/ck/ - Food & Cooking

Ideally you would have the things that cover your needs and you enjoy using. You have no idea what you're doing, so there is no "ideal loadout" for someone like you.

>>19779491
>you have no idea what you're doing
I wouldn't inherently assume that I was cooking alongside my mom for quite a few years and prepping on my own while I was lifting but using my mom's cookware. I've covered the basis of basically all the things I've thought to need over the passed 3 months but I want to get into cooking stocks, shrimp, sauces, and a few more other dishes other than chicken/salmon/steak so there is absolutely an "ideal" setup or "must have" list I can run through to ensure I have everything I need to hone my skills and be prepared to cook the wider array of foods I have in mind

>>19779659
You literally listed 9 different pans and are talking about getting more, even though the only things you came up with that you want to start making other than /fit/ slop are "stocks, shrimp, sauces". I own over 9 pans, but that's because I've been cooking for two decades, professionally for one of those, and am a hoarder. You don't need 90% of the shit you listed, and most of it sounds like it's junk anyways. The only thing it sounds like you actually knew you needed you had your mom buy for you, and yet you bought 5 different cast iron pans?

Get a big stock pot and a 3-4 quart saucepot. Don't buy a bunch of pots and pans. People tend to buy a lot more cookware than they actually need.

thats a lotta pans

>>19779695
Everything okay at home mate?

>>19779705
Realistically I don't really need anymore pans although I would like a stainless steel saucepan and saute pan just don't know what size; the Walmart pans are getting "upgraded" to those since once I learn how to use/care for the cast irons correctly; they obsolese
Noted on the pots I figured I needed 2-3 of those as that's about what my mom had
>>19779732
I'm not using the 3.5 and 6.5 ones regularly they were just cheap and cute to bust out for when my baby sister visits (pazookie/personal pie)

>>19779794
Keep going, anon. This looks like the beginning of the cringiest cookalong in /ck/ history.
>>19779806
>for when my baby sister visits
>visits
Lol. Do you think she gets impressed when you whip out your 3.5 incher and tell her to make you a pazookie because mommy isn't paying her to sit around on her phone all night? She's there to make sure you don't burn the house down.

>>19779833
are you normally this insufferable?

>>19779833
Honey Whiskey Salmon just like Yard House makes. Not quite exactly the same but the sauce came out okay :)
>Do you think she gets impressed when you whip out your 3.5 incher and tell her to make you a pazookie because mommy isn't paying her to sit around on her phone all night?
Considering she's 10 and I'm the one cooking, yeah; she'll be absolutely impressed, floored even. She loves cute shit like mini cookwear and I love making her feel special like a little princess :)
God forbid I have a loving relationship with my family with a mother and baby sister that loves me. I'm sorry you don't know what that feels like? :'(
I'll pray for you

>>19779859
Yes, but I have hyperactive saliva glands and my hands don't form calluses, so it all evens out.
>>19779896
>has a 15" pan for "prepping"
>cooks a pound and a half of salmon in batches in the 8" for absolutely no reason
Lol. I bet you're one of those people who goes to Yard House and orders a Bud Lite in a bottle.

>>19779794
Damn bro, you must really love garlic powder

>>19779926
It's okay mate let it out we're all here for you

>>19779927
Even if that was garlic powder and he was drowning everything in it, it would go stale long before he made a dent. It doesn't really matter, though, since Badia is a cheap ass Mexican brand that's usually stale before it reaches the shelf.

>mfw it was actually onion powder
>mfw I made a complete fool out of myself on /ck/

>>19779940

>>19779428
I use basically all of these pots and pans on a regular basis. They are mix of All-Clad Mc2/d3/d5, Tramontina made in Brazil, and triple ply Cuisinart made in France. I bought them all at TjMaxx/Marshalls/HomeGoods for waaaaay cheaper than retail. I have two cast irons pans (12" and 8") that I use for steaks and other shit. The non-stick pots are for reheating shit. The ceramic pan is for eggs.
>Not pictured 3qt/5qt Dutch ovens, cast iron pans, all kinds of other random shit I have
Your kitchen arsenal depends entirely in how much you cook. I have thousands of dollars in kitchen shit because I cook almost every meal for myself from scratch. Better pans won't make you cook better, but better pans can 100% make your food better once you master the art of le' cooking

>>19780003
Pots and pans and knives are cool, but if you really want to prove that you actually cook, show us your spatulas.

>>19780019
Bro...you really going to make me dig all that shit out?

>>19779428
Cooking food from cast iron gives you lead poisoning.
From tenflon good luck having kids
From aluminum enjoy Alzheimer's (but u will forget it)
From stainless steel it cooks fine but the fat you have to burn to make it idea le will cause cancer
From copper good luck if you balls drop.
Might at well order out at this point see.s safer

>>19780003
Why on earth do you have three chef's knifes?

>>19780003
Nice little collection
And noted on getting them from the bargain bin stores
I cook every meal myself and often for friends and family when they come over. Admittedly I'm not the best cook but I don't think I'm the worst either and I haven't made myself or others a meal to date that didn't subjectively taste good. I'm making due with what I have now but obviously I wouldn't mind a fully stocked kitchen complete with that same Stand mixer in the future (my mom used to use one of those all the time). I also Cooke Asian chicken stir fry pretty often as it's a good way of incorporating a shitton of vegetables into my meals so I'm thinking of maybe even investing in a legit wok...
>>19780019
My loadout is pretty sheist since it's all dollar store stuff but I make do. My knives are no good and have already dulled; pretty sure they're gonna be the next upgrade on the list
>>19780028
>Cooking food from cast iron gives you lead poisoning
Ummm no sweatie that's only if they have lead based enamel finishes; cast iron literally infuses your food with extra iron it is the gigachad way of cooking your food

>>19780057
>inb4 "plastic spatula"
I know nigger, leave me alone

>>19780038
I dunno. The Shun ones are brittle, so I keep the Victorinox if I have to chop shit where I might chip one of the Shun knives. It's also the same reason why I have two cutting boards. I would put my wife (soon to be ex) on prepping shit on the other cutting board. The nakiri gets waaaaay less use than the two chefs knives. The Victorinox is the first decent knife I got like a decade ago, and the Shun's are the "upgrade" I bought about 4 years ago. I use the everliving shit out of the Shun chef knife, so much so the laser engraving has almost completely worn off. I got the paring knife for free when I bought the other two.

>>19780027
No...and that image isn't up to date anyways. I just think it's hilarious whenever someone posts their shitty cooking, gets criticized, and then tells everyone to post their own cooking or shut up. I don't think OP even did that, but it happens so often these days I enjoy mocking them - even if nobody gets that it's done (half) jokingly.
>>19780057
Half of those aren't even spatulas. Seriously though, do you have an oven? Why don't you have a (half) sheet pan? You don't really need one with all those cast iron pans, but you could have roasted all those tomatoes and the broccoli while cooking all the salmon at once, and it would have turned out much nicer while saving you half the time. I don't endorse meal prepping, but if you're going to cook in bulk because of RTO or whatever stupid bullshit at least make good decisions and learn how to optimize what you're working with before talking about upgrading everything.

>>19780057
Wait to buy anything expensive until your skill level has reached the point where it is warranted or you are going to use it frequently enough. The KitchenAid mixer is the only thing I use infrequently, but that's because I don't make bread/pasta that often (I have the pasta cutter and extruder attachments). I have a Vitamix Ascent as well. It was worth the 700 bucks because I use that shit all the time. Go to HomeGoods or TjMaxx. They have all kinds of shit for 1/3 of the price of regular stores. Or, wait until All-Clad has a factory seconds sale.

>>19780076
I am definitely not digging all the shit out of this drawer. Needless to say, I have every kitchen device you can imagine except gimmick one use bullshit like a garlic press. My spice arsenal is the same. I have legitimately every fucking spice you can imagine (Penzey's for the most part). That is far and away most of the important kitchen 'investments' you can make because once you have the requisite skills, you can literally make anything if you have the correct spices.

>>19779926
>admitting to being an presumably obese retard with poor appetite control and soft hands

>>19780082
>wait until All-Clad has a factory seconds sale
I feel like they have factory seconds sale more often than they don't. It's just that nobody knows about it because it's not advertised anywhere.

>>19779428
Why the fuck do you have so many pans? That'd drive me mad getting them in and out of the cupboards. With cast iron you're just gonna end up not using one for ages and then scrubbing rust off it. The quote is 'keep nothing in your house that is neither needed or beautiful' so maybe give some of them away.
I've got like a cast iron pan and a big carbon steel wok with a lid that is 90% of my proper cooking. I've also got an anodized alumium frying pan and smaller wok of the same material, it's apparently not as nonstick as teflon but I honestly can't say I've noticed any difference, and it's good for lazy or quick cooking where I just need something heated and then can wash up with a paper towel if I needed to.
After that I've got a dutch oven, a stock pot, a stainless saucepan and a rice cooker. The fuck else would I need?

>>19779794
>Fireball whiskey

Try again in 25 years, sport. You're only embarrassing yourself.

>>19780076
>Half of those aren't even spatulas
I know they aren't they're just what I have minus my knives which are so unimpressive they aren't even worth picturing
>Seriously though, do you have an oven?
I do but I preferred cooking my meal this way as I literally just dumped the broccoli that was steaming with my quinoa into the leftover salmon infused butter with a dash of salt and pepper and then cooked the tomatoes in the same salmon butter runoff that I collected from the plate I let my salmon rest on. The whole meal itself took maybe 2-2.5 hours tops? I'm not sure how much time I would have saved baking anything, let alone not being able to precisely control my ingredients/flavors
>>19780082
Agreed that's why I'm just now upgrading to basic cookwear and starting with cheap stuff; I would think a cast iron pan is basically a necessity especially since I intend to adequately cook steaks
>>19780090
Is there anything inherently wrong with the factory second stuff? It's just metal, right?

>>19780127
sure thing gay boy

>>19780090
Slickdeals.net, fren. There will 100% be a sale on Black Friday or leading up to Christmas. Same with knives. I got the Shun's from Williams Sonoma BF bullshit. I got the 8" Classic for like 80 bucks, and the nakiri Premier for about the same. I got the matching sharpening steel, but I have no clue what the fuck I paid for that (not full price). The paring knife was free.

>>19779976
food prep for stuff like this is absolute mental illness. you're gonna be eating literal shit on day 3 and beyond. some queers even go beyond that and do 7-10 meals at once.

the only thing you can "food prep" is shit like bolognese, beef bourguignon or hungarian goulash and you'll still need boil some pasta/potatoes

>>19779428
I was once given the advice about tools that you should just buy the cheap version of what you need for particular jobs, and then if you use something enough that it breaks, you can replace it with a nice expensive version. I think thats also good advice for kitchenware

>>19780137
Focus on getting a few good ones. These 4 will cover almost ever scenario you can imagine. The only reason I have anything non-stick is because I don't have a microwave, and I use them to reheat leftovers. The ceramic pan is literally only for eggs. Get these 4 pots/pans. Also, there is nothing wrong with factory seconds (especially All-Clad). You do, however, want to make sure it's at least MC2 because they make all the MC2/d3/d5 pans in America. All the non-stick and utensils made by AC are Chang manufactured. Same thing with Cuisinart and Tramontina. They are cheaper than AC, but you definitely want to make sure that they are made in France or Brazil respectively. Cuisinart only makes 3-ply+ pans in France. Not that they won't work, but I don't believe in giving money to Chinks if I don't have to, and would rather support Americans/French (or favela monkeys) made products.

>>19780132
>the whole meal itself took maybe 2-2.5 hours tops
>not sure how much time I would have saved
Anon...please tell me you bought a whole salmon and fileted it yourself, picked all those tomatoes in your backyard, and cut those broccoli florets off of whole heads while munching on the stem bits. T-that's all included in those 2-2.5 hours, r-right??

>>19780101
idk man some days I come home and crave a cinnamon flavored shot
>>19780150
You'd be surprised I haven't prepped anything yet that didn't taste nearly as good as it was fresh although the experience isn't as nice microwaved. All preps are eaten within a week and I only make a weeks worth at a time to keep a variety between my meals. It's convenient since I work everyday and always have a decent meal for lunch this way. I can't fathom prepping and eating the same meal for two weeks or even a whole month straight like some animals do
>>19780155
This is very good advice and just like tools, advice I don't follow lol
Although I have been more conservative in recent months but aye I do see how it applies to kitchenwear too
>>19780165

this is basically my shitty Walmart set just upgraded so I'll work on slowly upgrading those as they wear down as well as my knives

>>19780215
Victorinox for the knives. They are cheaper AND good. I can get that decade old shitbox V chef knife to a fucking razor blade if I properly sharpen it.

>>19780184
>what did you think
>prep work was half the battle
I think you bought a couple pints of cherry tomatoes, a couple bags of broccoli florets, and MAYBE portioned a salmon filet or two based on how poorly those are cut - but they're also so uniform in width it's very unlikely they all came form the same fish. Other than that, what prep work even was there? Whatever little whiskey "glaze" you made could have been easily thrown together before you even turned the salmon. Even if you include the time it takes to pre-heat the oven, roasting the vegetables and making the salmon (and quinoa?) Should have taken under an hour even if you were taking your time and having a drink, but why even meal prep at that point?

>>19780225
I think you have severe brain damage but okay anon, go off

>>19780225
Maybe he's shitty at prep. Most of the 'time' you spend cooking is chopping shit. I can slice and dice like a motherfucker, so cooking for myself for every meal isn't a chore. I diced all this shit and seasoned the meat in like 15 mins

>>19780237
Prove me wrong. And does your mom know you spent that extra spending money she gave you when you moved out on the cringiest liquor collection ever posted on the internet, which your are storing 3 inches away from an electric element you spend 2+ hours at a time using?
>>19780248
I'm well aware some people are faster than others. My point is more about efficiency; working smarter, not harder. I know thinking through all the steps of a meal can be just as difficult for someone like OP as doing basic prep work, but he's asking about having an "ideal" kitchen setup, and my point all along has been that he needs to learn how to use different tools before even thinking about upgrading anything, and it just doesn't seem like he worked efficiently or made good decisions regarding the tools he already has.

tl;dr - yes, I was taking a cheap dig at him for being slow, but it was more about his choices rather than his skills. Do you actually believe OP cut that salmon and broccoli himself?

>>19780248
I mean, I'm not a professional chef with shitty knives and no cutting skills
That being said most of the prep was cutting the broccoli crowns; there was also another good 20-30 minutes spent measuring out all my cooked food to ensure each prep had exact portions. Actual cook time... idk 45 minutes?
>>19780261
you are obsessed lmao

>>19780266
>another good 20-30 minutes spent measuring out all my cooked food to ensure each prep had exact portions
>you are obsessed lmao
>20-30 minutes
>measuring out 5 tupperwares of (pre-portioned) salmon and vegetables
I'm not obsessed with anything, anon. I'm dumbfounded. How could weighing that out possibly take you that long? Were you using loose sand as a counter-weight, and then re-counting each individual grain every time you added another tomato??

>>19780261
Buddy, most people aren't to the level where they can leave anything on the stove unattended, let alone a fish, to make something else while it's cooking. I will say that I don't cook shit until all the dishes are done, my workspace is cleaned, and I have everything I need for whatever I am making out and ready. I have a metric shit ton of mixing bowls and storage containers that I use for staged prep and veggie refuse. Maybe he cut the filets from a half a full filet of salmon, but no...this is literally 30 seconds of work. When everything you need is out, the glaze is maybe another minute of combining shit into a pan to reduce. I personally wouldn't have even started the salmon in the pan until the glaze was ready.
>>19780266
Bro, no one cares. At least I don't. You can take 4 fucking hours to make salmon if you want, just as long as you haven't invited me over for dinner with the promise of immediate salmon

>>19780276
I had your mom splayed out over my kitchen counter and was raw dogging her in between each phase measuring out the meals. It was tough for me to focus on the weights cause she's pretty fat and ugly and you already know that since it's apparent the apple didn't fall far from the tree
>>19780284
I know, and I equally don't give a fuck; which is why this dude having a literal autistic meltdown is hilarious

>>19780297
Bro, ditch those non-stick shitbox pans.

>>19780314
that's literally why I posted this thread but alright
Also I'm keeping the 15"er sorry, my mom gave me that one

This is the closest thing to either a cast iron general or questions that don't deserve their own thread general, so I'm asking here: is it worth the effort to use cast iron on a gas grill as opposed to just using the stove/oven?

>>19780322
Heat is heat, homie.

>>19780322
I'm not the expert but maybe it's an according to what you're cooking type of deal?
Potatoes/meat? Grill
Cornbread? Oven

>>19780284
>most people aren't to the level where they can leave anything on the stove unattended
Yeah, I know...That's what I meant when I mentioned people like OP (beginner home cooks) not being able to think through the entire process before they begin. And cooking multiple things at once does have more to do with skill rather than planning.
>maybe he cut the filets from a half a full filet of salmon
When I said "a pound and a half of salmon" earlier I was guessing those were 5-6 ounce pieces, but I noticed looking back that some of the containers have multiple pieces. Do you actually believe he used that tiny bamboo cutting board to cut up all that broccoli, washed it, and then portioned out three half-filets of salmon? He's just now running water over his dirty dishes and that cutting board looks unused.
>>19780297
Kek. My mom is in her 70's and weighs 99 pounds soaking wet - not that you'd know anything about that.
>>19780322
It depends on what you're cooking, how good your stove is, and how convenient it is to get to your grill. You're not going to get any of the benefits of grilling, so it's really just a matter of what's easier. The grill heats up fast and closing the lid effectively turns it into an oven, but if you have to carry all your shit around your entire house to the backyard it might just be easier to do everything in the kitchen if you're already firing up the grill for something else.

>>19780364
*if you aren't already firing up the grill

>>19780364
I would say 50/50 skill and planning. But then again, the ability to plan ahead definitely falls under skills.
To add, I hate a tiny cutting board. That's why I have this gigantic motherfucker. I can chop and partition an entire meal on this bitch. Best 75 bucks I've ever spent.

>>19780317
Your mom wouldn't want you eating bits of Teflon, anon. Nor would she want you to deal with uneven heating in a shitty pan. Frame that shit when you get a better pan or something. Are you the salmon nigger?

>>19780364

>>19780392
if it works it works

>>19779428
a full set of steel cookware (pots, pans, everything), a wok, and one nonstick frying pan. two cookie sheets, two cooling racks, and a set of springform pans. 3 steel mixing bowls and 3 strainers, sm to lg. a nonstick roasting pan, a ceramic baking dish (4 qt), a square glass pan. a very large stock pot that can fit two chickens no problem and a fuck ton of water.

>>19780383
>50/50 skill and planning
It definitely involves planning, but my point (and concession) was that even if OP spent the entire week planning out his meal prep (lol), he wouldn't be able to cook a few pieces of salmon while making a pan sauce if he didn't have the experience/confidence in what he was doing. I could do that sleepwalking because I have the experience, but yes, I do remember everything being new and panicking and watching everything like a hawk while doing each individual step at a time and overthinking everything and fucking with everything too much while it was cooking. I also think you have a good couple cutting boards for home use. I'd love to get a really nice, buy-it-for-life Boos type board, but I just can't deal with things that are too big to conveniently wash in the sink.
>>19780397
>gets called out for his shitty liquor collection

And what's with newfriends these days getting offended by people replying to and engaging with their threads? That's supposed to be a good thing. You could probably learn a lot if you weren't so sensitive about people calling you a fag.

>>19780422
hmm?
I'm not offended nor do I think people are calling me a fag nor am I getting offended at thinking people are calling me a fag
I just like dunking on self-obsessed retards that walk into threads like this think talking down to people in order to give advice/build themselves up makes them look righteous and/or inteligent
I'm at the point where I give one or two word shitpost replies and the dude types paragraphs about me analyzing my literal shitposts
That's equally hilarious as it is pathetic

>walk into threads like this think talking down to people in order to give advice/build themselves up makes them look righteous and/or inteligent
There's only 14 anons in this thread, anon. For all you know I've been shitting on you in one post while defending you in the next, and arguing with myself in between. You're the only one who cares about how you look because this is your thread and you've made a point of identifying yourself as OP in every one of your posts. So no, the only one here who cares about how they look is (you).

>>19780452

Thank you, this is what I was looking for.

>>19780465
Your mom only called me that because I wasn't able to get it up for her.

>>19780422
Personally I would never start anything that needs glazed without having the glaze prepped beforehand, especially fish. Ironically I got most of the procedural aspect of cooking from watching cooking shows.
This is not a Boos cutting board. It's some Boos-like brand that I bought at HomeGoods for 75 bucks. It's fucking gigantic (3'*2'). You're right, it needs to fit in a sink though. Pic related is the biggest fucking sink made. My stupid wife bought it on clearance for 50 bucks, and we ended up building our entire kitchen around this stupid fucking sink.
>>19780402
No. Get a regular stainless pan, anon. Non-stick is for niggers that don't understand heat control and/or don't know what "deglaze" means.

>>19780452
meanwhile I'm halfway through my second legs and abs workout this week and this autist is seething that my 9oz of salmon wasn't cut perfectly
none of you can bench 285 let alone 225
touch grass nerds

>>19780473
Oh, I know it's not a Boos. I was saying it was nice because it wasn't as gigantic (or just thick/heavy, despite still having a good amount of surface area). I dream of having a sink like that one day. Even if it's not quite that big, having a full overhead sprayer makes such a big difference compared to a fixed faucet. I actually have something like half a dozen cutting boards because I only like using the biggest one necessary so I don't have to fuck around trying to wash things I can only fit a corner of in the sink at a time.

>>19780473
That's what the purpose of the thread was anon
I'm trying to figure out which stainless pots/pans are necessary and at what size since I already have cast iron covered. Ideally I would get to the day where I have no "non-stick" pans in house but that day is not today. I'm using what I have available on hand until I either get better or something breaks on me

>>19780481
I honestly have no clue what I can bench. It seems like a pretty silly thing to brag about; kind of like comparing how many mg of amoxicillin it takes you to treat a UTI. If the thing you do gets you the results you want, who cares? You've lost the plot.

>>19780486
>Not as gigantic or thick/heavy
It weighs like 25lbs and is literally 3 feet wide, 2 feet deep, and 3 inches thick. And trust me, you don't dream of fuck huge sink...you dream of a dishwasher

>>19780494
Anon, if you are not a poorfag drive your ass to HomeGoods and get a new fucking pan. You could probably cover the big 4 for less than 150 bucks.

>>19780503
>you've lost the plot
no man you clearly have; the exact same thing can be said over seething about how long it takes someone to cook food or how they cut a piece of meat. Some people are terminal redditors with nothing but 4chan in their lives and it shows

>>19780184
>although the experience isn't as nice microwaved
you just admitted it yourself, it's never as good. preparing veggies and fish 5 days in advance is a bad idea no matter what and eating the same stuff for a week isn't just boring, it's insane.
stews are about the only thing that doesn't go bad or starts to taste like ass in 5 days. I know from experience but I'm not even sure if it works if you don't keep it 'vacuumed' in glass containers in the fridge like I do. there's always that plop sound when you open it because air can't get inside. I don't think that's the case with your glass containers

>>19780494
Somebody should make one of those IQ charts with the retard and the genius on either end both saying they love their non-stick, while the average mid-wit in the middle is saying they want to get rid of all non-stick and never use it again.
>>19780512
>you dream of a dishwasher
Pourquoi pas les deux?

>>19780519
bro you'll never guess what they invented in 1857...

>>19780521
I will love non-stick pans because I see what my little brother and sister have done to my mom's expensive cookwear and I swear they will never touch a single one of my "good" pans in my own house

I would stab one of these dogs for a dishwasher like that. None of these cooking show faggots ever have to wash their own dishes.
>Just make all this shit, bro...it's easy
Until you have to wash the fucking dishes after

Was it the zipper? I bet it was the zipper.

no bro, it was sound recording...

>>19780531
How do you fuck up what is essentially a block of stainless steel? Unless you burn sugar or some other asshole thing in it, it's literally impossible to fuck a stainless steel pan to where it can't be unfucked with dish soap and/or Bar Keepers' Friend

Anon...we don't talk about violence towards dogs on /ck/, even jokingly.

>>19780546
She gonna eat that dog?

>>19780554
Probably not, seeing as how he died 7 years ago. Apparently both Francis and moot knew something the rest of us didn't.

>>19780557
I still find it curious that moot jumped ship just a few months after he started posting on /ck/.

>>19780557
Unfortunately these faggots are still alive, and apparently taking up the entire bed. Waffles has made herself awful fucking comfy

>>19780566
You owe waffles your life. The only reason you wake up every morning with your throat still intact is because she makes the decision - every day - to be a good girl. Never forget that.

>>19780566
Fart in her face

>>19780576
Buddy, that Waffles has exactly zero killer instinct. She one knows "retrieve". Unless you're a mole, then God help you. The only thing Stan (black one) knows is pets and pussy. One day next year, he will have some Waffle puss. He's already English Lab/American Lab/Golden Mix (I had his grandfather, father and mother), so if I could get a dog that looks like Stan and is the size of Waffles, it would be the pinnacle of Labrador technology. Waffles (the Golden) is fully grown and only 35 lbs.

She likes that stinky shit, anon. I have to hide my weed because she will find it and eat it. I thought she had ataxia when she was a puppy until I found out she ate a quarter of high test and was just high as fuck

>>19780604
I know goldens. Waffles has plenty of "killer instinct". It's just outweighed by her desire to be a good girl. Just look at that face. It's pure evil. She knows exactly what she's capable of, but you could go the rest of her life without so much as giving her a butt scratch and she would never so much as pierce your skin no matter what body part you shove in her mouth. But she knows she has it in her. Stan, on the other hand, is basically a downie running on pure instinct without the slightest idea he's even a dog.

>>19780626
Anon, she literally barks at shit only to get Stan's attention. As soon as she does, she immediately runs inside to safety. Stan, on the other hand, absolutely terrified people. He gets out on a semi-regular basis thanks to Waffles. I can't leave the house with the windows open or the front door unlocked because Waffles knows how to open the doors (deadbolt included) so he can just escape. There is many a day I have come home and the front door is wide open, Stan is in the yard, and Waffles is behind the gate blocking the porch. She got loose once when she was 6 months old, and she did not do well. Stan left her to fend for herself, and she ended up spending night in the woods 5 houses down during a thunderstorm. Now, you can open the front door and she won't run away because she was traumatized by her night in the woods. Her AKC name is "Big Waffles, Amateur Suburban Waffle" after the Big Ounce Chihuahua meme.

>What are the ideal kitchen loadout/stock?

A pot
A pan
A whisk
A spatula
A pair of tongs
A wooden spoon
A chinese cleaver
A grater
Everything beyond this is superfluous, but hey you can't spell that without super.

But a whetstone dual side grit learning to sharpen a knife is better than buying a new shitty knife. Whetstones don't cost much more than $20-30

>>19779428
> stainless stock pots
Used for stocks, soups, broths, chili, bolognese, steaming, and can even be used for roasting.

>skillet
Get a decent sized skillet, and that can be used for pretty much most of your cooking needs.

>pyrex baking dish
Lasagna, casseroles, vegies, roasting proteins

>cookie trays
Grab a couple for baking purposes, like cookies, biscuits, crouissant, bread, etc...

>good sized wood cutting board
Small cutting boards suck, and plastic board means you're eating plastic

>decent set of knives and a good sharpener
Chefs, boning, bread, paring. They don't need to be expensive

>ceramic coated dutch oven
You can use those fuckers for pretty much anything.

Holy fuck bla bla bla. Way too many pans op. Dutch ovens are nice but not if you already have way too many pots as well. I un ironically like having a metal bench scraper at hand. High bang for buck there imo. Also make sure you keep a rag next to the cutting board.

>>19780919
Is wok really that good if you already have a dutch oven and a fairly weak stove? I dreamed i was cooking with a wok yesterday but it seems unnecessary.

>>19781305
woks are great and versatile but they are suppose to be used with high heat, it's not going to be that good with a weak stove but it depends on the type of food you cook

The only other pans in my house are some walmart tier nonstick pans that my roommate bought years ago. I've been looking for an excuse to upgrade to a nicer set of all-clads or something but I'm still not sure my roommates won't manage to destroy them somehow.

>>19779428
>12 inch cast iron pan
>Big soup pot with top
>Regular size pot with steamer attachment and top
>Cheap smaller pan for sauteing onions and garlic
Let me guess you need more? Maybe get a big cheap non stick pan or wok for meal prep? Maybe?
