Steep one in water all day and then drink the water. You will learn.

>>15495470
That's because you're not using it properly. (The leaf and the meds)

>>15495464
anyone else tie a string to the stem, and tie the other end to the pot handle?

>>15495470
Lurk moar, newfag.

>>15495553
Do you put it in your ass? (The leaf and the meds)

>you have to steep a bayleaf in water ALL DAY just to taste it
why do bayleaffags shill their useless tree leaf so hard

>add more than 2 bayleaves
>overpowers the pasta sauce
Tastelets gtfo

45 minutes it takes 45 minutes of steeping to notice bay flavor. you're welcome.

In hot water? What are you talking about, in 2 minutes of how water you can test it. I can even taste it now that I had 'rona and my taste is fucked up

>>15496604
then enjoy your bay water tea. Meanwhile me and others use as a garnish in a main dish.

>>15495781
You're telling me you have never marinated anything for more than a day?

>placebo leaf

If you boiled a leaf from any tree outside in a cup of water for 45 minutes, you'd be able to taste the difference from fresh water. That doesn't mean that you could tell a single bay leaf was added to a whole pot of soup or stew. I challenge anyone to a blind taste test to see if you can detect anything less than a fat handful of bay leaves in a pot of food.

hello boris is this you?

like i said if braised/boiled 45 minutes or more I'd take you up on that wager and give you odds. Anything less than 45 min. and it would be a straight bet.

>>15495464
I love bay leaves. I put about 12 in my red beans when I cook them. Then I save them all in my leftovers.

>>15496624
why would i marinate a leaf in water for a day?

>>15495464
They fucking ruined me like 10 gallons of tomato sauce, never again

>>15495615
Yes. (The leaf and the meds)

>>15497547
Okay thanks. (The leaf and the meds)

>>15495464
I made a pizza out of crap I found in the fridge and pantry. Bay leaves ended up being one of the toppings. Pretty damn good. Rosemary matzoh bread was the crust.

if I add a bayleaf crushed up to packet mix pasta crap it tastes twice as good FACT

If you're using rosemary and thyme, there's almost no point, but if you need to add a bit of eucalyptus or bump up the oregano, a few of these suckers will help large.

To figure out if bayleaf has a taste or not; we already went over this

Take back what belongs to you
