/ck/ - Food & Cooking

enjoy your characterless soup

ITT: People who need to stop shitposting.
>OP

There is no food that can't be boiled and eaten safely. All other forms of cooking are purely hedonistic indulgences. If you own a frying pan or oven, you're essentially an atheist.

>>16877368
Imo onions taste better in soups and fonds when sweated. Leek or chives work much better raw.

>Guinness needs to settle half way through the pour.
Fuck off potato memers

>>16877466

agree about the onions.

As to the op, there's definitely a difference whether you just drop ingredients in boiling water, or whether you sauté or sweat or fry them beforehand.

>>16877368
when you sweat down mirepoix in some light olive oil, it infuses the oil with the sought-after aromatics and permeates the entire dish

>>16877480
thats a from tap thing so you dont overfill and spill
if you are just pouring from a can/bottle then its a big meme

>>16877441
lmao faggot

>>16877368
Well that depends on the soup, doesn't it? No one believes that is some universal rule for all soup.

>>16877441
Salt too of course.

no it doesn't.

>>16877947
It absolutely does retard. Where are you rinsing it off at? Think for 2 seconds.

lol, lmao

>>16877368
You don't have to, but it will definitely enhance the flavor. You should bake them instead if you're working with potatoes, pumpkin, etc. It adds another flavor profile to a cream soup.

>>16877368
Toasters.
Just butter a pan, fry the bread. Boom, buttered toast.

>>16877368
>you need to brown ground beef for stuff like tacos or pasta sauce

im not sure it does anything for flavor, but it for sure drys it out. I just cook out the pink and dont let it fry. An alternative would be to brown a small portion.

>>16877368
is that really a problem, though?

>start the ingredients in a dry pot
>saute them and then just add water or stock

>>16877441
Kek

>>16877441
Jesse, what the fuck are you talking about?

>>16878550
you eat unseasoned tacos?

>>16878574
what do you mean?

>>16878403
no it doesn't you gob stuffing retard. you cannot prove otherwise.

>>16877947
CDC said otherwise, so fuck off shitskin

>>16878846
>t. slep through bio 101

>>16878893
The same CDC who are saying the vaccines are safe?

>>16878893
CDC says racism is a public health issue.

When Trump started shilling the fax was when he lost my support.

>>16878919
who exactly has your support

>>16878919
What? Even before when he moved the US embassy in Israel?
It should of been obvious (((who))) was controlling him.

>>16878924
None of them now.
I’m politically homeless.

>>16878924
Trump! There's legal buttsex in Botswana now and he made it happen. I can finally rest.

>>16878942
It’s all a fucking shit show now.
Hopefully Kamala won’t be too bad, say what you want about her at least she ain’t Hilary.

>>16877368
making cuts that are parallel to the cutting boards when dicing onions is a fucking idiot’s errand…onions are naturally sliced radially so there is no reason to make those extra cuts, and doing so outs you as a smoothbrain who failed trigonometry
you see pro chefs do this constantly but it’s only because someone told them to do it, so they tell their underlings to do it too
right up there with “put oil in pasta water” or “add a cork when cooking octopus”

>>16878554
Yeah soups shouldn't take more than 1 pot to make

>>16878978
She's a real hotty, but I've never had trouble with the "dreaded" parallel cut so I don't see the point.

>>16878409
Guess you sear your steak to seal in the juices

>>16879309
it’s not about “trouble”…I can cut a parallel cut n my sleep; it’s utterly useless AND makes uneven dice, so glhf trying to work in a kitchen with standards

olive oil in

>>16879373

pretty based.

>>16879152
Are you retarded?

>>16878969
I've wondered about this before but figured that there must be something I was missing. Guess not.

>>16877368
>everything needs to be deeply browned because maillard reaction

Don't get me wrong, deeply browned food does taste great but not every dish needs to have that flavor. There are plenty of dishes that I think work better with little to no browning on the meat and veg. Even boiled meat can be great in the right circumstances.

>>16877368
my girlfriend makes that same face when someone is doing her in the ass

>>16877441
Holy based

I'd like to report this post for ANTI-SEMITISM!!!

>>16879994

>not you
Jeez. We didn't need to know you're a genuine cuck.

>>16879946
Same. Definitely one of the does it cause was told croud here. Unfortunately, I'll probably continue to

>>16877947
Let's assume it doesn't spread germs. Why would you rinse off your chicken?

>>16880175
to get the germs off

>>16880237
where do the germs go

>>16880237
isnt that the point of cooking?

>>16877368
op is american

>>16880237
So where do the germs go? All down the sink drain? no water ends up anywhere else at all?

>All the chicken washers ITT
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4KwNAG0DAw

It's funny that admitting you wash meat is basically admitting that you're black.

>>16880249
Certainly there won't be any salmonella left in the sink. Just pat your chicken dry retards. You're going to have to after you soap it up anyway.

>>16880307
This post physically hurt me

>>16880322
That was the entire point. You're welcome.

>>16877368
why would you want your soup to taste less good by not sauteing it first?

>>16877441
what a jackass. tons of assumptions and a disdain for good cooking methods.

>>16877441
boiling food removes most of the nutrients. steaming is by far the better method

>>16880175
to get the slime off.
then pat dry.
then add unctuous oils and spices.
there aren't any germs of any consequence if there were why would you eat it? or want it on the bird?

>>16880307
no one uses soap.

>>16880523
Why does your chicken have slime on it?

>>16877368
You do not need to salt pasta water, it does nothing

>>16880560
Don't know, same reason pork does?

>>16880560
i think he just means the fascia, or maybe the meat juices that come out in vacuum sealed or frozen chicken

>>16880440
>>16877441
Wrong, roasting over a fire is the way god intended food to be eaten. All others are as a result of the technology of heathens.

You're eating steamed meat.

>>16877441
fuck off hans

>>16880700
That guy obviously doesn't normally wash it at all and was just trying to satisfy somebody else's demand in that instance

>>16877368
>seasons shrimp
>cooks it with shell on
>removing shell takes off 80% of the seasoning, just a thin mohawk strip of seasoning left
>Say the shell adds flavor
Do what you will shrimp and marina, but if you're putting Cajun on it shuck it beforehand man.

>>16880873
you're supposed to lick the shell to season your mouth, not the shrimp

>Steak has blood in it.

BLOOD ISN'T IN MUSCLES WATER IS FAGGOT

>cooking is hard

>>16880922
Isn't the red stuff myoglobin? The blood is hemoglobin.

Based post for a cringe thread

>>16878978
I cut my hand trying to do parallel cuts once. I rarely do them anymore. When I do, I cut the root end off to create a stable base and then rotate the onion. I've never had trouble with the onion staying together long enough to finish the dice.
