I got a set of All Clad anodized aluminum pans off Amazon for Prime Day and they've been great so far. Ceramic sucks, either toss some bones at anodized pans or just replace a cheap teflon pan every year.

Gonna wrap them in newspaper and a bunch of them will (hopefully) ripen, but I think they're going to keep producing so not sure if they'll all be developed enough for that. Also, I've got a butt-load of green tomatoes and I'm too impatient to wait to do something with them if there's something I can do now.

It's starting to be hatch chile season, and I'm thinking this year of getting a whole bunch to keep in the freezer. I've never really stored roasted peppers before; is it better to peel them before freezing or just leave the skins on and peel after I thaw later?

Outrail posted:Against all odds my garden is going to produce a shitton of roma tomatoes, but it's very unlikely they'll all (or any) ripen before first frost. Beyond frying them up has anyone done anything preservation wise with green romas before that tastes good? I'm thinking some sort of slow cooker tomato sauce/ketchup/relish or something but trying to get some long slow cooking flavors from an unripe vegetable sounds really dumb. Pickle them! It's really tasty and they go great on sandwiches. Tendales posted:It's starting to be hatch chile season, and I'm thinking this year of getting a whole bunch to keep in the freezer. I've never really stored roasted peppers before; is it better to peel them before freezing or just leave the skins on and peel after I thaw later? Optionally roast and always peel peppers before freezing. I mince them and then freeze flat so I can use any amount I want later.

Edit: ^^^^ Sure. Might start doing it this way just because pre-mincing them makes it easier later.

I've never really stored roasted peppers before; is it better to peel them before freezing or just leave the skins on and peel after I thaw later? I don't know if one method is better than another, but I buy a poo poo ton every year and freeze them skin on, then peel them after I thaw them before use. They're still awesome.

Well, I probably won't pre-mince, just because my favorite use for hatch chiles is chile rellenos. But I'm going to take the split opinion on whether to peel before freezing or not as 'it doesn't matter that much either way so don't worry about it.' Thanks!

Fozzy The Bear posted:What is the alternative to teflon for non-stick skillets? I have an cast aluminum pan with a "Titanium II ceramic" coating. It is amazing but also made in Germany by a company called Harecker, and they don't sell abroad I think. It is 5 years old and still non stick and undamaged.

Another gardening question! I think I know where my daughter got her green-fingered ability to grow seven peas. I have a chilli plant in my garden, and it has produced one chilli. One measly chilli. After months of careful tending, this is probably the most labour intense chilli ever made. I want to eat it, but I don’t know what to do with it. Shoving it into something else to make that a spicy food seems like something I could do with a regular shop-bought chilli. What can I do with this precious one that will make it all worth it? No, I don’t know what type of chilli it is. It’s long and green.

I just made a shitload of feta! Once it's done brining, curing and aging I want to cut a bunch into chunks and put into bottles of oil with herbs/spices from the garden. Has anyone done this themselves? Any recommendations on good oils that are not solid at fridge temps? I was planning to mix up the herbs and stuff, then heat it up to 150ish for an hour to sterilize them, then do a batch of garlic confit and toss one clove per jar in to not be overpoweringly garlicky. Any thoughts?

I rendered a shitload of suet into tallow and I am not happy with the results. I used a slow cooker and added some water and let it go for many many hours, 10 hours or so on low. Then I strained it through a cheese cloth. Unfortunately it has a distinct smell/odor that I cannot get over. I made french fries since I read making fries in tallow was gods gift to men but while it was crunchy and good like any fry it had that horrible aftertaste or odor lingering on the fries... I do not like this. I don't think it smells or tastes like beef either. The tallow was yellowish and most likely it's from a grass fed dairy cow. Is there anything I can do to deodorize it? I tried adding more water, baking soda and vinegar and reheating it (to ~90C) since I read that online that it should work, but it smells the same still. Most stuff I find googling is about soap making and I don't think those procedures, like adding bleach is intended to keep it edible... Really disappointed if I went through all this effort for something that makes food taste like poo poo.

So, I was at a korean restaurant on travel yesterday, and they served this amazing spicy/savory chili paste with my gimbap. It was so good, I asked the owner what it was called, intending to go to the big international market next door and buy some. Unfortunately, she spoke less english than I realized, and thought I was asking if she got the stuff from the store (she doesn't, its made in-house). Luckily she also SELLS the stuff, so I bought a tub of it. My question is, when my tub of delicious chili paste (which is very thick, about the consistency of hummus) runs out, what do I plug into Google/Amazon to buy more? Pic of the sauce below:
