When I'm gonna add corn to a ramen I sip on the canned corn water while the regular water heats up.

This case of an intraperitoneal zucchini is unusual, and does raise questions as to how hard one has to push a blunt vegetable to perforate the rectum.

When I worked at Domino's, to refill the pineapple container we would drain off the juice in the can so the prep container wouldn't be full of juice cause that's nasty. I'd drain it into a cup because that was some super tasty juice.

Did someone say pork shoulder ? Get yourself a clay pot. Mine has a heavy lid, so it acts like a pressure cooker, but the glazed ceramic is at oven temperature less than an inch from the meat so it browns in the pot.



That was a carrots and onions run. It also works beautifully with a couple cans of (drained) black beans.

Using the can water doesn't seem weird? Like the veggies have been soaking in it you want whatever possible flavour you can extract from your can of sad veg and you need to add water anyway for it to cook, so just use the can water and reduce it as needed? Like if you have too much water just make it hot with the lid off and water go away.

The weird thing for me is adding salt cos I imagine they're probably pretty salty to begin with. Or like, add an oxo cube or something instead at least god drat.

Nah (at least in the UK) tinned veg used to be super salty when I was a kid, that's why I liked them because my mum doesn't believe in seasonings, but they're all reduced/no salt and super bland now.

A small amount I'd get, the combined liquid amount for that amount of veg/protein seems super excessive though, especially with no thickener, maybe the potato starch helps?

I dunno, because I'm not a horrible person who would cook something like that.

Please ignore the fact that I'm eating a can of beets with a fork, tia.

If I'm cooking with canned vegetables I'll usually use the vegetable liquid in lieu of salt. I mostly only use canned goods for crockpot stuff anyways so I'm not expecting anything fancy.

Super triggered by the not draining of the cans because it's a crock pot, those things get damp as hell. You barely need any liquid to cook with them unless you're making a soup because they just sort of sweat the food as it cooks. Guarantee that bland slop she made was just loving swimming at the end.

I always drain anything canned that goes in the crockpot. You almost always end up with far more liquid than you need at the end unless you're leaving the lid off for the last 3 hours. Which you should. Because then you end up with a nice thick saucey mess of concentrated flavor instead of bland water.

My sister once made crockpot lasagna and didn't heed my warnings. It ended up lasagna soup.

Well yeah but that makes the weird bit putting the lid on rather than putting the water in.

When I was growing up, my mom would never drain canned vegetables. It was always two cans of green beans in to the small serving bowl and into the microwave for 2 minutes, serve with a slotted spoon.

Microwave cooking is a little different than slow cooker cooking, is the thing. Leaving the water in on can vegetables (and/or draining them after cooking) helps the microwaving process instead of giving you even grosser, dessicated veg. If you're putting that stuff in a crock pot, though, well.

There's a tradition here called "kettle hots" where the butchers sell boiled sausage right out of a huge kettle of boiling water that they keep adding new sausages to over the course of the morning, up until lunch. People go as late as possible because of the additional flavor from hours of sausaged water.

I know people that do their own in crock pots but idk if I want my apartment to smell like stew 24/7. I don't know that I don't either, mind.

That most emotionally scarring thing anyone has ever said to me was "You always smell like a soup. You're a Soup Girl. SOUP GIRL." And then I got called Soupgirl for all of high school. The saddest part was I smelled like a soup because my Mema always had a stew pot full of leftovers on the stove. And yeah. I smelled like delicious soup. Stop making me cry about how amazing soup is.

I'm still mad about a random joke in the movie Juno because of this. Stupid soups.
