I throw everything in the oven, put it on high and bring it out 30minutes later. The mixture of burnt and still frozen stuff evens it out. There I'm a chef.

Your oven has a "high" setting? Or do you just pick a random temperature that sounds big? Comment on the video: Do you put your non-stick dishes in the dishwasher? They look kind of worn out, and between the sometimes caustic soaps and the superheated steam dry cycle dishwashers can be awfully hard on teflon. From what I've heard, modern enzyme soaps and low-temp drying cycles can let non-stick pans survive, but all you really need is a drizzle of dish soap and a washrag. That's half the point of teflon in the first place.

Some people refuse to believe things are clean until they have been put through the dishwasher. These people are often parents who pass on this belief. Not having a dishwasher bothered me to no end for nearly a year because I felt like nothing I washed was really clean. One of my parents insists you have to was things by hand and then put them through the machine. Arglebargle III fucked around with this message at 17:41 on Jul 30, 2013 |

Arglebargle III posted:It's the grip with the most control. You hand is on the center of gravity of the knife, which allows you to do things that you can't do by just gripping the handle. For example, one of the most efficient cuts is simply rocking the blade back and forth. It's both fast and precise, perfect for dicing small things in large quantities, and it's simply impossible to do by gripping only the handle. Tried it out and it does seem to be a little better then what I'm used to. Mico, is Natto even a viable choice? Because if it is, I'm voting for it and also voting for you to film yourself eating it.

If you don't want to deal with natto, I'm going to vote for pizza from Cooking Mama 1, 2, 3, 4, or World Kitchen. It's bound to be in whichever Cooking Mama you feel like playing. Pizza is easy and something that anybody can make in even a small or unequipped kitchen. It's customizable to whatever is in the fridge and is fun to make.

I don't think I've actually seen anyone from GWS here yet, odd. Wooden cutting boards are perfectly safe, probably better than plastic even. If it's a good quality board, the wood itself is slightly antimicrobial. Plus, when you scratch it, the wood will heal itself, sort of, and make the gap smaller. Plastic, the scratch will stay the same size. And never ever ever use a glass cutting board. They'll destroy your knife(ves)

Not having a dishwasher bothered me to no end for nearly a year because I felt like nothing I washed was really clean. One of my parents insists you have to was things by hand and then put them through the machine. My parents forced me to wash far too many dishes (often twice when the first time wasn't good enough) to ever think that myself. My parents' MO was to put dinnerware in the dishwasher, stuff whatever stainless dishes could fit in the corners, and then hand-wash whatever else was lying around, particularly wine glasses, non-stick pans, and wooden utensils.

JT Jag posted:I'm really good at baking but terrible at cooking why is that Completely different skillsets, in my experience. Baking is all about getting the correct ratios of ingredients and correct timing of baking them, while cooking for me is about finding flavors, textures, and edible things that go well together. Hell, you don't see baking everywhere in the world. My GF's parents live in SE Asia and they don't have an oven in their house. I went there and no one has ovens, in fact.

unpronounceable posted:Measure twice, cut once? Construction isn't always exactly precise, but so long as you use the proper materials and put them together in the right order, you'll get a workable building. Chemistry, on the other hand, is a very precise science. Even the slightest variance will completely change--and often ruin--the reaction.

Okay so guys as it stands, Quiche is gonna win with 20+ votes unless there's some kind of huge upset in the next two days. Also I finally got around to looking up Natto, which is in second place with like five votes. I'm gagging just thinking about it it looks so bad.
