Are there any decently affordable, vegetarian options for sandwich fillings that go well with horseradish? I love the stuff but it feels wrong eating it with anything other than roast beef.

Roasted tempeh is great w/horseradish. Coat your tempeh slabs w mustard, roast and use as cold cuts. Roasted tempeh, havarti or brick, pickles, leaf lettuce, and horseradish on rye is amazing.

Potatoes! Fried or mashed or smashed/roasted crispy. Or grilled.

I've never had an issue with those peelers but maybe I'm not using them on the same thing. Biggest thing for me is having a 'P' shaped peeler for things like apples and potatoes and a 'Y' shaped peeler for big long things like carrots. I use the former much more like how you'd peel with a paring knife.

I'm not vegetarian but meat is so goddamn expensive right now, I figured it might be a good idea to figure out tofu and I want protein in my curry.

The best Thai place Ive been to does them like this in their curries. Get extra firm tofu, press moisture out if you want, cut it into eight slabs (you want pieces that are about 5 long and 1x1 cross section). No corn starch allowed. Preheat a cast iron pan over medium to medium high and fry the four long sides of them in neutral oil like vegetable or canola, using a fish spatula to turn them. Let the sides get crispy but if they start turning dark brown then they are burning. Remove from pan to a paper towel to cool for a little. Use a sharp knife to slice each slab into cubes. You will end up with cubes of tofu that have four crispy sides and two uncooked sides. At that point they dont need any more cooking, just throw them in the curry and go to town. I believe they also put the tofu through a freeze thaw cycle before all of this which is supposed to make it chewier, but I havent gotten that advanced at home yet.

I have this peeler, and its phenomenal



I actually have two, because when we inexplicably lost it, a couple of years ago, I had to get the same one to replace it. I could never go back to a regular peeler. Earlier this month, I was digging out some compost for sowing a crop of vegetables, and I found the old peeler!

Any peeler with the flippy floppy blade like that is good, it's just the fixed blade ones that suck.

I somehow left a burner on for like 6 hours and my enameled cast iron dutch oven now has a wonderful layer of carbonized curry in the bottom. Luckily it only had a thin layer of the sauce in the bottom.

Anyway, I soaked it in water for 12 hours, scrubbed it with a stiff brush, poured in some dishwashing gel, scrubbed that, added hot water, let *that* soak for 12 hours, scrubbed it, rinsed it, sprayed kitchen degreaser/cleaner on it, let *that* soak for 12 hours, and scrubbed it. There is still a (smaller) circle of rough black char on the bottom.

Is there any hope for salvaging this? I have some heavy duty drain cleaner...

I have read that you can use the Easy Off oven cleaner with the yellow cap but you will need to let it sit somewhere outside so that you do not kill yourself from the horrible fumes. I have never tried that myself but found the advice recently when I did some research to find out if multiple times scrubbing the bottom of my enameled dutch oven with the green scouring pads had ruined the finish permanently or not (yes, it probably did).

Have you tried a baking soda paste? That worked for me when I had stuff stuck on my enameled cast iron.

Baking soda and vinegar. Maybe after making a paste with baking soda and water and letting it sit on there for a while.

I would bet :10bux: that gently simmering baking soda and water at a ratio of 1 tbsp. to 1 quart makes short work of whatever is stuck

Bar keepers friend. Use per the directions, no soaking, youre only supposed to leave it on for a minute or two or else it can etch/cloud the surface. Repeat as needed. One of my pans got left on the burner for hours and this took off the hard as nails layer or carbonized oil. It took A LOT of vigorous scrubbing though.

Thirdind this - they really are the best design. We have two - one which takes off only a very thin layer, so great for carrots, and one is less fine, so great for sweet potates or anything with a pith under the skin.

I really like my drink mate, which replaced a very old soda stream. I picked it up because I didn't want to be limited on what I carbonated. It allows you to carbonate most anything in its vessle.

This is my setup too. Cheaper than a sodastream even day 1, insanely cheaper ongoing, way higher max pressure so it actually tastes right, carb anything.

Only downside is that it feels unsafe, though it's totally safe for everyone over the age of ~13 who isn't actively on hallucinagens

Can confirm it's also safe while actively using hallucinogens. And bubbles are the best part of eating so many mushrooms you start feeling like a mushroom yourself

Yeah that's the link I used. The plastic bottle you use (specifically the threads) will be the eventually failure point, but you can use them hundreds of times and the won't explode so much as just pop off. If anybody has a lead on stainless 1L threaded bottles I'd love to know, however

Im doing a similar thing its pretty great. I just change out the bottles every idk month or couple weeks. Just buy a new 1L bottle at the grocery.

I need to get my tank (its a tiny 2.5lb) hydro tested and refilled, but with the kid I havent gotten around to going to the beverage distributor to get that done lol. I should do that soon.

Just buy 1 topo chico every year / 200 carb cycles and you'll never have to worry about it. Max on regulators is ~65 psi and bottles for carbonated beverages are rated up to 100 psi (130-150 burst).

Why Topo Chico specifically? I've only ever had them from glass bottles but I'm assuming I don't want to use glass.

And is using CO2 filled for paintball safe? I'm not sure I want to buy a big rear end scuba sized tank of CO2 like you've got there.

BrianBoitano
Nov 15, 2006

Any plastic carbonated beverage is fine. You probably want a seltzer or soda water or club soda, since regular soda will leave residual flavors. Topo Chico is a good name brand one, and I stay away from store brand / no name since the plastic looks cheaper, whether or not that's actually an issue.

Just not bottled still water, since that's not rated for pressure!

Does anyone have a dead simple electric or non elctric knife sharpener they recommend? I have one of the setups that uses a swing arm and multiple stones so that I can put a wicked edge on my cutlery, but ffs I do not have the time to break it out anymore. I need a sharpener that sharpens to an acceptable edge, quickly and easily. Im not worried if it is overly aggressive because the knives I use I bought for 15 dollars 20 years ago.
