Opted to post this here in lieu of the holiday thread: I have 3 lbs of unsalted mixed nuts and plan to season/roast them as a Thanksgiving app or whatever. I tried the Grill Bitch's Bar Nuts recipe from Bourdain's "Appetites" but would prefer something savory over sweet. Any suggestions?

I'm not sure of the nuts to sugar ratio but I'm guessing you could make about 5lb of mixed nut brittle.

I think you misread "savory over sweet", not sure brittle fits the bill 😉 My wife and I love "Viv's Addiction" spiced nuts. (scroll down) They're a mix of savory and sweet, but definitely lean to the savory side. They're always our go-to if we have too many leftover egg whites from other recipes. You can make them ahead of time, too. They'll last a couple weeks if they're sealed well against moisture, or indefinitely in a good freezer.

Oh yeah, that sounds good, and I happen to have ground chipotle at the moment. The directions call for coriander, but it's not listed in the ingredients — what do you figure, a tablespoon?

Recipe" posted:"Meanwhile, make the filling: In a large bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, brown sugar and granulated sugar. Add the [b]flour,[b] salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and cloves and whisk until smooth." All it's gonna do is firm it up a little more. It'll be a little more pasty, instead of custardy. Fake edit: Actually, I bet it's mainly in there as insurance for novice cooks overbaking. I'd bet that having the flour in there would keep the filling from going scrambled eggy/grainy.

I'm interested in reducing grocery bills for me and my wife, and I decided as part of the effort to start adding beans to our meals. I've never cooked dry beans before in my life so I wound up coming home with ten bags and have been casually experimenting with combining them different spices and foods. I'm starting to learn what works and what doesn't, but is there anything in particular I should try with beans that you know would be a hit?

Yeah, beans are a great bang-for-the-buck food. Every type of bean has a different flavor/texture profile, though. So there are things you can do with black beans that you can't do with pintos or pink beans, etc. Cranberry or "October" beans are my go-to for soup beans, I like black beans for some rice dishes, red kidneys for chilis, etc etc.

Every year I brine my turkey and start it out at 500 degrees for 30 minutes to brown it. And every year having my oven on 500 degrees freaks me out. Just a bit of smoke and alot of sizzling but my heart can't take it. 3 minutes left on the timer and I'll be glad to turn it down to a more normal temp. E: time is over, bird looks perfect, some poo poo on the bottom of the oven (not my oven) is a bit smokey which hopefully won't impart too much poo poo flavor to the bird but it should be fine.

Just bake bread at 550 every now and then, boom it's like an oven cleaning cycle which gives you bread Or be boring and use the actual oven cleaning cycle, though it goes up around 900°F

I've never cooked dry beans before in my life so I wound up coming home with ten bags and have been casually experimenting with combining them different spices and foods. I like making refried beans from dried beans. You have a lot of control over the texture and flavor at home so it ends up being way better than anything you'd get in a can. The key to good refried beans is sufficient fat and sufficient salt. They end up bland without either of those! I use pintos or mayacoba (aka peruano) beans. Cook them until well-done and make sure to reserve the cooking liquid! Use about 1/4 cup to 1/2 cup of fat (lard or vegetable shortening) per pound of dried beans during the mashing stage. I usually mash them in a stainless skillet (nonstick would get hosed up by the masher) with the fat, then reduce them until they brown a bit on the bottom, then add back enough of the bean cooking water to make a fairly loose mixture. Then I add salt until they taste good (add salt, then taste, etc). Then I stir and reduce/add bean water until I get the texture I want. Refried beans tend to dry out very quickly, so make sure to cover it once you finish cooking, and maybe aim on the more liquid side. I'll just eat it with mexican rice, or in a burrito, or as a filling for tacos. I make tamales with refried beans and queso fresco as well, but that's quite a production.

How long should I boil whiskey to remove the alcohol? It would be poured over Craisins which would then be put on top of sweet potatoes after soaking. It's from Binging with Babish's Thanksgiving sides video; the whiskey part is all of 3 seconds long and I don't want to get anyone at Thanksgiving drunk.

Admiral Joeslop posted:and I don't want to get anyone at Thanksgiving drunk. I think you may be missing the point of whiskey soaked craisins. And thanksgiving. E: as a less flippant point, the reason for using alcohol is that it dissolves and pulls out flavor molecules that water would leave behind. If you boil all the alcohol out beforehand you lose that effect.

You shouldn't be using enough whiskey to make anyone drunk even they just drank it. That said, simmer it maybe 10 minutes? It's still going to have alcohol in it, but not as much. Basically, if you start with a reasonable amount of booze, between the heating and the limited amount that's gonna get soaked into the craisins in the first place, there's not gonna be much left.

# ? Nov 21, 2018 18:21 |
Well, that explains it. Maybe I'll just do it and put them in a side bowl and tell everyone they're soaked in whiskey. Edit: Also, would doing that today and fridging them overnight be fine and/or better? A quick warm on the stove before eating?

Your nose will tell you when the alcohol has evaporated. Basically when it stops smelling like alcohol.

Alcohol doesn't really cook out of food.quote:“You never really cook all of the alcohol out of the food, no matter how long you cook it,” certified sommelier and Food and Wine Editor of Best Life, Shana Wall, told us via email. “However, with that said, alcohol evaporates at three times the rate of water. So the longer you cook it, the more alcohol that will cook out. But the lowest amount of alcohol you can ever achieve in liquids is five percent.” https://www.eatthis.com/does-alcohol-cook-out/ quote:Reducing the wine separately, then diluting the resulting reduction, is a far more efficient way of minimizing the overall final alcohol content of the dish than attempting to reduce the alcohol after combining it with the remaining liquids. https://www.seriouseats.com/2013/04/ask-the-food-lab-do-i-really-need-to-reduce-w.html
