Mark Bittman's "How to Cook Everything" is good. No pretty pictures but tons of good Alton Brown  stuff

No pictures and it's not a recipe book per se but for anyone who is an ok cook it can really help get to the next level by understanding the why behind basic things.

My haiku has earned me a King Oscar tasting kit. More sardines for my doomsday stockpile. I hope they throw some mackerel in there.

So I have some combination of forks and t-shirts and aprons coming, was hoping for some fishes, but an apron will be very dadly come the summer BBQs. RE: Cookbooks I like cookbooks that actually teach you how to cook, so I believe the Joy of Cooking does that, but I haven't seen a recent edition so I can't say for sure if it's actually good.

I won an apron. I'm really envious of the 'dine fork winners, that's what I really wanted. But also I'm glad to have won something. I'm thinking that I'll write some holiday KO 'dine haikus throughout the year in preparation for next year. Gotta win that fork.

Do you just have to check the KO Facebook page regularly or is there a way to get notified about their promotions/contests? Aside from this thread of course

They commented on my post to tell me I could pick from a shirt, apron, or water bottle. If it was a metal water bottle, I would do that, but it seems like apron is the choice of fish eating dads?

I chose a KO t-shirt for my haiku prize. Just yesterday I ate a can from the Royal Taster Kit I won last month. My friends think sardines are "weird" but I think they're actually just jealous.

HOT HAIKU WRITING TIP: Both of my winning entries had a reference to either KO or a specific product, i.e. Kippers, Harissa, or something like that. Make it sound like something a marketing intern would be really proud to contribute to a campaign, but that you know would just get dumped the minute he leaves the room.

Big Bad Voodoo Lou posted:What do you all think of The Joy of Cooking? If someone was only going to own one cookbook, especially a college student or someone moving into their first apartment, who has little to no cooking experience, I think it's about as simple, versatile, and GOOD as you can get. Cooking in the '50s and '60s was pretty bad. From what I've seen of the joy of cooking it's pretty much a novelty now. Maybe some of the baking stuff still makes sense. Seconding How to Cook Everything as a decent starting point if you must have a book.

I got a notification that my haiku won a prize, too. Also, to call back to the gadget discussion earlier, one kitchen item I consider indispensable is a good electric kettle. Think my current one is 1.5L and it gets used almost daily.

Anything you're cooking that requires boiling water is seriously accelerated by using an electric kettle. Having a quick and efficient means of boiling water is so handy that I consider it a necessity.

Mine is like 95% used for making coffee, but if I'm making pasta, I'll boil a kettle full, also its pretty handy for making baby bottles quickly.

I can imagine it's faster I guess.

Sheep-Goats posted:So you boil water in the thing and then dump it into a pot all the time? It's way faster - especially with things like making a large pot of pasta. I can get two kettles boiled and be cooking pasta in a fraction of the time as compared to just letting the water boil on the stove.

It's also more efficient, boiling a pot of water over an open flame wastes a lot of energy.

The Better Homes and Gardens cookbook has recipes for a lot of basic/classic things, done simply and concisely without 5 paragraphs of mommy-blogger bullshit about how "my family loves cookies but who has time to blah blah" on each recipe. It's also in 3-ring binder format which means it lies open really easily.

For less than ~24 oz of water my microwave can boil water faster than the kettle, so tea is actually the one thing I don't use it for much. It's still the most efficient and convenient way for larger quantities though. I've heard that our US electric kettles are relatively poo poo because of the whole 120 VAC thing.
