I never knew this, I always just thought tomatoes only lasted for a few days in the fridge and I buy one every week to put on my burgs and tacos. I am going to keep my tomatoes outside the fridge for now on. I love hearing pro cooking tips, first I find out garlic presses are for scrubs, and its true, garlic tastes better when its cut, not crushed, and now I find out I've been ruining my tomatoes. Keep the goon pro cooking tips coming!

That also goes for cold sauce (salsa). Get them whole in a can. The less monkeying around the better, Sprinkle just a pinch of feces on at the end for that farmers market feel.

At least with our current technology, vat grown meat seems like it would be more expensive per pound to make then the real thing, assuming people would eat it anyways. they would

Yeah it would almost certainly be insanely expensive and energy-intensive. Culturing animal tissue in vitro is a bitch and a half

a hole-y ghost posted:you dont really have to spend a lot on a knife and most goons probably don't need to. as long as it's made of good steel and you're okay at sharpening you can get a decent $25-30 knife to cut through anything you need to with ease. I spent a whole lot on a knife thinking it'd inspire me to get into the kitchen and learn some decent cutting skills and cook with even more variety but the honeymoon period on that thing was less than a week. I do use it for tomatoes. I read pretty much everywhere online that the sweet spot for knives is around $50.

a hole-y ghost posted:pretty much yeah unless youre a professional chef that needs a chef knife that will stand up to a ridiculous amount of work I think it was the chef threads that were talking about $50 being the spot. I never know whether to listen to those guys though because they seem like a real bitter bunch of dudes and nothing they were saying supported me buying a folded steel samurai sword of a kitchen knife so I ignored them. Now it's a funny and embarrassing thing in the kitchen. It's on this ornate wooden plaque that isn't even a cutting board but i use it as one lol. I sliced some lemons on it and it discolored the lacquer

I sliced some lemons on it and it discolored the lacquer i have a collection of kitchen knives containing exactly one damascus steel knife. it was $109.00. it's two years old and i haven't had to sharpen it once. i realize it was a gross expenditure of money for osmething so utilitarian but it's also an awesome knife. sometimes it's good just to have something of exceptional quality to work with for a change

How would canned tomatoes work on a sandwhich? Wouldn't that make the bread soggy? I ask this because I just bought a tomato for subs tonight.
