Ducasse, for all of f the nonsense we used to have about it, is a fine indoor method for steak.

Sous vide (beer cooler style even) and a cast iron pan will do wonders for you as well. Or cast iron pan for 1 minute per side then throw it in the oven if you buy thick enough steaks.

Sous vide is out of the question for me assuming it's anything more complicated than boiling water in a pot + thermometer, and I don't have a vacuum sealer or anything. The cast iron pan will have to do, but the grocery store near me doesn't sell steaks thicker than maybe 3/4~1 inch...which is a loving pain. I'll figure it out. Also, when you need to pound chicken breast flat, does butterflying them work too? I've found pounding them to be kind of a pain in the rear end since you need to hit really hard sometimes, and it's easier for me to just split them.

yes, butterflying them is fine and is even recommended for getting them an even thickness when you get the real fun giganto ones that are tiny little rolling plains of chicken fields on one side and huge mountains of chicken boob on the other. Butterfly just the enormous part to create an even layer rather than the entire breast in that case, and if you aren't already, pound them flat on a cutting board between two sheets of plastic wrap sprayed with a light spray of cooking oil. Makes it easier.

Pollyanna posted:Getting diminishing returns from broiling strip steak. It's not really working out crust/ease-wise, and my caramelized soy sauce onions are still the star of the show when I make steak dinner. Reverse sear. Season the steak and bake it in the oven around 250 until it's 10 degrees cooler than your preferred doneness. Add a little oil to a cast iron, crank the heat as high as it can go, turn on every fan and open the drat windows, and sear the poo poo out of it. Perfect doneness and crispy crust. Doesn't really work with thin steaks but my go-to is T-bone. There has to be a word for the delicious crispy meat in the crannies of a T-bone, I can gnaw on a T-bone for a good half hour.

This past year has been a challenge, and that's OK. I can make it through anything, as long as I have my friends. I met this guy, and he's so incredibly kind, and likes me, and looks at me like I'm beautiful, and we talk for /hours/ about all the things. I went over to his house today, and we watched trashy TV, chattered on endlessly, and generally had a great time. Around 8:30 pm, he was like, "I'm getting hungry. Should we order in?" He'd just come back from a week in Orlando, so he hadn't done much grocery shopping. But I had seen rice, red lentils, some frozen veg in the freezer (when he opened the freezer to make me a drink), and spices galore. So I offered to cook. He looked pleasantly surprised. In like 30 minutes, I knocked out three courses: red lentil daal, rice pilaf, and tofu with veggies. He seemed shocked that you can make a dinner with so little, but that's one of the things I'm really good at. I got to his place at like 3 PM, and had to tear myself away at like 11:30 PM. He's so cute. And his tummy is soft, so that when I rest my head on it, it makes a good pillow. And he takes so much delight in showing me some of the things he enjoys. He loves looking at my face when he thinks I don't notice him staring. He's incredibly respectful of my boundaries, and of consent. Until I let him know that something is OK, he doesn't move forward. My face is sore from smiling so much. AND he's a good kisser. And he's generous to a fault. And I'm not scared of the silence when I'm with him. I don't want to gently caress it up, so I'm trying to go slowly, but it's hard when I have such a good time. AND? He's /earnest/ and honest with how he's doing. He told me that he would appreciate it if I'd text him when I got home, otherwise he'll worry and not be able to sleep. So at 12:30 AM, I texted him that I got home. He responded with a sincere thanks for keeping him updated, and then told me what a great time he had today. I'm nervous, and scared, and giggly, and giddy all at the same time. This is our second date, and I've managed to keep things light and fun without spilling too much of my personal stuff. I haven't smiled this much in a very long time, and I'm hoping that something more comes of this. But if it doesn't, I'm so glad that I found someone with whom I share so much in common. Knowing that such people exist gives me hope that I'll find love again. I know that sounds corny, but I've been so heartbroken since things between me and the ex fell apart. If you're of the religious type, please pray for me that this works out exactly the way it's supposed to so that we're both happy in the end. If that means that we become good friends? Great! If it means that we become boyfriends? Even better! Either way, I just want him to be happy.

I know that sounds corny, but I've been so heartbroken since things between me and the ex fell apart. dino., that's Hella gay and I'm also very jealous. About a month ago my ten year relationship with my boyfriend ended. There's more to it (both the story, and relationship specifics) than what I'll write here, but; The short version is, he thinks he wants kids. And he wasn't really feeling things as much after I last visited him, last September. But he kept it all in instead of TELLING me anything. Then about a week before we had a long long talk over a weekend, he tells me about "this girl I used to know wants kids." It's just a mess of a thing, but I'm doing alright and over it. Because he hosed up, not me. It sucks though, but I can't do much since he hasn't responded to anything since then. But anyways, I'm happy for you dino. Glad to hear you're doing good, you goofy sweet dude you <3

The photo of the sliced steak is really unimpressive, too. That grey band in each piece is no better than just pan-cooking a steak to midrare.

It's hard to tell because of how Amazon just jumbles reviews for different models together.

My grill is basically the first one without the storage below, and it's incredible. For an inexpensive grill it puts out a ton of heat. My one and only complaint is that heat distribution can be a LITTLE uneven sometimes, but it's a ridiculously minor gripe for an otherwise great product.

If it's just a hold over, just get something cheap. I got a little two burner a few years ago for that purpose and haven't had to replace it. I did some btu vs area comparisons up to $200 too and it was the highest. Got it on sale for like $90 at Lowe's.
