Gentle Autist posted:I have one of these and it is very good. It is probably my favourite kitchen tool. my wife doesn't get it looks like a knife I like cleaver style knifes. “chefs” knives can eat poo poo as far as I am concerned Gentle Autist posted:i know the internet thinks cast iron is so great for some reason but its really not as good as just a good quality stainless steel pan (i have high-sided cuisinart pans and they are good) the reality is I manage to cook without loving up food much better on a cast iron than the stainless steel pan I also have. still fat? yep Cat Face Joe posted:remember when you guys were super into sous vide never fart simpson posted:get yourself one of these imo yep this is the poo poo mine is less intense. like this : ![]() lol a supermarket in nz did a thing collect stamps get knives and I got 4 of those. some people complain they don’t keep their edge for long but they’re fine and the benefit of that is that sharpening is super fast and cos all metal, nothing to break down. i’ll have these forever what food do i cook? oh poo poo i don’t normally bother for myself. cook for my kids. tonight i don’t have kids so i’ll get kfc probably because idgaf about life lmao Shaggar posted:i like to buy meat in bulk and then portion, season, vacuum seal, and freeze it. then when i want something ez i just pull one out and toss it in the sous vide drat i want a vacuum sealer but mostly in case i ever get bothered to grow portobello mushrooms again rotor posted:i still think sous vide is gross it makes the least appealing looking food ever lol

Now that I’ve got a decent grain storage setup in the cellar I’m back to just milling my own wheat as needed. Got a bread starter going again and it seems pretty healthy now, won’t be long ‘til I’m making fresh bread from scratch on the reg ![]() Been making my own cultured butter and buttermilk for well over a year now and highly recommend it, the smell alone is amazing. * 1 quart of heavy whipping cream divided into 3 mason jars * 1 tbsp of kefir in each, cheese cloth secured on top * set on counter for about 3 days or so, smelling them occasionally (if it’s gone sideways it’s pretty obvious) * everything combined into a stand mixer bowl, making sure to get as much as the solid bits as possible * mix on a slow speed in the mixer with a whisk attachment and a towel covering things, there will be splashing * mix until said splashing occurs, indicating that solids have separated * pour everything into another bowl covered in a straining bag, such that the bag holds all the solids * strain whatever liquids out that you can, into the bowl. This is your buttermilk! Should be about a pint * put the solids into a cold metal bowl and cover with ice cold water * knead the solids like dough, the water should get milky * pour out the water and replace it with some more ice cold water * knead some more, repeating the cold water replacement until the water no longer gets milky when you knead * voila! These solids are your fresh cultured butter batch. I wind up with about a pound I think but that’s just a guess For the buttermilk I’ll usually do one of two things: * a loaf of buttermilk soda bread (don’t have the recipe memorized just yet but can post it later) * chill the buttermilk in the fridge overnight, then add a tiny bit of vanilla extract, some citrus zest, and a few tbsp of sugar to make a sweet warm weather snack

its not a knife cos it’s not sharp, the edge is square. they are also known as dough knives which is annoying but they are used in commercial kitchens o think to help with scooping up dough then quickly cutting it into smaller loaves/buns i got the idea after seeing them in use on bake off https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nl70qh52t9k

I know those as “bench scrapers”, dunno if it’s a US English term specifically or not. Supper essential if you’re doing a high-hydration bread and the dough’s all goopy and tacky

Silver Alicorn posted:I need to learn to make a good vegan chili you can use tvp, finely chopped nuts, beans, or some combination of the above to replace the meat. the absolute biggest thing you can do to make a good chili is to grind your chili powder fresh by buying good dried chiles and whole cumin.
