How do I incorporate dry ingredients into a meringue without deflating it? I try the folding method and I still feel like I knock all the air out.

don't fold it with your electric egg beater, for starters

I mean yeah OP wasn’t going to die or anything but he still wanted his meringue to turn out
>>
>>21887223
Well the answer is learn to fold correctly. The other advice here is dogshit.

OP, why are you adding? Some additions are trickier than others (e.g. cocoa, which has fat, which messes with the meringue)
>>
>>21886605
small amount first, cutting, and then folding, cutting, then folding, then incorporate the rest.
>>
>>21886605
the air is the dry ingredient.
by adding other things you're replacing dry.
the wet:dry ratio will stay the same.

What are your portion sizes like in your country?

I'm sick of this. Pic related is the size of a kebab in the UK. The width on the open container is literally barely over the size of the American equivalent

A General Rule in America is the poorer the neighborhood the larger the portion sizes, the richer the neighborhood, the smaller the portion sizes.
Neighborhoods with a lot of nightlife typically lean into larger portion sizes while neighborhoods that are relatively quiet after 10 have more haute restaurants with higher quality ingredients, but smaller portion sizes.
>>
>>21887586
You sound like you are American?
Yet - you haven't a clue what you are talking about (no surprises there).

I have been to the USA on a number of occasions an whilst it's true portion sizes are generally larger than in Europe, there is no real difference in quality from Hicksville Missouri to NYC . . .it's just the price.

Food quality is lower than in Europe but I can't deny portion sizes are higher.

NYC isn't some broad thing where everyone's rich and all the neighborhoods are the same, you go to a ghetto chinese restaurant adjacent to some NYCHA houses and you're getting a bigger serving of Chow Mein than you are at the place that's getting talked about in culture blogs. that being said they're gonna taste very different even if in essence they're the same ingredients

>When fresh BK is delicious
Have it your way BK is always fresh? It's made after you order it. I always get a whopper "cut in half plus light mustard" and it's nice to have a double wrapper to keep the hands clean.

The only hit or miss at BK is getting onion rings that seem undercooked or soggy or something inconsistent like that. Frozen coke is why I go there.

Most people fuck it up. Keeping your bird meat moist is chemistry but mostly just not over cooking it.
You maranaid needs to be salty so it can penetrate through ozmosis. But swelling cells burst so too much heat will still dry it out, also resting the bird, or twice frying for crispyness can reduce time in the fryer.
Never had trouble with it in the oven because I'm not a dumb ass, and spit roasted might honestly be the best but no one really does it.

Oh I'm way off topic. Yeah injections can help if they are salty and not acidic but they matter less than how you cook your bird.

I haven't eaten breakfast in maybe 15 years. I've been doing OMAD for maybe 8-9. One big meal is preferable to a few smaller ones, you can't really gain weight as long as you're not mainlining cinnamon rolls, and it's phenomenal to have every molecule of shit expelled in the morning for the rest of the day.

We should eliminate large breakfasts and return to the 19th century "free lunch" where you go full ham only during lunch time where you can eat everything imaginable for free in exchange for paying for a drink at a saloon but only in one sitting.

Why the fuck doesn't janny delete these blatant advertising threads? This is supposed to be a board dedicated to cooking.

So unless you cooked this yourself you deserve a permaban and a severe untreatable case of colon cancer. Also you're a nigger, and your parents are disappointed in you and wish you would stop coming to Thanksgiving because they really don't want to see you anymore. I hope your pets are killed by a rambunctious neighborhood kid who has a bullshit autism diagnosis that his mom pressured a pediatrician into giving him at a young age so he doesn't face any consequences.

I just said my nightly prayers and I asked God to make sure your car doesn't start the next time you're in a hurry to be somewhere. When you put that key in the ignition and desperately twist it while muttering profanity to yourself, I want you to think of this bullshit thread you made, and me.

The ironic thing is that I'll probably be the one who gets banned for "trolling outside of /b/" but I'm actually not trolling and I mean every word I just said. Get off your fat lazy ass and ban someone who deserves it for a change you cum-guzzling janny fuck.

I think generally the problem with diners is that American tastebuds, and generally this is happening everywhere, are simply becoming broader and that's leading to less space for places that serve that midcentury version of American food.
And once there's less market space in there for that food you're in competition with Burger Chains and Sandwich Chains that do faster, bigger sandwiches cheaper in smaller locations and frankly, less people are eating burgers for lunch because they have the choice of Burritos, Pad Thai, a Kebab Salad, Quinoa Bowl or Ramen Bowl instead.
Frankly in 1980 you were less likely to have every one of those options near you, but today you pretty much had all of that and more.

Most cocktails are seen as effeminate, or something try-hards order trying emulate a writer or a character from the 20's-50's.

A Martini is a great way to make gin cold and just watered down enough to have a few of them. Kind of like how Sazeracs and Old Fashioned(s) are great was to brighten up whiskey.
I've had friends shit on my dosed Mai Tais - and they are some of the most effeminate looking things to ever touch cooked sand - but then they try one... and then they have a second... and then I usually switch them back to proper mai tais, or something else because these drinks have squeezed some awkward conversations out of some large, experienced drinkers.
