Pleb's kitchen

[Pleb No.6077753]

Welcome to a special Saturday holiday edition of Pleb's Kitchen (and drinking!) No, I'm not dead, btw.
Brought to you by Jack and Coke.

Tonight, we're going to try making peanut brittle!

b-b-but I dont like peanut brittle >,<

[Pleb No.6077760]

I have
>peanuts
>corn syrup (had to go all over town for this, 2 places were out)
>butter
>baking soda
>sugar
>vanilla
Water will also be needed

>>6077758
What do you like then, fggt?

[Pleb No.6077767]

3tbsp of the butter will go into the brittle. I'm using the rest to grease the pans, which I'll put in a 200-degree oven for now.

And to the anon here >>/ck/thread/S5832230

Anon, I work 7 days a week, 15 hours a day at the mill to afford these ingredients so your autistic brother, Pleb, can perform his amazing, pedestrian cooking slideshow on this Bahrainian webserver hosted Oriental animation gastronomy wordpress, and I have to say you are just like your fucking mother. Your fucking mother who burns the goddamn roast, and doesn't fuck me anymore. Your fucking whore mother who leaves Legos on the floor, and doesn't put the lid back on the toothpaste. Your fucking blockhead whore mother who took my mint condition Kenner Aliens Action Figures out of their boxes, and doesn't flush the goddamn toilet. Anon, go to your fucking room, you will not be having any peanut brittle and boiled carpet tonight. Get me a beer first, you little booty butt cyber slut. Daddy needs to get a load on before going back to the mill.

When I first came to /ck/ and started posting my "Let's Make Dinner!" threads a couple of people mentioned Pleb's Kitchen.

I'm glad I finally get to see what they were talking about.

I didn't feel like cooking tonight, pic related.

whats that thing in the middle? is it to hold the pizza to avoid greasy hands?

[Pleb No.6077789]

OK, i mixed a teaspoon each water and vanilla with baking soda, and that will go to the side for now.

It's to prevent the pizza box top from sticking to the cheese

a cup each water and corn syrup in here

[Whoremel Niggaroni No.6077793]

>>6077788
It's to prevent to top of the box from collapsing onto the pizza...

[Pleb No.6077794]

Then cup and a half of sugar, and I'll heat and stir it till soft ball (240)

It looks like a dead jellyfish i found on the coast yesterday.

This sure is taking its time. I haven't made candy in like 9 years, but i remember having to move faster than this.

I also have ice water ready for checking texture.

[Pleb No.6077841]

Picking out the funky peanuts. Can you eat them raw?

I won't use all of these. I need a pound, and they're sold in 12-oz packages. Which is dumb.

>>6077781
>all those candles
I think i remember lurking a thread where people were giving OP shit about jesus candles, now that you mention it.

[Whoremel Niggaroni No.6077853]

>>6077841
>Can you eat them raw?

Idk but if I were you and I would save the extra and then try to make peanut sauce with them

I have many jesus candles and /ck/ does not like them

[Anonymous No.6077855]

>>6077841
>raw
Yeah, but the texture sucks. They won't make you sick like some other nuts.

>jesus candles
Those things are fucking awesome. They're $1 at Wal-mart, and they last forever. I...I kind of like Christian myth and tradition.

Me and my pops used to make brittle together. Looking forward to this.

[Pleb No.6078073]

I think it'll be ready to break in another hour or so.
While I'm attention whoring, here's what i had for dinner. I cooked the fish sticks on a glass baking tray

>>6078038
Not sure why you're asking here, but I'd use the curry, coconut milk, peppers, tofu, and maybe sessame oil to make a curry, and save the rest for another meal.

They're as cool as they're gonna get, but a dash tacky. Gonna put them in the fridge for 15 minutes or so, then it's smacking time.

This is the total fruit of my labors, both pans. Since my friends and family are ravenous vulture creatures, I'll probably make another batch with pecans tomorrow, if I have enough corn syrup.

I'll store it in the fridge tonight and get some pretty tins from the dollar store to put them in tomorrow.

And here's the recipe, if anyone wanted it in more detail.

I've never been a fan, but you almost make me want to make a batch for Jesus' Birthday Party.
Props for using betty cro/ck/er.

Just for you, beautiful.
I only drew sonic on that board once, tho. The other times were just writing.

>>6078304
Nope.

>>6078315
Cool I'll check it out.
And making candy that's not peanut brittle, like peppermint sticks is a similar method. It's a lot of fun.

While I'm here, I'll add that as much as I would like to do these regularly during the school year, it's probably not gonna happen. I'll try and do them more often, though.

Oh, and I don't namefag outside of these threads, any other Plebs you see here aren't me.

Yeah yeah. The first time I made marshmallows I was blown away. Just don't have that sweet tooth anymore. Peanut brittle reminds me of Christmas, and your thread made me want to make it.
>I don't namefag
I don't in my OC threads, and they drop to the bottom pretty fast, without comments. Meh. Still kinda fun.

Is there any way to make peanut brittle without corn syrup?

[Anonymous No.6078620]

>>6078593
cane syrup, beet syrup

[Anonymous No.6078628]

>>6078620
Is it possible to just make a simple syrup out of water and sugar and use that?

[Anonymous No.6078641]

>>6078628
You can, but it will be a lot less forgiving. The corn syrup has inverted glucose in it that helps with crystallization/texture.

[Anonymous No.6078642]

>>6078628
>>6078641
Here. The honey acts as the same crystallization control..

It was really yummy

fyi the phrase "on the rocks" refers solely to drink that contain only a single type of hard liquor and ice. mixed drinks always come with ice, thusly rendering the "on rocks" specification redundant and sily. if you ordered a "jack and coke on the rocks" for example your bartender would assume that you're a fucking retard who has no idea what the fuck you're talking about.
