Thanks, especially the Nike band. I kinda assumed a lot of that stuff like Pebbles and w.e were trashy. I think a band would be good compared to an app cuz I have a phablet and I don't want to destroy it accidentally running.

I think you can find extremely basic knife tutorials in GWS, but noone is telling anyone how to butcher a chicken or scale a fish or anything as far as I know. :geno:

Hell I'd be suprised if there was even like a filet knife tutorial, or anything out of standard chef knifery

this is a good no nonsense salmon filleting tutorial if you know how to fillet one fish you basically know how to fillet them all more or less cutting fish is much more about feeling where the bones are with your knife and keeping along them as closely as possible i have personally cut over a thousand salmon and many other types so feel pretty good about talking cutting fish in detail

practice and watching videos definitely helps with that. the first time I filleted a salmon was an absolute mess, but now I can cleanly get nice full slabs of meat and remove the pin bones without a fuss or damaging the flesh at all.

yeah but if you buy a whole fish from fishermen or fishmongers you generally get a better deal than the grocery store and if it only takes you like 20 minutes, you're still way ahead on time

cooking is an almost universally shared task and not investing a modicum of effort into your diet and making the act of cooking more civilized seems foolhardy but hey whatever thanks obama

Do you just have a jar of citric acid? Also what is that process

that sounds like some good pasta. I never had an emulsified sauce with sodium citrate before, tho there's lots of emulsified sauces in cooking. I bet you make some really good food tho. i would eat that.

its sodium citrate so it's a white powder/salt. essentially its the same process that kraft and velveeta use to turn crappy fake cheese into meltable cheese, but this way you can turn fancy cheese (gouda, parmesan, blue, whatever) into meltable cheese

THAT"S WHAT THAT IS?

I've been to a kraft facility and it was the most unholy place I've ever experienced. So much mayo. So much. uguhguhguhghkuybkakdhgdsas

yeah it's REALLY easy and makes amazing mac and cheese (i just adapted it to cacio e pepe), it eliminates any "floury" or "doughy" taste you'd have from a traditional mac and cheese made with a bechamel sauce also you don't have to make a bechamel sauce

they usually use sodium phosphate which is harder to get food-grade from the grocery store or online, though we have a big thing of it in lab. sodium citrate works exactly the same but has a SMALL SMALL hint of acidity/sourness that is overcome by the massive amoutn of chees e in the sauce

fuck. marry. t-rex

Do you like shred it and sift some acid into it? Or what lol

Bwee
recipe:

add 12 g (~5 teaspoons) sodium citrate to 1.25 cups water or milk (milk works well for mac and cheese, starchy pasta water works well for other things, etc)
bring to a simmer
drop in a handful of shredded/crumbled cheese
use an immersion blender to mix, mix mix
add more cheese
mix mix mix
etc., until it's thick enough/tastes cheesy enough

pour over pasta

iirc it was just powders+oil=cheese but I was doing robot things in the warehouse and didn't want to go through the assembly lines more than I had to

yeah the oil is the fake cheese (well like the whey or whatever, cheese food) and the powders are probably sodium phosphate to emulsify the fake cheese oil into a brick of cheese

why do you keep thinking sodium citrate is an acid (well it is weakly acidic as its a salt of citric acidactually its basic and used as an acid buffer apparently, but it is definitely not the same thing as culinary citric acid)
