Best recipe for Cincinnati style chili? Not arguing whether it counts as actual chili. I just want that tasty Skyline Gold Star flavor.

So, I know that the vast majority of (or all?) "Wasabi" sold in the US is actually dyed horseradish, but what else do they put in it? Because it definitely tastes somewhat different from regular white horseradish.

Same except oregano. I've seen stuff about oregano pesto, is that a thing anyone's tried? Any other ideas?

You can freeze bean sprouts, but it ruins the texture, which is the only reason to eat them. For longer storage (but still not very long) separate them like an IQF tray and take them close to 0C. You can get maybe 4-5 usable days out of them, in my experience.

If nothing else grabs your fancy you can freeze it. Chop it and freeze in ice cube trays with a bit of water to bind it all together. Obviously you lose the texture but it works just fine for adding to sauces.

I have five pounds of chicken necks that won't fit in my freezer, any reason I shouldn't make a super simple stock (without aromatics) and extract as much flavor and gelatin from them as possible, reduce that way down, and then freeze that stock to add to a proper stock later on?Bagheera posted:Best recipe for Cincinnati style chili? Not arguing whether it counts as actual chili. I just want that tasty Skyline Gold Star flavor. I've used this one from Cook's Illustrated before. It's pretty close, but like all home cooked versions of fast food, it's never going to be exactly the same. If you taste it before the simmering stage it will be pretty bland, but after an hour the flavors definitely come together.

Unless you just really love eating chicken necks, not really. It’s about the only other thing necks are useful for.

I stuck a spare cucumber into my big jar of pickled onions to see what will happen. The brine is an uncertain mixture of vinegar, sugar, salt, and mustard seed. Am I gonna end up with a pickled cucumber, or cucumber flavored onions?

I just got a ton of frozen berries from a friend who's moving and cleared out her freezer. I love making berry pie, but it's too hot to turn on the awful old oven. What sweet deserts can I make with frozen berries and an instant pot or stovetop? This oven is the worst. It's a gas oven from the 1960s, it has no igniter so you have to light it with a long lighter, and it's scary as hell. It also makes the whole apartment hot, which is nice in winter, but hell in summer, especially since we're trying not to turn on the AC.

I realized I have a shitton of ghee sitting around in my fridge. I'm guessing that using this stuff in baking recipes (bread/cookies/cake) as a 1:1 butter substitute would invite unforeseen disasters?

The Mint syrup I sourced on Ebay from a french company. The mint soda is delightful, fantastic for tummy aches or general refreshing sipping. I enjoyed mine lots, refills are a pain though.

Butter is about 20% water so you’d need to scale back and replace the water that you’re missing. Beyond that, it’s not gonna be emulsified and that may affect somethings, but I’m not quite sure what or how.

What should I make with it? Any DIY syrup will do ya good, plus citrus. Make a 1:1 simple, steep herbs or crushed fruit, strain and refrigerate. The above tarragon recipe is a bit more fancy, but it follows a similar format. I don't think blending is necessary. Whatever you do, do NOT follow this: Totally Reasonable posted:Carbonate heavy cream and make a cafe breve. The Sodastream warns a lot about only carbonating water. Heed it. We ruined one, since the nucleation sites turn it into a Mentos and Diet Coke situation, gumming up the seals in a mostly irreversible way. Maybe if you under-fill and be very slow and careful you'll be okay.

Is the Soda Stream still manufactured in the Occupied West Bank? Cause I always thought they were cool, but don't like the idea of buying one for that reason.

Regardless, you should make your own using this guide: https://www.instructables.com/id/DIY-Soda-Water-%2526-Home-Carbonation---Pays-For-Itsel/ You can get much higher carbonation, which is much better. I recommend using a plastic bottle to carb and then transfer to a swingtop glass, which keeps the bubbles in for two weeks.

I heard Dave Arnold talking about having modded his sink to have a carbonated water tap, though, and now I want to figure out how to do that. Cause I actually don't want soda - I just want carbonated water all the time.

Scientastic posted:I’ve just been give a sodastream for Father’s Day. What should I make with it? So I've never used one but you should make Fizzy Fruit if you can. Basically it's carbonated fruit. I've done it by putting dry ice in a cooler with grapes/oranges/watermelon or what ever you want. Then wrapping the seams of the cooler in multiple layers of plastic wrap, let rest for like ~8 hours. CO2 dissolves into the fruit and makes it fizzy when you eat. Plus it adds some acidity to the fruit. Chefsteps video on it - https://www.chefsteps.com/activities/tips-tricks-fizzy-fruit
