I’ve had some real good luck just following recipes and having things come out alright. I’ve been through a bunch of video recipes and it gives me enough confidence to screw up every so often. I made creme brûlée after having never done a custard or that before. I went with a quart of cream and measured what I thought was a third for a test batch and it came out wonderfully . For the real batch I just dumped everything that was left figuring it would be right until I had enough liquid for another ramekin at the end. It seemed to set alright so I went with it. After torching and serving I realized what the effect of this was as my custard began melting quickly into vanilla slurry  . Could have been worse I suppose after reading this thread I could have tried to glass rock salt on top or something but still - cock up cause I got cocky .

Not so much a cockup but just a thoroughly meh dish. A kinda mole pork belly, onion, and bok choy stir fry thing. Just kinda bland and uninspiring. I ate some celery and ranch dressing and two pieces of leftover chicken kabob instead. The GF had a bowl of it and declared it not great but not disgusting either. There was no "mmmmmm". Fake edit: How have I not noticed "Disiasters" in the six years this thread has been open?

I forgot that heating my milk & cream up would eventually cause them to reduce, and now I only have like 2 cups worth of ice cream to bring to this potluck

Astrofig posted:Can, uh, can we get a recipe for this caffeinated ice cream? It's very standard, 2 cups of heavy cream (or, if you're like me and can't seem to find that, whipping cream) 1 cup 2%milk Heat in double boiler until steaming. Add 3 tbsp flavoured black tea (mine was 'spiced apple caramel') and brew in the hot milk, stirring, for 5 minutes Remove from heat and dissolve in 1/2 cup white sugar. Strain, pressing the tea for liquid, refrigerate, prepare in the donvier you got a crazy good deal on at the thrift store

I was thinking coffee when I read caffeinated, and you could have passed the small servings off as Ice Cream Espresso.

Why bother heating that? You're not making a custard. Just letting it steep longer in the fridge would be way simpler.

I was just following the general vibe of all the recipes I could find online would the tea still extract that way?

Sure, it would extract, the same as cold brew coffee. For ice cream without a custard in general, the term you can look up is Philadelphia ice cream. That's all I make, it's so easy and good.

I don't like melons, generally. There's a "melon flavour" that I just don't like. It's not disgusting or anything, I taste it in every melon I've had. I wonder if roasting a melon would remove that taste?

Yeah, it's dry and cool, and since it was wrapped and in a pocket, whatever microbes that could have made it go bad probably died in a very short time.

Tried making potato pancakes tonight. I'm not sure if too much milk was involved, or not enough egg/flour, but they never did crisp up all the way. Ended up baking them in the oven and thatgotthe outside crispy enough, but inside it was still too soft.

Were you going for latkes or rosti or pancakes w/ potato in them, what was the original intent, because it doesn't usually involve milk in my mind. e: Whatever the case you need to squeeze as much liquid from the grated potato as possible. angerbot fucked around with this message at 06:44 on Nov 14, 2019 |

Made carne guisada yesterday. For some reason the liquid just...never cooked off at all, and it never thickened up. Texture of the meat was perfect, flavor was on point, just it's more like beef soup than a proper guisada. It'll still be fantastic leftovers so I'm not sure it qualifies for this thread, just threw me off - this is something I've made dozens of times, and I've never had this issue.

You basically have to press like like a Salem witch to get all the Satan out. E: i hosed up dakgalbi by accidentally pouring about a third of a bottle of ponzu on it last night. Yes, I know ponzu isn't Korean, that's not the point!

Pan fry them in hot oil just to crisp up the outside. Top with a fried egg, green onions, sour cream and hot sauce. Not a latke but very good.

I will try some cornstarch next time I make them. They make a great lunch if you have access to a stove since you can make them up ahead of time and then fry the potato and egg when you're ready to eat.

Sounds like you were making the kind of potato cakes we had when I was growing up: http://nessasfamilykitchen.blogspot.com/2012/03/potato-cakes.html She puts egg in hers, which we never did, but I don't have an actual recipe for ours since it was all done by eyeballing the amounts. The key to getting a texture that doesn't fall apart is using enough flour, but if you use too much they get really leathery and unpleasant.

A long time ago in undergrad, me and a couple of friends were cooking, and one of them managed to completely gently caress up his pinky finger with a vegetable peeler. Not the vertical knife kind, but the horizontal safety kind: Nobody could understand how he'd skinned himself with it, so we just patched it up as well as we could and he sat out the rest of the prep drinking to get over the shame and pain. Months later, the other friend started culinary school and was in the middle of the introductory lessons on safety. The instructor was showing tools and utensils and talking about safety concerns and mitigation for each, burners and knifes and boiling pots etc. He then reaches to a vegetable peeler and goes "except for this one of course, what kind of idiot could hurt themselves with it haha" and my friend had to excuse herself a bit because she was ugly snort laughing.

Not the vertical knife kind, but the horizontal safety kind: I have hosed up with a cheese plane before. Holding the cheese with one hand, dragging the plane towards me, and when it gets close to the rind it just sort of gets a little stuck. I give it a little more force and it swipes at the bottom of my hand.  You can barely see it but there's still a little scar left on it. This is actually the second time I've done this. I also sliced a hunk off my thumb before lol. The cheese was edam.

I attempted to make pastry. I foolishly assumed when they said “up to 1.5 cups of cold water” one could reasonably add, say, half of that to start. Not so!
