I'm planning on tackling Kenji's Barbacoa recipe tomorrow, and I couldn't find chuck where I live. I bought a 2.4kg piece of brisket (boneless) and I'd like to use that instead. Will it work as a direct substitution? Are there any adjustments I need to make?

you can try putting a cast iron skillet (or something else that'll take a modest thermal shock) in the oven while you're preheating it, and then add some water right before putting the bread in.

How much water, about a cup?

Enough so there's some left to turn into steam by the time you get the oven door closed, but you don't need much more than that. If I had to guess I'd say I usually use somewhere around half a litre/a pint, which would be about two cups.

I've got 1.5lbs of boneless pork chops, marinaded in a soy-based mix from earlier in this thread. What's the best way to cook these between a cast iron and oven? I like searing+baking steaks but these are fairly lean so I'm worried about drying them out.

Can I use several Kraft singles in place of sodium citrate for modernist mac and cheese? I may want to make it sooner than I can get sodium citrate shipped...

This will depend on thickness. The pan will likely be enough if they're say less than an inch or so. Beyond that just keep an eye on the internal temp and they'll come out fine. Also keep in mind that pork doesn't need to be cooked to poo poo like most people think. A nice medium will be good and perfectly safe to eat.

Double post, didn't see this earlier. What kind of stuff do you have to work with when you get to the party? If you have access to a deep fryer, or a large pot or wok you can use for frying, maybe something like this?:

http://www.maangchi.com/recipe/easy-dakgangjeong

First off your friends will love you because it's loving delicious, but it's also a two-fry way of cooking wings. I haven't tried this myself but I wonder if it would work if you did the first spice coating and fry at home, then brought the fried wings (which will be cooked but pretty soggy and not something you'd want to eat at that point anyway) then do the second fry (the recipe says 10-12 mins but I found that more like 5 to 8 in high heat oil does ok too.) and simultaneously make the sauce at your friend's place. Toss, serve.

No fryer. The wings are baked, not fried. I so seldom even think about deep frying that I own no deep fryer. I will make the sauce ahead (the teriyaki is really quite good, I am expected to make it at Christmas and Super Bowl and get nothing but raves) and reheat / sauce the wings when I get house. If the party were at my goddaughter's house like it normally is, it wouldn't be a problem - I'd just show up early and use their ovens. But it's at the neighbors' so I don't have that option.

Kiiiind of? Are you talking about that super smooth nacho cheese textured sauce, or a specific recipe? Kraft will give you some of that texture but you'll have to add a lot to get it all the way to the texture you get with pure sodium citrate. I've done this and its good but it does taste a little ... kraft-y if you aren't using a super strong cheese.

Yep. My grandma used that for her mac and cheese and always stressed that the kraft american cheese goes in first otherwise the sauce will get grainy. It was years before I understood why it worked.

It should be fine. I had an ice cream scoop that got dishwashed and I never could get all the oxidation off, but I probably wasn't using the right tools. But if you can get it off, it will be fine.

Just to reassure everybody, even shiny aluminum acquires a thin layer of oxidation a few minutes after being polished. Aluminum oxide is very inert and won't affect the food at all.

It's 3 chops, all ~3/4 -1in. thick so I'll probably go for the pan and cook to temp, unless just baking would be a better option. This is my first time cooking chops and yeah, I was raised on cooking the hell out of pork to the point where it's basically eating leather so I'd like to avoid that if possible (probably why I've avoided pork for so long).

I have a family recipe for peanut butter oatmeal fudge that's pretty good. The only thing is, it's way stiffer than I'd like, to the point of crumbling. Is there a simple way to modify the recipe to make the product a bit softer and chewier?

quote:

2 cups sugar
1/4 cup butter
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup cocoa powder

Bring to a boil, constantly stirring. Boil for one minute. Remove from heat and add:

3 cups instant oats
1/2 cup peanut butter
1 tsp vanilla

Pour into greased 8x8 pan and cool.

How much Kraft to regular cheese would you recommend using at a minimum? Would 15-20% be enough, do you think?

It's been a long time since I used her recipe so I don't remember what the ratio was. That's probably a good place to start though.

Question of my own. I've never eaten rabbit in my life and have had this recipe kicking around in my "to try" folder for ages as it seemed like a good starting point, but was having trouble finding wild rabbit. Well I stumbled on some at a farmer's market today so impulse bought it. Pic for reference:



Trouble is; recipe says:

quote:

jointed into legs, shoulders and half saddles (ask your butcher to do this for you)

but that obviously wasn't an option as they weren't butchering on site - you get what you get. I'm not too bad at gutting/boning/filleting fish from scratch but have zero experience with animals that don't swim. Head's off, cute fluffy tail is off, skinned, it's hard to see in that pic but some offal is removed but reincluded for doing...something with (liver/kidneys it looks like - suggestions welcome...is rabbit pâté a bad idea?). Apart from that we are very much whole and still full of bones. Does anyone have any tips or (ideally) a link to a video on how to get that wascally wabbit into what the recipe calls for? It claims it was ferreted so at least I don't have to worry about removing shot...maybe?

Sorry, that got really long-winded but I am entirely clueless here, so I will not cry if you talk down to me like I'm an idiot. In fact, I'd prefer it :ohdear: I have sharp knives and am not particularly squeamish. Let's go!

Supplemental question: I've heard in the past that rabbit smells absolutely foul while cooking. True? Should I brace myself?

This is line for line the exact recipe I use for no-bake cookies. It's going to take some experimentation to get it right but start with boiling your syrup for slightly less time as it's the sugar that really gives it its structure. Then you can play around with increasing the fats.

Maybe buy some gluten free bread and then make a pizza style brushetta/crostini thing with it?

I kind of wonder the same thing but when they do the rock-the-knife conveyor belt chop on a carrot or zucchini or something, none of their previously-cut pieces ever seem to end up back under the knife for the next chop. It all falls in a neat pile away from the cutting action.

Dearest foodgoons,

I've purchased a food mill which has a wooden roller in it:



I've got two questions:

- Did I gently caress up? I kind of feel like I hosed up for not getting an all stainless "barrel" style model, but it was all the store had, it was cheap, and I didn't want to gently caress around.
- What should I use to treat the wood before I use this thing for the first time?
