the rice lied to me and I overcooked the bottom of it
>>21814716at least the top was still edible no?This chicken going straight for chicken soup tomorrow
>>21814721I’m going to eat the bottom too because that’s the only way I’ll learn.
I am not the best at peeling hard boiled eggs.
>>21814728lol>>21814736if its for you its not a big deal, but yeah some eggs are hard to peel
I never fuck up my cooking to this extent. When I mess up I might not salt it enough or forget to add an ingredient. That chicken could only be made by someone who doesn’t understand how to cook.
>>21814712Once I spent a couple hours making a sauce - not counting the time to make the basic stock, of course. I'd gotten the recipe from a master chef I know and I'd practiced it. I'd bought all the ingredients specifically. I was exceptionally careful, it was a delicate operation. When I was serving up to the family gathering, I brought the plates to the table first, then returned to get the sauce to spoon over them. During that time, my dear old dad had helped me clean up by tipping my sauce down the sink.
>>21814746I'm pretty decent at cooking, I just didnt thought this through, should have just fried it.
>>21814712What a miserable thread. I bet you're impotent, OP.
>>21814752not as miserable as you
I once misread a key lime pie recipe and 4x’d the amount of juice. I tried saving off the filling in the freezer and using it like a sorbet, but that shit was completely inedible.
>>21814750Did you call him a fucking retard?
>>21814855I was incandescently angry but I gritted my teeth and smiled - no worries, stuff happens, you didn't mean to, etc. I've apparently repressed the memory since then, I didn't even recall it at all until this thread.
>>21814750very unfortunate
>>21814712How?
>>21814974Decided to bake instead of fry, very stupid idea.
>>21814998But when I bake chicken it comes out fine I'm so confused as to how you fucked it up so bad
>>21814712Just look at any cook along thread if you want to see people fuck up food
>>21814712I tried making fried calzones with dough that was too wet and soft (basically standard high hydration pizza dough instead of something drier and firmer).Ended up basically making amorphous blobs of meat, sauce, cheese, and dough that almost exploded in the fryer. After the first couple I just gave up and made a shitty pizza out of it all.
>>21815049well he didnt use a rack and his chicken was too wet so it stuck to the paper, rookie mistake...
Made a big thing of stock and went to strain it through a colander over the sink. Halfway in I realize somethings not right here.
>>21814712One time when I was about 13, my dyslexia kicked in and I put cayenne in a pumpkin pie instead of cinnamon. It was spicy, but I learned that sweetened condensed milk could make a cat turd taste good.
>>21815742lel
>>21814736No one is going to address the COLOR of that fucking egg?
>>21814712"shake and bake" has never worked as it's supposed to. But that looks extra awful. How did you even achieve that?
>>21814750Honest mistake I'm sure but it must have stung.
>>21814759This. There's no call for posts so vile.
>>21815301lol, no. Most people who do step-by-step tutorials here know more than the average bear I've found.
>>21814712didn't strain pasta before adding sauce
>>21815970KYS, child molester. Your posts are bad and you should feel bad.
>>21815979That's a fortnite character aged 25i'm 18 anyway
>>21815957its one of those soy sauce soaked eggs I presume
>>21815959au contraireI shake n bake constantly. I'm never considering deep frying in my own kitchen since I know I can just do this
>>21814736It's not you it's the egg. I batch cook 12 soft boiled eggs often all in the same pan sometimes you just have a few of those stickers in there while the others peel perfect.
>>21814736>>21814742>>21816340Hard-boiled eggs are not difficult to peel. Softer eggs can be troublesome, but if you're having trouble peeling a hard-boiled egg you're doing it wrong. Crack it, roll it, peel it. It's like you're saying you have trouble peeling a banana.
>>21816619Those soy soaked eggs are not supposed to be hard boiled.
>>21814712i once had a tomato and wanted to roast it like i'd roast any of my vegetablesi, like an animal, don't like waste so i'd slice veggies up, drizzle them with oil and salt/spices, then throw them straight on an aluminum baking trayi put the tomato slices directly on the aluminum baking trayi roasted thosethen i ate themi could not get the taste of metal out of my tongue, nose, and brain for weeksi can still immediately recall what it tastes like and it makes my brain shiver like i'm holding a tab of acid
>>21816623So he's doing two things wrong
>>21814736A tip I heard, and stick to now, is boil the water first. Don't put them in cold water and let the water heat up etcThe blistering heat causes the shell and membrane to separate (vapour??) . Easy peeling every time.
>>21815957Some eggs are white, some are brown. Science... gotta be
>>21818341Yeah, but that's the *shell*. The "white" is always white.
>>21816644Like an animal? What do you even mean you don't like waste? How is roasting tomatoes usually wasteful?
>>21818389I have eyes, that's a brown egg
>>21816644Tomatoes are naturally acidic>acid + metal>add heatBaking paper, or a non-stick/well seasoned pan would be a better approach next time
>>21816659why, those eggs are tasty
Anyone tried a century egg?It's on my bucket list
>>21818399Fuck you, retard. There are no eggs that cook up brown in the middle. He boiled it in coffee or soy sauce or something weirder. SHELLS come in different colors and YOLKS come in different colors but whites are always white. And if not, something is very wrong. But that'd be greenish or something, not dark brown.
>>21818488>There are no eggs that cook up brownOh sweet summer child, it's a big world out there
>>21818532And in that big world there are no eggs that are brown inside. The person boiled the brown egg in dark liquid. Are you just going to keep digging yourself deeper like a stubborn idiot?
>>21818563You seem quiet able to do that on your own without my, or your mothers, assistance.
>>21814736Unironically adding vinegar to the boiling water helps a lot. I never had too much trouble, always had the patience to just do it well. Adding vinegar makes it so i barely even had to try. Also, if you prick the wide bottom of the egg that helps too.>>21818488>>21818532You’re both being retards. He hardboiled normal eggs, and then marinated them in soy sauce or something similar.
>>21818642and if he boiled the water first, before carefully lowering the eggs, he could have peeled them easier after cooking.... whatever eggs they be
>>21818642I never bothered adding vinegar to a shelled egg. Poached, obviously. And the dumbfuck's talking about hardboiled eggs, which are about as easy to peel as picking your nose. Are you saying adding vinegar to the pot makes it easier to peel a softly boiled egg?
>>21814751I'd eat.Holy suck I grew up on Shake 'n Bake and it was the worst ungodly dry experience you could ever have.And my Dad's roast beef? Cooked for 8 hours at 350. Gravy was the only saving grace.I didn't know roast beef or steaks (or chicken) can taste they way they do until I was like 16.
>>21818339that sounds like a recipe for cracked eggs
>>21818758It absolutely is. It's still considered best practice because it gives maximum control over how cooked the eggs are, but "so it's easier to peel" is not how I would have put it.
>>21818688Yes, add vinegar to the pot of water.And I get it, I always thought it was easy enough but have a bf that sucks at it. He wanted to try some of the tricks online and it actually made it easier, I didn't think it would do anything
>>21818783I'll try it, thanks. Deeply suspicious but it'll be egg on my face if it works. There was probably a joke to be made there but I'm tired
>>21818758I take the eggs out of the fridge and warm them in my hand like an autist while the water comes to a boil, then gently drop each egg in the water with tongs. I haven't cracked an egg since I started doing this. Also I turn the heat down a little so the water is not at a violent boil when the eggs go in.
>>21818734I don't know what shake n bake is fren, is this when you put them in a tupperware with crumbs and shake it?
>>21814712I made roast in the slow cooker.Used too much beef broth and not enough salt.It was bland and awful, even with all the veggies also in the pot. The gravy saved it, thankfully.
>>21818846Or just a bag. It was always a bag in the old 90s commercials.
>>21818846>>21818877Exactly.Boxes you buy at the grocery store that had bread crumbs and a bag to shake it in. Although when I imaged search the new packages are saying no plastic shaker to reduce plastic waste, WTF?Like the only good memory I have of this chicken is getting to shake the fucking bag then it went in the oven and I ate burnt dried chicken and they even took that away.Jesus, this world.Anyways, I'm sure it was much nicer if the chicken was actually FRIED in some grease and got some crisp to it. For me, there was no pre-wash to get the chicken wet to soak up the breading. It was out of the packaging and into the bag. And the chicken was always already on discount cuz that's how my Dad rolled so maybe it had a little slime to it.Always money for cigarettes tho!
>>21819036I see, I do it with panko>>21814751 when it's only wings. They are by far the best bread crumbs.
>>21818831Hmm. I'm genuinely interested, but you keep your eggs in the fridge like a maniac/american, so how can I possibly trust you?
>>21819101>I trust people who DON'T refrigerate their eggs. That's smarter. lol
Completely ruined a Turkey by frying WAAAAAY the fuck too long.It just wasn't getting up to temperature.By the time I caught on that the thermometer was no good, it was much too late.
My mom was about to pull a roast out at 117 and I freaked out because in my mind that's no where near cooked, and, yeah, I just royally fucked up that particular holiday by telling her to keep it in the oven until it hit 130
>>21819885If you think you need to chill your eggs, you're American or dumb. Americans do need to chill their eggs, other people don't. If you don't understand why, educate yourself.
>>21820294Even if I lived in France I'd just feel more comfortable eating 3 week old eggs if they'd been refrigerated that whole time. Call me crazy! lolThere's really no harm in this. That's the baffling part of you eurotrash getting upset about it. I can set eggs out a few hours before baking. But you're only preserving eggs by keeping them cool. You're also keeping them out of harms way where they may get knocked over and break. I'm quite sure even where you live it's not like everyone just leaves eggs out for days and days because it probably won't kill them. We live in modern times. I've heard of leaving your beers out warm, but in practice not a lot of you people actually do that with eggs.
>>21820423I'm not upsetI have trouble occasionally with eggs cracking. Anon talked about warming his eggs in his hand before adding them to the water. But he chills them to begin with. So it's dubious advice.I leave them in a ceramic egg tray on the shelf, they'd be just as fine in the fridge except cold. It's not an issue either way really, it's just unnecessary.>I'm quite sure even where you live it's not like everyone just leaves eggs out for days and days because it probably won't kill themSee you're acting like there's some minor health risk I'm just ignoring but there's not - everyone absolutely leaves their eggs out for days and days, it's a complete and total non-issue unless you're in the USA where, I'm told, eggs get washed at the farm. You're taking what I'm sure is perfectly sensible advice where you live, or that you've heard from Americans, and projecting it to where it doesn't apply.
>>21820194I get it bro, I have become such a dick since I learned how to cook, had many fights with my ex because of that and also started telling my mom how not do to things, I need to chill out seriously...
>>21820459I don't think even back before refrigeration that eggs just kept indefinitely at any temperature. What's hatching time? Once they're designated as food eggs how long can they really be safely edible? As someone who doesn't refrigerate them have you ever even had an egg go bad? Is there no general rule of thumb for it? Seriously no one refrigerates eggs and they aren't cold at the stores or delivery trucks or anything? How does that work? If something has been refrigerated I wouldn't then leave it out after. I'd keep it cold until it was gone. That's what they teach in the U.S. for proper temp control. I know, I know.. you guys are so advanced you don't need such silly and unnecessary rules because of your superior unwashed warm eggs.
>>21820484Not indefinitely, no. I've never had an egg go bad. You're probably looking at about two weeks before you want to chuck your eggs, assuming they were fresh when you got them, which is longer than eggs stay uneaten in my house. I've eaten two week old eggs that were fine. You yourself should not do this, obviously, and I don't leave them on a sunny windowsill, but if they're not washed room temperature storage is appropriate.>What's hatching time?Food eggs are unfertilised, y'know? We're not over here eating chicken foetuses.
>>21820491>y'knowKYSEggs last a month in the fridge. Checkmate, Nigel.
>>21820502I guess eggs MIGHT last a month unrefrigerated, barely, I've never had the need to try. Are you eating month old eggs? I wouldn't do that, fridge or not.It's not some anti-American thing. I gather you've got endemic diseases in your flocks that make it safer to wash then chill. We don't have to do that, so we don't - that's all.
>>21820423>brit.pngkek
>>21814712ummm lol, idk if this counts but. One time i got completely wasted. Put in a shitty pizza in the oven.....you can probably tell where this is going. Anyway. i guess i blacked/passed out on my bed. Next thing I know is there is a fire fighter yelling at my in my bedroom to wake up. That scared the fuck out of me. My upstairs neighbor called the fire department because she smelled smoke. Pizza was literal charcoal. The worst part was the firefighters kicked in my door. Had to replace the whole frame and door...which i did on my own because i knew a handy man and didnt want to get kicked out of my apartment at the time.
>>21814712i guess trying to make blue cheese "dressing" To dip my spicy chicken wings in. I only had mayo and blue cheese. mix some together in a little bowl with a tad bit of water..... it was the shit at the time because I was drunk. put the rest in the fridge for next day...tasted it....omfg, it was SO bad. I guess i decided to add salt to it or something but it was like a salt bomb
>>21818339this is how I do itI also chill the eggs at the end but just by running cold tapwater over them rather than fucking with ice. I go through a lot of boiled eggs and I haven't had unpeelable shells in forever. That said I remember going through a lot of methods and old wive's tales about boiled egg tricks and I did get some totally effortless eggs where you basically just wipe the shell off in one motion, but eggs into boiling water + chill at the end is very consistently pretty easy peels and I'm not doing shit like wasting tons of acid or labor.
