Yes, actually. There has been gatekeeping about seeds in bagles for a while and usually from the same people who say "BAG-ul" and not "BAY-gull". It isn't a coincidence.

Anything can be a bagel, as long as you're within a 15 or so mile radius of the Empire State building.

For Arbol and Guajillog dried chilies is it better to cook then in a small amount of water to soften and thru them in the chili or try to blitz them into powder In a spice blender

both

soak to soften, blitz to make paste

this is easier than drying/toasting them enough to make a proper powder

you can put leftover paste in the freezer

This case of an intraperitoneal zucchini is unusual, and does raise questions as to how hard one has to push a blunt vegetable to perforate the rectum.

I always do a whole bag of peppers to make a shitload of paste, freeze it, and then I have enough for like 3 batches of chili. It's great.

NO THAT'S NOT ME!!

How would i go about adapting the Iron Leg/Theysayheygreg chili recipe from the first page for cooking in an instant pot? Looking around the web, i get that i should sautee everything that needs it, then add everything else in and pressure cook for 15-20 minutes. Do i need to change the amounts of liquids that go in? If so, how?

Nope, everything stays pretty much the same. You can reduce the amount of liquid if you want, less simmering off to do.

I have a lamb heart and some pork shoulder chunks, probably gonna whip up Iron Leg style chilli this week.

Chili is finished. I should've maybe cut 1/4 to 1/2 of the liquid. At least the beef stock. It almost filled the 8qt instant pot to the full mark, and was far, far too watery at the end. I had to simmer it on high and add 3 extra tablespoons of masa to get it to anything like a decent consistency. The beef turned amazingly tender though. And the flavor is good. But now the apartment smells of nothing but cinnamon, which is odd for this recipe.

Time for a great debate:

If you put meat in your chili (because vegetarian chili is fine in my book), chunks or ground?

Depends on the meat.

Chicken? Shredded.

Pork? Ground.

Beef/venison/bear? Coarse ground.

If I was using smoked pork or beef for some reason, they'd probably go in shredded as well.

The Irish can't drink. What you always have to remember with the Irish is they get mean. Virtually every Irish I've known gets mean when he drinks.
Also depends on what I've got and what I'm shooting for. If I'm spending a day making a beef chili that will be the primary meal for a bunch of friends coming over to watch a football game, then I do chuck chunks (or brisket if I've got leftovers from smoking). If I'm batching a beef chili for freezing/chili dogs/a quick weeknight meal, ground.

Yeah, that's part of why I use ground. I'm usually cooking a pot for one, and with a ground beef chili I can reuse it for a baked potato topping or in a chili taco later in the week when I'm tired of straight chili.

If I've got pork shoulder chunks I'm just gonna make carnitas instead. :D

Chunks, but they break down because you cook your chilli for three days

I've been doing chunks because I'm a recovering insufferable "authenticity" snob, but my wife has always preferred ground. Cook's Illustrated suggested adding a little baking soda to the ground beef before browning to improve moisture retention. Has anyone tried that and did it make a noticeable difference?

I use ground meat to be authentic to how I ate chili growing up, with ground beef. Chunks are good but they always feel so pretentious compared to ground beef chili like my mom made.

For “eat in a bowl” chili, I do both. 2 parts chunks, to 1 part ground. I brown the heck out of the ground first for the flavor, and it also adds body.

For sauce chili, just ground.

Pretentious isn’t the right word, maybe upscale works better. Chunks are good, they just take slightly more effort in browning and more time to breakdown, but ground beef can be nice as well.

I don't gently caress with baking soda when I can just fry the meat a little longer in its own fat before adding the onions.
