/ck/ - Food & Cooking

add salt to your water to get it to boil faster

>>7245892
Just heat the water in a water cooker.

CHOPPING

to test if oil is ready for frying, toss a couple icecubes in

Some people think knives go duller than they do. Well, they don't.

We badly need a sticky, but even more so we need mods. /ck/, which I have loved, has gone really, really downhill.

add a lemon slice to your drink for a gourmet touch

>>7245940
It's a sticky tip. Some life advice from a kind anon.

>>7245947
Literally every regular on every board says the same thing. 4chan is and always was an awful place for awful people.

>>7245915
I just tried this and now my wall is on fire.

>>7245958
A true kitchen-eer doesn't have walls. Their elements are islands in a sea of 50Wood/50Linoleum (for safety) to prevent wall fires.

>>7245947
a sticky would just encourage more newfags to come here. just report the garbage and don't reply to it.

>>7245884
If you don't know how to cook you sholdn't be allowed to post here.

No

>>7245971
How do you define "knowing how to cook" though? Anyway, I don't have a problem with people who don't cook coming here, as long as they don't lower the level of discussion by going on about fast food all the time.

The board is for FOOD and cooking, so I guess fast food is on topic, but it does annoy me when people post about complete shit on here.

>knowing to cook
Understanding that it takes heat to take raw ingredients and make them not raw
right?

>>7246116
If you can prepare a meal people other than just your mom really enjoy then you "know how to cook".

>>7245957
/ck/ IS more crowded

I liked when it was slower and most of the people had been on /ck/ for a while.

I guess its not a terrible idea, it'd reduce the newfag shitthreads I suppose. I personally would be more for banning fast food threads.

fuck off we dont need a sticky

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

The /ck/ sticky needs two links:

What if the people enjoying it have shit taste, for instance a /ck/ fast food poster?

A sticky is more or less impossible because unlike in /fit/, there is basically no consensus on anything in /ck/. Consider the slapfight that inevitably occurs in every thread about chili, pasta carbonara or steak. The real problem is that while /fit/ for example is filled with individuals who are generally at least sort of knowledgeable about fitness and bodybuilding, most people on /ck/ are a lot more interested in eating than cooking. The vast majority of us are pretty shitty cooks. This would need to change for there ever to be something like a "/ck/ guide to cooking", in the fashion of the various guides on /fit/ or /g/ for example.

If they made a sticky today it would probably just contain your typical pleb infographics like the "how to make less shitty ramen by adding spices and an egg" guide and that infamous fucking stick figure chili recipe, which really only serves to lead people away from good cooking technique.

>most people on /ck/ are a lot more interested in eating than cooking.
Shame, I came here under the impression that it was full of amateur chefs.

>that infamous fucking stick figure chili recipe, which really only serves to lead people away from good cooking technique.
Could you please post it, for science?

>>7246538
>infamous fucking stick figure chili recipe
I hate that fucking thing. I see it posted constantly on normie websites too, idiots eat that shit up and act like their chili experts after reading it even though it's full of bad advice.

>>7245957
/ck/ hasn't always been full of shitposts. And being awful is not the same as being full of shit.

>>7246568
>their
they're*

And chili ain't gourmet. If you can eat it, it's as good as it's going to get. It's peasant food

>>7245884

Let's just post Stick Stickly instead.

Done, done and done.

Here it is. It's called the 2AM chili and like most foul things in this world it comes from reddit. Practically every single cooking step has something wrong with it.

>no actual fucking chili, just dried spices
>corn and bell pepper in chili
>dissing the premade spice packet, then essentially reconstructing said packet from other McCormick spices
>pointlessly mixing the dry spices together in a container
>beef browning not shown, likely due to him obviously overcrowding the pan with that big slab of mince and ending up with gray steamed beef rather than anything approaching browned
>almost all of the ingredients coming from cans, even pre-made tomato sauce

>replacing said fat with FUCKING COCONUT OIL HOLY SHIT I AM GETTING MORE MAD HERE THAN I EXPECTED
>shit taste in vidya
>pouring crackers into the chili so they get soggy by the time he's 1/3 done with his bowl
>in fact, eating chili with crackers in the first place
>bonus bullshit in the recipe: no specific amounts listed, just calling for "one large can and one normal can" of tomato sauce, why different sized cans for fucks sake?

RE: Spice packet

He may have used a different ratio of spices, so its not as ridiculous as everything else


>That watch face on the inside of his wrist

>>7246577
Look at him. Look at him and laugh.

>>7246603
Other than the
>SO LE MANLY XDDDD
bullshit, this recipe isn't horrible.

As for the spice packet, a bit silly but generally I prefer doing things from scratch over using ready made mixes.

Using coconot oil to sauté is weird too. Isn't olive oil generally better for that?
