ITT: Post cooking opinions that will actually piss people offThe kitchen knife industry is a scam. For every single home cook, an expensive knife is nothing more than an unnecessary piece of jewelry that no one else will see. Buying a cheap knife (~10-20 USD) that is hard enough to hold an edge for more than a day is more than sufficient. You can abuse a cheap knife and keep it sharp with a shitty pull-through sharpener for a decade. You will never spend as much in replacements as you would just buying and maintaining one unnecessarily expensive knife.>inb4 someone tries to apply /out/ standards to kitchen knives as an argumentI see it every time. I will never baton wood in my kitchen. I will never shred rope for splicing. I will never need to feather wood for kindling in my kitchen.
what if a home cook needs to process whole birds or fish that require getting through bigger bones? those kiwi knives are fine for veg but will chip with bones.
Cinnamon is actually very spicy
>>21767137my knives are barely sharp. I cut carefully, have line experience, and dont give a fuck.
>>21767137Eating fresher foods with higher fat/calories is still better than eating fast food or frozen meals. Like, broccoli and cheese or brown sugar roasted b-sprouts aren’t literally the healthiest but the cheese, butter, and sugar don’t negate the benefits of the vegetable. Balance can come in the form of sugared veggies and no soda or something, and fewer calories elsewhere

>>21767432Just sharpen your shitty knife.
>>21768359>Just sharpen your shitty knife.yeah if your steel / geometry is really shit it's still a paineven beater knives in big restaurant kitchens are more in the 30-60€ range (for a chefs knife)also having someone come in to professionally sharpen your knives every week is a VERY different experience than having to sharpen them yourselvesi gladly pay 100€ more for my own knife just for the comfort of honing being enough to keep it sharp for >3months
>>21767137>ITT: Post cooking opinions that will actually piss people offI'm okay with making a slightly shittier dish if it means washing one less pot/pan.
>>21767432>a good $100 knife will stay way sharper for way longer than the $20 victorinox you get off amazon.You're missing the point. He's saying you can buy 5 victorinoxes for the price of whatever $100 knife your talking about, and no matter how shitty the $20 knives are, they will collectively outlast the one expensive knife
>>21768760...which still isn't true in the slightest. a chef's knife can last your lifetime if you take care of it properly. and no, that doesn't mean you need to be running it on a sharpening stone every day. use a honing steel semi regularly and get it freshly sharpened for 5 bucks or do it yourself like, once a year, or even every other year and it will still last decades. OP has no idea what he's talking about.

>>21768869If you live in the US there used to be a bunch of places selling rancid olive oil because the customers liked it more. There's still a bunch of adulterated oil out there but it's slowly getting better
>>21768772You haven't even lived a lifetime yet so you have no proof.
>>21768913Is that even controversial? I thought conventional wisdom was that frozen fruits and veggies are objectively better if the texture isn't super important because they're usually picked when perfectly ripe.>>21767137I'd say that your post will attract the few knife autists here, but they're already made a bunch of posts already. Either way, I think that a grippy handle, good balance, and proper shape(s) (and chip resistance if you're a new cook) are all nice features but agree that a full home knife set that does all those things admirably can be acquired for under $100.
I don't sear my chicken when I make gumbo. Also garlic from a jar is fine for soups and marinades.
>>21769096>rancid olive oil because the mutts liked it morecan't say i'm surprised
Restaurant-grade meat is routinely undercooked. They call it juicy but it's actually half-raw and watery, with the texture of silicone putty and leaking water in your mouth when chewing.I will take dry over that any day.
Rice cookers are only suitable for japs living in a pod. All others should use a pot. Air fryers are for lazy people who eat a majority of their meals from a bag. Pellet smokers don't make you a bbquer. It's an electric oven. Pasta is a side, not a main dish. Paprika is a valuable addition.

My $8 cleaver from Thailand mogs every other knife I've ever used, even my parents' $400 knife set with the magnetic wanker block.The other knives I use are a $2.50 8 inch knife from the same Thai brand, and a paring knife from the dollar store>>21767432This is just incorrect. I've never sharpened my knives and they are still the best I've ever used
>>21769584I don't care. It's easy and everything tastes great.
>>21769102no, but there is lots of proof available online of people finding their late father's knives for example and they're still sharp. I've had my current knife for about a decade already, only had it professionally sharpened twice in that time, and even at its dullest it's still better than a mall pairing knife. it's still in great shape and was only like $60. pairing knives are fine for cutting up veggies for a salad or something, but if you're doing any significant amount of cutting or cutting up large pieces of meat, a proper knife is so much better. not even just for the sharpness, but just for the size and weight of it too. they're not expensive, they're not hard to maintain. that's just a fantasy OP has concocted to feel better about himself for something.

>>21768668you can buy a knife sharpening kit that's a platform where you adjust the exact edge you want to sharpen the knife to. You can go to amazon and get a piece of leather and glue it to it a 2x4 for a shitty strop. It's really not complicated at all. Knife autism is so fucking weird.

In fact, frozen vegetables are more nutritious than fresh vegetables.

beets taste like dirt.cilantro does NOT taste like soap.being able to drink milk as an adult is a mutation (yes I can drink milk).brussel sprouts smell like rotting flesh no matter how they are cooked, steamed, boiled, grilled, or roasted.people who regularly drink alcohol only do so because they are addicts (yes including you) there are no exceptions. anyone who says otherwise is a lying moron fool/ck/ is 98% troll threads.
>>21770617>any flavor from the maillard reaction is lost in a stew or chiliIt just doesn't though. Every time I've been too lazy to sear when making stew I've regretted it because the end result is markedly worse.If you can't taste a difference I can only assume that you aren't searing properly because it's a pretty significant difference.
>>21770641beets make a good blended smooth soupabout 15% of the population has gene that makes cilantro taste offlactose intolerance exist to wean babies off mothers milk so they move onto real food, I assume some genes do play a part in how sensitive people are but also that consuming milk as a child impacts how well one tolerates lactose. brussel sprouts are just gabbage, the acrid qualities are generically hidden with normal cooking methods like boiling and then cooking in butterpeople can have habitual addictions where they're not physically feeling ill from the body being depired off a chemical its used to, kinda like how weed or video game addictions workCK is full of troll posters that mods somehow tolerate when people would genuinely want to discuss cooking related topics without them.

>>21770666>without having to again heat my whole oveni'm always surprised about the shitty ovens people have on a supposedly cooking forummy oven needs like <5min to 200°C, 3-4min for 180°Cit's just a (relatively new) standard Miele ovenunless you care about the few cents of electricitythere's very little reason to use an air fryer
>>21770705I have a gas oven. The issue is not the time it takes to get to temperature just that using it to just reheat some slices of pizza probably isn't worth it compared to the Kwh of just using a air fryer to do it. The air fryer is just simply faster in this regard. On top of that my house retains heat quite well so I avoid using the oven in the summer months unless baking bread or broiling. I try to save long oven use time recipes for the fall and winter months that way the heat produced by my oven will passively heat my house and I can opt not to turn on my heater.
I leave my butter out on the countertop and never put it in the fridge. Butter repels bacteria anyway and never goes bad.
>>21767137>an expensive knife is nothing more than an unnecessary piece of jewelry that no one else will see.there is nothing wrong with enjoying nice aesthetics, anon. It becomes unsavoury when the aesthetic is money and people buy shit just because it's expensive. But on the flip side the pursuit of quality is something we all share and it brings out the best in us. Using knives that another human being has put effort into it's quality becomes inspiration for one's own work. Communism is a concrete box, consumerism is cancer. The pursuit of quality, in all aspects of life is what determines our existential worth as human beings.
>>21770614The real way salt can fuck you up is that either:You get dehydrated, which is bad for your entire body.Your kidneys need to work harder, which can be a problem.Too much salt wears you out. Exercise and staying hydrated can help that.

Good fast food (chic fil a, wendy's, etc.) is better than homemade food, even if you use primo ingredients.this isn't even factoring in time or effort. You can spend all day making the fussiest fanciest fried chicken sando possible and it'll still get mogged.

>>21767137i've managed to get by with just a small toaster oven for a lot of my meals and it's been perfect. an absolute must for reheating breaded items like fried chicken or fried fish. my best tip is cutting a large frozen pizza in half with scissors and saving the other half for later. also do not cook something extremely greasy or the coil will ignite on fire, always keep the coils clean.I guess I rotate between a frying pan on the stove, microwave, and toaster oven. I have no reason to use a large oven. what am I going to make in there anyway, a turkey? a fourth option I guess would be a slowcooker for stew meats or similar. i've never done that before but I see myself doing that eventually.

>>21771326>it was reddit who echoed "it's good food, who cares how it's cooked" and promoted pellets you retard. Plenty of bbq fourms tell ezbakers to fuck off. I bet you enjoy diversity because of 'muh food'. Then in that case anyone who doesn't use a smoker thats a big pig iron bin thats grandfathered into a restaurants fire code isn't doing real bbq. Get real and get with the times even old heads aren't this obstinate and I'm sure many professional pitbosses probably have some smaller more accessible set up at home. Newsflash pal doing traditional smoked bbq is a royal pain in the ass and compared to modern methods there's very little difference in taste. BBQ mainly comes down to wood and meat. Thats fucking it. You want to make an argument that pellets don't produce an optimal flavor compared to fresh wood. Okay yeah I could humor that but saying "its not real BBQ" is just being a pretentious faggot.
>>21771550you should boil all gabbages for a couple min before further using themit removes dirt, pesticides, microplastics and kills micro organisms. In some case it can help maintain bright green color.
>>21768869That’s because it isn’t meant to be cooked with. It’s a serving/table oil.

>>21767137>Buying a cheap knife (~10-20 USD) that is hard enough to hold an edge for more than a day is more than sufficient. You can abuse a cheap knife and keep it sharp with a shitty pull-through sharpener for a decade. You will never spend as much in replacements as you would just buying and maintaining one unnecessarily expensive knife.Cosmic brain is realising that serrated steak knives can do 99.99% of work a person cooking in the home needs.

>>21772299marinading does change the flavor with the spices that remaind on the meat that gets eaten, you dont need that much, but it is a surface thingbrining means salting the meat and there salt does penetrate the meat fully using osmosis, sugar can do it too and salting does change the texture and how juicy the meat feels when eaten
This is fine. Especially if you like to pressure cook pasta (uses less water, much faster, tastes perfect every time).

>>21767171I prefer a dull knife for most veggies. For hard veggies I use a "twisting" motion instead of brute pressure (like with carrots and potatoes) Yes I cut most of my veggies in my hand into something I'm cooking.
>>21767428>We invented boiled dough.
>>21772093It's also good for baking. I use it to stir fry veggies sometimes, if the contact time is low for what I'm cooking.
>>21772218I have never had butter go bad. I only leave butter outside of the fridge. Sometimes for months. Can't do this if your butter is unsalted.
>>21771069My capers container says that 16% of my daily sodium is 4 capers. Not that I believe my capers label or anything.
>>21771053That's how you know he's blessed and not just projecting blessedness
>>21771033No Parmesan? No meat in your sauce? Haram. Most pasta dishes are sides I agree. Maybe Mac n cheese is a dish sometimes when lazy.
I thought of a better one maybe. Sous vide is unappealing because of the plastic bag use
>>21773114really? it for sure gets an off taste after a couple months. i guess that only happened to me with land o lakes butter and not good butter though
>>2177375790% of all restaurants use sous vide and/or microwave in plastic.
A standard kitchen knife is good for 90% of what you'll be cutting in the kitchen, and okay, but substandard for 9% more. You can get by with just that, but adding a small knife, a boning knife and a long, straight swordlike knife to your arsenal will improve your cooking capabilities imensely. You should also have a cleaver and a bonesaw for when you butcher an animal youself or otherwise bring home a big leg of meat.
>>21773119Yeah but I'm pretty sure you are supposed to rinse capers before use.
>>21773757Sous Vide is unappealing because its a fucking meme. Plastics aside (which I agree on), sous vide is just better at a restaurant level in order to control consistency and just finish on a grill for color. I've had a sous vide steak and it was so fuckin average. I swear your fats are not rendering properly in a sous vide vs cooking on a grill or pan because a sous vide steak always tastes a degree of muted
>>21774500sous vide is best for chicken
>>21774504Sous vide is best for taking frozen meat and turning it into cooked meat without waiting hours for it to defrost. I almost only ever use mine to cook frozen steak/chicken/pork chops straight from frozen.
People on the internet get too precious about food safety because they want to LARP professional chefs that have to follow stricter guidelines for mass consumption. Storing raw meat and cooked meat on the same shelf will not get you sick. Neither will leaving out raw meat on the counter for half an hour, or cooked dishes for a couple hours, or rinsing a fish fillet in the sink.There's a broad difference between practical food safety and outright hypochondria.
>>21774597I'm going to try and not be pendantic because I understand the general point of what your saying. Honestly when it comes to raw meat saftey about the only thing you need to keep seperate is chicken. Raw chicken does need to be handled with care. Pork and beef are generally fine to excercise some degree of being lax on.
>>21767137>Buying a cheap knife (~10-20 USD) that is hard enough to hold an edge for more than a day is more than sufficient. You can abuse a cheap knife and keep it sharp with a shitty pull-through sharpener for a decade.This is simple common sense. Any guy with a japanese fancy knife, a sharpening stone or worse several knives is a fucking autist.
>>21770649I am searing properly, it does not matter in a stew or chili. you are wrong.
>>21771013this is all wrong.
>>21767432>>21768668
>>21771051
>>21768772anything lasts a lifetime if you take care of it dipshit. what a fucking vapid statement.
>>21775016Sharpening a knife removes metal. If you need to sharpen a knife constantly to keep it sharp it will not last a lifetime. Pull through sharpeners can use up a knife in years where whetstones would take a decade or longer.
>>21773084troll, right?if not, try "slicing"
>>21767137How would you put that fire out? Could you invert another wok over it like a lid or is that too much flame?
>>21769911This. I have a $6 chef knife I bought at Walmart over ten years ago. It's my go to. I have more expensive Mercer knives. But the cheap motherfucker works the best.
>>21772711>pressure cook pasta
>>21776612is there any food you technically cant pressure cook?outside of like whipped cream or such
>>21767137Canola oil is healthy for you and is the best general-purpose cooking oil.
>>21776599You dont, just turn off the gas and let the vent hood handle the rest if its even a fire and not intentional with the picture taken at just the right time
>>21769331Extremely based>>217710141,5 dl water per 1 dl rice0,5 tbsp butter per 1 dl riceGood pinch of saltStart boil, drop temp to lowest, stir ONCE, put on a tight lidCook 20 minutes, rest 5, fluff with fork
>>21767151Depends on the species, there are several and some are genuinely spicy while others are mild.
>>21768686I do this often. Not always, but often.
>>21769331>Paprika is a valuable addition.I can be mad about the others but anyone who gets mad about this has never had fresh paprika. Fresh paprika adds lots of great flavour, I use it almost every time with roasted meats.
>>21774597>>21774992Food safety is based on the "better safe than sorry" principle. It's not a big deal to put food away after cooking instead of letting it sit on the counter for hours, and even if 99% of the time it's fine, that 1% that causes problems will not be worth it.
>>21767137Male on futa is gay
>>21777602not reallyyour sexuality relies on secondary sexual features, eg, not the genitals but instead the shape of the body, how they smell, sound, feel to judge a suitable partnera woman fucking you cant be gay
>>21767151In what way?
>>21767428....Did it work?
>>21772711i tend to make spaghet sauce last about a week and to make good spaghet you really have to boil it fresh for the meali have a little 10 oz pan i like to boil pasta in for singular meals and you kinda have to crack it in half to fit in thereit only makes sense, the regular spaghet experience is getting 50% of the noodles on your fork into your mouth and letting the rest fall back on the plate anyway.
>>21772723>+15 minutes to get the water to a boillol
>>21771033Live, laugh, love
>>21767137i second this. i've used a 30-40 euros victorinox chef's knife (21cm blade) in the kitchen, stropped it after the end of each shift. zero problems. cut the tomato (with peel) paper thin. needed nothing else
>>21779065>30-40 euros for a vicHoly shit you got scammed my dude.
I love sushi but I hate eating fish.Everyone gets mad when I tell them that. I just hate the texture/taste/Smell of cooked fish
>>21771032I microwave and then turn on the broiler function in my microwave to give it texture.
>>21771069why are your car keys in every picture? This isn't /o/
>>21771780you need some snackos in you
>>21779136BMW owners are required by law to let everyone know that they drive a BMW, kinda like chimos when they move into a new neighborhood.
