Should I roast/saute the chicken parts before putting them in the pot, or go cold? Oh and what is the general rule for adding salt to the stock making process? Roast em. You want all the browned bits. I go easy on the salt during the stock making part, you can always add later and there is a lot of reducing going on so your salt concentrations won't stay constant.

We sadly don't have a dutch oven here at my parents, but I think it will be okay in the pot, it's pretty heavy. I just need to find a cover that is oven safe. Most of the ones here have a "black" (not rubber) piece on the top of the lids. Hurf a durf. I just used aluminum (not aluminium you drat brits) and that worked perfectly. All that fussing over nothing.

Don't salt until the end---you'd rather add salt to an otherwise finished stock than have to add additional water to fix a too-salty stock (diluting all the other flavours in the process). Edit: oh look, new page, e;fb, and so on

In addition to what's already been said, my secondary rule for salt is that if it tastes perfectly great and perfectly salty when you sample half a teaspoon, it'll be too salty if you have to eat or drink several mouthfuls. Don't give yourself a slightly too salty surprise when you eat proper meal proportions of whatever you're making.

I'm planning to do a turkey in a slow cooker, something I've never done before. Any tips, advice or similar? I've been advised to have ~1 inch of water at the bottom is that about right? Are there any good links for slow cooker cooking?

So, how many of us are going to use tomorrow's leftovers to make turkeycheese? I bought a tray of croissants specifically for making turkey salad sandwiches, it's almost better than the actual Thanksgiving meal.

No turkeycheese. Just turkey sandwiches with lots of mustard. Lots of mustard.

Usually we make turkey congee with the leftover carcass and eat it with cut up pieces of century egg.

I thought you were required by law to make pilgrim stacks? Toasted bread, cranberry relish (with mayo if you're a ), stuffing and sliced turkey.

Mr. Wiggles posted:No turkeycheese. Just turkey sandwiches with lots of mustard. I'm not a big fan of mustard with turkey, personally. With roast beef, yes. I've already begun the leftovers repurposing process - we had meatloaf for dinner tonight, and I'll be serving meatloaf sandwiches to anyone who's around at lunchtime tomorrow. Funny how almost anything can be repurposed into a delicious sandwich the next day.

Ack, help! I'm making rib roast, also known as cote du bouef/ "yabba dabba do" from the French Laundry cookbook. Keller says to season the meat the night before "and place on a plate and refrigerate for one day". But do I cover the meat with tin foil or just stick that baby uncovered in the fridge? I don't want to dry out the meat. But maybe it's supposed to? Help, I don't want to ruin Thanksgiving!

I don't want to dry out the meat. But maybe it's supposed to? Help, I don't want to ruin Thanksgiving! There's also natural breakdown of tissue in the presence of oxygen, which has the effect of making the meat more tender. Combined with the flavour concentration this can really help out beef---usually you're forced to choose between flavourful and tough or tender and less flavourful, unless you get fancy with slow cooking, sous vide, or something like that. That all being said, the effects are going to be pretty slight if you're just holding the meat overnight. But yeah, I'd guess uncovered and don't worry about it.

SubG posted:I'm not familiar with Keller's recipe, but I'd assume that he means uncovered. You can actually do this with beef until it appears pretty drat janky; you're pretty much just using your fridge to dry age the meat. A fridge is a pretty arid environment, so you're drying the meat slightly, which results in a deeper, `beefier' flavour. Awesome, thank you! The meat is now uncovered. It sure is a gorgeous cut.

I usually do pot pies later on in the leftovers cycle, depending on how much I have left. My uses for leftover ham are a lot slimmer. Mostly just "slap on bread, eat." I bought only slightly less food this year than I did last year, and half as many people are showing up (7 down from 15), so the leftovers situation may get pretty crazy.

So I am a vegetarian and do not have roasting pans. I am going to cook a chicken (3.5lb) for my parents today. I plan on following Bittman's recipe. Am I better off cooking the chicken in a cast iron pan or glass baking dish?
|
# ? Nov 22, 2012 17:43 |

Either will be fine, but the cast iron will need to be preheated. It also won't be as useful for making gravy.

I have come into possession of quite a bit of ground moose meat. What flavours go well with it? I've only ever had moose stew. I was thinking burgers, chilli, meatballs...but what kind of spices go best with game like moose?

Non-thanksgiving related but I'm making Naan for friends later this evening and am using the GWS wiki's recipe: http://www.goonswithspoons.com/Naan but I'm fairly lactose intolerant so I was wondering if there was something I could substitute the yogurt with.

Mr. Wiggles posted:Turn up to 375 and plan on dinner being a bit late while hoping for the best. I think that he's saying, "could the turkey be done already? What does the thigh/dark meat register at? If the thigh is still underdone, cover the breast with a double layer of foil and let it bake a bit longer.

Quick question: if I'm going to double up a recipe in the oven (say, two pork loins instead of one) and want to do them at the same time, is there a general rule for how long you should extend the cooking time for?

Turned it up, left it in for another hour... hoping for the best! edit: juices are running clear from the breast and thigh, registering 175 on the stick. IDKWTF. Crossed fingers. We have a ham just in case.
