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.
Ok, actually opened up the bag to transfer into a jar for storage and it definitely seems coarser and flakier than I thought. Not too hot either, but pretty nice

I'm always amazed that they sell 5 pound bags of the pepper powder at the Asian market. Is there a use for that much pepper for home cooks, or are those bags more for restaurants?

If you're making kimchi regularly at home you'll go through one of those bags in no time. In Korea they come in even larger sizes.

Put some in a heat-proof bowl, heat up some oil, pour it over the peppers and smell that delicious.

Not too hot or the pepper will burn. I usually throw a couple flakes in the oil as it's warming to check the temp.

3-4 days from date of manufacture. Take it out and open the ball about an hour before you want to bake, maybe longer. Whole wheat dough is less extensible than white.

All EU butter and yoghurt is what I read, so yes. Also all EU Swiss cheese, Gruyère, Pecorino, Romano, Reggiano, Parmesan, Provolone, Stilton, and Edam and Gouda made in Germany, the UK, France, and Spain.

E: is there any decent way to freeze cheese :ohdear:? Or is vacuum sealer and fridge the best bet? Can I vacuum seal Stilton?

So I feel obligated to give these guys a plug, since my distillery is literally right across the street from them:

If you're worried about getting quality butter due to tariffs, talk to your local grocery about picking up VT Creamery's cultured butter. They've got nationwide distribution now, and the stuff they put out is amazing. Also - their soft cheeses are loving amazing.

Their cultured butter is amazing. I may use Kerrygold for cooking and baking, but the cultured butter is what hits the table with bread.

What exactly changes when you cure a meat? Like if I had a bunch of fresh jowl bacon and made guanciale out of it, what's going on with the flavor and when would I want one over the other?

Enzymes and salt (and maybe water?) have time to break down protein into new products which make the meat more savory and sweet

Spaghetti sauce. Noodles take a few minutes to cook, and in that time you can defrost your sauce cube.

I used to freeze a lot of cheese in Asia. I'd wrap it tightly in plastic and stick it in a bag that I sucked the air out of. Works okay? I wouldn't do it in a place with regular access to cheese but it didn't gently caress it up much.

On Saturday I'm going to be cooking steaks for my extended family. I usually do one or two steaks when I cook for myself or for a date but the plan is 10 steaks for dinner. What should I do to keep the first ones warm while I cook the last ones? Warm oven? (That may not work unless I decide not to do twice baked sweet potatoes)

How are you cooking them in the first place?

If you don't yet have a SV dildo, this is a great excuse to get one. Cook em all and 90-120 seconds to sear.

Ambitious option: sear two at a time with a variety of spice rubs or sauces and slice them so everyone gets a bite of each kind, progreasionally, kind of like a churrascaria

I have the same problem of scaling steaks, and my solution has usually been to cook a whole roast. It's not quite the same crusty sear to meat ratio, but it's pretty damned good. If you have a big grill you could fit them all on that works. Holding them in a very low (125F?) oven while the others cook is okay. Or do a big roast (whole strip loin or ribeye roast or whole tenderloin-you can get them at Sams/Costsco, they take a little cleaning up and trimming) in the oven and carve off steak sized slices. That way you get juices and and gravy and sauce (Bordelaise was just made for beef omg and it is so easy) etc and the house smells like wonderful roasted beef dripping when your guests arrive.

I normally just salt and pepper, into a hot cast iron, 3 ish minutes aside, add butter and thyme and spoon it over the steaks for a bit.

This would be an awesome time to get an SV dildo if I the occasion for the dinner wasn't "I'm about to jump on a plane to start a new job across the country". The second idea also sounds awesome but I would only try it in my own kitchen. I spend too much time hunting for spices and equipment in my parent's kitchen already.

If you're cooking at your parents' place and they have a yard or garden, you could rent a really big grill. My next door neighbors do this a couple of times each year. The local rental places around here all seem to have them, ranging from super elaborate propane ones to a huge but simple charcoal-fired Big John.

Holy gently caress, this looks so bad. Lean ground beef, bigass chunks of potato, and mirepoix but with turnip instead of celery for some reason, boiled for two hours with what looks like less than a tablespoon of salt as the only seasoning.

And it's called "stovies", as it's notable that it's a meal cooked on the stove, versus the deep fryer to which Scots are generally accustomed.

yeah this made me feel bad for the woman in the video talking about how delicious it is. not even some herbs to break up the brown. looked like literal poo poo on the plate. I'd like to know what she considers a bad meal.

Let’s all mock poor Scottish people for cooking something hearty and warming, lol who doesn’t have time after slaving away on the moors all day to brown their meat and use paprika?

Not to say the recipe couldn’t be improved, but when you’ve been outdoors in loving Scotland all day, you care more that your food is hot and filling than anything else. I’ve had stovies just like that quite a few times, and I’ve enjoyed them every time because I’ve been knackered and frozen and they’ve filled/warmed me up.

Let's see... a one-pot dish that lets the flavor of the ingredients shine through without a lot of spice or fuss? Yes please. I like my curries and herbs as well as the next person, but this looks amazing.

Would move to Scotland in a heartbeat if I could.

wasn't mocking the scot, my ending question was in earnest. And i understand that the recipe is probably traditional and familiar to a lot of people but imo it still looks very bland and unappealing.
