I'm extra careful about avoiding cross contamination at home. Probably more than I need to be, but I've had food poisoning before (from a restaurant) and never ever want to go through that again.

Anyone have a recommendation for a solid, if somewhat cheaper (let's say $50 max) blender that can hold me over until I'm ready to purchase a Vitamix/blendtec of my own? Beg your roommate to come back.

7qt minimum. The initial cost is high, but it will last a lifetime.

Who cares. Authentic Pecorino "Romano" is made in Sardinia now.

That is in line with traditional Italian farms.

Thinking about it, your original statement isn't true anyhow. At least with microplane graters, a hard cheese will grate much easier than a medium-hard cheese like cheddar.

Sorry, I don't know why I'm getting mad about this.

Anne Whateley posted:There is a point where cheese is too soft to grate easily and smears. Above that there is a point where cheese is not very hard and grates easily because it doesn't offer much resistance. Above that is a point where cheese is hard and you need to put more effort into grating it. Think about softwood vs. hardwood. I know how grating cheese works. I'm a loving professional cook. I'm saying those rules don't necessarily apply with a fine grater such as a microplane. And to think I was concerned about being an rear end in a top hat.

I mean, I agree that this argument is all incredibly stupid and unnecessary.

I can't even tell you how many dozens of times I've experienced the difference. You have literally said nothing while trying to say everything. Please shut the gently caress up.

Soft cheeses are sometimes hard. You heard it here first.

Copper pans basically are the Rolls Royce of pans in that they are a waste of time and money. Don't bother. I mean you look pretty set as far as skillets go. Maybe take some time to experiment with what you have. Cast iron is only lovely if you don't take care of it.

Skyarb posted:Been cooking with what I have for years and years. And I take care of my cast iron, but my point is that is a pain in the rear end. Do I do it? Yeah. Am I a lazy gently caress? Also yes. Carbon steel is the same deal as cast iron. Its a smoother surface than cast iron, but you still have to treat it the same way.

Yeah, I switched to a Kuhn Rikon stovetop model from an electric, and it gets to pressure a lot faster.

BrianBoitano posted:Post trip report please! We're definitely getting one (or a competitor) as soon as we buy a house, but that could be a year away. I did a test run today, no actual cooking. It was tough for me to light since I have no experience without a chimney starter. My normal newspaper was a huge failure and produced a shitton of ash. I finally got the thing going with some cotton balls soaked in petroleum jelly, but buying a Firestarter would probably be a lot easier. Once I got it going it was pretty easy, just keep adding wood/charcoal in small amounts. I had some hickory chunks, and it seemed to work well. It gets hot as poo poo. I'd recommend getting an infrared thermometer. I'll let you know when I actually cook a pizza, but the weather is going to be poo poo for next couple days.

Josh Lyman posted:My Instant Pot arrived today and I made a stew with chuck pot roast, potatoes, celery, and baby carrots. It was... okay? I let it naturally vent for 40 min after cooking to help reduce the liquid but it still wasn't enough. Is this a situation where I should just make it on the stove in a stock pot? Or I should've just put less water in to start with? I would depressurize it quickly and reduce with the lid off.
