Near future food.

Started a breakfast bacon cure, should be ready for the cold smoker in 5 or 6 days!





Recipe I went with:

pre:
cure:
  2.5% salt
  1% brown sugar
  .25% prague powder #1

spices:
  2% black pepper
  ~4/kg bay leaves
  .5% juniper berries
  .5% thyme

with a thin layer of raw wildflower honey rubbed in first
After trimming the pork belly slab came out to 1.2kg

what does % mean here? is it like n percent of the weight of the thing being cured or is the symbol being used in a way that i don't understand?

in a normal oven you can also put some parchment paper under the dough to keep it stretched out for a thinner crust



doesnt apply in a wood fire oven where the paper will turn to char instantly

silicone mats should not be used over 450f

this is correct. we use silpats and, now that these mats are common, the no-name knockoffs. using them at 500 is gonna be a bad time. ms jones did that once. exactly once.

id expect the seasoning to start burning off on a cast iron stone/steel. that wouldn't be great

id expect stainless not to have enough mass to not drop temperature but that might not matter as much as i'm thinking. also maybe they're just thicker than im thinking - im basically imagining a cookie sheet

yeah cast iron is thick. my comment re: mass was specifically about stainless

1/4" inch thick and about 16 lbs. /r/pizza (lol) swears by them and ive broken two pizza stones somehow. pricey tho.

i looked at that page and it really bugged me. then i found this table re: specific heat elsewhere

Material Specific Heat Capacity (J/g-°C)
Marble 1.2
Cordierite 0.9
Ceramic 0.85
Quarry Tile 0.8
Cast-Iron 0.506
Steel 0.475
Granite 0.3

i'll buy that a steel stone, if thick enough, might be Good Enough. but the page made it sound like steel was somehow better at retaining heat and it gave me strong "guy at the ren faire trying to tell you that metal mugs work better than insulated mugs" bullshit vibes. the claims homeboy's making are clearly nonsense

e: maybe it's more about the finish of the steel being smooth and therefore getting better heat transfer? that makes sense

Theres no kind of cuisine I don't like but I'm just finding new stuff constantly in Chinese food idk

it's a huge country with a ton of ethnicities and climates/biomes. it's because "chinese" is way too big of a category.

tbh "american" is the same way, it's just that most good american food people say isn't "really" american (it's "no where are you really from," but for food)

Obviously (extra) (smoked salmon) is nonsense so it must mean (extra-smoked) salmon, i.e. salmon that has been smoked for longer than normal smoked salmon

i microwaved a potato and mashed it up with butter and salt

then i microwaved some frozen swedish meatballs

then i opened a jar of lingonberry preserves

then i put it all on a plate and ate it for lunch. it was good.

im kinda surprised how well microwaving the potato worked

i would eat that big sandwich

id probably cut the silly sides off and stack it up until it was pretty thick. then i'd cut off the remaining sides and eat them. then i'd eat the sandwich part. it'd probably be, like , a 6.5 or 7 out of 10

cut it into strips and then it's beef/pork tenders

cut the strips into chunks and now it's nuggets

put it in the blender and it's a delicious shake

imagine not being able to figure out how to eat a large sandwich

one time i got a meatball sandwich at the airport that was some monstrosity of size. it tasted good though. i dont remember if i went ham and just made a mess or used a knife and fork but i do remember thinking it was delicious

one of life's great pleasures is grabbing a leaf of basil and a cherry tomato from your garden and eating them in one bite

i guess it'd be better with some mozzarella but this owns hard
