Anne Whateley posted:You can pull the whole thing out of the pan, flip it over, and try to slowly pull the foil off the fudge instead of vice versa. It's still not going to be easy, but should be easier. I guess it wasn't as stuck as I thought (after freezing it all day and still being pretty sticky) because I did this and it came off pretty easily. Made it with chocolate, peanut butter and little caramel bits. drat tasty but I think I might need to get some powdered sugar or something to keep it from sticking to everything.

Steve Yun posted:Anyone use industrial fry oil? Costco has huge 5 gallon jugs of this stuff with anti-oxidants like TBHQ. I was wondering how long I can use something like this. Will it last a year on the shelf? It'll last a week in a commercial fryer, so at home, assuming you filter it after every use, a month at a time-ish? The oil itself is shelf stable for a solid year.

I have procured a whole duck. I intend to smoke said duck, and have a recipe for Thanksgiving turkey brine that I would like to use on it but need to know if it would be any good for duck. Please advise.

I think if the oil can sit for a whole year I'll actually save money by buying one of the big 5 gallon containers, taking a gallon out at a time and just keeping that one "live" gallon in a separate container, filtering after each use, etc. Costco has peanut and soy oil, is there any reason to stick with soy for all-purpose oil if peanut is almost the same price?

Anne Whateley posted:Do you want that peanut taste in everything for a year? Does peanut oil really taste that peanutty? It's been my go-to stir fry oil forever and I never noticed any flavor from it. I also smoke like a drat chimney so maybe my subtle oil flavor opinions are invalid.

I can always tell when something's been fried in peanut oil. It's not like a bad flavor, I just wouldn't want it added to everything I made with it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I would take peanut oil over soy bean oil 100% of the time. Soy oil is just so... greasy and unpleasant. Like cheap salad dressing.

I may be remembering this incorrectly, but I think peanut oil degrades faster than most commercial soybean oils. Corporate has a deal with someone, and we use Mazola ZT Creamy partially hydrogenated soybean oil. It's pretty good at ~$40 for a 35lb jug.

So is that a yes to my duck brine question?

Dr. Gitmo Moneyson posted:So is that a yes to my duck brine question? Yeah, should be fine. Make sure you let your duck dry well on a rack for a few hours in your fridge first, help that pellicle form so smoke adheres well. Salt/brineing denature proteins a bit, so when the skin dries those proteins sort of come to the surface, and act somewhat like velcro for smoke.

Recommend me a food processor. I mainly make hummus, baba ganouj, salsa, etc. I don't know what size I need, but there's only two of us. Also, is there a kind of dish sponge that's just better than the rest? Lawnie posted:So the bottles don't clang together, I imagine. Avoids water from the melting ice. No wet bottles.

Edit: if you're just making mushes, I guess you'll be fine with the cuisinart 9 cup, maybe even the 4 cup Get two sponges, one that's blue and another one that's yellow/green. Use the blue one for everything. If there's something burnt on hard into steel, use the green one. Never use the green one on nonsticks or anything else that scratches easily.

I have so much leftover spiral-cut ham in my fridge, and that's after freezing a ton. Please give me ideas to power through the rest. I've already made all the permutations with eggs -- quiche, omelette, scrambled, breakfast sandwiches. I'm thinking more dinner thoughts, but I'm open to whatever. It's all already cooked and I don't have the bone.

Not sure about calories, but it's not time consuming like yeast waffles (which are great, by the way). What is the purpose of the vegetable oil? Can I use less of that?

We can be controversial and discuss options for freezing a big batch of it if you want.

Dr. Gitmo Moneyson posted:Sorry, quick question about the waffle recipe from earlier. Fat shortens the length of glutamine. It's what makes pie dough flaky and whatnot. If you cut back on the oil your waffles will be drier, probably be denser, chalky, and less flavorful. Fat carries flavor, especially in baking.

A sugar cookie recipe I was using had cream of tartar in it, and I somehow didn't notice and made the recipe completely without. It has baking soda. Will it just be chewier than it would have been with cream of tartar?

Thanks, guys! I've done a lot of the topping-type stuff, but I really want to get through large amounts of this ham, not like 1/3 c at a time for the rest of my life. Without the bone, how would I include it in pea soup? Just throw chunks in at the end?

Just add in after sauteeing of whatever veg, get a little color, then start your liquid and leave it in there on low while it's becoming soup. (Also check out the red beans and rice page, it might change your life.)

Mr. Wookums posted:baking powder is soda + tartar so unless you have another acid in there the cookies will taste odd and probably not have the levening desired. drat!

I'd probably eat them but it'll depend on how picky the eaters are. I have accidentally used soda instead of powder in a 1:1 and those were terrible, but that's also a bigger mistake than yours since your recipe called for soda.
