But they're great on popcorn if you put them in the oil with the corn kernels.

I don't know why I've never thought of that and now all I want to do is go home and make a bunch of popcorn.

Serious Eats has definitely gone downhill content-wise since they decided to focus more on long-form pieces and drastically cut the number of daily posts, but there's still occasionally some good poo poo. I really dislike the latest redesign but if you click on "Latest" at the bottom, the layout is similar to the old one.

Serious Eats: Just put it in a loving waffle iron already.

Yeah I scoffed at a SV setup forever since I didn't want to shell out for a foodsaver. Then I just bought an Anova a couple months ago and have just been using ziploc bags. Haven't had an issue yet. Though, I've just done steaks and chops and poo poo. I figured anything that needed to be puddled for longer than a couple hours might need to be actually sealed all the way. Maybe I'm wrong!

Do all advertisements for alcohol have a gambling help-line at the bottom in Vegas? Do they think people are going to be gambling and then go hit up Guy's Bar 'n "Grill" for $20 pitchers after losing a bunch of money at the casino? Instead of going to some shady liquor store to pick up some fortys with the change in their pockets?

I think it's a "here is signage in a casino" thing.

I think it's because the carbonation adds bubbles to the batter, which in turn pop open for more surface area? I'm sure someone has a more :science: answer.

And beer batter tastes good.

It's a monster - 60+ episodes of an hour each, per season. I like the UK series' too, even the celebrity edition - the contestants are just treated like normals: tough challenges, honest criticism. I think at least one has gone on to be a cook after appearing on the show.

Oh no doubt it's a marathon. I generally have to watch in little weekly binges to catch up.

HOW? I dump vast quantities of salt into my pasta water, and I’ve literally never oversalted it. Are you hypersensitive to salt, or did you try to make pasta in a supersaturated solution?

Speaking of which, favorite add ins for japanese curry? Apparently I'm a newb if I don't add grated apple and honey, but what else?

An old roommates wife (well girlfriend when we lived together) was Japanese, she always added a Hershey's chocolate bar (one bar for each whole pack of bricks), along with a bunch of shredded cheddar cheese near the end of cooking time. That's been my go to.

Grits are underappreciated. I know they are more commonly eaten here in the southern US but you should really try them if you have not. Regardless, I want to be able to have grits at work so I have purchased an "instant grit" variety pack. I have not tried them yet. Have I made a huge mistake? I'm betting I have. I just don't have a way to boil grits for 7 minutes at work. I suppose I could make them at home and warm them at work but that takes planning ahead and well, I'm bad at that.

Also, if you already like grits, try them with smoked gruyere cheese in them, it's amazing.

No self-respecting Southerner uses instant grits!

As a southerner (and therefore mayonnaise expert) Dukes is fine but overhyped. Hellman’s is the best off the shelf mayo imo.

My local grocery store started carrying Dukes a few months back, and I wanted to try it because of the hype. It tastes pretty much just like Hellman's to me? So now I just buy whatever one is on sale :shrug:

I love mayo, I love ranch powder as a seasoning, I love buttermilk. But somehow I just can't bring myself to enjoy ranch dressing. It is always too sweet and weirds me out, or at best I just wish it were blue cheese dressing instead.

Like it's literally my one food ick. Chicken feet? Century eggs? 140f sous vide chicken? durian? I'm happy to eat any of these, but ranch dressing I just can't do. idgi

Have you only tried bottled stuff or have you had a good scratch made? Any ranch in a bottle I find is kinda gross, but I love making fresh stuff, even just with Hidden Valley seasoning packets.

Ketchup is an overly sweet condiment that's used to get kids to eat things they don't want to eat so say what you will. Sure there's a time and place for it but I keep thinking back to watching my 8 year old nephew put about a cup on ketchup on his entire meal and that's just gross dude.


Also, why would anyone want a sickly sweet sauce on a good burger?

I'm from Pittsburgh so will defend Heinz to the death. Ketchup #1. Ketchup and mayo on a good burger is great.

This post awakened a deep memory in me of when Anne Burrell opened a new restaurant next to my apartment that sold an 'insalata chopata'

Which was an 11 dollar plate where they bought one of each canned vegetable at the shoprite down the street and mixed them together

Also the cheese and crackers plate which again, was literally triscuits and dijon mustard from next door with some random sweaty wax cheese for 9ish bucks

That restaurant closed real fuckin fast

I remember reading about this place when it closed. For fun, here's a picture of that salad that the restaurant themselves put up on Yelp. Imagine paying 14$ for this:
