Your other posts in here are looking for how to use a slow cooker and what to do with a piece of beef you don't know how to cook.

Maybe take it easy dishing out advice like "don't sous vide".

You should probably read my posts if you're going to be a weirdo and search for them. The beef was cooked already. Don't sous vide, it isn't worth the difficulty or food borne illnesses.

Yes, and you cooked it wrong, which indicates you don't know how to cook it, which is what Chemmy said. This indicates that you don't even spare the few seconds it takes to Google "how to cook eye of round" and find multiple sites saying "if you cook it like a regular steak it will be utter poo poo", which means that the bolded word below:

quote:

Don't sous vide, it isn't worth the difficulty or food borne illnesses.
apparently means "learning how to do a thing before doing it" in your vocabulary. So no, you should not sous vide. Anyone with two functioning brain cells can figure it out fine, thanks.

Shockingly sous vide is awesome and safe if you learn how to do it right (which is no harder than anything else when you work on raising your cooking skill above Pizza Pops and Kraft Dinner really,) I'd certainly trust something coming from anyone who learned how to use their machine over anything from someone who needs directions on how to use a crockpot.

Sous vide is so easy that I'm tempted to say it doesn't even feel like cooking. It's just two steps away from Jetsons food-o-matic.

:qq: it's so hard to look up cook temperatures and times on the internet, push a button on my machine and wait a couple hours for the food to finish :qq:

Just to dogpile a little more on this poor ignorant toaster strudel: as long as you pay attention to recommended food times & temps, you will not get any food borne illnesses either. While the internal temp does not ever get up to instant death of pathogens, you can also pasteurize things by holding them at a lower temp for longer. It's not a popular technique because it's risky and dangerous and foodies want to roll the food poisoning dice. There's a lot of science and microbiology behind it that you clearly do not understand.

Add it to a Cheeto consomme. or make a dorito/ramen broth with jerky chunks.

Here's a guide on rice paper rolls: http://goonswithspoons.com/Vietname...cu.E1.BB.91n.29

The combo for the filling you listed would be good, you can vary it a lot. Basically you want a significant volume of the filling to be noodles and lettuce to provide structure, then some sort of protein (that page shows how to do Vietnamese grilled meats but you could just use poached meat/fried tofu and let the dipping sauce have most of the flavor), some fresh herbs to brighten the flavor, and something crunchy like bean sprouts or cucumber.

Prepared fish sauce or prepared hoisin sauce would be the two dipping sauces for Vietnamese rolls:

It's tasty and moist. If you're making jerky because you want to survive for months in the backcountry, it's not so good, but if you're eating jerky because it tastes good, who the hell cares?

Un malheur ne vient jamais seul.
I bought a package of Johnsonville apple chicken sausage and I'm trying to think of a way I could use them in a pasta dish. Can anyone think of some ingredients I could use for a sauce?

Since it's a pasta dish, I really wanna keep the sweetness down to a minimum besides the apples in the sausage. I was planning to cook them in walnut oil. Going by The Flavor Bible, it sounds like I could make a ginger cream sauce or a pesto with pine nuts and rosemary (with some dried apricots as a garnish, maybe). I could top it with Camembert or goat cheese. Does anyone have any other ideas for how I could flesh out either of these sauces? Other, less prominent ingredients I could use in supporting roles? Thanks!

What kind of pasta do you guys think I should use? I don't want to use penne; penne is so TV-dinner. Maybe rotini or angel hair?

EDIT: In case it comes up, I can't eat pork, so bacon's out.

Fatty jerky isn't a thing here in Seden so could someone explain to me what makes it any different in principle to other fatty cured and dried meats, such as Serrano ham or Lardo?

It's beef jerky, so small strips individually dried instead of a huge chunk of meat dried and then sliced.

I made some really yummy vegetarian burgers tonight, white beans, sun-dried tomato, basil and garlic and bread crumbs being the ingredients. I'd love to make these for my mom, possibly at our next family barbecue but I found they were sticking to my pan a bit and a little crumbly, so I could see them sticking to the grill easily. What's the best way to make them bbq friendly?

First - Grill Prep. Get the grill good and hot and leave the grate on there for 10 or 15 minutes with the lid on. After that, clean it real good with a wire brush. Scrub it while it's hot and the gunk will come off easier. Finally, wad up a paper towel and dip it in vegetable oil. Rub that wad on the hot grates using tongs. Now your grill is hot, clean, and greased.

Second - Food Prep. I'm not clear on the consistency of the veggie patties that you are working with, but since all you are using appears to be pre-cooked veg, it should be more just basically heating up the patties. With that in mind, shape them first, then maybe toss them in the freezer for just a few minutes so they hold their shape and don't crumble as soon as they hit the heat. It'd also suggest using cooking spray on the patties before hitting the grill. Spray one side liberally, flip, spray again, put on the hot grill.

If you do all that, nothing should stick on the grill.

Recommendations for recipes that I can cook a huge batch of and freeze for individual reheating in a microwave later? My wife is going to be gone to her classes for a large portion of the day with no time to come home, so I need to find things that she can carry and microwave.

Look for stew recipes. Easiest to portion, freeze, reheat, fits any container you have. Doesn't matter if the texture gets hosed up because it's already a mush!

All of this.
I've not tried kitty litter's (the Sriracha jerky goon) stuff, but it seems as if they're on their way out for the time being anyway.

If I'm making sad little Hot Pocket imitations, do I need to cut a vent in the top? How would you recommend I seal them? Egg wash and press with a fork, or just fold and pinch?

Cutting board question. Let's say you have two cutting boards- a nice, wooden one like this Boos block, and a cheaper plastic one. Which one would you use for cutting raw meat, and which one for non-meat food prepping? I'm asking this purely from a sanitation perspective. And I'm asking because we just bought that Boos board, but I really need to know if I can avoid having to buy two very expensive cutting boards.

I would use the wooden board whenever I hadn't already dirtied it with something else in that cooking session.

If it's chicken, I would use the plastic one. Not because plastic has any antibacterial qualities (it doesn't) but to prevent cross contamination of whatever else I'm cutting up at the time.
