/ck/ - Food & Cooking

I came here a couple days ago looking for a slow, fun board and that's all I've been thinking. Stinky NEETs eating absolute garbage. Why even post here? Thought there would at least be some otaku faggots cooking authentic ramen in kimonos.

>>9533946
>Challenges /ck/ to show their best
>With a stock photo
Delete this thread OP, and don't start another until you think about what you have done.

I don't feel the need to document it because it's nothing to be proud of. Any uneducated peasant can do it.

Essential /ck/ threads:
>/alc/
>/sip/
>ja/ck/
>meme food ('cha, 'za, guac) b8 threads
>wifey threads
>fast food threads
>mcchicken™ threads
If you can't handle this you need to go elsewhere

>>9533959
We literally have one every week shut up and lurk more and you/ll eventually get bored of those ramen threads

>>9533946
We have home cooked food threads all the time, but they're usually drown out by the faggots posting their fast food before they even reach a hundred posts. Don't blame us.

Fuck off. I posted an OC a few days ago where I made weevil risotto (pic related) and that thread got @ 70 posts.

>>9533946
I lurk for the occasional baking thread. Still perfecting my homemade pizza after 10 years. It is very close, I'm going for that NY/NJ style thin crust and I am by far my own worst critic. I'll have to take some pictures. Pizza pushed me into bread making. I make an amazing white truffle and herb focaccia bread and I bring at least a dozen loaves of bread for every family holiday. I did it once and now its always expected of me.

I'll share with you all some tips:
Pizza needs to be made on steel, 1/2" thick, at 550, under a broiler. Its not right if it doesn't cook in 4 minutes or less. If the cheese burns keep it really cold until you are ready to put the pizza in the oven. Ignore this for deepdish or really hot brick oven style pizzas. Don't cook the sauce first or it gets way too sweet. Keep it simple, its not pasta.

Pro bread bakers have amazing steam ovens to control humidity. Its hard to make proper humidity at home. High hydration loaves come out great if you cook them in a dutch oven with the lid on for half the time. Otherwise get 40 pounds of stones and steel chain and keep them in a sheet pan in the oven. Preheat to 550 for an hour. Boil a cup and a half of water. Put the bread in the oven and immediately pour the boiling water on the hot stones/chain. Steam in the start is hugely important for nice big holes in the bread and a good crust.

Yes, I can cook pretty well, I'm regularly told I should open a restaurant. I only came here for the first time yesterday. I think I'll starting posting stuff.

>>9533946
Yes. I can, and have as a career, but I've been wrestling crippling depression for the past couple years and so now I don't give a fuck anymore and browse this place. When I can muster up enough energy to cook a nice meal for my family, they heap praise on me like madmen, thinking it will somehow help my depression.

>>9534054
oh god I didn't need to be reminded of that

Last thing I made was a type of Tom Yum inspired wrap. Smoked haddock fried skinside down in a delicate chilli marinade, taken off stove and left skin side up to crispen. King prawns cooked in lemon grass paste, touch of tom yum paste, sliced garlic, olive oil and shaoxine wine, with some pickled ginger thrown on just before taking it off heat. Get seeded tortilla, thin layer of olive oil mayo, put on selected salad leaves, pickled jalapeno, squeezed lime juice over it, placed over the fish with juices, light sprinkle of coriander and slices of green onion.

Fresh, yummy and healthy! ^.^

When you can actually cook you don't feel the need to take pictures and post about it online.

>>9533946
For me, it's the McChicken. The best fast food sandwich.

Wow. Sliced tomatoes and boiled eggs as your image, you thick sot

I cook for millionaires every day

>>9534436

I make my own bread from scratch (well I buy the yeast) because I can't get proper whole grain bread in the store. It is surprisingly easy once you have figured the baking times out. Does that count?

>>9534439
>I cook for millionaires every day
It's nice to help out your local supermarkets, isn't it?

I made yakisoba for myself and some friends.

>>9533946
It used to be like that but now anytime you make any thread of your food the only responses are "Looks like shit OP, I could do better at mcdonalds, speaking of which, time to make another fast food thread"

fuck im making this exactly in the morning.

thank you for reminding me

I cook almost every day. My specialty is offal. I don't know what it is but I just love the offcuts, they taste much better than just your average piece of meat. This weekend I made lengua tacos.

Here's a couple pics of me making headcheese.

>>9534599
Final product...

>>9534591
That yolk my nigger, A+

>>9534604

Looks pretty offal, dude.

>>9533981
None of these existed until a year or two ago. I miss when /ck/ was slower and less filled with retarded /sp/ tier memes.

>>9534615
Tastes like delicious delicious swine.

Here's a pic of the brains I fried up...

>>9534599
taco lenguas is the best taco. once I had that I couldn't go back to anything else.

>>9534621
>>9534630
You guys can fuck eachother...

>>9534634
But Anon, I don't want him to fuck me, I want you to fuck me.

And then let me feast on ur headcheese.

I have a job and I can cook, so it's not like I'd be mooching..

>>9533946
This nigga has never seen a dinotendies thread.

I don't take many pictures nor am I an expert but heres some stuff that isn't wendys or mcdonalds

>>9533946
Bolognese sauce.
Tagliatelle and lasagna al bolognese.
All made from scratch.

I do the occasional cookalong thread, but /ck/ doesn't give a fuck about cooking and they go largely ignored, so why waste the time?

Collards and cornbread.

Wala faggot

>>9533981
>Essential newfag /ck/ threads:
Fixed that for you. And no, anon. There's no need to thank me.

>>9533959
You should have just stayed in /pol/ or /b/ where you belong, reddo

>>9534693
Nice! From the thumbnail, reminded me of a softboiled egg I pickled in a balsamic/soy mix, then made into a Scotch egg.

>>9534697
Still looks good baby! Question for fellow britbongistanis here, how the fuck does one get hold of provolone, and why is it so easy for the yanks?

>>9534234
Here's where those little bastards started swelling up and discoloring my risotto, but I have to say it ended up tasting good.

>>9534734
Thank you

>>9534541
Hey, that looks great, anon

>>9534754
>Question for fellow britbongistanis here, how the fuck does one get hold of provolone, and why is it so easy for the yanks?

Is it that hard to get a hold of in bongland? I made that provolone steak and I'm in Canada. Theres like 5 different types in the grocery store near me. Comes in slices and whole.

Did you try looking in foreign cheese sections or deli if you have one nearby Because here it's not with the cheddar's and mozzarella's in most stores, it's with the bacon and pepperoni etc.

Could also just be a regional preference, what the fuck do I know?

>>9534546
That's a cheese ghostie.

I made gumbo from scratch the other day.

>>9534789
Looks good anon

>>9534780
>not getting the picante provolone from Boars Head

>>9534799
>not getting saputo cheese, the best provolone

We have cooking threads every day. The problem is that they're usually drowned out by generals, fast food convos, and people making low-effort bait threads and or otherwise trying to derail productive conversations into /pol/-tier slapfights about things completely unrelated to cooking. But the cooking conversations here can be great if they manage to stay on topic.

>>9534754
>Pic related
>How we get provolone

>>9534780
I really don't understand it, cos it's Italian Heck, easy to get unorthodox cheeses from France, Italy, New Zealand, I've had Canadian cheddar a few times, Mexico, India. For some reason provolone is just not found around here. I keep hearing is used in Canada and US though, so I wanna try it.
Brexit conspiracy I swear dude.

>>9534792
It was. I ate half the shrimp that were supposed to go in while i was peeling them and throwing the heads in the stock pot. Fresh same day caught gulf shrimp are just too delicious.

>>9534828
>Fresh same day caught gulf shrimp are just too delicious.

Fuck I envy you.

I love visiting my family in florida for this exact reason.

>>9534812
Eyyy

>>9534827
It's just mozzarella with a bit of a sourish taste and slightly salitier.

It is based on burgers and sandwiches though.

>>9534836
16/20 @ 3.59/lb. It's nice living on the gulf coast except for the hurricanes and mosquitos.

This is why /ck/ is pure cancer.

All of those reddit-tier meme suck.

Lamb shank braised in pimmegranet juice with duck fat potatoes from last night

>>9534578

>>9534447
Brother?

>>9534875
Whats the alternative then?

>>9534893
They really, really were. Made them for my GF with a few fresh margaritas and an array of homemade salsas.They took all day to make and it was almost surreal how quickly they went when I finally served them up, but god damn was it worth it.

It's not amazing but I made some pretty tasty breakfast tacos last week. Leftover grilled chicken thighs from the night before, sliced sauteed red jalapenos, a piece of kale sliced up, and a couple eggs. Got just the right amount of color on the tortillas which was one of the best parts c:

>>9533965
A stock photo with no cooked food nonetheless.

>>9534129
Nice comfy post bro. Makes me wanna put that Le Cruezet Dutch oven to work. A neighbor left it on the "free stuff" lobby bookcase when they moved out years ago. I love it but never baked in it

>>9533946
Last weekend I made pic related. I think this was one of by best meals when factoring in presentation.

>>9534618
This, I wish /r9k/ or whatever the new crossboarders we have would fuck off and people like heartsonfire and progun would come back, that we'd go back to having homebrewman and homegrowman threads. I miss the regular cooking threads, the threads bitching about picky eaters and vegans, even people like angie. The style of shitposting and trolling we have now is so low effort and obnoxious, everything feels as cheap and prepackaged as the food that gets posted. The copypastas we used to have were better, being called co/ck/s instead of cu/ck/s was better. I've pretty much stopped coming to this board altogether.

>>9535207

seriously amateur but been cooking more and more since moving to my own apt. Chicken with mushrooms, spinach, grated parm, cream, garlic,

Use Molino Antimo Caputo 00 flour from Italy. I use your techniques but the Italian flour is what creates perfection in a crust. Amazon sells it. San Marzano crushed tomatoes to make the sauce.

>>9533981
So less than 10 threads out of 150?

why don't you visit /int/ and their 50 generals before you complain again

>>9534129
This is my home made cast iron nyc pizza

>>9535916

>>9535920
Not bad at all. How did you get the crust to get so crispy on the bottom?

Every time I try pizza in cast iron, the crust on the bottom comes out really anemic and floppy.

>>9535920

>>9535922
I cook it on the stovetop in the oiled cast iorn, then brush with olive oil and sprinkle salt and pepper until it starts to bubble, then I load up the sauce and toppings, into max temp your oven goes.

>>9535922
Also you could just cook it on the stove top after baking too if it's still not crispy enough.

>>9533981
I thought there was a older than 18 rule here.

i put sardines on toast for breakfast

>>9534966
nice. gotta love the tasty simplicity of those sorts of tacos

>>9533946
I'll post some shit later, but one thing I have on me is a super simple fucking veggie bowl. Tastes delicious with just three ingredients and nothing added.

I am not claiming to be a good cook, I just know how to not die.

>>9536109
Which ingredients?

>>9534531
Freaking Australians and their pics

>>9536113
Carrots, bean sprouts, and kale. Bonus points for supporting healthy and efficient digestion.

>>9536118
Any seasoning?

>>9536123
I sometimes never use them. Natural flavours are good enough.

When I do add some though, it's usually pepper flakes, garlic, ginger, and/or some form of citrus juice.

>>9536118
>>9536144
Swapped out kale with spinach. That's another variety. Good for if you don't care about looks. Tastes delicious.

>>9534447
Do you live in Canada?
That looks like a PC pan.

I made a ham.

>>9533946

Throw some 'megachef' teak smoked oyster sauce in the eggs and you have a pretty good breakfast.

I actually cook pretty well and I like this board, but OP has a point. It's mostly for people LARPing as cooks, shit-tier trolls, pseudo tripfags and fuckwits trying to force memes.

Well, this board used to be filled with people passionate about cooking... then the flyovers came over, then they brought their cousins, then they had sex with their cousins... now their children from /pol/ post here about fast food and meth labs.

>that feel when you can only cook eggs, soups, chilis, and stews because they are almost impossible to fuck up

>>9534693
Aw fuck yeah I need to get some more HP sauce

Sure I can cook though I honestly don't do anything fancy for food. Mostly simple meat/chicken/fish, throw some spices on top and serve with potatoes/rice/pasta.

I like to put more effort into baking since I can create some very tasty cakes/pies pretty easily and they're way cheaper than shop bought items. I mean it's just some eggs/flour/sugar/butter and a bit of time and effort..

>>9537515

>>9537524

>>9533946
For me™

made some bulgogi with some of the ends of a tenderloin the other day. it turned out really good, I should've garnished with some scallion and sesame to make it look better though

>>9534618
This^2. I always liked the threads about work in the kitchen. People knew their shit and I felt like I could learn from everyone. Anyone posting a dumb meme or "checked" or other crap immediately got shit for it. Now I look around and I don't see much difference with /b/, /r9k/, /pol/ or any of those other garbage boards. It's just a bit more food oriented. And I'm sure I know more about cooking than two thirds of the people in here, and that says more about them than me.
At least it was better during the elections, because all the trash was busy on /pol/, but now it's worse than before. /g/ is a better board than this now while I remember coming here when I got tired of their shit.

We need to start posting more. /ck/ used to be great and full of content, but some of the best posters are gone and the new threads put off anyone new who would have liked those. If all of us start posting and making threads like it was back then we can help change the board. It'll never go back to its glory days, but we can get some better threads going. I remember heartsonfire posting on /q/ once talking about how we all needed to change to keep /ck/ on topic and full of content, she was completely right.

>We need to start posting more.
/ck/ is a shill board for paying fast food and junk food advertisers, that's why you can't filter out some of the shit, why the mods don't delete it, and why it keeps getting posted all the fucking time.

I cook thai food

Just picked up some assorted beans, lime juice, sriracha, leafy greens, sprouts, mushrooms, and ground beef.

it is all going in my ass.

I like the fast food threads. 4chan is not about being the absolute best in the world, it's about being real.

/sci/ is full of stupid questions about basic math, /adv/ is full of people asking how to deal with their basic bitch gf, /biz/ is full of posts from impoverished NEETs about how to invest their allowance, and for /ck/ it's the mcchicken. This is what real life is.

hey guys
just starting out cooking so i know already that this is a retarded question but am i supposed to take the pan off of the burner once the food is done cooking?
or do i leave it there so that it keeps warm or something
