My wife ran to the store to get some pate, which seemed a bit fancy for the sandwich, but it all went together very well. T

I generally don’t cook animal protein until it’s fully tempered at room temperature, like 1-2 hours sitting out of the fridge minimum, then you can do the whole thing in the pan and it’s fine. You can try putting the butter in the pan with some thyme and spooning the butter over the steak as it sears. This gives you a better flavor. The fat strip on the outside is the first thing the pan should touch because the rendered fat from it is what the steak cooks in (plus butter right before the steaks go in). You don’t need to add fat to fat (no olive oil).

Having said all that your steak looks good and I’d eat it.

Doesn't really matter. A starting temp of 40F vs 70F isn't gonna make any appreciable difference when you're tossing the steak into a 500F pan. You're talking about like 15 seconds difference in the pan in the long run.

Yeah, I mean technically flipping multiple times is gonna end up with a thinner grey strip around the steak, but if I'm dealing with multiple pans or just lazy, flipping once isn't thaaaat much worse of a product in the end.

Sure, it's only marginally better but it's really not "that much extra work", unless you think flipping a single steak is a lot of work.

Also, I would heavily suggest not cooking proteins by time unless you're doing SV or something that's actually precise. Doneness of things like steak is much better done either with a thermometer or just feel.

Well yeah no poo poo. I don't do steak anymore unless I'm svizzling. I'm just saying, for the new person that is having issues with everything, flipping constantly may be an additional extra step that isn't really needed until he or she gets the basics of cleaning a cast iron pan down first.

On the subject of steak, here is another strip grilled and flipped repeatedly. Total cooking time 20 minutes. It was goddamn delicious.


If I'm fukkin flipping a steak repeatedly for 20 minutes, I'd expect the sear to be a lot more even than that.

If I'm flipping a loving steak constantly for 10-12 minutes, I'd expect a more even sear.

I've been watching videos from Maangchi's Youtube channel for a while now and made a couple things that didn't call for specialty ingredients. Today I finally went down to the Korean grocery store to get pepper flakes and dried anchovies and fermented shrimps and all that good stuff. And I celebrated by making Bo-ssam, pork belly cabbage wraps.



The cabbage is quick-pickled, and next time I'll trim more of the base off. The sherry glass contains fermented shrimp relish, while the bowl is oyster radish salad. You put it all together and pop it in your mouth. It's an overwhelming combination of flavors, and is very good. I also made cabbage-and-soybean-paste soup with the leftover cabbage, but I don't have a picture of that.

Needs some fresh garlic slices, but looks good. Bossam is one of my fav meals.

How do you keep the burger from sticking to the smash spatula? Oil the spatula first?

I previously used a silicone spatula so that might be it too. I now have a big beautiful metal one (not quite as nice as yours) so I can't wait to try again.

It helps if you toss the ball of meat in the pan for like 15 seconds, then roll it over so that seared spot is on top and smash at that point. That little seared spot helps the patty release easier from the spatula.

It’s both, to be fair. In Itä-Suomi (Kainuu at least) it’s called juustoleipä and in Länsi-Suomi (other parts of Finland as well, I guess)it’s leipäjuusto.

Btw Casu Marzu where did you get it from or did you make it yourself? Awesome that someone knows about leipäjuusto/juustoleipä outside of Finland :)

I've been meaning to make it, it sounds pretty easy.

Wisconsin has a surprisingly not-insignificant Finnish population. I think there's 5 or 6 dairies in the state make their own.

Seared em hard, then braised in a mix of veg broth, garlic and mashed up chipotle in adobo. Simmered until the sauce is super thick. Finished with a squeeze of lime.

This didn't get enough love -- how did you get it to stay so gorgeously neat? I've done it with spinach-mushroom filling, and it looked tidy, but the stuffing all fell into pieces after cutting.

I hate bready or eggy roast stuffing, so the filling was spinach, couple kinds of diced mushrooms, shallot, a huge amount of butter, and prob 3oz of parm grated in.

My method is slashing the inside of the roast with shallow cuts, salting heavily inside and out, stuffing and rolling it, then let it rest overnight in the fridge. This has always gotten me a super tight roll and stuffing that stays put, along with dry brining the meat as well.

Your green spoon splooges are too big but otherwise it looks fine. Edit: the white splorts inside the green spoon splooges are kinda silly too.

That being said, I'd eat it.

If your radishes are too fiery, rinse em under hot water for a second after you slice. Also works if you wanna make super quick pickled onions.

Tried making chicken calvados tonight, and...I don't think I liked it. I don't know if it was the stringy, tendony boneless chicken drumsticks, the two cups of calvados, or the bland-rear end cream sauce, but it really didn't taste very good. :(

All of the above? If you're deboning a chicken leg, you really gotta make sure to get all the tendons out. I'm not sure I would want to deal with deboning a leg in most cases, that seems like way too much work for what you get.


That recipe seems terrible in general.


Edit: I'm kinda curious what made you choose that recipe over all the other poulet a la normandy/chicken calvados recipes on Google? All recipes pretty much routinely sucks in my opinion.

Made some tasty but kind of sad-looking cajun-spiced drumsticks a couple days ago. Anyone got any tips on how to get them to brown better? They taste good, they're super juicy and all, but under the spice they're a little anemic-looking.

Sear them in a pan first. Preferably an oven safe pan so you can just toss the whole thing in after searing. Then you can make a pan sauce after roasting cuz all the drippings are in a convenient stove safe pan.

It's wayyyy too loving hot to cook a real meal so I made bibim naengmyeon.

Cold buckwheat noodles with chili sauce, shredded chicken, cucumber, and a soft egg. So good and satisfying on a hot day.

If the heat keeps up like this, might have to break out the beef broth for mul naengmyeon too.

Sounds tasty and doesn't look terribly raw, I'd probably eat it. But did you let it come to room temp before cooking? I usually get a nicer gradient of well done to pink when doing that.

That doesn't really do anything meaningful.

Also, if wormil is in the US, trichinosis is almost non existent in pigs unless you're hunting down a wild hog yourself or buying from Bubba the hillbilly down the road who butchers out of his rusty, leaky, dirty shed. Even then, the risk is fairly low.

Unless you're serving super young, old, or immunocompromised people, pork is fine cooked to 135ish at a "will this make me spew lava from my rear end" level.

On a taste level, I prefer 140 or a touch higher. Too rare of pork loin has a mushy texture that is kinda gross imo.

Some practical advice, we all love comfort food, but you'll do far better in the long run if you acclimate yourself to the taste of real food and indulge every once in a while instead of trying to replicate the taste of junk but healthy.
