parmesan cheese on rice...thoughts? I hate it but my family loves it

When i was 18 and living in impoverished squalor i would make a halfcup of rice with parmesan and a little dash of enchilada sauce whenever i couldn't steal dinner from work

my thoughts are: no.

it's way more efficient to just leave oil frying round the clock instead of heating it up every time you want to fry something.

Yours doesnt work like that? Again, newb. The proper way to install a george foreman grille station is an upside down mount underneath your cabinet area. If you dont have a space like this, just set the grille at a steep incline using, eg a cinder block.

The meat should stick to the top of the grilling unit in either case after being held in place by hand for the duration of cook time while ~90% of the grease will fall to the counter (due to Gravity) where you rest a big plastic bowl. The tray that comes with it should be discarded as it is just for show.

Crockpots are good for soups and beans. Also making vegetable broth. MAKE VEGETABLE BROTH PUT IT IN EVERYTHING.

Chicken stock is superior :colbert:

Buy a giant pack of bone-in chicken thighs, remove the skin and bones from the meat (you can freeze some/all of it if you're not going to use that much chicken right away), and toss the skins and bones into a pot with maybe 1 shredded thigh and a few veggies, fill it up with water, and simmer it for about 4 hours. Skim the fat off the top (or don't, if you're not picky) and you've got ridiculously good stock that's way tastier and cheaper than any storebought soup base and as an added bonus it doesn't contain several times your daily recommended salt intake like off the shelf stock.

Another cooking tip: for the person who was afraid of burritos, you should make your own (with rice and beans and maybe meat and cheese) and then freeze them. No more fear!

Pasta Carbonara (The real cheap and easy student dinner)

- Fill up a pot with water and set to boil. (Throw som salt in that motherfucker)
- Crack an egg (One egg per person) in a cup and whisp it around with a fork
- Add some Parmigiano to the whisped egg, the more the better.
- Wait until the water is boiling and grab some pasta and throw it in there. About a stiff cock measure (Average, not goon size) per person.
- Throw some Bacon or Parma Ham onto a pan and start frying that poo poo until it's proper crisp.
- Occassionally pick up a strip of pasta and throw it at the roof, if it sticks, it's ready.(Be careful to not overcook it, since overcooked pasta is poo poo)
- Empty out the water from the pasta pot and throw in the egg mix(There is no time to waste here, as the pasta has to be steaming hot).
- Optionally throw in some of the pasta water as well to make it more creamy, just a tiny bit though.
- Mix that egg and pasta like there is no tomorrow, because you don't want scrambled eggs in it.
- Throw in the meat and mix some more.
- Optionally sprinkle the pasta with some Parmigiano if you want.

Pasta Carbonara is really loving good and it doesn't take much longer to make than it takes for your pot water to start boiling.
Not to mention, there's very little mess to clean up.
The pasta should have some resistance in it, not to the point where you can hear and feel it break in your mouth, but not to the point where it's all mushy either. It takes a bit of practice to master.

Fun fact about this recipe(Not 100% sure if it's true);
The Carbonara part derives from Coal, since this was a pretty normal recipe to feed the Italian Coalminers as it was a cheap yet fulfilling dinner.

I also have a bunch of other great Italian recipes I can potentially post.
They're usually pretty cheap and simple, but some takes hours of preperation, like marinara for pizza, pasta or other stuff.
Usually when I make the marinara though, I make like 5 jars that I can just use whenever.

Sounds good, gonna try this.


To reiterate what Schnugaf said though, watch them noodles. The difference between good noodles and overcooked soft as poo poo noodles can be less than a minute of cooking. You gotta be on top of those things. Same can be said for a proper pizza crust. Particularly when it comes to the bottom of the crust, it can be less than a minute between properly browned, crisp but not crunchy crust, and some overcooked, burnt, rock-hard garbage.

Yeah, thought I'd add to this comment that if the pasta ends up being overcooked, just throw it out and start over, as pasta is cheap and it doesn't take hella-long to make again. Better to spend another 5-10min making pasta, than having a miserable dinner. The meat is easily heated back up when thrown into the pasta either way.

Please don't use bacon or Parma ham and use pancetta or guanciale the way it should be made.

And you fuckers better buy real Parmesan and grate is yourself. If you dump in that pre-grated Kraft Parmesan, you can gently caress off to hell. If you do this dish half-assed, you'll have no idea what you're missing.

Italian coal miners would use whatever ham they could get. But guanciale does own, friend. And yes, on the Parm - if you can't afford the good parm get some other italian hard, sharp cheese, like grana padano. Nothing made in the US is good yet in the area of grana cheeses.

Buy packages of boneless chicken breast, throw it unseasoned in a pan and out it in the oven on 325 for 15-20 minutes. Steam some broccoli by putting it into a strainer in a sauce pan with a small amount of water over low heat a great meal with none of the mess or flavor. Plus no carbs, if you're diabetic or something.

Also, if you're using a big enough pot, put the pot lid over the vegetables, inside the colander to speed up your steam time.
