I actually just made those, last night. Went with a combo of cheddar and american slices with homemade pickles, red onion, sautéed mushrooms, and a smear of sriracha on the bun.


They didn't last long enough to get photos. I still have a way to go because I'm not getting nearly enough crust in the short allocation of time even with a screaming hot stainless pan

Tried my hand at Modernist mac & cheese for the first time last night. It was so loving stupidly dead simple, I wonder why I ever settled for the boxed crap before. Absolutely amazing.

Sorry for the incredibly bad picture

We burged tonight because I had some ground beef to take care of and some buns that were due and a bunch of random poo poo to use



I ground some Sichuan peppercorns and incorporated it into my beef with salt. Added a slice of American and a slice of Cheddar. Topped further with some sriracha, chopped pickles, grilled onions, fried scallions, lettuce, tomatoes, turkey bacon. Came out VERY good.

Hers was just regular burger with onions, lettuce, k+m, turkey bacon


Side was dandelion greens sauteed with onion and garlic

Forgot to post my nonsense



I have a friend who is really, really into spice. Well, all pain really, but I choose to not provide him with the "other" kinds.

So after looking for the hottest peppers I discovered Carolina Reapers. He's a new bachelor and has nothing much to do so I decided I was going to start creating devastatingly spicy dishes that I can't even make in the same room as my girlfriend for him.

The first dish is clearly simple: just some pickles. I made a batch using my recipe with a ton of red pepper flakes a while ago and he really liked them so I decided to experiment a bit



Left: Sichuan peppercorns, Thai bird chilis, ground Carolina Reaper pepper, coriander, sugar

Right: Sichuan peppercorns, Thai bird chilis, Vietnamese chili garlic sauce (Tương Ớt Tỏi), ground Carolina Reaper pepper



I took a quarter teaspoon sample of the brine on the left one and it felt like I was licking a 9v. The numbness from the peppercorns worked so drat well with the spice that had already permeated in 5 minutes of cooldown and it was just a tiny bit sweet and flowery.

(And of course they all have apple cider vinegar, salt, Kirby cucumbers)

This is such a weird comment I've seen for years. Like, theres a shitload of "elitist" attitudes in all the other subforums I read, but I feel like GWS is the only one that gets called out routinely.

I guess I'm the elitist if I don't see the elitism?

Every time I post a photo I feel bad because I scroll up and see beautifully shot and arranged photos of highly complex dishes and meanwhile I'm all check out this 3 ingredient stir fry I took with my cell phone camera

And yet nobody calls me out on my dumbassery so ???

IDK GWS in my experience is only anything approaching mean if you do something that starts sailing us back to the days of meatship. Let's never dock in that port again.

But uh can we stop dogpiling the new guy because he made something we consider gross? They're only sassin' back to people who start poo poo and seem actually interested in Learning More.

My mandoline has a special weird grippy thing because the manufacturers correctly guessed that otherwise I'd bleed to death on the kitchen floor.

Is it the spiky clamp you use on the vegetable because that thing has never worked well for me

Only managed to ding myself once but my old roommate did lose a good bit of thumb. They never found the piece.

Hey, looks nice, what is it you guys call Swiss cheese? Because I'm Swiss and I don't know what Swiss cheese is. Gruyere is obviously the best cheese in the world tho :eng101:
Also I like to add a little Kirsch in the fondue as well (it's a cherry based alcohol which gives it a nice kick).

It's an American variety of Emmental


Also I always was taught to use Kirshwasser in with the fondu, but hell the last time I made it, it came out super watery, so what do I know

I have no idea what the hell is going on, Google Translate helped me at least figure out how to cook it properly, and it's a nice spice level.

Every oven in a home I've lived in has had nothing more than a dial you turn to the temperature you want and then you hope it actually gets somewhat close to that temp.

IDK what to tell you :shrug:

Mine has even more buttons because it has ~convection modes~
