The way that vegetables and proteins cook are different, so I wouldn't recommend it- the fish is likely to not cook through. If you're time sensitive, maybe pan roast the fish-high heat, plenty of oil to keep it from sticking, finished in the oven to cook through, or do the asparagus in a pan and trout in the oven?

I'm not pressed on time. I'm just worried that either way one of them is just gonna be chilling for 15 minutes and will be cool.

Tent one of them with tin foil while the other cooks, you'd be surprised how well it works.

Some ovens have a drawer to keep things warm (common in most stand alone oven/stoves), or a broiler/grill section in wall ovens at least that stays warm while the oven is on.
Do the asparagus first, drop temp, do the fish. Either use the drawer/separate broiler if you have one, otherwise cover in foil on the bench and then if it's got too cold, chuck it back in the oven for 2-3min while the fish is being plated.

How can I cook multiple things with one oven? So, I want to make roasted asparagus which calls for 15 minutes @ 425 and baked trout which is 15-20 minutes @ 350. Do I just put the trout in for like, 8 minutes?

whole trout or fillets? I'd honestly just throw it in with the asparagus. it just might be a bit more brown than the recipe intended but that's not really a bad thing.

Speaking of ovens, my gas oven is worse then ever. If you don't hover over it with an IR thermometer gun, constantly adjusting the knob, nothing bakes right.

It's almost like the temperature control has a built in random number generator.

I had a really good oxtail ragu that had a quality to its sauce that wasn't like anything I've had before in tomato sauce. From what I can tell, apart from the usual herbs, garlic, and sofrito base, ragu uses red wine or something like that. I wonder if I can replicate that flavor by cooking some red wine and incorporating it into some jarred tomato sauce. Or does that seem inadvisable?

My roommate's lady is a constant baker, which is great because it depletes many of my centuries old liqueurs from consulting projects. The bad news is she's alerted me to the fact that the oven simply doesn't bake so good, with a similar temperature variability. I'm amazing I made so many great Friendsgiving Turkeys in there over the years without setting fire to the world.

You could add red wine to a jarred sauce and then reduce it to your desired consistency, but part of adding the wine during the cooking process is that ethanol is a non-polar solvent as well as something that boils at a lower temperature than water, so it volatilizes things to which it's bonded without boiling.

Short answer is do it the long way.

this is fine



If you can spare the warm-up time, a pizza stone / steel / extra cast-iron pan in the bottom of your oven might help to smooth out the fluctuations.

I mean if the thermostat is shot, that sucks, but it may just be fluctuating between +- 25°F from the target. If it's consistently high or low you can calibrate it too, for my GE oven you just hold both the broil + bake buttons for a few seconds then +/- as needed.

Just a filet. Normally I think I'd just throw it in at 425 and watch it but because it's wrapped in foil I can't.

We are all drinking from the highball glass of ideology.
The last several times I've been at Ikea, I've picked up this mixed grain in a bag type thing. It's very good, flavoured with mushrooms and thyme. However, it's a long way to Ikea, and I figure I can make this stuff at home, but I'm not totally sure how. A big part of the enjoyment is that it's super convenient - boil for one minute, let sit covered for ten, and it's done. So they must be using parboiled grains, yes? The list is oats, wheat, barley, and rye. I can do bulgar for the wheat I suppose, but I'm not sure about the rest of it. I plan to get what I need and just make a big tub of this (to keep next to my rice tub) to scoop out of when I want a fast dinner.

Nah more the trend of beer "enthusiasts" to put as many hops as possible in beers ruining things like a decent IPA.
