>>21800472Concept-wise, it is essentially a pre-worn Excalibur coating. Pic related:>If a spatula or other metal object is scraped over Excalibur, it simply skips over the stainless-steel “peaks” unable to gouge out the nonstick coatings in the “valleys”.The difference is that you can get a 12" Excalibur-coated skillet from a restaurant supply store for $15. And it's not pre-worn.
>>21801003Just checked my email. I ordered two Excalibur-coated 12" skillets in 2018 and two Excalibur-coated 8" skillets in 2020 from a restaurant supply store.I have used them heavily and I still have all of them. They are still all nonstick and none of them have scratches or flaked Teflon. The system shown in >>21801003 works. Those little stainless steel pellets keep that shit on the pan.IIRC at one point Allclad was using Excalibur on its nonstick products. It's fucking rad.So yeah, Hexclad is a scam. Just get some cheap shit from a restaurant supply store instead.
>>21800472its the worst of both worlds
>>21801003any brands that use that tech but aren't made in china?
>>21801064I've learned to stop worrying about this haha.As much as China's lax safety standards are an issue, so too are the modern manufacturing employee demographics in the west.
Lomo Saltado
>>21794084No
>>21800486Nobody wants to see or hear that disgusting subhuman wetback babble
>>21794084When I see data Lomo I get FOMO
>>21794084Weird combo. Why two starchy sides?
>>21794212I for sure would eat that.
Christmas is over, back to our regularly scheduled shitslop
>>21799855yeah i’ll say
>>21799933You'll say what, huh? What will you say?
>>21799855I’d skip that veg but would definitely eat the loaf and mash
>>21799855looks good but needs moar meatloaf
>>21799855OP you should try using frozen green beans they come out much better than the soggy brown canned stuff
Post you're kitchens /ck/>finally finished renovating mine>new sink>new countertops >new appliances >new backsplash and wallpaper>resurfaced cabinets >just needs a new coat of paint
I’ve made duck olarange in this piece of shit
>>21799412Seems decent. Not sure if there's enough lights for the night and maybe you'll want a bit more cabinets in the future.
>>21789949I weigh 526 pounds btw
>>21800465this is a pic that captures the lighting. I agree, I'll get a plug in night light and maybe something else for it. eventually I'd love downlights led because I hate the boob lights this place has
>>21798415please tell us more about what this life is like, first time i'm hearing about the british canal lifestyle>are you continuously moving or are you docked somewhere for long stretches of time>how often do you travel/how much time do you spent at docks>what do you do for power? is the coal just for warmth or does it power a generator?>is navigating that thing difficult?>how much maintanence does it require?>what do you do for money? remote work? is there a way to make money from this boat?>can you legally get shitfaced on that thing or do you need to be sober at all times?>how do things like rain, snow, wind, heat affect life on this thing?
Post what you got anons. Received this "premium control" knife from my grandparents, I think they got swindled.
>>21798190I've been getting ads for those things on YT for years whenever Google figures out how to get past my adblockers, they're a manosphere tacticool version of the old "it can cut a can then slice a tomato" knife commercials that used to play late at night.>>21799187That's really common, you used to see tables with "handmade" knives at gun shows and you'd see like 3 of the same "handmade" knife on different tables at the same show. The modern equivalent is selling "handmade" stuff on Etsy/Amazon/etc. I can practically guarantee the sheath is from the internet and there's a good chance that the scales came with the knife if not already on it. Frankly I'd reconsider how much I trust that friend. Do you know how much they paid for it?
>>21800348it was my main Christmas present to myself>>21800361>Do you know how much they paid for it?Way too much, enough to get a very decent production knife. The guy is my parents' good friend's boyfriend, but not close himself. I have, for what it's worth, talked knifemaking with him before and he mentioned putting handles on blanks so I assume that's the deal, especially because the scales are noticeably nicer than what I'd expect for the blade - I've seen those show booths so I know what you typically get.
got a Brita water filter, herbal tea, Dots honey mustard pretzels, peanuts, two bags of coffee, swiss miss, chocolate stirring spoons, a spice rack (although garlic is missing for some reason) and a coffee bean grinder
>>21798190my uncle fell for this meme and got me one of these. the blade's sharp enough right now, but most new knives are.what's the hole for? i tried putting my finger in it and it had jagged edges that could definitely draw blood if i used it long enough. my uncle says it's for hanging it somewhere. i thouth it'd be for control since the handle is pretty thin and flimsy
>>21800988>I thought it'd be for controlAnd you'd be right. You sometimes see it on /k/ and /out/ knives and that's the image they're trying to present which is why their marketing is "bad ass" and rugged guys with beards, at least from what I've seen. Hell, someone mentioned Coolina Knives earlier ITT and that's a name I haven't yet seen these knives marketed under so I went to their site and I'm seeing stuff that looks like copies of common mallninja shit presented as kitchen knives. They also definitely used to sell the knife in OP's pic, it's in some of their pics but no longer on their site. Those things seem to be sold under like half a dozen names, I had no idea this was so widespread.
A proper Christmas breakfast
>>21799104you’re right I need all my meals to be a flex of class
>>21799048Im going to send dead bodies to your front door inshallah
>>21799054I wish I was in the Land of Cotton, old times there are not forgotten. Look away!
>>21800620You don’t eat it with fried egg?
>>21801022I would have loved to but eggs were completely sold out last time I was at the shops. Ever since covid everything just falls into ridiculous shortages randomly which is something that never fucking happened before. I am going back to the eggmonger tomorrow so fingers crossed.Pic is from the last time I had CBH, which I made from scratch because they don't sell it in cans here
This cost me $100. This is what I will be surviving on for a week.
>>21795574post cat
>>21795574This nigha eating cat food LMAOAlso, why on earth are you not just making fresh beans? And where is the rice?
>>21799986The kale and limes in that pic always kill me lmao
>>21795574>waah my groceries>casually spends $11 on butter and $20-30 on salmonok bro
>>21795574Why so much beans
Wh-why are you putting me in that po-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Lobsters have decentralised nervous systems, they don't have one brain but lots of small brains all over their bodyStabbing it in the head doesn't actually kill it, just paralyzes it.

Food delivery apps have won, it's not going to be possible to pack a lunch if you want anything other than a sandwich.
>>21800928my mom has tupperware older than methese things are such high quality they will outlast me and my kids
>>21800936turns out convenience of purchase mattersshocking
>Tupperware going bankrupt>Starfrit not going bankrupt>Rubbermaid not going bankrupt>Ziploc not going bankrupt>the dozens of other companies that make food safe containers not going bankruptSo basically nothing of value was lost.

Now that the holidays are over, what are your favorite ways to use the cheap turkeys that are on sale?
>>21800159Christ that's pricey. Turkey at Costco was 99¢/lb and $5 off on top of that. Got 15lb bird for less than ten dollars.
>>21800379Anon, that's $0.27 per poundLook at the bottom of the price tags
>>21800159True. But you and I know this already. Still didn't stop me from buying two titties for 49¢/lb on Tuesday, even if I got proper turkeys 25¢/lb then another turkey practically free because of couponing.You said you just roast one every month or so, right? I break ours down, use all the backs and wingtips to make stock roasting one whole breast for Thanksgiving and freeze everything else. Curries and soups with the drums, pulled turkey and ground turkey made from thighs so they don't suck, smoked turkey wings for beans and greens and the breasts generally get deboned and cooked into turkey stews, pot pies or turkey and dumplings.>>21800179This got me imagining slutty turkey ladies which got me thinking of the absolute worst fighting game of all time with the absolute worst name ever: Revengers of Vengeance.One of the playable characters is a big-tittied, harpy-like bird lady, Talon.Here. You can see her milkers jiggle briefly.
>>21800522>You said you just roast one every month or so, right?Usually every 1.5-2 months, we'll be doing one in probably 2 weeks.
>>21800081I’m waiting on the ham clearance, gonna buy a couple and stick them in the chest freezer
do you eat at a dinner table?nowadays i always eat at my computer desk while watching youtube, and honestly kinda feel like a piece of shit itthinking about this, i have a vivid memory of eating at a friends place as a kid and finding it strange that they read a comic book while eating instead of focusing on eating
So you haven children?? If not, you're good. Imagine being a father of 3 at 42, who only goes to the job 3 days a week, and spends the entire 4 days off at the computer playing vidya, gambling, watching others do it, same with porn and rejecting your wife, and get served at your computer because you're a pubescent teen boy in a man's body.
>>21799463Do* you have children. Fml.
>>21799416Fuck off, godblessguy. You will never be normal.
>>21799392There's not enough time in the day to just SIT and eat and not be doing something else.
>>21799392>do you eat at a dinner table?No, but only because I don’t want to spend the money to buy one>>21800254What are your normal eat and do something else combos?
Turkey, stuffing and english mustard sandwich.A christmas classic.
desperately need that other sandwich anon to return good lord
>>21799434there's a million ways to make a good sandwich, and you chose none of them.
>>21799434forgot a pic of the completed sandwich
>>21800218She looks a little sad but I would still eat her
>>21800218Is that bread huge?

do you have any local Christmas feast traditions in your country or region?in Poland:>the main feast is on Christmas Eve>it's made up of 12 dishes>no meat, lots of fish, mushrooms, cabbage>Christmas kompot made from dried fruits
>>21798735In Texas:- Some kind smoked meat common, usually brisket or Turkey- Tamales are a classic. These are meat and sauce covered in masa dough, steamed in a corn husk. Dead ringer that your family has been in Texas for a while if you do this and aren't central American- My family always had guacamole every year, but I don't know how common that is. My wife I don't do this as adults.- Standard American Christmas fare like roast meats, green beans, mashed potatoes, dinner rolls, etc all common as well. But I feel like these are getting less common since the Texan dishes are much better anyway?This year my wife and I did smoked tenderloin, mashed potatoes, roast carrots, and some duck tamales using a bird I shot a couple weeks ago.
>>21799887you probably eat from paper plates
>>21799961yeah this is what I think when people talk about 7 fishes as well. Fish is meat you fucking retards. If you have to find loopholes to cheat your way around your religion maybe you should find a different religion.
>>21800019that's not a loophole, people usually just mean "no other meat than fish" and just don't phrase it correctly, they do realize fishes are animals too and they are not made of plastic
>>21799980>duck tamales How did those turn out?
Christmas Dinner Edition
Flax isn't good for high heat, period, even if heavily refined. Gently refined or cold pressed avocado oil, ghee, or quality peanut oil are best non-seed oils for high heat including seaoning cast iron. Unrefined or non-chemically refined quality peanut oil doesn't really count as a seed oil.
How to make puffed rice, with popcorn maker?I read couple recipes, 1 said boil the rice for 15 minutes then dry in oven, another said soak the rice for 5 minutes, another didn't say anything about cooking/soaking/water, and the last one said the rice needs to be parboiled.
whats the easiest way to skim fat from a sauce/soup
>>21799927I usually just do the chill method, or if the I don’t want the soup to be cold and the oil is on top I’ll use some facial tissues to soak the oil up (they seem to work fairly well for wicking up the oil without also absorbing the soup itself).I’ve seen the ice method a lot but never tried it.
>>21799927Spend $5-10 on a stainless steel fine mesh fat skimmer. Place an empty bowl adjacent the vessel you're skimming. In a series of motions, slide the skimmer just barely under the fat on the surface and dump the skimmed fat into the bowl until there are only traces of fat left, if any. Din't waste time improvising with some other approach, there's a good reason fat skimmers are so popular.
