Make more quiche lorraine. I do mine with farmer's cheese, chopped crisp applewood-smoke bacon, and green onions. It's awesome, but you need to take some care to get air incorporated or it can get a bit dense.

I have to admit I have never made a quiche. My wife takes care of anything that has pastry involved. She does a mean gorgonzola tarte, and I like her quiche lorraine (though it could use a bit more salt :ssh:). I'll try to make one myself one of these days.

Quiche is supposed to be a little dense... if you use leavening to make it light and fluffy, then it's a souffle.

I thought the Serious Eats stovetop mac & cheese was pretty good, definitely use at least a sharp cheddar if not extra sharp. I used medium cheddar once and the flavor wasn't quite strong enough.

Either would be good, but Tabasco is closer to Frank's than cock sauce.

Hey guys! I'm having a good time, what about you?

I like to buy chicken thighs in bulk because they're cheap as hell. When I get home I separate them to be vacuum sealed in groups of 4-6 and then freeze it all. Throughout the month I'll pull a bag out and stick it straight in to my sous vide bucket, then in a few hours they're done and I pat them dry before giving a finishing sear on my cast iron.

What is the best point in this process to season them? I'm looking to squeeze more flavor out without sacrificing the convenience of cooking straight from the freezer.

I do basically the same thing and I at least salt before I bag. You can also toss some fresh herbs into the bag before freezing, which fits well with bulk-buying/easy weekday prep. They'll flavor both the chicken and the juice, the latter of which is nice if your last step is to make a quick pan sauce.

How long does it take from frozen to ready to sear? Is it a put in the morning come home to dinner ready thing?

Not counting time to heat up your SV bath, maybe 90 minutes or so? You can also leave them in longer (think on the order of 3-4 hours total), but I'm not sure that chicken does well with 8+ hour cooks.

I'd be hesitant to leave chicken in the puddle all day, would worry it might get mushy. If you want to be able to get home, sear, eat, I'd put it in the bath for a couple hours over the weekend, chill and fridge (still in the bag), then sear that when I got home.

I just spatchcocked a 3.5lb fryer and i made a garlic/sage/rosemary butter which i shoved under the skin and spread everywhere. I had some leftover butter so I smeared it all over the outside of the bird too. Have not yet S&P'ed/seasoned the bird. Will this butter on the outside smoke or turn to poo poo if I roast at 425F?

This came out pretty good - ended up subbing the macaroni for a more fun pasta which might have been a mistake because it was a bit bulky.

The cook pasta from cold was a bit odd/new to me - although going over there description again it sounds like this wasn't necessary? And with the pickled jalapenos, I wasn't super sure what to look for in my grocery store - I found some old el paso stuff that came in a little can and used it straight since there wasn't really any liquid to drain, just kinda goo?

The scene is at the 9:37 mark (I forgot how to time stamp YouTube videos. Sorry) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3qCmh3HRp1E

IIRC, the pasta thing is just that you don't have to do the traditional bring a poo poo load of water to a boil type thing.

Usually with pickled jalepenos, you're looking for a jar rather than a can. Something like this:


What you found is good though, you just don't have as much brine (and they're usually way mushier as you found out).

In my opinion, the rice/fish/seaweed wouldn't go very well with the typical ranch taste. I'm not sure if I'd ever really use sauce on sushi anyway - except some soy sauce if appropriate.

But hey, you can always put a squirt on one and see how it tastes!

From the description and look it seems to be deulkkae kalgooksu with handmade noodles (수타 들깨 칼국수, with 수타 meaning the noodles are handmade, 들깨 for the perilla powder that goes into the broth, and 칼국수, or knife-cut noodles, as the base dish) though alfredo is one of the farthest things in the world I would pick to describe it

I love Lebanese style pickled turnips.

Reading the label, they seem pretty simple... nothing to stop me from just pickling some turnips myself, is there?
Should I use any spices, or just salt and vinegar? They have kind of a funky smell, but I assume that's just the turnips.

I'm halfassing some indian butter chicken/tikka masala esque thing.

I threw some chicken into a bag with some plain yoghurt, some garam masala, some curry powder, etc. Fridged it overnight.

Sauteed some onions in olive oil with some spices.

Threw everything together in a slow cooker with some tomato paste and some sour cream. Tasted before adding the chicken, and it tastes... ok... but very strong tomato flavour, quite sweet. Added some salt, but still pretty strong. Any suggestions? Will it just mellow out as it cooks?

There's no need to overcook the chicken like that. You can just let the flavors meld in the fridge.

Well, its chicken thighs, not breasts. I've found in the past that cooking them for a good amount of time will make them shred fantastically. I'm not looking for chunks, shredding it in the curry and spooning over rice makes it easier to portion out IMO.

2 questions:

I replaced my gas range a while ago when it tried to kill me, and got a stove with an induction cooktop. In my experience:

1. Induction is not quite as responsive as gas when changing temperatures. Like with gas, I'd bring something to a boil, then turn it to low and it would happily simmer as long as I wanted. With the induction, I have to play around with the setting to keep it at a simmer.

2. I don't like that the "burners" require pans of a certain minimum size (although I do understand why it is that way).

3. The pictures where you see half a pan with an egg in it, and the part in the pan is cooking while the other part isn't is misleading. The ceramic top will heat up with the radiant heat of the pans you are using.

4. Probably obvious, but the higher the amount of ferric material in your pans, the quicker they will heat up. My All-Clad pans work much better than my less expensive (but completely adequate) Oneida non-stick pans.

That said, I do like my induction range quite a bit. However, when it comes time to replace this one, primarily due to #1 above, I will probably replace it with a dual fuel dual oven with gas cooktop.

Edit: as to the wok, it depends on how "round" it is. My range requires a minimum amount of contact with the hob to work, the tiny bottom of most woks probably won't cut it.

I want to make some fresh bread for lunch tomorrow, so I thought I'd make the dough tonight and then let it rise in the fridge over night.

1) Make dough in the evening, knead it, etc
2) Place in the fridge for 12 hours.
3) Remove from the fridge, let rise for 2 hours at room temperature
4) Punch down, Shape and put into bread tin
5) Rise 1 hour
6) Bake

Does that seem reasonable? Normally I'm lazy and just do 2 quick 1 hour rises, but I fancy doing it properly this time.

If it matters, I'll be using dried bakers yeast and wholemeal spelt flour.
