What's the best way to season one of these motherfuckers?
>>21630824>that>stainless steelEcksdee retardo-kun xD
>>21629794most foolproof method is to fry potato skins in some oil and a bunch of salt. dont need much oil, not enough for it to pool
>>21630524cont, here is another method: spread a thin layer of oil over the pan's surface (I do it with canola oil because it's a polymerizing oil, idk if it works with other fats) and look at it at an angle towards some light to see that it's shiny. Then heat it over the stove on high heat until the surface stops being shiny and turns matte. You may have to move the pan around the hub a bit to heat the whole surface. A thin layer of oil will polymerize faster and without uneven spots. Don't heat it too long (definitely not "until it smokes" - kek), you don't want to burn the oil off, just turn it into plastic.You will apply oil during cooking and as a preservation so the surface will be shiny again, but the polymerized layer below is already there.
>>21630024>what is the point it's a perfectly smooth mirror finishIt's a smooth finish. It is more pleasant to work with.>food stickingFood doesn't stick to a seasoned pan. The reason food is sticking is because you fucked up.

>>21631043Interesting in a good way. You can cut chemex papers yourself and not wait for 3 week shipping. Ahlstrom's are harder to source.

folks at work tell me these are like MAGIC!maybe I'll get one....
i only use mine when I make ragu which is once or twice a year
>>21630359They're not magic but they are useful. Have reasonable expectations instead of retarded ones and you'll find it a good addition to your kitchen.
>>21630359Instant Pots are great because they are retard-proof pressure cookers
>>21631251For me, it was the pressure cooker lid that got embedded in the kitchen's plywood ceiling. Thank God no one got hurt.good times
>>21630359it tends to turn things like stew to mush since you cant really stagger ingredients based on cooking time. its good for soups, beans and pulled meat
What's a good sauce for a chicken sandwich/burger besides mayo/ranch? Store bought sauces are fine too
>>21631363In SE Asia they use black pepper sauce on chicken sandwiches and it's great. Also sometimes mixed with mayo.Even McDonald's here has a black pepper sauce Chicken sandwich Maybe you can find it at an Asian grocery
Sriracha mayo has been my go-to for years.
>>21631363A common DIY meal that I had to often make as a kid was a chicken sandwich like this, but I would put ketchup and raw white onions on it. Sometimes I still do just for nostalgia's sake.Anyways, I like a good, fruity BBQ sauce if it's a cheap one to help disguise how tasteless the chicken patty is. If I'm making it myself, I like to add some tarragon to mayo and use that. It compliments the chicken and the mayo really well and works as a palate cleanser between bites for some strange fucking reason
>>21631363Honey mustard. Thousand Island to Reubenize it. A citrus glaze + some curry mix. Salt & malt vinegar. Eggs hollandaise.
>>21631363toum galic sauce
hy is this frowned upon? why is it that someone using it for lets just say a casserole or noodles/pasta is regarded as having committed a culinary sin? even pork spam is more expensive and higher quality than frankfurters bratwurst and most bacons that you can find in grocery stores
>>21630390That's what makes it delicious
>>21628373Both SPAM and Bully Beef are more expensive per pound than minced meat, so what's the point?
>>21628373Expensive doesn't make it acceptable. It's lazy to make a casserole and use canned meat.
>>21628373Spam was used as WW2 rations and US soldiers got so fucking sick of it they pawned it off to Filipino, Hawaiians, and the other Asians at the places they were deployed at. Which is why it's so popular over there and so hated in the continental US.
>>21630409Not like you can just look at the ingredients or check out the multitude of standards regarding regional dishes.
Water is like eating cardboard and an ice cold Dr.Pepper is like eating a nice juicy burger. I don't care how unhealthy eating a juicy burger is I will not eat the cardboard 5 times a day for the rest of my life.

>>21631459I'm old-fashioned so I took 5 minutes to google and found one peer-reviewed article that I skimmed through, which got cited by other good articles, which gave me what I needed to shut OP's soda-drinking ass up. Going to college before AI made such a task easy. Then the illiterate retard here >>21631441thought he had a gotcha without actually reading the anything himself and got BTFO as well. He probably killed himself or is too embarrassed to reply anymore and admit he was wrong so he hid the thread.

Imagine seeing these prices AND there's a 20% fee in the fine print on the bottom on top of that. >but tipping isn't expected!lol what a scam I bet the portions are tinyI wonder who is falling for thisbut wait there's a video:https://youtu.be/UNudL3MMl_k
I don't see the problem with those prices.How poor are you?
>>21631403>you have to check the bottom of the menu to see if there's a surprise fee>>21631408its pretty fucking expensive>how poor are youvery
>>21631388When the restaurant uses lots of locations in their description of ingredients, they are scamming stupid rich people. Just like wine.
>>21631411Just cook at home you moneylet
>>21631411>you have to check the bottom of the menu to see if there's a surprise feeThat's not unique to that place though, that's becoming common everywhere that's not literal fast food. It fucking sucks but that's part of the Jewery you need to learn to watch for.
Thinking of growing some chilis at the moment indoors for some fun and for cooking, but I want to do some more funky varieties beyond your typical scotch or habanero. I'm tempted to go full retard and go for pure spice but I think it would be more practical for my meals if I went for stuff that is flavor over sheer hotness
>>21628134A datil pepper bush grows an absurd amount of peppers, too. Can even be picked early (green)
>>21627881thai chilis grow really well here in the desert
>>21628128>Siberian house pepper.Definitely gonna check those out, something that does well indoors and in cold weather seems like a perfect way to have homegrown peppers all year.
>>21627881Jalapenos aren't the most popular pepper on earth because they're the easiest to grow; they're just delicious. I grow and ferment the shit out of them. I grew fancy, rare, odd peppers, but it's not worth it 9 times out of 10, because there are too many of them bred for heat, and if it melts your face, you won't be able to appreciate the flavors, no matter how rich and developed they become, so what's the point?Grow Jalapenos, cayenne, tabasco...The hottest I choose to grow are either Aji Lemon Drops or Khang Starr Lemon Starbursts; after fermentation, the heat is dramatically reduced, and the citrusy flavors are indispensable in my hot sauce.
>>21627881I would strongly recommend Acrata, also known as "El viagra natural", spicy but not too much, excellent flavor both dried and fresh. The downside is that it grows a lot in height, so you're going to need a bit of room if grown indoors, but it's a very rewarding plant and needs minimal fertilization
I keep hearing vegetables are really fucking bad for you That's the carnivore dieters being retarded right ? Or is there some truth to it ? It's hard to shit bro please help Feels like I'm giving birth the the fucking Cosby kids every time I shit family...
>>21631130>Fruits and veggies (mostly) aren't bad, it's just that fruits have a lot of sugarSugar is just energy. It's associated with negative things because isolating it and trying to digest large amounts of isolated sugar is taxing on the body, but everything refined sugar is linked to, fruits are linked to the opposite due to their other nutrients and they total package they deliver. Plants are so complex that even the color pigments in a fruit influence how the sugars are digested and what effects they have on your body.
Just eat, drink, smoke, and inject whatever you want. Most people who do so are fine and live long. If you don't and die early at least you don't have to go to work anymore. I'd rather die young than be on guard for 90 years about microplastics and whatever nonsense these healthfreaks come up with "X AND Y NOW ALSO LINKED WITH CANCER"
>>21631130fruits also usually have lots of fibre that helps with digestion
>>21631397Fruits also contain proteolytic enzymes which helps break down and digest protein such as meat.The best fruits for protein digestion are papaya, kiwi fruit, pineapple, figs, mango and to a lesser degree plums, grapes and citrus.
>>21631209>higher fruit consumption is pretty much always linked to better healthThis is a bit of a chicken and egg problem. The purported health benefits of fruit are so widespread that people who are health conscious are actively opting to eat more fruit. Then studies show that people who eat more fruit are more healthy - of course they are, if people who make en effort to be healthy eat fruit then you're going to see a correlation between fruit and health. Doesn't mean the fruit are the reasonI'm not saying that fruit are bad for you, but nutrition is an extremely shoddy science that has trouble proving anything. Sure they harp on about antioxidants, but as far as I know to this day nobody has managed to prove dietary antioxidants actually reduce the population of free radicals in a living body
Just cooked up the ultimate broke meal - fried ramen with egg, garlic, and whatever sad veggies I had left in the fridge.It actually slapped way harder than expected. Anyone else got their own end-of-the-month “poverty gourmet” recipes? Drop ‘em, I need inspiration before I run out of soy sauce.
>>21629768What is the other natural flavor?
>>21629760Longtime neet, whenever I got really broke I would try to sleep as long as possible (4-5 days) as a way to time travel until I got more money for food. Sometimes my body would start to freak out shaking uncontrollably while I was out of breath and kind of in shock from all the sleeping As for what I would cook it was either pasta or fried rice with any source of protein I could find and the vegetables at the end of the fridge I had been ignoring. It often times ended in wierd flavor combinations like when. I used peanut butter instead of tomato sauce for my pasta. I don't eat fried rice anymore tho after I drunkenly made it with too much oil and burnt it and spent all night vomiting
