Some of these posts are like reading the vegan sub reddit. I get the organic chicken from Costco, (even if you don’t believe in hormones being pumped into the chicken is bad for us, the taste is different.) and generally don’t eat non local beef. (I mostly don’t eat beef). Disclaimer, I think the whole argument that the world should go vegan because of think of the animals is missing the point... some of us really don’t care as much about that. Im sorry, I will never care as much about a cow as a homeless person. That being said, the argument about environmental impact from farming animals is very strong, and should be leaned into more than the shaming a lot of vegans go for. As for Costco related content, mom drove to Costco today and grabbed an air hockey table to surprise my Niece and nephew. Table looks dope, and is heavy as hell. They have no clue it’s being set up tomorrow for Christmas  . It’s going to be great.

raton posted:Are they thirteen dollars a dozen? Don't think I've ever seen that high I just mean your pitch of "these are the highest quality eggs being sold by people known for pricegouging" does not match my experience of regular old high end supermarket eggs. I've deffo seen 2.99 half dozen at safeway. If it were truly a snooty pricegouging store selling such nich eggs I could easily see closer to 10 bucks a dozen being a thing. For reference it's p easy to get less than a buck per dozen here for the torture eggs or w/e you wanna call them so it's not like a high cost of living area where things are generally inflated, just that if you wanna burn the cash on it you can cause basically every store does have the hand jerked brown eggs for $$$$ if you're so inclined.

Costco boneless chicken breasts are consistently the worst quality chicken I have to deal with yet I will continue getting it because of the price. Seriously, whenever I cook it, it just dumps so much liquid that I need to pour some it out of the pan, else my chicken starts simmering itself and I don't get any sear. It's worse than the generic unlabeled chicken I get from the local grocery store, that's still has veins and poo poo attached that I need to cut off.

Bruh, don't you rinse the slime off your chicken and clean it with vinegar, and then paper towel dry each breast? You don't just dump raw chicken in the pan...

vinegar? I rinse it in water and towel dry but that's it. Even then, the liquid comes from inside chicken. It'll cook fine on a stovetop for a few minutes, and it starts dumping liquid when it's about half cooked through. It's too much to boil off without overcooking the poo poo out of the chicken, so it's more than just the slime on the outside. I suspect it's been brined like a turkey or something during processing.

If I'm doing breasts (heh) then I always go to whole foods because their poo poo is air chilled and it makes a giant difference when they cook. Beef though? Costco PRIME all day everyday.

Renegret posted:vinegar? Oh ok, you meant the moisture content within the breast. Yeah you are right about that. Probably brined so that the breasts gain weight. Those bastards are selling us salty water.

raton posted:Chicken breasts suck anyway just get thighs Yeah thighs are usually better, but there are some really good pan sauce recipes that are best with chicken titties. Like my favorite chicken breast recipe that is super easy to make on a weekday: https://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2015/04/easy-pan-roasted-chicken-breast-bourbon-mustard-pan-sauce-recipe.html e: and I've said this before but if you're not making chicken stock from your rotisserie chicken carcasses, you are completely loving up.

Bought a 10 pound bag of onions. So many goddamned onions. More than any man could need. Sliced up a bunch and left em in vinegar because lightly pickled onions are the poo poo on 'whiches & hatdags. Threw a bunch in the crockpot, had amazing french onion soup a day later. Tonight, gonna chop one up, throw it in the deep fryer and make some onion rings for me and the boys. PBUC

Cut an onion in half and take out a bit of the middle. Put chicken bullion and some butter in the space. Wrap in foil and bake at 400 for a while (maybe 40m).

They start to demand so if I go at a slow time I might end up waiting a little but if they are swamped and it's hard to walk through the store they open up all of the registers and have helpers boxing stuff and the lines move really fast.

Had to pick up a prescription today, showed up 20 minutes before opening and there were already people leaving with full carts. My prescription was even ready within a few minutes, which was shocking because my doctor had sent it over an hour earlier.

But why are you using bullion like a loving plebe in 2018 when you have easy access to basically at-cost rotisserie chickens? Makes no sense. There is no such thing as a good chef that doesn't make their own chicken stock. It's that important to good cooking.

Costco sells Better Than Bouillon which is a good compromise between cubes and stock.

Yeah better than bullion is pretty legit, and it seemingly never goes bad which is a nice plus. Just gets a little harder over time. I would really suggest that people make their own though- as Costco people we have godly access to incredibly tasty and cheap rotisserie chickens that make BANGIN stock. It's insanely easy to make stock. Throw a carcass or two, or even a whole rotisserie in a stock pot. Add some poo poo like carrots, celery, garlic, maybe some parsley if you feel like it. Then just let it simmer for a couple of hours with no further work required. Congratulations, you just made most of the food you cook on a daily basis like 50% better. It's seriously like 15 minutes of prep and the rest is completely hands-off. Even better, it uses the carcasses which would otherwise get thrown out. I feel like people have this impression like making stock is hard, or not worth it, or for high falutin' coastal types. And it might be for some, but you have Costco rotisserie chickens for 5 fuckin' dollars so you owe it to yourself and the world to make some stock.

I make stock sometimes if I have a carcass or bones from a roast around, but it's the cleanup from making stock that I dislike and costco sells bone stock so often I just use that.

Costco tip from an employee: If your costco doesn't carry something you want in stock or stopped carrying something you always get find an employee with a radio and see if you can get them to check inventory. All the section managers have radios and if something gets called in enough times they'll often start putting in orders for it. This is how my store started carrying mattresses.
