It's basically diacetyl, the stuff homebrewers avoid like the plague.

Flavacol doesn't contain nor is it chemically similar to diacetyl. Or at least according to the CDC, who did a study of poo poo emitted by various popcorn additives after a bunch of workers at a microwave popcorn factory started developing lung disease at an alarming rate.

I made some kimchi, but had to put it in the fridge earlier than I'd prefer. Can I take it out and let it ferment more?

As long as you haven't cooked it, it's still fermenting. Just slower.

I just purchased a sous vide thing and started cooking a steak. However it is 11pm, past the time I would eat a steak. Am I loving up by putting it in the fridge until morning before I sear the poo poo out of it? Thanks for putting up with sous vide baby.

The Irish can't drink. What you always have to remember with the Irish is they get mean. Virtually every Irish I've known gets mean when he drinks.

No, that's fine. You might want to consider popping it in an ice bath before going directly to the fridge, but with steak temps & sizes, I don't think you'll have issues.

To answer my own question from pages and pages ago:

If you suspect you have plenty of propane left and your grill won't heat all the way, the problem is probably in the sequence you start your grill. If you turn the burners on before you release the gas, the gas won't release properly. I think it has something to do with a safety feature and equalizing pressure?

Turn off the gas, wait 30-60 seconds, turn the burners on high, and grill will probably light up and heat properly now.

But it's too hot to grill anyway.

I wish it weren't. I prefer to be out by the grill in the autumn with a crisp bite of cold in the air. Then you don't feel like spelunking in satan's taint after he's spent morning in the fields would be cooler than the new and interesting hell that this loving heat machine is cooking up. God I hate the summer so much.

Standing over a 500 degree grill when it's 90 degrees out sucks but you need to take a shower after you've been grilling anyway.

Exactly. It's worth the unpleasantness of cooking in the heat to be able to relax after dinner in a cool house.

Beauty of central air. I can run the broiler and cover the stovetop with boiling pots of water on each burner and it doesn't tick a degree over 72.

Putting in a modern high-efficiency central AC unit was one of my best investments; it slashed my cooling bill in half. With the extra tax incentives I got that year, it completely paid for itself in about three summers.

Looking at buying a home and there's a "green renovation" mortgage incentive where they can tack up to an extra $50k at 0% on it. Thinking of going full solar/powerwall, double thick windows, the works. Still get all the tax incentives for spending on these things as well.

Now the real question. Can a permanently installed BBQ pit be billed as "green"

put polished metal on the sides and call it a "solar oven" then proceed to never use it like that and use charcoal/wood instead.

This was one of the first things we did after buying, but the sensor is basically at the far end of the house from the kitchen, so the rest of the house would be like, 58F to keep the kitchen down.

The major downside of central air vs. ductless.

I'm just gonna build me a cracker house with detached kitchen. https://fcit.usf.edu/florida/photos/arts/crackr/crackr.htm

Keeps the main house cool, and bonus, if the kitchen burns down you just kick down the dogtrot and keep the main house from burning!

I do really like outdoor and detached kitchens though, especially something you can just steam-spray down afterwards if you're doing butchery or canning.

It's a little more complex but you can setup zones with central air/heat. useful if your upstairs for instance gets hotter/cooler than downstairs

I want to make a chocolate mousse:

http://www.marthastewart.com/336783/chocolate-mousse

and I was thinking of making a raspberry coulis and a crumb to with it. I'm thinking I should add a spice to the crumb, and I'm not sure what flavour would work best. Ideas I have:

Cardamon
Ginger
Cinammon
Coconut

Would one if these pair well? Or perhaps another flavour? Roasted nuts?

Who can tell me about making Hawaiian Kahlua pork at home. I found a local Hawaiian BBQ place and holy crap is their pork good. It's shredded pulled pork but really juicy and not greasy, served over steamed cabbage leaves.

Online recipes all seem to say slow cook with liquid smoke and Hawaiian salt, some say with banana leaves or other seasoning.

Anyone make this and have any pointers?

I feel that a plain crumb would be better, I think the raspberry and chocolate are enough and a spice would be distracting.

Thanks for your thoughts guys! Plain might well be the way to go here, I'm pretty amateur with flavuor combining, and maybe "more is less" is the best choice here.

Also, just made the mousse, and the recipe starts by making a super thick custard which needs 3-4 minutes in a sauce pan over a medium heat. Now, I've fallen for this trick before, so this time I was ready and took it off the heat after ~45 seconds (74C, so 15s longer and I'd have had scrambled eggs) but I've always wondered, why does it take recipe writers so long to heat up custard? I frequently see recipes saying you need 10 minutes to cook Creme Anglais, yet mine reaches temperature in 3 minutes. I guess maybe people have really thick bottomed saucepans or something?

Pork ribs in the pressure cooker vs pork ribs in the oven. No, I don't have a smoker or a grill.
I've made ribs in the oven before (like this). They turned out pretty well. A few weeks I bought an Instant Pot. I've not made ribs in it.
Today I have a rack of ribs. Should I make them in the oven or try a pressure cooker recipe?
