Same price as buying a same size box of knox anywhere else I shop. If it screws up my oil that'll be the bigger expense since its peanut. But W/E its science time.

Going to try the gelatin oil cleaning trick, but for some reason the grocery I shop at most of the time doesn't carry any gelatin just Bakol vegan stuff. Anyone try using this?
I know agar works so there are vegan possibilities. Dunno if Bakol works.

this stuff turned the entire batch of oil into weird chicken scented jel. Guess I'll try agar next.

I'm thinking about asking for a sausage grinder/stuffer attachment for my KitchenAid for Christmas. How steep is the learning curve/PITA factor for this kind of thing, especially for one person to operate? And can I make cured sausage without any additional equipment? I'm otherwise pretty competent in the kitchen but don't want some gadget taking up space I'll never feel like using.

Anyone have good ideas for sprucing up canned tuna? I usually add a chopped onion, half a lemon, garlic salt, soy sauce, some good brown mustard, a bit of hot sauce and lots of mayo, and it turns out really good, but there is always room for improvement.

Anyone have a recommendation for preparing pork belly? I got some good recommendations from Grand Fromage in the Japanese cooking thread but I figured I'd ask here too. If it matters the belly came pre sliced.

First, not to patronize you, but the solid white tuna is definitely worth the extra cost.

From there, I like to add harissa, minced onion, and capers. I'm trying to copy a Libyan-style tuna fish, written about movingly here.

Take your recipe, add some chopped walnuts or pecan, sesame oil, a pinch of sugar, rice vinegar and some cilantro. Lose the Mayo, use sesame and some soybean oil instead. Top with green onion slices

I suppose that depends on what your doing with it. I usually use my pork belly for ramen. It's done via a 16 hr sous vide cook. I can write up the recipe if you are interested. Other than that you could make chicharrones if you have a decent fat/meat ratio.

No not right now. Maybe in the future for sure. I'm trying to make it more of a main dish. I was thinking about char siu actually as a strong possibility.

I use shallots, celery, lemon, mustard, mayo and a hefty glug of fish sauce.

The recipe my favorite bagel shop uses is just salt, pepper, white pepper, duke's mayo, carrots, and celery. When I do it at home I tend to follow the same recipe and will only really introduce new flavors via tweeking homemade mayo.

Cajun cooking question! I followed this recipe to attempt to make eteouffee (mostly, I cooked the shrimp separately and just put it on top when I served it so I can just quick cook up some shrimp anew when I eat leftovers and not worry about over cooking the shrimp when reheating). It's... bland. It could be older spices just lacking their flavor, it could be that I underseasoned at the end but for people familiar with cajun cooking is there anything lacking in this recipe?

Older and cheaper kitchen appliances use acrylic as their clear plastic. They will crack over the years in the dishwasher.

Newer and higher end kitchen appliances use Tritan, which is dishwasher proof.

Breville appliances and newer Vitamixes/Kitchen-Aids/Cuisinarts use tritan. Look up product descriptions if you wanna be able to machine wash your junk

Lots of good suggestions. I'll have to try capers. Would a normal supermarket sell fish/oyster sauce or would I have to go to a fancy one for that?

These days you can get it at most supermarkets, but you might only have one or two options. And some goons are very particular about their brand of fish sauce!
I usually buy a big bottle at Kam Man, and it lasts me for a year or so, I don't really go through it that fast.

I feel like Oyster sauce is a little more common?

On the too many vegetables, thing, though - remember that there is not a single vegetable that exists which cannot be stir fried or kimcheed to great effect.

Off arm, but it's my wrist to my bicep so it's hard to hold food stable like for dicing/cutting.

It's also wrapped around my palm so I gotta keep it clean.

Ouch. Sorry you're having to deal with that.

Chili comes to mind, or rice/barley with the protein and veggies of your choice, or noodles/dumplings if you like them. Some groceries do have frozen pre-chopped onions, so that might help if you want to make soup. Frozen onions are not nearly as good as fresh, but they'll do in a pinch.

When I had a shoulder injury years ago I would occasionally make a one-pot dish using whole small onions, loads of baby carrots and whole fingerling potatoes, frozen peas, and pre-cut stewing beef, with whatever other veggies and herbs happened to be available that day.

Chole masala. Make a big batch, eat it with rice or bread. Bit of yogurt and lemon juice. Filling and delicious!

Thanks! I picked up some pre diced veggies and stew beef and threw them in the slow cooker with some beer and Worcestershire sauce, so hopefully it turns out well!

Any type of blended soup comes to mind.
Assuming you've mastered cracking eggs one handed: eggs + pre-diced/shredded ingredients.

Beer cheese soup. Pizza sliders. Deviled eggs with bacon.

Back when I was a broke grad student, home made hard candy was always a hit because people who've never made it have typically never had it before. (Bonus points for mixed, complementary flavors like vanilla and orange.)

Cheese dip with some tortilla chips. I could have stood over the crockpot pounding chip after chip.
This is titled 'Epic Cheese Dip' in my recipe folder.
Ingredients:
1 large block Velvita cheese
1 small green bell pepper
1 small white onion
2 cans Rotell (1 mild & 1 hot) Drained
1 packet taco seasoning
1 lb hamburger meat
2 bags tortilla chips
Directions:
Cube Velvita and put in crock pot. Turn crock pot on high until cheese melts and then reduce temperature to low. While you are waiting for the cheese to melt, dice up the bell pepper and onion. Brown hamburger meat. Add diced veggies and allow to cook. Now add the taco seasoning and follow the directions for it. Strain any excess liquid. Set mixture aside. Once the cheese has melted stir in strained Rotell and meat/veggie mix. Enjoy!
