I don't think I've ever made sausage gravy before but I'm gonna make some tonight.

The secret is to brown the roux (the secret to browning a roux is don't burn it)

Idk what the hell he just said but just brown the sausage, drain the grease/oil, then add milk and flour and salt and pepper until you like it. It's that easy.

No

Cook the sausage, then add the flour, turn down to medium/medium-low and let it cook, stirring regularly so it doesn't burn on the bottom, till it browns a bit, 10 mins or so. Then proceed

It's worth it

French toast is better than pancakes.

Definitely, and here's a french toast pro tip: get some decent bread and slice it so there's continuous crust around each piece- like if you've got a bigass boule or something don't cut it in half. Do the normal thing, eggs, cream, sugar, vanilla and a little salt and lemon zest if you're going all out, and soak them overnight (also make a bit more than usual). Preheat your oven to 350 and get the french toast started in your cast iron pan/griddle or if you don't have one of those (lmao) anything that can go from the stovetop to the oven without its handle burning off. After about 3 mins when there's a good seal on the bottom of each piece, ladel more of your egg custard mix into each slice of toast till they're full to the brim. If it's leaking like crazy out the bottom give them another minute and try again. Move it into the oven for 15 mins or so till the eggs fluff up a bit like a souffle and aren't jiggly in the middle. Serve them upside down w/ the sexy browned side facing up

It's really hard to make bad biscuits and gravy.

tbh biscuits and gravy are kind of like grits in that if you just buy them from a random place you're likely to get frozen biscuits and rehydrated gravy powder and walk away thinking it's hot garbage and the south doesn't know poo poo about breakfast. which of course is nonsense

Everybody that watches this video think it makes them qualified to cook eggs in this style, but I'd bet money that most of them end up just making snotty, gross eggs. Ramsey drops the nugget that "if you can make this it means you can cook" but that's a feel-good bit of information designed to make you feel good about your subpar cooking skills. Just being able to make creamy scrambled eggs does not mean you're a good cook, especially if you're inconsistent and your eggs come out boogery; that just means you're an idiot who thinks they can cook because you've watched a few videos on Youtube.

Knowing why the food cooks in the way it does and being able to consistently cook that way makes you a good cook. what's great about this video though, is that you can use some of the "knowledge" in it weed out the idiots whose main cooking knowledge comes exclusively from videos like this - like how Ramsey says you should never add salt to eggs before you cook them? yea that's bullshit, they won't get watery or tough because you added salt to them, the chemistry doesn't work that way; Ramsey is for sure a great chef, but he's wrong about that fairly basic bit of food chemistry so he's not a god.

I sound angry here but I'm really not, my point is that you should read all sorts of ways to cook things and try them all, because you eat a few meals a day so if you spend time learning and practicing your skills you can get pretty good pretty fast

(Oh and here is a bit of knowledge for you guys when it comes to cooking at home: warm up your plates! cold plates sap a TON of heat away from your food. putting your plates in the oven for a few minutes while you're cooking will improve things quite a bit for you, especially when serving eggs)

what i think this guy is saying is just LOL if you need a spatula to flip an over easy egg

I didn't know there was a breakfast thread! I'm assuming we've already reached the conclusion that corned beef hash, a side of any leftover vegetables cooked in butter, two slices of sourdough toast, two breakfast sausage links, two eggs sunny side up, a mug of coffee, and a small glass of orange juice to chug once you're done is the best breakfast ever?

Yes with the caveat that the perfect breakfast is extremely subjective and depends on the morning in question

I have a fever dream of a Benedict topped w/ hardcore full cream she-crab soup w/ extra crabmeat and some scallops cooked in it but in practice I think it might come out too sweet as a hollandaise replacement

poverty goat
Feb 15, 2004



Solice Kirsk posted:

Maybe a thick slice of sharp cheddar underneath the soup and left to melt and get gooey would fix that.

I actually just threw together a test batch and it was delicious but the soup needs to be a lot thicker to sit up and look good

Next time I'll just sautee the scallops in butter then roux the scallop butter like I'm making scallop gravy (have those words ever been uttered together? I feel like I'm breaking new ground here) and then add straight shecrab soup. Should work, I reckon, unless combining two rouxes violates some kind of cosmic emulsion law (of which there are many)

Seaniqua posted:

This is the first I've heard of shecrab soup and it sounds incredible. Do you have a recipe you go off of?
Lightly brown a roux w/some bay leaves then add cream, crab base, magic blackened redfish seasoning and Sherry to taste.

Thats my lazyass roe-less restaurant style shecrab soup recipe. Traditionally it gets a lot of sherry and is then ladelled into bowls partially filled with warm sherry so you should get some real sherry not cooking sherry as cooking sherry is full of salt to deter you from drinking it and you'll never be able to add enough without ruining it

Also good luck finding crab base if you aren't friendly with a restauranteur who can order it from Sysco or something

E: oh and canned crabmeat

you can make your own crab stock by pressure cooking a shitload of crab bodies, shells and roe with some herbs. takes 20 minutes and its cheap as gently caress since you just use the carcasses.
