Are egg boilers worth it?I like boiled eggs in the morning, but making them the traditional way on the stove takes too long and making them the day before isn't as good as a freshly boiled one and I'm usually in a hurry.
>>21781952You miss an important thing anon.Water has internal resistance to being heated.Microwave overcome that.You can test it yourself, just put 1L of 25 C water in both and calculate how long it needs to reach 100 C
>>21781957People have done this, I think even Technology Connections did it once.The electric kettle was always faster.
Sounds really useful but I lack space to put things.
>>21781960>Technology Connections>AGP tranny in denial.
>>21781971Who cares, just google it and you find different people doing that experiment.Like:https://blog.dchidell.com/2017/06/22/boiling-water-kettle-vs-microwave/Or this:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XMpC6tbrERMThe kettle is faster and more efficient.
Do you ever go out of your way to buy them or do you just enjoy the free bag that sometimes comes with your Chinese food?
>>21777796you can get that shit for $1 a kilo rawenough for 3 month
>>21778101I wish we could go back to killing schizos like Hitler intended.
>>21777796This must be a british thing. I live in the US, and I've never gotten them for free. IT's rare to see them on the menu, even.We get almond cookies with our check in a restaurant, or most commonly, we get a good giant handful of fortune cookies which are individually wrapped, so especially with takeout orders.We always get fried won tons at our table for garnishing soup or just enjoying with our hot tea while waiting for our dinner. Those are ordered (not free) when doing takeout.
>>21777796Decent texture. Mid flavor. I think I'd go for a bag of doritos instead.
>>21779838I live in America but, again, in practically in Indonesia here. Lotsa Javanese folks and many opened Chinese restaurants so shrimp chips are common with your takeout. I've heard about the almond cookies but I've never seen them here
The GOAT of /nck/
>>21781837Nah that would be you getting hit by a train while eating a hot dog.
Every single one of these sucks compared to its frozen or canned equivalent. I'd rather eat an MRE than a Compleats, because at least I get to pretend I'm a soldier.
>>21781897Most of them have no canned equivalent which is why it is like it is.Frozen stuff you can only buy as much of as fits in a freezer. High-pressure pasteurized stuff you can bulk buy at a discount and microwave whenever you fancy a bit of chicken alfredo or whatever.
>>21781897>>21781922Compleats is better than the bottom tier frozen meals (Banquet/Marie Callender/Boston Market), but you need endure the high sodium.
>>21781994The sodium is bad but better than most canned foods actually, and some frozen foods.Mixing in some peas or corn helps though you need to dump them into an actual bowl after heating first.
Sometimes you just want a good old cheeseburger from Mickey D's.
>>21781391How about you suck on deez nuts first.
>>21781383Your ancestors would be so ashamed of your faggotry.>meat on bread? aaaaahhhhh nooo a machine cut it up I can't I'm being poisoned!
>>21781358No I don't. I imagine those would be about $3 now if you install their bloatware and get a discount.
One cheeseburger is $2.67 here in my country
>>21781990They should be no more than one dollar. Seriously. And I'm not going to eat one until they come down to that price.

Would you go back to that kind of food?
>>21781915Go back to what? That looks like typical Christmas fare.
>>21781915I’d be so bad at conversation they’d probably get loud and violent with me mid dinner
>>21781926I don't see any potatoes.
>>21781968skill issue.
>>21781926They're roasted. We still have this at Christmas in Australia.
As wagecuck with no time for proper breakfast.I just make a sandwich the night before and eat it at work.But now I need to stay over at work, so I need dinner and next day breakfast.What are some good lunch box tips and ideas?I don't trust my co-worker or the fridge sanitation so things that can last 24 hours outside fridge preferably.
>>21781967>no time for proper breakfastincorrect.time is not the company's asset.
Wanna go to the meat party?
>>21778297will there be libations?
>>21778422Fat up front, meat in the back.
>>21778297More than anything.
>>21780267Yes. Also, it smells like old milk and new farts.
>>21778297yeah. see you there!
Going to Iowa next week and gonna bring back some quality items. What are you bringing back from your old hometown over Christmas?
Is that Biojankels mustard actually good or is the hype a regional nostalgia thing? I've wanted to buy a jar for years after seeing it shilled here so lovingly but then I remember the awful things /ck/ has tricked me into buying.
>>21781518>the awful things /ck/ has tricked me into buyingSuch as?
>>21781518It’s genuinely really fucking good. You won’t be disappointed.
>>21780719Do flyovers really?
>>21781157Yeah it's Midwest only. I have my folks send me a bottle every now and then
>>21767086did this asshat just slap my lettuce?
>>21780125>>21780140A good cocktail while at a classy hotel or bar is a treat, not your everyday booze to get drunk
>>21767086no tip for this retard

>>21781431It has two sequels, an anime and a TV show as well
*solves bbq sauce*
buy an ad
how do you pronounce this
>>21781749BBQ sauce was not a problem.
>>21781749any bbq sauce that has a ketchup base is not a real bbq sauce.real bbq sauce starts with a gravy base.
>>21781749You actually made me look and see if they had a Chipotle sauce. They do. The answer is still no.
Thread for discussing coffee and coffee related topics.'How do YOU make your coffee?' edition.If you're new and confused, start here:https://pastebin.com/UEzwuyLzIf you're old and confused, How do YOU make your coffee?Previous: >>21761898
>>21781386>What is the most impactful change you've made to your coffee this past year?restinghad a turbo with this earlier.not bad. not dialed in yet tho.but i assume im not far off as the taste was as subtle as the smell of the beans.im thinking about doing water next year.my tap water is very good already but we'll see how much difference there is.
>>21779591>dude I NEED to spend significant time and money on my food addiction!!!No you don't. You just want to fit in with other addicts. Food addiction can be serviced with soylent or even cheaper unseasoned rice, beans, and a multivitamin. You just want to feel special.
>>21781386Honestly the only change I've made in the last 10+ years is start using filters in my portafilter a couple years ago and upgrading my roaster 3 or 4 years ago. Everything else is still the same. Same kettle, same espresso machine, same grinders, same brewers. I'm still perfectly happy with all my old gear. I do need to get some new burrs for my espresso grinder soon though.
>>21779710i started experimenting with freezing coffee last year. froze a bunch of coffee last december, all exactly two weeks off roast, and they've been in a deep freezer, untouched since. going to cup them sometime next week. curious to see how well they've held up. unfortunately only kept control samples for about half of them
>>21781530I'd like to hear about how they taste
Cheesecake is so fucking good.
>8 year old me sneaks into the kitchen late at night and gorge myself on cheesecake>wake up next morning with face caked in cheesecake vomitand I never ate cheesecake again.
>>21781395>doesn't taste like cheese>doesn't taste like cakeWhat a fucking ripoff.
>>21781575i don't think you understand so i'll explain.cheesecake tastes bad and you're weird for liking it.
>>21781395Aye that it is#1The King of all the cakes
>>21781943Anuuuuuuuuu
Peak pizza dip
>>21780261Legendary
>>21781807>Could you teach us how to eat correctly?Sure. Instead of dipping your pizza, which seems likely to drip, will leave leftover wasted dipping sauce, and can only ever be maximum sauce to pizza ratio, you instead treat it as a pizza topping (the way additional ingredients are meat to be added to pizza), which adds zero difficulty to eating, allows you to adjust the ratio of sauce to pizza to your liking, and will ensure that every drop of sauce is consumed.It literally makes zero sense to dip your pizza in something that can be poured onto it, and i can only assume that one must be profoundly idiotic to not realize this.
>>21781900Snobs be like ugh, this is so difficult to eat, what even is a dip and how do I use it??Waiter please decide for me exactly how much I want and apply it as a paste.
>>21781828>bonesKill yourself.
>>21781807>italian oil and vinegar dip>garlic alfredo (milk thickened with roux though, not the heavy cream version)>garlic butter or olive oil with garlicwhen i made pizza at home and felt like doing a little more i would usually make one of these for my pizza to dip. i would dip the crusts but sometimes other bites too. it was good. i don't really like pizza with tomato sauce as much though which might be why i liked it more.
