I was finishing a jar of extremely hot peppers (7 pot primos) that I had fermenting on Thanksgiving day. I made a hot sauce with them and cantaloupe. I had them in a pan at a low simmer to meld the flavors. The problem was the steam coming off was potent as hell. It filled the house when everyone was arriving and coughing from...
So essentially I want to buy one pan, I don’t want to care about what utensils I use in it (metal, plastic, or wood), or what I cook in it, and I want to clean it easily by just putting some soap on it, using the rough side of a sponge and drying it off and tossing it back in the cupboard....
I love cooking, and I cook every day for me and my wife (home office since 2008 helps there), and I love hearing about new things. I have the book “The Science of Cooking” which was fascinating.
I finally was able to find leeks at the grocery store for a reasonable price, since nearly every store near me has them in the “organic super food” section at $5 a stalk....
As my daughter is lactose intolerant I started to make cashew based ice cream. Now, we only eat homemade and I think it tastes better than any store bought. I still try to improve, and was wondering if there are any homemade ice cream makers here?
Hi What are your favourite cooking youtubers? on the other hand do you have some youtubers you despise or don’t understand the appeal of? I’ll be first:...
So as I understand it, virgin olive oil is made from cold pressing olives....
I have a tiny fridge so I need something I can put in my chest freezer and microwave portions of it to put in a thermos. I’m hoping for minimal prep work, though I have a Vitamix if that helps. I already eat the same thing every day, that I buy from work for 6 dollars. Not ideal. I’m thinking I can bring the soup and some...
Let’s say I decide to go to a nice restaurant for a meal. The dish comes out, and I ask for a salt shaker before I even taste it (I never have, btw). That is normally considered an insult to the chef or you are pegged as a neanderthal diner....
Turned out amazing. Followed this recipe but swapped the ground ginger for fresh ginger. https://i.imgur.com/oTgSeIN.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/roxrP9W.jpg...
So I’m pivoting away from tech, which makes money but I find incredibly soul sucking, into service. There’s a super delicious, slightly upscale ramen joint right next to my apartment building. I saw they posted something on poached looking for line cooks. I took in my resume and told the guy my story and he offered me a...
So like the post says I will have about 30+ people coming over tomorrow. I want to cook this frozen pork shoulder in the slow cooker for pulled pork sandwiches. The thing is 13 pounds. How long and what temp? Also is it even possible?
Step 1: Add a little bit of oil to taste....
I don’t like the taste of cooked raspberries, but I have a ton of raspberry plants. Here’s a few things I have tried this year:...
So, I’m obsessed with curry, it’s like half of what I eat and I love it, never get tired of it. Used to not eat vegetarian/vegan food at all due to just growing up like that....
Hey! I wasn’t too sure if this question belongs here or over in Technology but here we go....
Hello, bees! I like playing around in the kitchen, but I feel like I really have no idea what I’m doing with the fundamentals. I’m enjoying the learn-from-experience process, but am looking for something to supplement. I recently started reading / listening to Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat (by Samin Nosrat). I’m liking it so far,...
I always cook for myself alone which means I’m used to cooking just one portion, or 2 portions which I end up eating in one sitting anyway. I usually improvise my meals and my brain just seems hardwired to measure quantities for a single portion meal. Does anyone have any tips for scailing your cooking up to cook for groups?
Just want to tell you that I am glad that it is over....
I just want to know before making such a post
What I’ve found online is recipes for putting duxelles on burgers (or stuffing) or making mushroom burgers but what I want to do is mix the duxelles with the ground to make a patty mix instead. I’m not worried about the structural integrity (in that I know it won’t be great) and I’ll do them smash style in a pan. I would...
Ingredients:...
So I’ve eaten everything from sardines and toast to balut. I have never really found foods I don’t enjoy, except for Indian food…and balut but that’s a whole other story....

Let us know what you’re cooking and eating this week!
