You can mix olive oil in at like 1 part to 5 parts canola. But straight olive oil mayo is not what I expect mayo to taste like, that's for sure

I feel like it's generally best to view evoo as seasoning that you add a little of carefully, to taste, at the end of whatever you're doing, but it seems like everyone always wants to use it for everything.

To be honest I use EVOO for everything, including pan-frying some chicken, and have never noticed anything off.

Light/cooking olive oil is so good. Higher smoke point, more neutral taste, cheaper. I regret ever buying those big glass bottles of extra virgin and using it as a general purpose cooking thing.

prom candy posted:I noticed that a lot of youtube cooks use giant wooden cutting boards for their prep. I have a couple of decent size ones but I stopped using them because they don't really fit in the sink. How do people keep these things clean? I do most of my prep on plastic boards now, are the big wooden blocks just for show? What kind of tiny sink do you have? It just has to fit under the tap not be immersed.

It's probably worth pointing out that what gets labelled as "extra virgin olive oil" is, at least in the US, wildly variable. And in the majority of cases, it does not even meet International Olive Council or USDA standards for extra virgin olive oil. Or at least that was the case a few years ago when UC Davis' Olive Center did testing. Here's a link to their Publications and Reports page, although the link on it to the report in question is broken (lol). Here's a link to a mirror of the report on some site called the The Olive Times. From the executive summary: UC Davis' Olive Center posted:Specific findings of our tests include (see Table 3 for summary of results): A bottle with none of these indicators is going to be a crap shoot. So if you've got a random grocery store bottle of something labelled extra virgin olive oil and it doesn't taste like evoo or if you're cooking with it and it's not behaving like evoo, then it's probably worth trying a different brand.

Le Creuset is having a sale. 4.5qt Dutch Oven is $208 and the wide round Dutch Oven is $183. From what I recall this thread was in agreement that a 4.5qt was a good size for the regular Dutch Oven.

ATK recommends "California Olive Ranch Destination Series Everyday Extra Virgin Olive Oil," which is all domestic from CA. Just check the back of the bottle, because the brand also does imported blends

Yeah the hard data is important and all but I’m trying to put together a loving GROCERY LIST here. At the end of the day I don’t give a gently caress about seeing the labor, just show me the loving baby.

Gei posted:Do any of these loving nerd rear end wall-o-text studies have, like, lists of what olive oil BRANDS I should buy/avoid? after I read something like this a few years ago, I started buying only California Olive Ranch extra virgin, just because the paper trail seems harder to fake (but I'm in the US). I understand that the cooking olive oil situation is similarly scandalous, in that a lot of the oil doesn't even come from olives, but Filippo Berio seems to be consistent and tasty, whether or not it's truly 100% olive oil.

I have 4, 6, and 8 qt round le creusets and the 6 qt is far and away the most useful, but if I had to pay for any of them i would have gotten lodge. Le creuset is nicer but it’s $20 nicer, not triple the price on sale nicer

Internet Explorer posted:Are Dutch Ovens as amazing as people say? I've never used one. Yes. They can't be beat for anything slow cooked between the stove and oven (chili, stew, pasta sauces, etc) and they're even great for bread if you're into that. I have had one of these for 5 or 6 years now and it gets used a couple times a week: Lodge Enameled Dutch Oven.

Internet Explorer posted:Are Dutch Ovens as amazing as people say? I've never used one. They are very versatile. If you were forced to have only one pot/pan you could cook just about anything in it. Bake a casserole? Sauté veggies? Make a stew? Slow braised ribs? Roast a chicken? Bake bread? Make popcorn? Heck, a cast iron lodge doesn’t even really need an oven, hence the name. Stick it on some hot coals and shovel some onto the lid the way they did back out on the range.

At the county fair where I live they have a cast iron cooking competition where it it literally people using Dutch ovens to cook on open fires . They have to do like a full meal. It’s pretty neat and the food is usually pretty good.

I have an enameled dutch oven that is my "bring it with me" pot when going to airbnb's or cabins or anything else where I don't know what the kitchen is going to have. I can and have cooked every meal for an entire weekend in that one pot.

I've been using an Amazon basics Dutch oven (the largest one they make) and it's been fully acceptable. Biggest difference is that it's not rated for temps over 400 I think. I still use it for bread at 450 and haven't had any issues. For someone new to the Dutch oven game and who is going enameled I'd say you can't go wrong for the price. Do not get a Dutch oven with a plastic handle on the lid though no matter what.

Probably over thinking this, but I want a fish spatula, and the wusthoff recommended by America's Test Kitchen is out of stock. Anyone got one that they really like and recommend? I can always get a generic one if I need to, but I wanted to see if someone here really loves theirs.
