why no one wants to be like the eurosoy’s

>>15470389
check if your whole foods has lemon juice. mine has actually real lemon juice, 4.99 for 16oz, taste tested with fresh squeezed they are extremely similar. i use it for cooking, cocktails, and if the expiration date is coming close it's actually quality enough to use for lemonade

>>15467475
Fuck peeling garlic.

>>15470674
What I do is use the side of the knife to crush the garlic. It makes peeling a lot easier

>>15470681
Have crushed and have used the shaken bowl method. Just not worth it when costco sells an enormous jar.

>>15467489
>>15468905
Shouldn't that be a GOYter?

what wrong with iodized salt

>>15470868
here at /ck/ we mine our own salt

>>15467432
>iodized salt bad
enjoy your fucking hypothyroidism, you pink salt hipster trash

I use enough garlic when cooking that I always keep a jar of pre minced garlic on hand, less of a pain in the ass than going back to the store every 3 days for more garlic.

>>15470985
Or you could just eat clam chowder or some blue crab sometimes.

>>15470986
Why don't you get a garlic crusher then?

>>15471005
Because I'd rather mince garlic by hand than have to clean a garlic press.

Also, I'd still have to go to the store every 3 fucking days for more garlic after I use up what I buy, or buy a giant bag of just garlic.

I cook a lot of Italian and Chinese food so garlic basically goes into everything.

Fuck mincing garlic. Peeling is annoying and so is finely chopping it or cleaning a press. Pre minced in oil isnt much different in flavor.

I chop garlic on my own. I don't use it that much.
You guys really need an entire jar of it? Wtf do you do?

>>15471026
Put it in everything.

>>15467432
I believe it to be true. I especially hate that minced garlic because that liquid runs everything if you don't squeeze the fuck out of the garlic before putting it into the food.

>>15467449
I keep Sicilia lime and lemon juice around as backups in case I'm out of fresh citrus, but the stuff in OP is the absolute worst versions of those items.

>>15467489
Only if you eat like crap.

>>15467544
Once upon a time I worked at a restaurant staffed by mostly work release guys and the homeless crack heads who did trash and dish. We used fresh garlic.

>>15471026
In the last week I've made:
Mapo Tofu
Stir fried garlic chicken
Slow cooked lemon chicken with garlic and ginger

So three meals in the past 7 days I can think of used a fairly large amount of garlic.

>>15468855
Yeah because we grow them here dipshit. They're going to be more expensive in places where you have to drive them there.

>>15467432
These items are fine if you’re cooking for yourself/spouse/immediate family, and just need to make something quick and decent. You don’t use these ingredients when you’re cooking to impress.

>>15467971
The one in olive oil is better, especially if you’re cooking with olive oil anyway

>>15467432
Do tell, what the actual fuck is wrong with iodized salt, Spergus Maximus?

>>15469028
>cast iron skillet with a spout
What do you lose by having a spout? I'll wait.

>>15469924
Why are her fucking tits conjoined?

>>15467464
>fermented cum
how do you know this

>>15471176
anon...

>>15467763
Non asshole answer:

Iodized salt has a perfectly round grain. When you salt food, it does not stick to the food, and does not penetrate any meat you use it on, even if you put it on top. Kosher/sea salt/any larger grain salt has jagged edges, making better adherence to food, and provides extra flavor compared to iodized when left overnight (like in a brine, or marinade). It's even worse for salting pasta water, because of the aforementioned grain shape.
The only thing iodized salt is better at is salting soup, when you want a more homogeneous texture.

>>15471204
it dissolves in water no matter which shape?

>>15468958
Literally not true. See >>15471204

>>15471212
Only to an extent. Still sticks to pasta better than iodized. Make the same pasta a couple nights in a row, and test it for yourself.

>>15468192
>Garlic bulbs lasts for months in the fridge you lazy fucks. Om top of that 90% of all prepeeled garlic comes from China prisons where prisoner's peel them as a form of slave labor where some open them with their teeth because the garlic burned away their fucking fingernails.
If you do buy pre-peeled, get it from US sources only. Grown, processed, and packaged.

>>15471204
Where did you read this, Karen?

>>15468192
Hey I watched that garlic documentary too. I can't ever look at precur garlic the same again. Plus I hate the juice smell it comes in.

>>15471183
My My Little Pony cum jar fell out of my kitchen window and some fermented cum splashed on my freshly cooked pancakes

>>15471255
Read it in every single book on cooking ever, faggot. Iodized salt only fucking exists because of the lack of iodine in the American diet in the 20s. Literally google microscope photos of the grains, and then google your nearest hardware store so you can buy a rope to hang yourself with.

>>15471204
is it actually worth the hassle loonking for different salts?
the only difference I've noted is that salads are much better with medium-side salt grains. Nothing about its shape though

>>15467439

>All these faggots who defend iodized salt
For them and for those who do not know any better
First, Iodine has an aroma, faggots will say that they can't tell the difference when they put in their tongues, ignoring that aroma =/= taste. For most applications the aroma is not overpowering,
Second, iodized salt is a meme made to stop tastelet flyovers from dying. If you have a varied diet, specially with sea products, then you already consume enough iodine. Consuming too much iodine will make your thyroid grow, just as those living in mountainous regions who drink nothing but ground water. In short, thinking that you must consume iodized salt as a supplement is like thinking that you must consume multivitamins, it is only necessary if you have a shitty diet.
Third, there are more than two types of salt in the world, real life does not reduce itself to "based" and "cringe", there are meme salts but there is also regular non iodized salts.

>>15471282
Not really any hassle. The rounded shape of the grain is a result of it being iodized. Every other salt will stick to food, and is personal preference.

>>15471289
Thank you based saltanon. These faggots can keep their shitty salt.

>>15471289
You're wrong. A good diet will easily be iodine free without supplementation. Eating a lot of seafood just for iodine would be totally insipid behavior. Stop being wrong, you'll feel better.

>>15471314
You're actually wrong, though. Normal diets contain sufficient iodine. Quit trying to justify your addiction to shit taste

>>15471328
No they do not. The lies stop now.

>>15471176
fake tits can lead to an issue where the gap lifts and looks connected

>>15471314
>good diet is incomplete
You should reconsider what you think “a good diet” is

>>15471338
they're not fake, it's just asian genes

>>15471336
It literally is, and you're gay. How the fuck do you think literally every single cook in the world survives? They don't use iodized salt because they're not a gay retard.
Probably taking bait, but oh well.

>>15471348
It's one including iodized salt unless you're always stuffing yourself with seafood. Personally, I prefer more range.

>>15471224
>only to an extent
No fucktard salt dissolves no matter what, why do chefs think they are above chemistry? I think being a chef should be classified as a pseudoscience, it’s the same a fudd lore.

>>15471336
Oh, and I forgot to mention in my other reply that you're a gay fucking faggot retard. Please neck yourself as soon as possible.

>>15471361
You don't know anything. Dairy products contain sufficient iodine, as well as most meats.

>>15471372
So does iodized salt.

>>15471363
If you understood chemistry, you'd know it still matters. What the fuck do you think dissolution is? What the fuck so you think iodine is? You're putting that shit on everything you eat you fucking retard.

>>15471372
It has been a long time since iodine was widely used as a disinfectant in the food industry. You can not rely on dairy. As for "most meats," nope.

>>15469888
lemon trees are fucking cringe you aspie
literally grow any other fruit tree
avocado? epic. apple? epic. orange? epic.
lemon? cringe

>Yes, you should buy Kosher salt

>>15471395
>apple? epic
Apple is the worst fruit, its only good for putting into pastires.

>>15467432
No, people are just pretentious

>>15467464
Shake cheese has a small amount of sawdust. Would you rather they used some bullshit cancer chemical to keep it from caking up? Or are you just putting on an act over them not using nearly identical tasting cheese with a 1000% price difference imported from some dank cave in Italy?
And no, chopped up garlic in water tastes like chopped up garlic in water, you prissy fucking baby.

>>15471396
if they eat it, it has to be good
I'd worry about what's NOT kosher

>>15471380
It's literally in the food itself you fucking idiot. Naturally occurring. Why do you think our bodies have use for it? We just magically evolved to need an artificially created version of a natural chemical in our bodies? You might be the dumbest nigger I've ever seen in my entire life. I pray to God that nobody ever has to suffer through a meal you created.

>>15471314
>>15471328
It’s funny to see people justify what a “healthy” diet is judging by what DUDE SCIENCE says. Its amazing that we’ve advanced so much as a species but we still can’t agree on what is healthy to put in our bodies or not. 10 years ago? Dude just eat 6-11 servings of grains bro! Actually noooo nevermind here’s a new plate because pyramids are schemes, but on this plate, eat an nearly an equal amount of everything so Big (insert food industry) won’t lose money. You guys are fucking retarded and I don’t trust anything a chef says is a necessity to eat because they all look like shit, at the end of the day, taste is everything they don’t fucking care about nutrition. So quit larping and post bodies you fat fucks.

>>15471204
Falksalt sells iodine fortified sea salt and flake/finishing salt.

>>15471405
Take your tranquilizers, Karen.

You only need around 150mcg a day, which 2g of iodised salt represent 102%, too much iodine on the long run will cause thyroid and hormonal issues.

Better than shitty iodized table salt. Still have to deal with adding iodine as a flavoring, though.

>>15471411
Wow
You are such an independent thinker
You really showed those sheeple

>>15471428
>dairy products
That's because modern feed salt has about twice the iodine content of salt for human consumption. Which is probably why iodine deficiency is so much rarer nowadays than pre-WW2.

>>15471440
Milk also has iodine

>>15471445
So why would we need iodised salt in The Year of our Lord 2016+5?

>>15471453
You don't. They still sell it because people like the people in this thread are too dumb to read and still think they need it.

>>15471453
You might drink milk from some super traditional old timey farmer?

>>15471443
They arguing over iodine so yes I am superior, thanks for pointing that out.

>>15470033
By whores?

>>15471467
Even then, soil contains iodine, and the shit that grows in it, as well as what's eaten by farm animals, all contains iodine. There's really no reason to ever use iodized salt over any other salt.

>>15471487
What if you are a Depression-era urbanite who only eats pickles, white bread and margarine?

>>15471505
Pickles are brined with iodized salt, so you don't even need it then. Fuck iodized salt.

I currently have some organic lime juice in a glass bottle in the fridge. Basically as fancy as that stuff comes. One day I made some lime-cilantro rice with real lime juice and a couple of days later I made the exact same recipe using the bottled stuff. The difference was very real with the highest quality bottled lime juice.

>>15472080
A bit drunk so maybe I wasn't clear. What I tried to say is that even the best grocery store lime juice sucks compared to freshly squeezed one.

>>15468288
My tip: Keep it around mixed with salt and don't say anything to your guests OR say you're using something Japanese called Ajinomoto. No questions will be asked.

>>15467544
yea... we never used jarred garlic

>>15467432
Most prepared lemon juices have preservatives that make them taste funky, but there's some frozen and jarred stuff that is great. Nothing wrong with cheap iodized salt, but I typically buy kosher salt just because it's not much more expensive, and I got used to using it in restaurants (easier to tell how much you're adding by feel).

>>15471401
If you think proper Italian Parmigiano-Reggiano is even close to being "identical tasting" then something is seriously wrong with your sense of taste. There are half decent parmesan style cheeses made in the U.S., but the shit kraft puts in their bottles is not one of them.

>>15467481
Ioded salt has the kosher logo on it

In most cases where you just want to add some citrus acidity to a dish, the lemon juice bottle is perfectly fine. It's not worth cutting open a whole lemon for a fucking spritz that you likely won't even notice the flavor of in great detail buried under everything else.

This. I pretty much always mince my own garlic by hand and it get to be a drag at times because I suffer from tinnitus of the elbow

However, i was cooking a recipe a month or so back that called for 4 whole fucking heads of garlic and that is a super rare occurence, so in that one instance I said fuck it and bought the pre-minced stuff. Turned it fine imho

>>15471106
I think my best dishes are the ones I prepare for those people. If you don't do that shit for your family what's the point. Now if it's myself well I usually just make a sandwhich, eat a tin of tuna or, fuck it, just order out

>>15475064
you know it to be true. most people who care about not using iodized salt are people who have fallen for trendy meme salts

I can taste it in a side by side but when you put it into a dish it's not detectable honestly

>>15467432
>Minced garlic
Noticeably off-taste and less potent in comparison to freshly minced, even in relatively small amounts. Though I'm a stickler for garlic and I usually double whatever a recipe calls for.
>Kraft Parmesan
The worst of the four, I wouldn't even say it tastes like even cheap Parmesan blocks, and I find it more finnicky to cook with.
>Iodized salt
In practice I find no difference between this and other salts apart from texture. Prefer more clumpy salt when adding it as a topping, but that's a minimal difference.
>Lemon Juice
I rarely use lemons in recipes, and I find it to not be a substantial difference in taste.

>>15471289
>Second, iodized salt is a meme made to stop tastelet flyovers from dying.
>In short, thinking that you must consume iodized salt as a supplement is like thinking that you must consume multivitamins, it is only necessary if you have a shitty diet.
That doesn't really sound like a meme to me. Sounds pretty based in real-life material consequences, no?

I use the parmesan cheese because I live in a piece of shit SEA country and it's hard to find some types of actual cheese. Sorry cookbros.

>>15475934
Yeah, I think so. For a time there was a thing called the Goiter Belt because the soil more north in the U.S. doesn't contain iodide. Goiters are basically overgrown thyroid glands that happen when you don't have enough Iodide. Thanks forensic files, I learned something new.

garlic

Organic lemons aren't that cheap. I can find organic lemon juice in small glass bottles for much less per cl, and while the vitamin C may or may not be entirely gone, the citric acid is going to be in there which is the main reason to buy lemons if your diet is otherwise balanced.
Non-organic lemons are waxed to look more appealing, some of the wax penetrates the skin and you end up consuming it. That's not okay at all so don't buy those.

>>15477977
>some of the wax penetrates the skin
Sounds like bullshit, but okay, maybe.
>That's not okay at all
Why not? It's just wax. And it would have to be a truly tiny amount anyway.

>>15478002
>Sounds like bullshit
I know it does considering how thick lemon skin is, but that's the exact reason why absurd amounts of wax are allowed to be used in most countries and, the tests have been done, you do consume a fair amount.
Imazalil is a good reason to avoid non-organic too, but then you become a turbo food autist like me and reject lots of other stuff which is not realistic.
Treating your body like a filter for complex chemicals is always an option I guess. Up to you anon.

>>15472080

If you're talking about the writing style, that's likely just due to me being an ESL. Remarks like this help because I never know when a post reads like something an eccentric would type or not even when it's fine grammar-wise.
Otherwise, recommending organic seems reasonable to me, especially if you live in the US where laws aren't going to do much to protect your health.

>>15467474
When they say
>"100% grated parmesan cheese"
The "100%" is refering to the grated part, not the parmesan cheese part.

I only buy lemon juice because our local store only sells lemons in giant fucking bags and I don't have room for that.

>>15467432
I agree minced garlic in a jar is a little less flavorful but sometimes I don't want my hand to stink like garlic

>>15467432
>using salt makes you a shitty cook

>>15467432

>>15468192
>some open them with their teeth because the garlic burned away their fucking fingernails
You think I want that shit happening to me? No thanks, I'll take minced.

>>15476375
Yeah, my point being that it isn't some of abstract, cultural idea as to why they add it, but because it improved people's lives.
Might not be super-necessary today, though you have to get it from somewhere, and telling people to just eat right is less effective than having those who want to eat right with unfortified ingredients choose their food independently.

Just seems like a dumb reason to trivialize it as something made-up.

>>15471289
Kosher salt is pretty damn good

ive started using jarred garlic for anything im going to simmer for a while, and when im feeling too lazy to chop up a clove
and lemons are way too expensive half the year to keep on hand

i dont know what the problem with iodized salt is and i dont know which ive got, i think plain

>>15467475
>>15467786
the price of one of those lemon juice bottles is definitely better value than the price of the equivalent amount of lemons.

>>15467432
I have none of these in my cupboards, but I do have deenz and Cup Noodle.

Last meal I cooked myself were homemade fish goujons which I dipped in a batter I had added copious amount of salt and malt vinegar to.

>>15467432
pretty much yes. Using real garlic is trivial and is the easiest upgrade to any cook's results. Iodized salt, I dunno man, I use kosher out of habit but I honestly can't say if I'd notice 90% of the time. I haven't used iodized in like a decade though so maybe I'd notice it now. Canned parm, yes you are a monster. Unless you're making some quick and dirty parmesean fries or some shit. And lemon juice I just don't care.

I'm honestly surprised that it never once got a nickname, and everyone just kept using the scientific chemical names, even to this day.
Like, boxes of table salt don't have SODIUM CHLORIDE in big lettering across the front, and I'll bet that if they did, a lot less people would like the sound of it.
>Ew what I'm not putting "sodium chloride" in my food, I hear that gives you high blood pressure!
