Any tips/tricks to make some bomb ass fried chicken? I tried making some over the weekend and it was just, meh. I assume I need to add WAY more amount and variety of spices. I did plain ap flour, egg wash, then flour with spices. I only had salt, pepper, garlic and onion powder. Bonus points for favorite sides.
>>22018767is the chicken not supposed to still be wet from the marinade before doing the first dredge?
>>22018771Pat it dry with a paper towel. The marinade should penetrate into the meat. The excess is what caused the breading to fall off.
>>22018543I did, alot. I am happy about it.
>>22018771You are supposed to let excess drip off quickly before you put it in the dredge, but a little extra moisture helps to get those little bits that form that cornflake like texture. Press that flour on it good and roll it around to get it to develop. Watch how he does it in that first youtube video posted.
>>22018774If you are going for that extra crispy coating you go in wet then sit it on a wire rack for 10-15 min before frying and it turns into almost a batter.
reminder that if you eat sour candy you should not brush your teeth for an hour afterwards. the acidity softens your tooth enamel and brushing causes it to be removed entirely. instead, rinse your mouth with a baking soda solution to neutralize the acidity then rub a thin layer of toothpaste over your teeth. the fluoride will help strengthen your enamel, and after the hour waiting period you are safe to brush off any remaining sugar
okay thanks
I only brush my teeth when I leave the house so like once or twice a week if that. I'm good
>>22018792you’re welcome!!!!!!>>22018793you should maybe do it a little more often than that anon
Where can I get basic bitch uncoated stainless steel pots and pans that don't cost several hundred dollars? My mother has destroyed yet another "non-stick" pan, this time it was a "ceramic" GreenPan™. She refuses to touch cast iron, claims it's too much trouble to clean and maintain. She needs something that can survive being brutalized by high heat, metal utensils, and general incompetence. Plain stainless steel is the only thing I can think of that fits the bill.
>>22016397Stainless steel doesn't give a shit what you do with it. It's the least fragile kind of pot you can own.You are probably thinking of cast iron.>>22017064Just use a nonstick pan/pot if you need it to be nonstick. Stainless is great for dishes where you deglaze anyway like stews and sauces. Different tools for different applications.
>>22016825Nigga I'm ain't Richie Rich.
>>22016005yeah this. i bought a bunch of kitchen supplies in 2015 and all them are still functioning perfectly. you can even buy those fancy restaurant rubber spatulas
>>22015983I bought a tramontina stock pot, happy with the quality, about half the price of all clad

>>22011168all cheese except acid cheese needs a little helper to add enzymes so it can transformin the case of casu marzu, the little helper is the cheese fly and the enzymes come from its excretions
>>22013322this reminds me, does anyone knows the name of a documentary(?) from the 80s-90s that talked about negro behaviorI just a remember a part where some black dude is buying a hat and the narrator says what the negro want is to get recognition and status
>>22015843Nah, not that one. But I think it's the same fish.
>>22011603Wizardry is afoot
>>22010518I've definitely had this at potlucks. 40 year old super christian mothers go apeshit for this type of stuff.
Eat babies.... clam babies.
>>22018467Erotic
gross.. probably farmed in some sewerage infested bangkok harbor.
>>22018510By tranny harbor workers?
You have to eat ALL the babies.
>>22018459I'd eat her clam, if you know what i am meaning
Imagine culturally identifying through the food you eat
>>22018599No one in chicago actually cares unless you’re at some overpriced tourist trap, also who gives a shit
>>22018599This is the type of hostile mindset that causes millennial manbun burger joints to shut down within months of opening.
>>22018599>walk in with my holster which carries my ketchup. Ask for a bottle of ketchup with my hotdog. The service worker looks at me confused and says that they don't carry it. Sit back down on my chair. Then immediately stand up and pull out my bottle, squeezing and firing everywhere like a mad man. Sit back down and take a bite out of hotdog. Only to realize that I hit everyone except the hotdog...
>>22018650I once went to a touristy bar & grill on vacation, and there was a giant sign stating>WE SELL ABSOLUTELY NO MACROBEERS! NO BUDWEISER! NO YUENGLING! NO MILLER! NO COORS!All they had were 'craft' beers. I wonder what the odds are that they're still in business.
>>22018745there is a wide enough variety of craft beer that you can still have your $4 american pilsner, light beer, and mexican lager analogues on tap for anyone who wants a budlight or corona or whatever. but i bet they were gay about it and just had ipas and obscure sours.
Do you wear gloves while cooking?
yes
>>22018303no lol
>>22018602what good do gloves do if you're going to eat it after handling?
No, I just incel rinse
>>22018311Acrylonitrile gloves are fine for everything except dichloromethane, chloroform or acetone. Little to nothing (in reference to plasticizers incorporated into the polymer) is going to leach onto foods on contact.Latex gloves id stay away from for food contact applications as they often have a light coating that will get onto everything. They're also useless in the laboratory The shitty LDPE/HDPE transparent gloves are not that different from food packaging materials. Not necessarily saying they're safe but they pose little to no risk of anything
what are somethings you can do with hot dog when you dont have hot dog bun? i made a beany joe

>>22018461is this korea's idea of a joke?
>>22018469It's the Korean version of that crazy Mexican street food slop
>>22018469it definitely seemed like that when I ordered it for the first time (the menu description didn’t say “spam and hot dogs”)but they got to liking American canned food when we were over there beating back the commies, I guess
After 2 days of home fermenting sourdough bread: over 97% of the gluten is gone, over 90% of antinutrients are destroyed, over 75% FODMAPs digested, and over 40% amylase-trypsin inhibitors reduced. They do not want you knowing about this. They instead want you eating their gluten-free slop with chemicals and soy.
>>22017593
fermentation reduces gluten content
>>22017872it tastes and feels like thick pizza crust but a bit sour. its fine.
>>22017956Try this: mix 27g of plain flour with 73g of cornstarch and 100ml of water and bake it then tell us the results. That mixture is exactly what a 97% gluten-reduced dough would be like.Until you do that, I'm going to call malarkey on the claim that it bares even the most distant resemblance to "thick pizza crust" because that's exactly what it is: malarkey. Nonsense. Bullshit. Silliness. Asshattery. Fiction. Outside the bounds of reality.

>>2200901220 Mad Cow Disease Ribeyes? What a steal!
>>22009610With flaps like that, she’s desperate
>>22017733The U.S. doesn't have a mad cow disease epidemic, and never has. The surveillance system is so thorough that other countries refuse to import our beef because we detect basically every case of it, unlike them. It's kind of hilarious actually.
>>22017733Isn’t that the Argentina meat?
Why does beer make me fall asleep? I drink all kinds of alcohol but beer and only beer makes me pass out and I don't mean black out drunk but sleepy. I have 3 bottles and I start dozing off
>>22017505That's not a good type of drunk. You were just abusing your body and getting blacked out while failing to maximize the experience >Carbs make you tired and bloated. Alcohol is a type of carb. Wine and cocktails are full of sugar as well. >Even worse if you are allergic to themYou're "allergic to carbs"? Obviously you have very limited to no understanding of this subject. But keep drinking your "24 cans of cheap shit" I suppose
>>22017179lol a drinker made this chart in a desperate attempt to not fuck up again.im not sure a good chart exists, though a general unitless chart like this might be generally useful.>>22017505not the recommended dosage lol 3 sixpacks. do you start drinking at 4 pm?
>>22013988if it's just beer and nothing else (not even stuff like hard cider or something carb-heavy like bread) then it may be some kind of psychosomatic effect. it happens.
>>22015365>>22017466I'm not op but probably something along this line. I get sleepy from 0,25l of beer, (half an aluminum can), and also get sleepy from certain pizzas lately if I eat too much (when its too oily/fatty or the dough thick and fresh). I'm starting to worry because no matter what I eat I'll suffer later, simple pains, bloating, pissing much, constipation/diarrhea, never something normal. I'd guess early diabetes and also "complete gastro failure" - as in every process and organ sucks a little and doesn't to its job as it should. Don't know how americans do it, I'm not even overweight. But at least I'm at no risk of becoming an alcoholic, I'll fall asleep before damaging my liver further.
>>22013988>>22018530>I get sleepy from 0,25l of beer, (half an aluminum can), and also get sleepy from certain pizzas lately if I eat too much>>22015365>you are prediabetic.This. I've been managing my diabetes with the keto diet for nine years now. Whenever I get lax and my diabetes worsens, I start falling asleep after eating carbs, e.g., peanut butter on an apple.Then I have to be strict again for a few months to try to unfuck my metabolism.
The great debate
>>22014713If you grate it, you'll end up clogging your drains when you wash your butter grater.
>>22014706Can anyone explain why anyone would use margarine over butter? Neither are healthy, so when somebody wants to use them, one should only use it in moderation, like mashed potatoes, baked goods, or for finishing sauces - none of which are healthy nor meant to be. So why would you use margarine when butter tastes better? It's like if you used sugar all the time and suddenly switched to honey and now you think it's all healthy - well it isn't!
>>22018184better than whatever shithole you slither around in, I bet.
>>22018322Price. Margarine is much cheaper than budder. Convenience and laziness is the secondary factor. Many people find it easier to use a margarine spread than to fuss with budder sticks.
>>22014973butter doesn't mold unless you're a pig and you leave a bunch of food particles in it when you scrape some off.
I bought all the Chinese stuff. What do I do now?
>>22017319i was looking at induction woks but i thought an important aspect of the wok shape was that the bottom is curved. if you're telling me that doesnt really matter that much then I'll just get an induction wok because it would probably be easiest to get, clean, and store.
the local butcher/rancher had some pastured pork belly so i picked up a chunk to use for hong shao rou tomorrow. somewhat concerned that they trimmed too much fat and skin off the top, but it may just be because it's a smaller cut than I'm used to seeing from factory pigs. hopefully it'll taste good anyway.>>22017322that sounds great. do you use any specific type of oil or specific peppers? it'd be great to have some always on hand and not be beholden to old grandma
one last blogpost to say thanks for all the tips. i made red cooked pork. took a little while to cook down but overall very easy, and it turned out really good. wouldnt have even known about this dish without you guys. preciate ya pal
Twice-cooked pork (Hui guo rou) is one of my favourite dishes in the world and pretty easy once you have all the jars/bottles. You just need to find some proper pixian doubanjiang (which is also in mapo tofu, not hard to make the sauce from scratch).
>>22018669looks good, will try. I'll be sure to try and find some decent doubanjiang next time
currently simmering some shortribs in brine. what kinds of herbs should i add?
>>22016505no. i have a pot i've chucked them in to simmer and that's it. best i can do is frying them in a pan after
>>22016286tarragon maybe?
>>22016286>shortribspfffft! those aren't short ribs.these are short ribs.
>>22016286Did you finish your ribs
>>22018404yes. put them on some bread with some red onion, ate them then drunk the stock. now i have diarrhea
Be careful out there, bros
