Rule .303 posted:Soak a cup of beans overnight or longer. A week is too long but anytime shorter is good. What you are trying to do is get the beans to think it is time to germinate so they start breaking down the indigestible sugars that make you fart. I know this is half joking but seriously don't soak your beans more than a day, because they'll start fermenting.

Moey posted:Does anyone make onion or garlic powder themselves? Google makes it seem very simple. Would this be worth it or just a waste of time? I think its more like "whats the point" since onion and garlic powder taste way worse than onion and garlic.

dino. posted:Wait, seriously? You want to do this to yourself? Calculate the cost of how much those onions/garlics will shrink down, the amount of electricity it will take to run the oven for that long, and the amount of gently caress-off annoying labour involved in flipping over row after row of sliced onion or garlic. Onion/garlic powder aren't so expensive as to make this level of torture and ingredients cost worthwhile. Yeah, seriously, they're a buck apiece, and if the taste was important, you'd just cook and eat garlic and onions.

GrAviTy84 posted:I would guess that the unilateral haters use inferior and/or stale powders. That, or they just use onions and garlic, which are cheap, taste better, and take a minute to prep. Like there are specific uses of onion and garlic powder (like the aforementioned rubs and stuff like sous vide) but it's really not an every day thing.

Making bread is a joy. Even if you don't want to do it regularly, at least give it a try and see what a difference fresh bread makes.

TheNothingNew posted:I'm kind of surprised they didn't budget for a daily multi-vitamin. Or maybe they did and I missed it in skimming. Those things are expensive, though. Uh, not really. You can get 90 days of a multivitamin for like 4 dollars, unless you think what brand's on the label actually means something.

Beet gratin is especially cool because unlike a lot of vegetables you can bake the hell out of it and it will never lose its shape or go mushy.

All you'd really need is a sealable container and a nice cool place to put them, they're good for a couple years.

It could be worse, since like you say that's their deal offer and it probably goes for 7-8 dollars per pound. 5 per pound is pretty reasonable for shrimp, though you'll hear a lot about where you should and should definitely not buy shrimp from.

I will never, ever understand people just tossing the wings in the stock pot like the wing isn't the most delicious treat on the whole bird. Unless you just mean the wing tips or the bones or something.

Flash Gordon Ramsay posted:I assume he means the wing tips. When I buy whole wings, I always cut off the wing tips and freeze them until I have a great big bag. They contain a ton of collagen, and will give a lot of body to your stock. Oh, this I know. People always say it as "wings" and it just seemed weird to me. I hope they're just using the tips and not missing out.

Flash Gordon Ramsay posted:I will say though that when I roast a chicken, the wings never make it to the table. That's because as soon as I pull it out of the pan, I pull off the wings and eat them myself. Because dammit I deserve them. I take them off and roast them separately so I don't have to even wait for the bird to finish.

bombhand posted:Hell. Buy chicken bones. I can get enough chicken carcasses to fill my pressure cooker for two or three bucks, noting that chicken up here in Canada is more expensive in general than down in the US. Most butcher shops that carry chicken will have chicken carcasses available (often frozen), left over from when they break down whole chickens. If you use a lot of stock but don't necessarily buy chicken all the time (or can't afford to), this is a great way to keep your stock supply healthy. A lot of retailers sell chicken backs like this, in addition to beef bones, pig knuckles, etc so you can make thick, rich stocks for very little money.

Leper Residue posted:Hell, there's a youtube channel I used to subscribe to called "Depression Cooking" where this old lady who lived during the depression taught you how to cook on like 75 cents a day. When eating said food I understood the meaning, cause I just felt depressed the whole time. I say buy quality ingredients and learn how to make them last, not lovely ingredients and eat them all at once. I'm much happier for it. I love this channel.

Is this DeKalb? This remains bar none the best farmer's market I've ever been to. I still have spices from them from like 2-3 years ago.
