I feel like there is an obvious solution that I'm missing but how do you get the sesame seeds to stick to the top of a bun? I just hit the dough with egg wash before adding the seeds and while it looks line as soon as you try to pick one up the seeds scatter everywhere.

Now that its defrosted and I've had a better look at it I'm not going to. I'm just going to cut it through the ribs instead and keep everything for the stew

I have a pound of ground lamb, onions, carrots, celery, tomato sauce, sweet potatoes, chickpeas and stock. I was thinking I'd make a mirepoix, then fry up the lamb and add some tomato sauce and thyme(other spices?) and then add cubed sweet potatoes, chickpeas and stock and have some sort of stew. I dunno about tomato mixed with sweet potato though. Anyone have any other ideas I could do with these ingredients and spices?

Is there any good food/cooking blogs that update often enough? I used to like following The Kitchn, but whenever a holiday comes around it gets twee as gently caress, and I'm sick of it. Besides, my mom still doesn't like me making food on holidays so I normally don't cook for more than just me an my boyfriend so things like "how to make thanksgiving enjoyable for 20 people where there's a spread of vegan, vegetarian, paleo and picky people!!!!" are not interesting to me. I just kind of want blogs that talk about interesting or different things, not really needing any sort of cohesive theme. Something in the same tone as Budget Bytes, just with other/no theme.

Smitten Kitchen is absolutely my favorite cooking blog. Consistently good content, and a huge backlog of searchable recipes. They are a bit twee, but that's just part of cooking blogs. Otherwise I also follow Food Wishes, Chow, a few on The Fresh Loaf, and Serious Eats.

We have a ton of cans of tomato paste in the back of the pantry and I'd like to use them. Can I make anything with them and chicken breasts (that can be made in bulk and reheated)?

If I really want a recipe I usually crtl+f and search like "Tsp" or something. Doesn't make it less frustrating, though. Some people attempt to make it seem like their lives are just as important as the recipe to the people that follow the blog. Ughn.

I've used this recipe a couple times to make beer ice cream: http://billybrew.com/beer-ice-cream The main problem I'm running into is that the intense beer flavour that I love is derived from a very high ABV beer (think 15%) which works great...until the high ABV makes the freezing point of the ice cream drop to the point where it melts practically as soon as I drop it in the bowl. Is there a way I can stabilize the ice cream without getting rid of the intense, wonderful flavour?

Very Strange Things posted:I'd probably brown that and then braise it in a foil package. Leave the fat if you're slow cooking. That hair is not coming out by just rinsing it. Do you have a small torch? I'm serious; just singe it right off. Ended up braising in a dark lager with potatoes, celery, garlic, onions, and minced anchovies. I think I slightly overcooked it but it came out amazing. I've only had deer jerky before but this meat has the texture of beef but a rich iron-ey flavor like an organ. The same guy left a raccoon a week earlier and that tasted straight up like a greasy turkey leg.

crazyfish posted:I've used this recipe a couple times to make beer ice cream: http://billybrew.com/beer-ice-cream I've never made beer ice cream before but could you cook down the beer first to reduce the alcohol content?

The thing is that cooking might dramatically alter the taste of the beer. An alternative could be freeze distillation. When you discard the still liquid high alcohol fraction, you'll surely lose some parts of the aromatics. But at least the frozen watery part won't be altered by heat.

Freeze distillation is the opposite of what he wants to do- it would keep the alcohol and beer flavor in the liquid, and the ice would be just h2o. Cooking the beer down a bit would work fine, just keep it at a gentle simmer until it doesn't smell too boozy. I've made whiskey ice cream this way (though I also set it on fire because, well, fire!) and it held up well.

So I'm reheating some leftover pizza tonight and I want to have fried egg on it to spruce it up a bit. What's my best bet to get the egg to set into the pizza some without burning the pizza by reheating it too long? Should I just fry the egg separately and add it after?

What's my best bet to get the egg to set into the pizza some without burning the pizza by reheating it too long? Should I just fry the egg separately and add it after? I imagine you're looking to re-heat the pizza in the oven and have a soft cooked egg on top of that, right? It would be infinitely simpler to fry the egg first and then just put it on top of the reheated pizza. I suppose you could partially fry the egg until it just barely set, then get it onto the pizza and let it finish setting to desired doneness in the oven. That seems like a lot of guess work and trial and error for me though. What kind of pizza, out of curiosity? I could maybe see a nice runny yolk over a good fresh margarita pizza. drat, now I want a runny fried egg.

I have the flu and was boiling some water on the gas range (medium heat) to make a cup of tea for myself when I kind of zoned out. Around 30-40 minutes later, I got up to go make a cup of tea- forgetting I had already set water on to boil- and found the pot still on the burner but with all the water evaporated. There was a bit of white residue on the bottom, but there didn't seem to be any melting or cracking or anything. Is it unsafe to keep using this pot? It's a Chefmate cookware pot with a non-stick surface, and I've read up about the toxic chemicals that can be released but most people talk about that in terms of leaving an empty pot out for several hours. I think between the water completely evaporating and my discovery it couldn't have been more than 20 minutes. Should I be worried about there being some chemical residue that will make me sick?

That white stuff is just minerals from your water, it's totally fine. I dunno about the nonstick surface but if it wasn't at a high enough heat to burn it then nothing bad should've happened.

If I use an eggwhite raft to clarify chicken stock, is skimming still recommended? Will not doing so cause any bitterness or adverse flavors?

SymmetryrtemmyS posted:If I use an eggwhite raft to clarify chicken stock, is skimming still recommended? Will not doing so cause any bitterness or adverse flavors? You can't really skim if you're using a raft- the raft is there to catch all the stuff that would cause an off flavor. Just keep it at a LOW simmer so as not to break up the raft.

Personally, I wouldn't use it again. If you were boiling water it would have been on high heat and nonstick surfaces shouldn't ever be on high heat anyway. Its even worse if you had it on high heat with nothing in it.
