Suspect Bucket posted:How do you guys store your rice? The bags they come in are quite ponderous. Should I go for giant square Tupperware? Glass jars for varieties that I buy in smaller quantities. For the bulk stuff like brown rice, I offload it from the big bag into several repurposed bpa-free nut jars that I've accumulated. Each one holds several pounds, and the narrower grip area on the back makes the jar easier to handle. The labels come off, and you end up with a nice transparent/lightweight/sealable container. They look nice all lined up in the pantry closet, and the contents stay fresh.

Nephzinho posted:Where does everyone go for inspiration for new poo poo? After a year I finished my renovation of consolidating all of my cookbooks. Then moved on to a bunch of cookbook adjacent things I had bookmarked. Then moved on to learning a bunch of German food for my wife's family. I'm spending the next few weeks doing some mexican (not really mexican, more SF mission burritos) -- but at that point I'm literally out of ideas. Do I just start watching tv and making notes if I see anything interesting, or start going back through cookbooks I'd shelved after taking 2-3 things, or start looking at BA youtube channel outside of Gourmet Makes? What do you do when you are looking for inspiration? Taking "time off" from new stuff is a valid answer, seeing as its almost soup weather. I tend to go to a grocery store or farmers' market to spot ingredients that I haven't used before, and then have a grand old time figuring out what to do with them.

If you're cooking at your parents' place and they have a yard or garden, you could rent a really big grill. My next door neighbors do this a couple of times each year. The local rental places around here all seem to have them, ranging from super elaborate propane ones to a huge but simple charcoal-fired Big John.

prayer group posted:The point I want to make here is that cheap comfort food doesn't have to be bland necessarily, and in fact I think it's kind of condescending toward disadvantaged people to insist so. Salt is extremely cheap. So is black pepper. Using those in that dish would make it orders of magnitude better, while costing only pennies more (or I guess pence, since we're in Scotland here). It is truly baffling that I'm getting blowback on the food subforum for saying that food can and should be seasoned. Not everyone is accustomed to (or desires) added salt in food, and if you don't habitually use it in everything, then the flavor of the other ingredients becomes more pronounced to you. I stopped salting stuff routinely years ago. True that a lot of people do add salt as a default, but if you don't habitually use it, then it can taste unpleasant when you do. It might be worth thinking about why "bland" should have any negative connotation in the first place? I'd like to think there's room on the cuisine spectrum for mild things as well as highly seasoned things. Personally I like both, and I like to switch them up.

His Divine Shadow posted:Anyone have got a favorite lasagna recipe of the ricotta type? I've been meaning to make it ever since I saw ricotta cheese is a thing we now have in stores here. Well, mine is probably non-canonical in some ways, but it uses homemade noodles and sauce, and I've been making it for decades and people always like it, so here goes. I looked back ITT and oddly people don't seem to post actual recipes very much, but I guess they can scroll past if they want to! Lasagna: Noodles: 1-3/4 cups flour 1 tsp salt 1 tsp baking powder 2 large eggs, beaten Sift flour with salt and baking powder. Make a well in the center, add eggs, coax flour into the eggs, and fold until thoroughly blended. Gather into a claggy dough and knead on a floured board just until smooth. (A bench knife is helpful at the start.) Roll very thin (1 to 2 mm), keeping as rectangular as is possible, on floured board; let rest for 20 minutes. Cut into strips 3 inches wide and about 11 inches long. Toss gently to separate the noodles from each other, and allow to dry on a floured muslin towel for 3 to 4 hours. (Top with another muslin if you'll be leaving them for longer.) Sauce: 10 cups canned crushed tomatoes 2/3 cup tomato paste 1 large onion, chopped fine 3 cloves garlic, chopped fine 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 tablespoon salt 1 tsp fennel seeds 1 tsp dried basil 2 tablespoons snipped parsley 2 cups water (use less if crushed tomatoes have a lot of juice) Sauté onion and garlic in oil. Add tomato paste and continue sautéing. Add crushed tomatoes, salt, water, and fennel seeds. Simmer uncovered, stirring often, for one hour or until nicely thickened. Add basil and parsley. (Note, if you want to add meat to this recipe, you could brown it and add it to the sauce before the final simmer.) Cheese: 3 lbs ricotta 4 eggs ¼ cup snipped parsley 1 tablespoon fennel seeds 1 tablespoon salt 2 tsp or more black pepper (adjust as desired) 2 tsp or more cayenne 1 lb mozzarella, shredded 1 cup Romano or parmesan, shredded Keep mozzarella and Romano separate. About two hours before you want to serve, mix ricotta, eggs, herbs, and spices. Assembly and baking: 1. Cook noodles in simmering well salted water until toothsome. Quench each one quickly in ice water. Hang cooked noodles over edge of pasta basket to drain so that they don’t stick together. 2. Layer in large flat pan, oiled (mine is 14x10x3 inches), beginning with sauce, then noodles, then ricotta, then mozzarella, lastly parmesan. Repeat layering until pan is nearly full, ending with mozzarella and parmesan on top. 3. Bake in 400 F oven for one hour, then let rest on top of stove for 15-30 minutes to set for cutting. Garnish with extra snipped parsley if desired. Note that the proportions for the sauce can be adjusted to your preference, there's nothing magic about them. You can add an extra onion, more fennel, or change up the spices if you wish. The fennel seed does give a good umami kick, so it's good to have it in there.

I bake fancy-rear end cakes for friends' birthdays (who usually have parties at bars or the like) and can't find one that's taller than about 8" inside. I can't figure out where to look for a taller cake carrier, or if they even exist. If not I'm going to need to figure out some annoying way to safely take a giant cake in a Lyft without disaster, so I suppose I'd also accept suggestions for how to do that. Depending upon how tall it needs to be, you might check for vintage cake carriers on ebay. I have a tin one from the 1940's that is 14 inches tall, and Tupperware used to make them in varying heights. You can also get tall cardboard cake boxes (Amazon has them). Some hatboxes are tall enough too. I have also used a 5-gallon plastic beer brewing bucket for really tall things (e.g. a croquembouche). If you put the cake plate on the lid, you can lower the bucket over it and seal it. It might get you some funny looks if you carry an upside-down beer bucket into a bar, though.

Jaded Burnout posted:OK so I did a modified version of this, and we got closer. Perhaps y'all can suggest some tweaks. Glad you're getting closer! I think the thing with any of these is to end up with something that is healthful and that you'll actually consume and be willing to make again, and you'll always be able to add more of the green stuff as you get used to it, if you want to. With the parsley, one thing I found out is that freshness makes a huge, huge difference. Really fresh parsley doesn't have as much of the grassy or bitter notes; when freshly picked, I find that it is snackable by itself. I eventually ended up growing my own in a little Aerogarden for that reason. Also in my recipe, "peeled" cucumber definitely means take the peel off. I forget sometimes that "peeled" can mean opposite things to different people. Also, if you ever happen across swiss chard in the market, give it a try - it's a bit milder even than spinach, and it packs the same nutritional wallop.

Rocko Bonaparte posted:Has anybody here dabbled with thickeners in cobbler? I find mine are too runny and the standard tricks affect the flavor or don't work to the level I want. There's a barbecue place I passed through today whose cobbler gelled on the sides of the bowl like it was Jello, and I'm starting to wonder if they're using gelatin. I've tried cornstarch and getting to the level I want affects the flavor. Flour affects the flavor even sooner before it thickens. I've tried pectin and not had much success. For example, I used that with a 9x13 for some blueberry cobbler I mashed up beforehand as well as with trying to do a blueberry pie and neither really tightened up like I wanted. Have you tried ClearJel? It is essentially cornstarch that's been treated with a bit of acid, and that treatment makes it really good for setting fruit pies and cobblers, even ones with acidic fruits that other thickeners can't handle. It doesn't affect the flavor, and it stays really clear.

Could you have a barrier of, say, fire bricks or metal, and put a separate container of water nearer the door where you can move or refill it easily?

DasNeonLicht posted:This looks terrific. Congrats on the Lodge skillet! If you find that you like it, you'll use it for many decades. It is actually really hard to ruin them, as long as you do two things: season the pan well, and never wash it with soap or detergent. My approach is probably not considered orthodoxy, but I use my cast iron ware (purchased in 1977) daily, for almost everything except making marinara sauce or boiling pasta. (I have a graniteware pan and a large stainless kettle for those.) I think Lodge comes pre-seasoned, but even so, it is important to season it: rinse it, dry thoroughly, put a generous amount of coarse salt in and scrub with a rag (not an abrasive pad), tip out the excess salt but don't worry about getting it all, rub it inside and out with fat (lard is traditional but a high-temp vegetable oil like peanut works fine too), and put it in a 350 degree oven for 45 minutes or so. Then while the pan is still warm, rub the fat in some more, and it's ready to use. To clean it after use, just wipe it out, scrubbing with more salt and oil if need be. (On rare occasions,I'll put a bit of water in the pan and heat to boiling, then scrape, drain, and rub with lots more oil to remove really stuck detritus.) tl:dr - go forth and cook. Season your pan well to start, then make that chicken without worry; just clean the pan properly (and promptly) afterward. And remember that if it ever starts looking dull, you can always repeat the initial seasoning process to get it back to like new. edit to add that there is one more thing to do but it applies to all cookware, I think: don't drop it or subject it to thermal shocks.

Mr. Wiggles posted:Strong disagree on your last point - land is not land is not land. Sheep and goats can be efficiently raised on marginal land which is not suitable for cattle. It is the ability of cattle to exist in a feed lot that gives them the efficiency advantage, but that's not necessarily an ecologically friendly efficiency. It makes more sense to use the soybeans we feed to cows to feed humans, and raise goats in deserts where we can't grow soybeans. Friendly amendment - deserts and drylands are ecologically extremely sensitive, and important to the planet's heat balance. Goats are well adapted for those regions, but they can't be allowed to eat whatever they want to; they have to be managed carefully to be sustainable, and that is a challenge for goatkeepers everywhere.

Chances are that if the family has never used the smoker they were given, they have no clues as to what's involved and how much time it takes. If you explain it, maybe they'll back off. But if you really want to do it - do you need to fly? If you could drive and therefore control how the bird is keeping, you could smoke it where you are, then double bag and put it in one of those styro boxes with the really tight fitting lids, and dry ice it (or even regular ice) while you travel. I took a bunch of delicate family-recipe pies across country once like that, checking seals and replenishing the ice every time I stopped at a motel for the night.

hooah posted:My wife makes these Oreo truffles that are delicious, but coating then in chocolate is currently a huge pain in the rear end. The way we're currently doing it is to melt some chocolate chips in the microwave with a little vegetable oil. The main problem is the chocolate stiffens up after just a few truffles, so it's got to be reheated. Also, trying to dip them in a bowl and use spoons to coat them is tedious. Is there anything we could do to make the process easier? There's a whole art and a lot of science to this for people who do it often. Keeping the chocolate warm using poeticoddity's method would work well. In my case, I put it on a warming plate (the kind that is sold for people to keep their mug of tea or coffee warm). Possibly the most useful tool to have is a chocolate dipper, which is essentially a coiled wire or a couple of tines with a handle. I prefer the coiled wire. There are commercial ones, but I made mine by re-bending a couple of the egg dippers that come with Easter egg dye packages. The coil just needs to be a little wider than the truffle, and cupped a little bit so that the truffle stays put. With a dipper, you can dip the truffle in, flip it around to cover, and lift it back out with minimal mess.

BrianBoitano posted:Those all sound like great ideas, but I'd also strongly recommend you switch from chocolate chips to bar chocolate. Chocolate chips are formulated to not melt in the oven, so you're fighting food scientists when you try to force it by adding vegetable oil. This is a really good point. Depending upon how large a batch of truffles you're making, it might be worth buying chocolate wafers or chunks explicitly for melting and dipping. King Arthur Flour has Valrhona, Guittard and Callebaut as well as some organics. Amazon has some of these too. FaradayCage posted:How long can you leave frying oil in a countertop fryer without issues? As others have said, your oil should be fine.

GhostofJohnMuir posted:does anyone have a suggested approach for guava ice cream made from a batch of fresh guavas? i've never really made any flavors other than chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry. i'm thinking of scooping out the seeds and pulp and then blending skin and flesh into a puree, then tossing that into my standard ice cream base, but i'm wondering if it would be better to reduce everything to a slightly jam-y consistency before hitting it with an immersion blender. searching online doesn't come up with any recipes that inspire great confidence Sounds like a delicious thing to make. IIRC, fresh guava does contain substantial amounts of papain which is a protease enzyme, and so you can't add it to recipes that rely on proteins to set up properly unless you cook the fruit to inactivate the papain first. (Gelatin is the classic example of something that won't set up in the presence of papain, which is why one can't successfully put fresh pineapple in gelatin.) I don't have first-hand experience on how that chemical process would translate for ice cream, but I suspect that if the ice cream base you use is a custard, then it might have an effect. Reducing the guava puree with heat would inactivate the papain, so that would be the safer route. Maybe someone else here has actual first-hand experience with it though and can give you better advice. TofuDiva fucked around with this message at 21:40 on Nov 28, 2019 |

He's now gone back to his island and I still have a couple of generous quarts of the spinach. It's probably past its prime for salads, but would still serve well with light cooking.
