I find that trying to get char spots on my electric stove is impossible on corn tortillas... they get stiff/crispy before any real spots develop. Do I just need higher heat? Using a dry cast iron skillet.

I find splashing a bit of water on the tortilla before toasting helps a lot.

Using a dry cast iron skillet. How long are you preheating? You could also try broiling in your oven, directly on the rack if you're worried about sticking to sheet trays.

Also, I had a 50/50 success toasting on an electric stove directly. there would be plenty where they'd get a ring of burnt rear end poo poo while the rest was cold. I'm very happy I converted to gas. Edit: I honestly had no idea people try to toast tortillas in the oven. That's such a waste and it wouldn't get much char I'd imagine. Speaking from inexperience here.

Guys a dry nonstick pan works fine. Give it about 30 seconds on medium high and you’ll have some nice toasting.

Heh sorry for not elaborating- it's probably not hazardous much to humans, but I think with teflon it shortens your pans life quicker if you use medium heat or above (and medium is defined pretty loosely), especially with not much in the pan. I am no expert.

I baked some rye bread with dill seed, caraway seed, and fennel seed: I put some mustard, roasted turkey, tomato, and dill havarti cheese in there:  I toasted the gently caress out of them sandwiches and added Kenji's roast potatoes:  And it was good.

Only had my lovely cellphone camera but I was really happy with how these turned out. Highland potstickers, ground angus, leeks, garlic and mushrooms from a local farm cooked in beer, folded into dumpling dough made with Orkney beremeal barley, simmered in a bit of beef bone broth then fried and topped with a sauce of parsley, roast garlic and chili mixed with the remaining broth.

I've been lurking for a while but I made a cherry pie last night I'm actually pretty proud of, so whatever   Used the Food Wishes recipe but replaced the slivered almonds in the crumble top with shredded coconut cause I like coconut and cherries together. Never had a cherry pie before, they're pretty loving good.

First time poster ITT Poulet au vin d'Alsace. Only thing I think could have been improved would be the sear on the chicken, otherwise I was really happy with it. Served with French bread and Riesling.

Thanks guys. It was delicious as hell but also sat like a brick cuz I ate a 6oz slab of fried cheese. Pretty sure I was in a food coma the rest of the day. kumba posted:i have never heard of that cheese but holy gently caress i don't think i've ever wanted a sandwich more than i want that right now It's great, pretty much a less salty halloumi

It's also commonly called "bread cheese" if your grocer's cheese person doesn't know what juustoleipa is.

Not meaning to nit pick here by any chance but I just have to correct that it is in fact the other way around, so leipäjuusto. Leipä meaning bread and juusto meaning cheese. It is actually a pretty versatile ingredient which can successfully (YMMV) be used in indian cuisine in place of paneer cheese and it also works great on stir fries and woks. Traditionally here in Finland it is often baked with cream and just when its inner parts get to that good oozing point, you take it out and serve it with cloudberries. Sandwich looks great by the way, gotta try to mimic something similar soon because I just started craving bread cheese. Thanks.

That's not a nitpick at all. Thanks for the info-dense post! What the gently caress is a cloudberry. Please sponsor me into Finland.
