Yes. It's better and faster. Volume might as well be eyeballing it.

Just start using fish sauce everywhere you "salt to taste". I'll wait here.

Chocolate Chip cookies?
To add to discussion, I will admit my secret weapon in scrambled eggs is a couple of small dashes of Worcestershire while scrambling. I'm sure another Fish Sauce would be just as delicious. Adds some nice color too!

I'd try it before dismissing the idea entirely!!

You really should use a mortar and pestle and it's less work than you'd think.

E: get a bigger mortar and pestle

How many have you had? If it has only been a few it might just be that you've never had a ripe one, but I don't understand people who don't like certain food textures so maybe your texture issues are just ruining the experience.

It's this. Avocados need to be perfectly ripe and most places serving them aren't nearly picky enough.

I'm making overnight steel cut oats in a Zojirushi. I load it at around 9-10PM, and it starts cooking at 6AM.

Is there any safety issue with putting milk in it at night? It's ~organic~ whole milk if it matters (which I believe is pasteurized at a higher temperature or something). If so, would another milk, like oat milk or almond milk be okay, and if so, which do people recommend?

e: I'm not married to cow milk, it's just available

It breaks the rules of food safety and I can't recommend you do it. That said I used to do it all the time when I ate oatmeal.

Nobody should be doing new natural gas installs, natural gas is a fossil fuel.

How long will you keep your stove, and how long do you think it will be "OK" to be burning any amount of fossil fuels? Deciding to purchase something that you use as long as you use any appliance dependent entirely on a fossil fuel in the year 2020 is, while incredibly normal, is entirely stupid. Especially considering that viable price comparable alternatives exist.

If there's anything I hate more than cleaning up after cooking it's having to wash 7 different cups and spoons just from assembling my mise. gently caress that it all goes in a bowl/pot on a scale.

If you have the money (and space, obviously), I'd recommend the Breville Smart Oven. Since I got one, it's been used probably 3-4 times a day, and I've turned my large oven on about one time in the past three weeks. It's incredible.

I will 2nd this, but add the caveat that it never actually gets any color on my toast unless I run it through 2 cycles.

Sweet is a flavor too and pigeon holing sugar to “only breakfast and desserts” is a weird culinary corner to paint yourself into.

There’s not many things you can’t reduce and make something tasty. Some ingredients might require more mechanical and thermal persuasion than others.

Kenji’s brain has been sufficiently melted by liberalism. Meaning that he can no longer understand studies that disagree with what will give him the most engagement from his target audience.

I don’t quite know of someone whose whole rear end dinner plans are now fuckt because a few ingredients didn’t quite make it. But then, I’ve never considered a meal kit either, so there you go.

During the early phases of the pandemic I struggled to keep enough fresh produce on hand to allow for the kind of flexibility in meal preparation you’re assuming being possible. That experience triggered a whole new approach to food prep/grocery shopping on our part to avoid that issue though.

There's always Drinkmate, and they get bonus points for making the omnifizz designed to be washable so you can fizz juices/things that would void your sodastream warranty.

Bell and Evans also has the most preem packaging and do the air chill thing so their chickens aren't "up to 6%" chlorinated water by weight. I want to prefer buying local farmer chicken from farm stands/farmers markets but around here those are only sold frozen and whole and even more expensive than Bell and Evans... Other than the morals/principals of wanting to buy local it's an inferior experience and the quality is actually lower in the case of the farms around here.

Worth mentioning, but this style doesn't work out so well when your "room temperature" is above 74F or so.

Not all ramen is pork broth and not all pork broth is so rich it is creamy with fat!

Have you tried a shio or miso ramen??
