/ck/ - Food & Cooking

[ZB !uqvogBnFaY No.3792410]

Round Seven – (Aug 7th-14th)

-You MUST timestamp your entry photo. No timestamp, no vote. You only have to timestamp your completed dish photo, not multiple photos if you’re posting a set.
-The more photos you post, the better! We want to see your cooking. Detailing the cooking process/posting a recipe is encouraged (but not mandatory).
-Please use a tripname or some other way to distinguish you from the other contestants, like a gun or a jar of milk. Use the same name/signifier throughout the remainder of the competition.
***If you are not one of the 14 contestants remaining, or have been eliminated already, don’t look at that as a reason to stop posting. You can still do challenges and post your meals, just be sure to remember to say that your submission is “Not for vote” or “For consideration only.”

Voting will be carried out in this thread. Please read the voting guidelines below.

**
VOTING GUIDELINES

Voting follows an 'Iron Chef' scoring system. This means you, the people of /ck/, will judge each entry individually instead of deciding on what you feel is the "best" dish.

Dishes are scored out of a total 20 points, based on 4 categories (worth a maximum of 5 points each); Presentation, Originality, Appeal and Challenge Goals. You may award 0's if you feel the contestant did not meet any expectations for a category.

-Presentation: The appearance of items on the plate; plating skills
-Originality: Creativity in composing the dish
-Appeal: How appetizing the food looks/whether or not the dish appeals to your personal taste as a voter
-Challenge Goals: How closely the entry followed the challenge goal(s)

The Round Seven Challenge Theme is:

Baking! Please prepare an exquisite baked dish; it can be entree or dessert.

*** Some new rules regarding Elimination Rounds: E-Rounds carry penalties and/or bonuses. Bonuses will apply to the top contestant or contestants for that round, and will usually involve some kind of perk or benefit for the next challenge. Penalties are for the bottom five contestants of any E-Round, and are meant to make the following challenge more difficult; you messed up somehow, so you’ll have to work extra hard to pull yourself out of that point hole!

If for some reason you are unable to participate in a Round, you are not automatically eliminated, but you are put at the very bottom of the penalty group, and you don’t get points of course. Failing to submit an entry two Rounds in a row will result in automatic elimination.

And once again, if you’re eliminated, please don’t take that to mean you shouldn’t post your food anymore. Just be sure to mention that your picture isn’t for voting on.

For the moment, we're doing either perks for the winner or penalties for the bottom five. So I guess the perk this time is no egg restriction. Other rounds will have definite benefits for coming in first.

As for scores, Hearts is tallying everything and making sure it's all accurate with info from the previous rounds. She'll probably have everyone's scores posted sometime tomorrow.

>>3792435
I hadn't planned on putting up cumulative scores, mostly because it seems a bit discouraging to those competitors who are at the bottom (and it also takes away a lot of the element of surprise with eliminations), but if more of you guys want to see the scores than not, then I can post them up later in the week.

Some scoring info, for those of you interested:

The weekly winner is chosen by their performance in that week's challenge, without cumulative scores taken into factor. The bottom five are (currently) being chosen based on their previous participation and cumulative score, since not all contestants are participating every week. As we move further along into the competition and every remaining contestant is participating in every challenge, the bottom five will be chosen based on their performance in that week's challenge only. At that point, the criteria for elimination will be a combination of cumulative performance and challenge-specific scores.

That isn't necessary. It is rather childish, actually.
Why can't you simply just ignore the thread ? Other people are interested in this thread, not everything on /ck/ has to cater to you directly. I happen to hate ramen and pizza threads, I don't feel the need to mock or condemn them. Let the faggots have their thread, I think it encourages creativity and fosters original content. I don't see the harm in it.

This recipe is influenced by an Aztec beverage called “Chocolatl”. It was flavored with rich chocolate, fragrant cinnamon, and spicy chili peppers and drunk warm. I have created a chocolatl-like curd to top a buttery shortbread tart crust. This dessert is excellent served warm or at room temperature.

Well for this challenge, I've decided to try something else and go regional. This week's dish is: buttermilk "koldskål", with white chokolade and vanilla kammerjunkers.

A vertical will follow tomorrow, so there's no point of rating it yet; but here's the pic anyway.

Sweet/Spicy Beer Butt Baked Chicken!

Take a 5-7lb chicken, innards removed, and coat with tequesquite (I used baking powder, black pepper, salt, and sage.) Set in fridge for 20-30 minutes to cool and let the spice rub dry out the skin.

Heat oven to 325. Put chicken on a beer can in a pan, or on a special beer can pan. Make sure beer is in the can/holder. Bake chicken for 75-90 minutes.

While chicken cooks, mix a teaspoon of cornstarch and tablespoon of water until no lumps remain, set aside. Bring 1/2 cup maple syrup, 1/2 cup orange marmalade, 1/4 cup apple cider, 2 tablespoons sriracha or other chili/garlic sauce, 2 tablespoons dijon mustard, 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, and a teaspoon of freshly-ground black pepper to a boil. Reduce to simer, let reduce to roughly 3/4 cup. Add water/cornstarch mix, stir, let cook 1 minute. Turn off heat.

Remove chicken from oven, bring heat in oven to 500. Brush chicken with the sauce mix, toss chicken in, still on the can/holder, with a couple of cups of water in the pan. cook 12 minutes, pull halfway from oven, re-brush with more glaze, return to oven for another 12 minutes. remove from oven completely, brush with more glaze, let sit 5 minutes.

While that cools, strain the juices left in the pan through a fine mesh sieve, and either into a fat separator or plain cup (I like the fat, more flavor, so it stays.) If you do the separator, wait 5 minutes or so, then pour all of the juices except fat into the remaining glaze, bring back to a boil, mix thoroughly. Same steps apply for those not using a fat separator, just dump it in the glaze pot/pan and heat it up, mix well.

>hibiscus jelly

:O

I must make this.

So I tried making flan cake; basically you do the same procedure for flan, pouring caramel into the bottom of a container, pour in the custard batter then top it off with cake batter and bake in a water bath. For the flan mix I used eggs/yolks, powdered sugar, and some reduced whole milk. The chocolate cake batter is cake flour, baking powder, sugar, cocoa powder, oil, eggs and vanilla extract. I know nothing about baking so it's not worth posting "instructional" information about how I mixed these things (I know I screwed up some steps anyway so...). Then I poured the custard batter into the bowls with the caramel bottoms and poured the cake batter over the back of a tablespoon. I baked them until they passed the toothpick test (~30-40min), let them cool and refrigerated them. The red sauce is strawberry puree with some sugar and lemon juice. To plate you have to run a knife around the insides of the bowl/ramekins and hope it falls out after you turn it onto a plate. (This is a square cut from a round bowl which would have been huge for a dessert portion.) The nut brittle is just caramel over chopped walnuts. I think that's it. I'm glad this round is over. Fuck baking

I cut this round close; I've really busy procrastinating.

I like the look of the tart without the jelly, but with....the mixture of textures looks so distinctly unpleasant, even when the jelly's on the side (I'm assuming that's the jelly?). Also, the two scoops of ice cream look so separate from the tart - I'd prefer it if a single scoop was just placed on top.

I really like the mix of flavors for this one, although I think I would prefer the blueberry to be in a jam form, partially because the puckered berry craters left by the blueberries are unappealing, and also because they'd add a more concentrated hit of sweetness and flavor.

I'm not usually a fan of the chocolate cake, but the unique texture looks closer to pudding (maybe intentionally, maybe because you admittedly messed up some of the steps), so it looks like it'd be good and go well with the pudding. You have a lot of garnishes, but I think they're presented well and would go with the tastes and textures of the "flan cake."

It certainly looks edible (and I would eat and enjoy it if I were offered it at a restaurant), but in the end it's just .a plain shepherd's pie. I do appreciate that you used ground lamb, though.

god damn it's hard getting to all of these

I like the idea and how it was executed, but I think a "chocolate cookie tart" made with cocoa powder is going to lack some depth, flavorwise, as opposed to a tart made with a ganache (I dunno, I expect some pretty intense chocolate flavors if you're going to reference the Aztecs). That said, I love the crackly brownie-like crust, and the combo of buttery shortbread and chocolate curd is great.

It's hard to make "baked chicken with a vaguely fruity, spicy glaze" original, but it does look delicious.

Fuck the haters, I think this looks delicious and totally is within the theme. That said, I wish you did something more unique with the presentation, and that you included more photos of the biscuits themselves.

No I didn't burn the almonds myself, but I might as well have done that - they're a bitch to get during the summer.

>>3808630
Thanks - though I think all my dishes could use a "presentational update".
