And I think on those you're supposed to wait like 15 minutes after it shuts before opening it.

So I intend to make chili pretty soon using this powder I've made but it smells so good I need something reasonably simple I can make for breakfast using it. Any ideas? Its funny, my parents were both very skeptical and thought I was wasting my time until they walked into the kitchen and got hit by the smell

Mach420 posted:How big is that cooker? 5 cups? Cooking minimum amounts sometimes does not work out that well on cheap cookers. Try doing 2 cups. That'll give it more time for the water to boil through before it all boils off and it switches to warm mode. The rice is from my local Walmart, which probably has a lot of turnover, so the rice is fresh. I've been trying to cook one cup of rice in this 6 cup cooker. I'll try cooking two, and seeing if that works.

Squashy Nipples posted:That said, I've never tried a recipe that calls for aging, so I'm totally trying that one you linked. Thanks! Aged egg nog is awesome. Although, I tend to not add cognac and swap in an equal amount of rye instead. Gives it a bit of kick to cut through the cloying nature of the beverage. Oh, and I aged a gallon for six months and cracked it open, ice cold, on a sweltering summer day. It was awesome. I really love this nog recipe.

I botched the gently caress out of my lasagna tonight. Insufficient quantities of ingredients, mostly. But it came out very tasty anyway, so I guess that's okay.

I just ordered my Thanksgiving turkey (a Heritage this year; I'm excited) from my local butcher. Unfortunately, I'm having a small Thanksgiving (4 people) and I've got a 16lb bird coming. I love leftovers but I think that I may have a bit more than I can handle. So my question is, can I freeze some of the cooked meat? I know the texture will be ruined, but I'm wondering if I could use it for soup. Worst comes to worst I just have very flavorful stock-making ingredients, but I'm hoping someone has an idea for me.

Probably better to make the soup and then freeze it, then the texture won't be so wonky. The meat will last a couple days in the fridge post food-coma, so you don't have to worry about soup until Saturday or Sunday.

MasterFugu posted:also, lactose is a sugar, so stuff being sweeter because it's removed.... I don't even know how you arrived at that According to the interweb, the process that removes lactose turns it into sucrose so the milk ends up tasting sweet. It explains the sweetness and the popularity of milk in a country of lactose intolerant people. I wouldn't put it past Koreans to just dump corn syrup into milk but it makes a bit more sense than that. I figured the flavor came from the eggs and spices and the wrong cream caused the texture problem, but I don't know anything about making egg nog. Hence, why I asked questions. And yeah I obviously hosed up my translation of heavy cream. On the up the milkfat front, would something like 1 1/2 cup of my 2%? milk and 1/2 cup of regular cream instead of 2 cups of whole milk work? Too much? No such thing as too much with nog? Edit: Actually after sitting overnight it's tasting a lot better. Still not quite right but it's something I can work with. I'll experiment.

Steam in the oven for a few hours then finish them under the griller (salamander/whatever it's called in the us). Rice + stir fried greens.

Is it cool if I add beef broth in addition to water, into my crock pot while making pulled pork? This recipe (http://genxfinance.com/crock-pot-bbq-pulled-pork-recipe-for-under-15-easy-and-frugal/) doesn't call for it, but last time I made a meal like this I used it and it came out tasting great.

I'll try cooking two, and seeing if that works. Old rice is fine as long as the water amount is adjusted for. The Asian store's big rice bags often have years of production listed on them but the Goya rice does not. Who knows how long it's been sitting in a silo or distribution center. In any case, it may not be as fresh, regardless of Walmart stock turnover, so some extra water will probably make it better. Go and experiment with the amount of water that you use. More water and larger amounts of rice will boil the water and rice longer, helping the rice cook and fluff up properly. If all else fails, you can try the Japanese technique of letting the rice absorb residual rinsing water for 20 minutes after rinsing and straining it, adding the right amount of water, then letting it sit for another 20 or 30 minutes in the cooker before turning it on. That will soften the rice up slightly. It's usually done with Japanese short and medium grain rices only, but hell, give it a try if nothing else works. In a cheapo 6 cup cooker, you'll definitely want to cook a good amount of rice in it. I've found that expensive Japanese fuzzy logic/microchip controlled cookers do well with amounts of rice near the minimum capacity, but simple temperature cookers do not. They will burn the bottom and often give undercooked rice if you try and cook minimal amounts. At least Jasmine rice keeps well in the fridge for the next day or two if you make more than you need.

Lunch. What the hell do you cook for lunch? I've been pursuing cooking as a hobby for most of my life, but I've gravitated towards time consuming dinners and gone for simple stuff for just myself at lunch. Here's the situation. I'm up at my parents place for the first time in a while on a mountain range in northeast Australia and I'm expected to show off with a lunch for 4. Up here in this little town I can get to a decent butchers and a kind of hippy but relentlessly western grocers. I would dearly love ideas for a properly delicious lunch. I can spare an hour or so for kitchen work, more if the payoff is worth it. Flavourful with bog standard ingredients, but making a big impression is what I'm going for. I can handle complicated, but I wont be able to get anything too exotic. There's nice lamb up here, and excellent local cheese and dairy. There are chooks laying good eggs in the backyard too. Seafood here is not great. Please help! Love you! Fagtastic fucked around with this message at 17:57 on Nov 5, 2011 |

I'm making a baguette recipe, but I just realised that it makes two loaves. It's already gone through the first rise, and the recipe now calls for me to punch it down, form it into two loaves, and let it rise again. If I want to freeze one of the two loaves, should I bake both then freeze one, or freeze one now, or freeze after they've risen...? Bake partway? I'm very new to this bread thing.

Attempt one: Acorn squash seeds, wash, dry, place in toaster oven at about 200F for like 40 minutes or some poo poo, until they browned. End result = chewy lots of fiber, doesn't taste like pepitas that I would buy from the store. Attempt two: large (not pie) pumpkin seeds, wash, dry, place in skillet on medium heat with a tiny bit of canola oil and garlic powder. They browned up and same thing, very fibrous when I eat them. WHAT AM I DOING WRONG?!
