Dalgona, aka bbopki, aka honeycomb toffee In Korea a street vendor would make them with shapes pressed into them like a star or heart. If you could pop out the shape cleanly then the vendor would usually give you a second one free In Squid Game, one of the death games is doing this with armed guards ready to shoot you if you messed up

Please do, and link it here please! I love making honeycomb, though usually I aim for the lower end where it gets much taller / airy so I'd like to see something about the more caramelized thin style.

It's kind of cheating, but- given that the month is half over already, how about "Forums > Discussion > Kitchen Nightmares IRL"?

My work has a health nut who toaster ovens fish in his office 2-3 times a week for breakfast.... Also often has it for lunch, and is always drinking turmeric smoothies. Got a promotion this spring that moved me away from outside of his office, back to next to our vehicle bay doors. It's a loving improvement to sit 20 feet from where 40 garbage trucks park. (I herd city garbage truck drivers)

Decided to make some sour mix because I've never been a huge fan of the commercial stuff with all the sugar and neon green etc. Squeezed about 8 lemons and 8 limes, sans citrus juicer (no I don't have a good reason for not owning one), and got about 3-4 cocktails out of it. I realize its on me to do the math of 1 cp juice + 1 1/3 cup syrup = an absolute bullshit amount of mix but I'm still salty about it. Anyway, what's a good brand of commercial sour mix with a high level of sour?

Just juice to order, OP. Unless you really like the taste of artificial / real-but-tons-of-preservatives sour mix, the quality difference with fresh is huge. If you do prefer the flavor of sour mix, I'd also recommend making oleo saccharum which is distinct, flavorful without being as sour as fresh juice, and can be added alongside citrus juice or in recipes which call for it. I guarantee you think it's worth the effort.

Plus oleo saccharum sounds like some kind of vile discharge so you can gross out your guests

Anyway, what's a good brand of commercial sour mix with a high level of sour? Just get one of these. It took me about 5 minutes to get 2 cups of juice last time I did lemon bars. I was getting a solid 1/4cup from each mediocre lemon. Just zest first, and put the citrus halves in upside down.

I must say I was convinced by the "don't marinade, nothing penetrates but salt and acid" camp for quite some time but this guy has changed my mind. Like I always knew salt and acid did something (see buttermilk chicken) but now I will legit flavor my meats a day in advance, with more than just a dry brine. Neat. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rz1X0RP3Mfw Have I been taken for a fool again or does this seem as legit to you as it does to me?

The quality difference is amazing, but the amount of fruit : number of cocktails ratio is economically unsound. I'm not making sour mix because I'm drinking good whiskey. Punch may be the solution here. I still have a healthy amount of lemons and limes left, so I'll give it a try. Doom Rooster posted:Just get one of these.

Its on the christmas list, or something similar I guess, I think you forgot the link. Hopefully it helps with my fruit : cocktail problem.

If you still bitch and moan after using one of those $15 ones you can get a $65 that does the same thing but sits on the counter instead. Or just buy that lovely lemon and lime juice in bottles off the shelf and use that cause it will still taste better than sour mix. There is no good sour mix.

So asking for myself again, I'm finding the ball lock only slowly filling the bottles, it's not a quick process to inflate the bottle. Is that likely an issue with the ball lock, the set up, user error? I don't think I have much in the way of leaks anymore. I've just heard people say the bottle pops and I don't have that effect.

Do you have a beer regulator that maxes out at like 15 psi?

His regulator looks fine (from earlier post) Your pressure selector looks fine, you're opening the last valve fine. Best I can guess is that you're using an aeration stone but that's 100% not needed for CO2, or your dip tube is too long and sealing against the bottom of the bottle? If that's not it, can you video your whole setup when trying to carb a bottle?

drat, I did skip the link! Sorry! The best brand is Chef’n. Get the lemon model. It handles both lemons and limes perfectly. The lime is too small for lemons.

Goon friends, I need more eggplant options. Our plants have been crazy productive this year, and it's not ending. I've given away baskets full. I've made all the fish fragrant eggplant I can stand. I am baba ghanoushed. I want no more parmesan in my life. Curried out. Help me please come up with some more things to do with this crazy over-abundance. Especially stew type things that are on the lower effort side. This shot is from this morning - 12 eggplants. I'm getting this every two days.

Can one make pickles or kimchi(or whatever form of preserving vegetables you prefer) from Eggplant cause that might be an avenue to go down Also got my own question for the thread, my aunt just gave me and my mom one of those Ninja brand air fryer ovens after using it literally once(which my mom believes she did solely to justify giving it to her as a "used" item), anything especially interesting I can do with one of these things?
