Also, there's no point of a photo because there's nothing visually AFP about it, but I accidentally bought sugar-free bread & butter pickles. That chemical aftertaste of Splenda and acesulfame potassium just overpowers everything else :gonk:

Artificial sweetener always bugs me. I had a roommate who swore there was no way I could tell the difference between diet and regular soda, and on that day I made an easy five bucks and learned how other human beings apparently have non-functioning tastebuds in one go.

Oreos are sickly sweet. There's no taste to them other than the overwhelming sweetness that lingers on the palate forever. on a related note, after hearing Americans rave about Ben & Jerry's for years, I once tried some of their ice cream with chunks of cookie dough, and getting through the dough bits was like trying to chew sugar-infused tar sludge, no edible substance should have either that sort of consistence, or taste. It also literally made me sick.

Those Prince biscuits or whatever brand is in your picture are alright.

Just a brand name, like Perdue. They do pre-cooked frozen stuff but if someone's saying "buy Tyson chicken" in the ingredients list they're either getting paid or too stupid to know otherwise.

To be fair, that should be a really simple request and if people frequently get it wrong then those people are loving idiots.

Also being fair, this is also likely the kind of moron who orders it as "I want a cheeseburger but with nothing but meat and bread".

An old favorite McDonald's story from my friends who worked there at school was when one of the full-timer old ladies got into an extended argument over "WHERE ARE MY TWO CHEESEBURGERS WITH NO CHEESE" because one of the line cooks was too clever and just made hamburgers. Like, she had to be convinced that a hamburger was a cheeseburger without cheese.

Wait, what? If a cheeseburger is just a hamburger + cheese, what did the line cook do that the customer didn't like?

Oh no it wasn't the customer with a problem, it was the confused ancient register lady. They didn't wrap them as cheeseburgers (yellow wrapper) with the "special order" slip noting no cheese, they just made two hamburgers (white wrapper).

The customer as far as I know had no problems with this, but they probably wondered why it took so long to get their food.

Regarding that whole medium rare chicken thing, it's actually real. As long as it's cooked to 165°F, you're safe. Apparently, right at 165°F, there is still a SMALL strip of pink on the inside, but it would still be safe to eat.

:science:

165 is just the easiest to use, but the temperature can be lower if you can hold the food there long enough. Sous vide science research shows me that the lowest general food temperature is 130 F (I use 129 for good steaks because I'm a madman) which you could totally cook chicken at if you want to, but it has to hit that and stay there for a couple of hours, and it'll be all chewy and slimy and gross.

The "food safe temperature" thing is based on a 1 in 10 million survival rate for bacteria. I.e.: if you killed off 99.9999% of them, it's considered safe.

At 130 it takes a couple of hours, at 165 you hit that kill rate in under a second. :black101:

http://www.foodsafetymagazine.com/magazine-archive1/februarymarch-2004/the-danger-zone-reevaluated/

According to this you could go as low as 125 for six hours if you really wanted to, but eeeeeeeugh.

I sous vided a piece of chicken at 140f the other day, because I was also cooking pork and 140 is the perfect temp for pork.

Unfortunately, Chicken only cooks to medium-rare at 140f. There's no pink, it's all completely white. It looks >amazing<. It also still partially has the texture of raw chicken. I nearly threw up when it hit my teeth. The difference between 140 and 145 in chicken is staggering.

Yeah just because you can doesn't mean it turns out good. 150f for a bit too long seems to be my magic number for chicken (seriously like six hours and a pan sear, it's incredible), but I love the science/math kind of poo poo you can apply to all of it.

Low temp chicken is usable, but not at all good.

I usually do my chicken at 140. I've never done it for more than a few hours though.

Doesn't it get mushy after 6 hours at 150? I cooked a steak for 6 hours at 132 and it was on the border of being too soft.

e: while at the same time being the most amazing piece of meat i've cooked yet.

I got distracted and seared one side for 30 seconds too long :(



Yeah the margin of error for chicken's pretty broad, you don't hit mush or grossness until a good bit longer than that. 6 hours at 150 gets it nice and traditionally firm, but still plenty juicy.

Beef does really well at the low temp, long time mix. I've got a London broil in right now at 127, gonna be ready in like seven hours. Also, cheap pork shoulder at 135 for ~24 hours makes great pulled pork.

True story, for cheap boxed mac and cheese with a little extra effort I made a bechamel last week and added the cheese powder to it, along with some fresh mozzarella and shredded cheddar, then put that on the macaroni.

It was actually really, really good. Managed to be the best of both worlds of "actual food" and "thing I got for 12 cents". :unsmith:
