Should I add MSG to my chili? And also all future savory foods I ever make?

>> No.17376555

No. Pointless waste of money ingredient/chemical.

nah

Add a mix of anchovies, soy sauce, and vegemite instead.

If you're using msg powder you should also get some disodium guanylate and disodium inosinate.

Japanese Kikkoman brand has "enhanced" soy sauce with extra amino acid salts and sugar added, it's the shit.

did. 100g for $25. From what I've read the ratio is 98% MSG and 2% I+G so this will keep me for a long time. thanks for the heads up bro

Nice. Remember to use your new culinary powers responsibly. It can and will get to you and eventually you may turn into something similar to smeagle.

It supercharges the msg. With the combo of I+G you don't even need msg, but it's expensive compared to msg, so cutting msg makes more sense.

Sounds like a good idea to me. I would add it when you're browning the meat. I noticed a big difference adding it to rice water, personally. I add half the salt I used to and replace it with MSG.

Boomers are the least health conscious people ever. They eat tons of seed oil, soi and high fructose corn syrup.

My guy, you never cook with anchovies before? Smash em n mash em in hot oil n they dissolve to nothing. Cooklet.

Salt aka Sodium Chloride is necessary, just dangerous in excess. Your brain uses sodium to transport chemicals and energy
>>17379461
it's the exact opposite, boomers eat whatever shit they're fed while millennials understand the health effects. It slows metabolism and makes you fat
