Questions that don't deserve their own thread

Can I make croissants with duck fat or lard instead of butter?
this isn't reddit making a thread to ask an inane question isn't against the rules nor frowned upon. in fact it helps to get fast food slop threads pruned.
>>22112993That’s not true, you shouldn’t be shitting the catalogue up with asinine questions or just random pictures of rice or hot dogs or whatever. There’s plenty of slow moving general type threads that shouldn’t have to keep pace with a constant flood of low quality thread posting
>>22112993Berating people for not posting the way you want them to is childish and stupid.Go be a tranny somewhere else
>>22112968Idk the answer to this but i want to support the thread
>>22112968if it remains solid while you're folding the dough, I don't see why not>>22113037/ck/ - food & cooking
>>22113037You should ask /diy/, they have a similar general
he asked this last thread
>>22113037...how else would you do things? i thought it was common knowledge that you raise the temperature when you wake up and then lower it at night?
If I'm mostly interested in making nut butters (as cocoa nibs are expensive for myriad reasons) should I still get a melanger or is there a better option? I don't want to hand crank a manual grinder.
>>22113403a regular blender or food processor should do just fine, you don't need anything special
>>22112993if anything it's more acceptable to do that on reddit because they don't have a limited number of threads. when board real estate is limited, you should avoid making threads that aren't going to generate any discussion or will be over in a couple posts. fast food threads are shitty too, but you don't combat shit by flooding the board with even more shit.
How do I make myself cook when I don't want to do anything but have a few shots and lie in bed and try to sleep? I'm the person in my house who cooks so it has to be me
>>22113564:( Do you only live with disableds or children? I’d ask for help.To answer your question though, take the time to make some meals that are good to freeze and use those on days you don’t feel like cooking.> Chili, casserole, meatballs, burger pattiesThose are all good options to freeze. I make frozen burritos every once in a while too.
>>22113564I think that issue runs a little deeper than just being about cooking, man. You need to cut out the drinking first of all, it's only going to make whatever the problem is worse. And then you need to confront whatever is making you so depressed.But when it comes to cooking, other anon's suggestion to prepare and freeze food is good. On the days you can muster up energy, just try to prepare as much food as you can and you'll have it ready to go. My other suggestion would be to try and find an angle that makes cooking fun for you. If you just treat it like a chore that has to be completed, it's going to be difficult when you are already sapped of energy. Try to find something about it that can excite you. If you're somebody driven by self improvement, then set a goal to get really good at certain cooking skills. If you are interested in culture, then explore that through different cuisines. Or maybe the novelty of experimenting with unique ingredients and seasonal produce could do something for you. I don't think just finding a way to put less effort into cooking is necessarily the answer, although it could help on some days when you are truly drained. But I think for it to be sustainable you have to find something within cooking that gives you energy.
>>22113403I made cashew butter in a food processor. It worked but I think it really works the motor. Would suggest using a good one and not a value or cheap one.
this brush seems to have really tough bristles. is this okay on insulated water bottles with plastic liners?
what's wrong with buying frozen diced onions to use in cooking?
>>22114613more expensive, worse tasting, take way longer to cook just buy a fucking onion dude, theyre real simple to dice
>>22114619but they keep going bad before i finish the bag and i hate wasting them
are you supposed to rinse pasta after it's done cooking? i never do unless it's for pasta salad
>>22114623you dont need a whole bag, you can buy any number of onions you want i usually only get one at a time as i go to the grocery store almost everyday
>>22114624no, the hot starchy outside of recently drained pasta helps whatever sauce you use cling to it
>>22114626that's unusual
>>22114630it shouldnt be, buying real food everyday is way better than going once a week and buying a bunch of bullshit loaded with preservatives i pass several stores on my commute so no reason not to
How much could you expect to pay a service to sharpen 2 knives?
>>22114630normal for me, i live a 5min bicycle ride from a plethora of grocers. 5min walk from some corner markets with small produce sections
>>22114636depends how big the knives are
>>22114681Same, grocery store is a 3 minute drive away from work.
>>22114528is this the same anon who used this exact type of brush on his plastic lined thermos, and had the inside of it flaking off?>>22114630not reallyI buy 3 onions at a timewhat you could do is dice all the onions you get in a bag up and freeze them yourself, that way you get to control what size dice you want, plus you save a bunch of money
>>22114635>>22114721i also buy freeze dried garlic because i can't finish a clove without it going bad
>>22114636probably depends on where you live but around me it costs $7-10 per knife. just look up local knife sharpening services and see what they charge?
>>22114721>and had the inside of it flaking off?yes but i couldnt tell if it was an insane amount of coffee crust or plastic lining. it was grey plastic lining colored water debris but i had been brewing cowboy coffee in it everyday for like two years
>>22114830then it was the plastic lining you goofcoffee doesn't "crust" like that anywaystop buying cheap plastic shit, and definitely don't brew in iti am giving you the benefit of the doubt that this isn't bait
HOW DO YOU MAKE GOOD PIZZA BREAD WTF AAAHHHHHHHHHHHH
>>22114975well it's flatbread, so it's just bread and water and salt mixed into a fairly wet doughadd a pinch of yeast if you wantknead it or whatever until it stops acting like glue (lmao that's never gonna happen unless you have the gene)let it proof for like idfk 30 min-1 hour beforehand? you're just gonna roll it out into a circle so it doesn't need to be that poofy
