Quick question:
I'm about to order a knife and I can choose a 19 cm blade (7.5 inch) or a 22 cm blade (8.5 inches).
Does that make any difference? What would be best for a rookie?
Assuming they are a similar shape (Chefs) I'd say you'd get more use out of the 22, and it's not going to be unwieldy.
>>9276622
It's a matter of personal preference and also your body size.
To me anything shorter than 10" (25 cm) feels like I'm holding a child's toy. But then again, I'm 6' 4" and I have big hands. Point is that it varies from person to person.
>>9276628
Yes it's a chefs knife - pic related is the 19cm, pic in OP was the 22.
Is the 22 better for the rocking motion perhaps?

>tfw can't appreciate food
>cook meals without spices and seasoning (chicken breast + raw broccoli) because they taste no different from the chef's "speciaL"
How do I start appreciating food?
>>9276530
You can't, spoiler, at least half of people in real life are like you.
stop being white
>>9276530
You have to appreciate the process, not the result. You also need to be happy about serving other people food and making them happy.
It's not about cooking and eating, it's about cooking and serving.
Help, I don't have any bread at home but I crave peanut butter. What else can I put it on? Don't wanna eat it raw.
>>9276469
>Don't wanna eat it raw.
You're going to cook it?
Bowl of oatmeal
Or if you have any greek yogurt, ricotta or whipping cream you could throw together a peanut butter mousse type thing
>>9276475
No fuck me I can't speak English. I meant I don't wanna eat it by itself
What do you get at McDonald's?

I demand a burrito thread.
Personally, I like to shove each individual hotwing into my urethra.
>>9275794
You're in no position to make demands, sally. You'll get a burrito bowl thread and take it
>>9275794
That burrito is ugly as shit. You should have picked a better one. Perhaps one that was cut open showing that beautiful carne asada goodness.
I dare you to post somewhere with better subs and tendies.
Potato salad is also on point.
Wegmans Chinese food > Publix subs and tendies
>>9275680
quiznos is pretty good imo
>>9275680
publix tendies are not that great, rarely fresh, and the sub is overrated as well.

Why are the cheeseburgers at Hungry Jack's so much better than at Mcdonald's?
>>9275591
Because the burgers are better at Hungry Jack's.

Your job application get rejected?
I'm going to be steaming some of these mother fuckers soon. Have a steamer to do this so the sprouts won't be in the water (will be using chicken broth probs). Would adding any grease or oil whatsoever affect the cooking process? I'm thinking the oil ain't gonna do shit.
addendum: adding oil or grease to the heated broth
>>9275485
Mmm, yeah. Do you plan on eating the shit out of those motherfuckers, too?
No sir it would not. I'm not even sure if the broth will really add and flavor to the little babies. You should try a batch with water and a batch with broth.
Are these the best frozen wings?
I guess I could understand frozen appetizers even though the apps you buy frozen aren't even sold in the restaurants, but what always strikes me as weird is the fridays brand of potato chips
and more so the fact they are the best chips on the market
>>9275427
did you ever have those tgif cheetos? so good
>>9275388
do americans really eat this?
How does ck feel about saving cooking oil? I've heard it adds flavor.
Pic related is the oil from the fish filet I just cooked.
>>9275330
lowest quality bait I've seen on any board in a while.
it's somewhat common practice. for example, KFC cycles the pressure cooker oil in to the normal deep fryers for added flavor before disposing of it
If I make something with very little residue, like french fries, I'll save it. Otherwise no.
put eggs into frypan
add 500g sugar
add 500g honey
add 1kg butter
add 20000kg oil

Youtube is disgusting. I despise it for giving disgusting people a platform to promote their disgustingness. The government should regulate youtube videos more heavily than school books.
How do I minimize the risk of botulism in my hatch chile salsa? I am wanting to give it to some friend but I fear they may get sick. I boiled the water in my water bath over 180 F and let the cans sit for ten minutes, but I am still concerned. Tips?
Submerge the cans in 90% rubbing alcohol for a few hours my man.
You had them boiling for 10 minutes, that's really all there is to do. Is there a specific reason you are still worried? The top will pop up if it's growing anything.
>>9275162
To sterilize the outside of the jar? What a pointless exercise.
>>9275130
You need to pressure can them if they aren't at 4% acidity I think. For now, tell them to keep it refrigerated and use it within a month or so just to be safe, better to be safe than sorry when dealing with food.
