It's good

I doubt it
Crock pot vs Dutch oven
Why use a dutch oven? I know there has to be a reason why it's better and I want to be less of a pleb
What's wrong with owning both?
>>8720243
What do you use dutch oven for though?
A cast iron dutch oven is one of the GOAT tier pieces of kit you can own.
One of the most important aspects of building flavor in your meals is caramelizing your ingredients, and a cast iron dutch oven allows you to do that better than damn near everything while giving you a huge volume to work with, and then you can add a broth and slowly simmer that bitch on a range, in a fire, or in an oven.
Jambalaya's, gumbo's, stir fry meals, corn bread, roasts, you can do all kinds of kick ass cooking in a cheapy lodge cast iron dutch oven.
whats in your fridge?
Who the FUCK'S fridge opens to the left?
What kind of LOSER are you, op?
>>8719952
haha this
beta fridge right there op
>>8719952
Don't listen to this guy. He's a semen gargler. I have 3 refrigerators that open to the left. And it's better that way.
What are some of /ck/'s essential-tier cookbooks?
Pic related is mine.
>>8719576
Loving this book, some of the recipes and processes can be rather involved. I've made about 5 or 6 things out of it and the results have been great.
>>8719576
La Technique by Jacques Pepin is essential
>muh crumb
Eat shit, crumbfags. My bread tasted delicious.
>i'm a shit baker
>g-good bread s-sucks!
>>8719066
What the fuck are you on about?
>>8719078
I went onto a bread forum and posted the bread I made. Everyone was like
>let's see muh crumbshot
So I pisted this picture and they said
>muh crumb muh crumb
A bunch of homos
overrated and useless without some sort of catalyst to carry its uselessness. discuss.
I eat them raw, with a bit of salt. They're great. It's white people who feel the need to mix it into all their artisanal whatever-the-fuck.

i once walked in on my drunk step mom eating an avocado like that out of her bare hands standing in her underwear in the middle of the kitchen at like 1am. i had friends over and they saw too and thats why i hate avocados.
I wouldn't say flavorless but straight avocado isn't great in large quantities by itself, in my opinion. I do have a friend who likes to eat it raw with a touch of salt
Doesn't make it any less of an amazing ingredient tho. Avocado-cilantro-salt is very simple and tasty and obviously guacamole is great too
how does /ck/ cut their pizza?
With a knife
>>8718124
>scissors to cut pizza
sounds pretty autistic to me
>>8718124
I use scissors on my PB&Js
Get a really long pair, and now you have one blade for PB, one blade for jelly, and can cut the sandwich perfectly afterwards. Only one thing to clean, efficient.
I love the taste of Reeses Cups but I always get a stomach ache soon after eating them.
I just had three of the miniatures and I feel nauseas.
Maybe you're fucking allergic to peanut butter?
>>8717508
Alfredo, especially shitty kind from pizza chains always destroys me
>>8717508
lol fag
What is the best Egg Salad recipe?
>>8717455
>lettuce
not that
Boil 3+ brown large eggs 12minutes
Run cold water into pot until room temperature ( don't dump hot water, this prevents shell sticking )
Peel eggs immediately after ( the sooner the less sticking )
Wash eggs, dry, place in bowl
Cut the eggs
Heavy salting, light peppering
Add 1 spoonful of Mayo/Mwhip per 3 eggs
Next toppings
Add fresh lettuce, bacon/jerky, chicken, macaroni, broccoli, seasonings etc into bowl, mix well.
Spread on Canadian white or wraps but any bread will do, alternatively lightly toast and butter the bread.
>>8717484
>egg SALAD
>no lettuce
u wot
First Trump, now this.

Amazing.

Pic related, my lunch set.
Only did 30 covers for lunch. Pretty relaxing day desu. Had a couple of VIP tables that I really got to pay attention to what I sent out. Feels good man.
I know that one pan is wonky. Dont bitch.
I've honestly been to Subways that have lines that look better than this. Get your shit together lad.
>>8716184

A year and one week
Welcome to the /ck/ challenge: Monthly edition!
THREAD 4!!!!
The theme is announced on the 1st of every month, and submissions are welcome up until the 23rd.
After that the voting/rating thread goes up and everyone is welcome to vote on the submitted dishes.
VOTING GUIDELINES
Voting follows an 'Iron Chef' style scoring system. This means you, the people of /ck/, will judge each entry individually instead of deciding on what you feel is the "best" dish.
We will have two modes of voting:
Casual votes: Vote for as few or as many submissions as you like. Votes will not be tallied and purely for contestants to know how they are doing.
Competitive votes: To submit a competitive vote, you must vote for EVERY submission. These votes will be counted and the winner announced.
Dishes are scored out of a total 20 points, based on 4 categories (worth a maximum of 5 points each); Presentation, Originality, Appeal and Challenge Goals. You may award 0's if you feel the contestant did not meet your expectations for a category.
-Presentation: The appearance of items on the plate; plating skills
-Originality: Creativity in composing the dish
-Appeal: How appetizing the food looks/whether or not the dish appeals to your personal taste as a voter
-Challenge Goals: How closely the entry followed the challenge goal(s)
The distinction between Presentation and Appeal: If someone submits an artfully arranged but burnt steak as an entry, it may score high in Presentation but low in appeal.
