I don't care how many people I probably infected with COVID-19 while refusing to wear a mask, my comfort is far more important than the health and safety of everyone around me!

If I use liquid smoke on some ribs in the oven is my house going to smell like a beef jerky factory afterwards?

Anyone got a preferred sugar to fruit ratio for blueberry jam? I like using liquid Certo.

The official recipe is 7 cups of sugar and two packets of pectin per 6 cups of berries, but I also googled one that suggests 4 cups of sugar and packet of pectin for 6 cups.

When do you worry when it comes to canned food safety? Bulges and dents are obvious warning signs, but I've gotten into an argument or two with someone concerning a couple drops or sauce spurting out of a punctured can, or a 'loud' hiss versus a normal hiss.

Pressure cooker pork ribs sounds disgusting
Pretty much every culture with pigs has a version of braised pork ribs. They don't resemble what you'd get out of smoking, roasting, or grilling them though, so if you're looking for a substitute they ain't it. But they're just fine. I mean you hand me a rack of pork ribs and they're probably going in the smoker. But you tell me I can 't smoke 'em and they're probably going to end up as hong shao rou or something like that, which I'll take over oven-roasted unless I absolutely have to serve them that way for some reason.

How can I make brown rice in a rice cooker that isn't mushy garbage? I've followed both the instructions on the rice cooker and the bag and it's still terrible. I want to cook one cup of dry rice.

I'm going to grill a pork loin on a plank. The recipe I was looking at says to brine the loin for 4 hours. Is there a downside to brining for longer?

assuming the brine isn't horrendously salty, no, there's no downside.

Pork ribs in the pressure cooker vs pork ribs in the oven.

Depending on the technique you use, it's six of one really. If you have a lossless pressure cooker you can do it with minimal liquid loss, which decreases the liquid needed at the start, and keeps the ribs less water logged. In a PC it will take about 30 min. If you foil wrap the ribs and roast at 225 F it will take about 3-4 hours. Either way, you'll want to finish them under the broiler if you are going for the american bbq ribs thing.

It's your own bloody fault.
I tried to season a pan and I done hosed up.



I followed the instructions from the manufacturer:

How to Season

quote:

Cast iron lasts for generations, but only if you treat it well. The secret ‘tis the season. You will need to regularly season your cast iron griddle casserole dish to stop it from rusting.
To do this, scrub your casserole dish in warm soapy water and dry thoroughly. Spread a thin layer of oil (vegetable oil works fine – no need to waste good extra virgin olive oil on this task) and rub into all of the crevices. Then, preheat your oven to 180°c and place the casserole dish on the middle rack. Let it bake for an hour then cool in the oven.

So I did that and when I took the cool pan out, most of the pan had a light brownish glaze on it, except that semi-circle which was still liquid oil. Wiping it off shows the uncoated pan underneath.

What did I do wrong and what do I do now?

Scrub it down with soap and water and do over. You want a film of oil on the exposed cast iron, no more than that.

Scrub it all off and start over. Preheat the pan til it's warm, then take a paper towel with oil on it and wipe it down. Then take a clean paper towel and wipe that oil off. There should only be enough oil on there to give it a sheen, but not enough so that you can see any depth to the the oil. Then bake.

I would even consider baking it upside down, so if there is any extra oil it can run out.

Yeah. Use a lot of dish soap (Dawn works best). Let it soak for a while if you need to.

When you're ready to retry, put a little oil in the middle and use a paper towel and rub it all over. There should be as little oil as possible.

You can also spray PAM then wipe it out. Idk if it makes much difference, but that's how I've seasoned cast iron grill grates before.

Yeah it looks enameled and no you don't season enamel.

Edit: Yeah on the product page it says it's enameled. It does list seasoning instructions, but my guess is that's just boilerplate text they include with all their cast iron poo poo even though it doesn't actually apply here, any more than their comments on cast iron rusting.

Bonus edit: yeah I just searched for other cast iron poo poo in that storefront and found a cast iron griddle pan that has instructions for how to use a coated aluminium pan with a steel base on an induction hob. It does not include any information about seasoning or rust prevention. lol

So I wanted to give making Spicy Miso Ramen a shot. Had a couple bowls of it at a Noodle shop downtown and I wanna try making it myself. I wen't to go get some White Miso and gochujang the recipe called for but it turns out when it comes to asian food my local store has Soy sauce, pre packaged microwave food and the stuff you find overpriced at conventions. So I'm just gonna have to go online for it.

My question is are there any particular brands or types of White Miso and gochujang I should get that people recommend?

Worse, that enamel doesn't last forever and your actions may quite conceivably have hurt it or ruined it. Fortunately, an enameled cast iron with the enamel removed is then a seasonable cast iron.

Fallen Rib
Cross-posted from the burg thread:

Hey pals! I have a few burg questions. So, I'm having a BBQ for my birthday in a few days, and I've been pretty set on doing home-ground prime rib burgers for a while now. I'm not terribly worried about the cost (this is my big bash for the summer), but I know a lot of people go with ground chuck, both for cost and flavour. Is using prime rib just going to make these burgers needlessly more expensive and not actually contribute much to the flavour? Would half chuck, half prime rib be a reasonable "best of both worlds" scenario?

I kind of thought that might be the case. I would really like to hear from people what their favourite meat combos are. I haven't been grinding at home for long and it's hard to know what really separates a good burger from a great burger. Even seriouseats has recipes for fancy-pants dry-aged all prime rib burgers.

Just use chuck. Prime's going to be a waste of good meat that's better prepared otherwise. Your goal (for a medium-cooked burger) is about a 70/30 fat ratio, and a medium grind. If you like a more rare burger, use less fat so you don't have unrendered fat in the final product. I use 85/15 for most of my burgers, because I like them on the rare side.

If you want to be a real rear end in a top hat, grind 70% chuck 30% bacon, using something that isn't super-strongly smoked. Top with sharp cheddar and granny smith apple slices instead of pickles.

Can you make white rice in it ok?

Cooking rice is all about getting the right amount of extra water to make up for evaporation. I've had good luck measuring the evaporation in a pan, then using 1:1 rice:water and adding however much water will evaporate during the cooking time. If you can get white rice to work, try figuring out how much extra water (past 1:1) is added, then scale that up by the cooking time. So if brown rice takes twice as long, add twice the extra water.

This may not work very well since the rice cooker may have valves it switches during the cooking time. So just tweaking the water until you're happy is also a good solution.

For some actual content: This might not be the right place for this but I wasn't quite sure where to ask it. Has anyone built their own Outdoor Pizza Oven? I have been thinking about building this one here for a couple years now. I have a good pallet to use already but haven't gotten around to buying the rest of the materials. Just wondering if anyone has done one and has a better instructions or anything.

My house has no AC so being able to cook pizzas and stuff outside during the summer (and even winter) would be great.
