Red flags in cooking recipes

[Anonymous No.12650714]

Chicken curry: "use chicken breast"
Chili or stew: "discard the beef fat after rendering the meat"
Recipes with garlic: "take out the garlic after cooking it in the oil"

Anything else?

>Chicken curry: "use chicken breast"
I think this can be okay if it's going to be in a really fatty sauce. You're right about the others though, never understood why recipes tell you to drain ground beef after cooking, it's just throwing away a bunch of flavor and nutrition.

Recipe with caramelized onions: "cook onions until caramelized, 5 to 10 minutes"

How long do you usually cook caramelized onion for? I usually cook some bacon and render mushroom, tomato sauce, and onion to make onion/tomato jam, and it usually takes about 30 minutes.

It all becomes a red flag once my meal comes out mediocre. That shit needed more spice. Tastes like nothing! This has happened so many times why doesn't my food taste flavorful?

30 min is decent. Can do 20 if adding brown sugar. Up to an hour for making a curry base.

Spices definitely, but I also found out that I don't use half as much as salt (and MSG) as the restaurants do. I was using all the right ingredients and spices when I first started making curry, but turns out that I just needed more salt.

Nice. With regards to curry base, have you ever tried to make the base gravy by blending the onions / shallots rather than finely chopping them? I presume it'd be more prone to burning, but I don't wanna ladle the hot sauce back and forth in my blender and I cannot be bothered to use a stick blender.

Why wouldn't you take the garlic out? Obviously you want to add it back in later, but if you let it cook too long, it becomes bitter and loses its flavor.

Go on a diet with no fat intake and see what happens

>>12650750
It depends on how much you're making, but usually 30-60 minutes. If doing a huge batch of onions in a large pot it can take up to 2 hours.

Because they're very feminine so you get to have trendy homosexual sex even if you're only really attracted to women.
