No I'm autistic and confrontation makes my anxiety skyrocket.
Are these good for anything other than pan searing mediocre steak?
>>8826534
Yeah, you can pan-sear awesome steak.
They're great for baking biscuits, cornbread, rolls..
Oven roasted vegetables
Making a passable stir-fry if all you have is a shitty electric range
..or anything you'd use a normal frying pan for---bacon, eggs, sausages, hash browns, tomatoes, fish, chops, chicken...
>>8826543
Don't they use up more energy than less thicc pans though?
>>8826551
If you're that concerned over energy use, you've got bigger issues.
You're talking about pennies on the dollar.

i dont understand this meme
One can in, 400 miles to go still.
Does anyone here have experience using one of these? Do they really work that much better than regular direct flow smokers?
They work differently than just having the fire box at one end and the chimney at the other end.

After using the Weber Smokey Mountain the last two summers, I can see some benefits to this. I don't have any experience, so I can't officially answer your question, but let me tell you, being able to add charcoal and dispose of ash with that amount of ease would be really nice. The WSM is more of a "set it and forget it" unit. You can get really stable temperatures with practically no effort, and it will burn for 8-12 hours with no fiddling. But for long cook times, adding charcoal is a bit of a pain since the only access you have is that flimsy door. I like to use the fuse method, and I put a couple of bricks in the center so the fuse can't collapse and light the whole thing. To add more charcoal, I add it to the unlit side. It's basically like a dog running after its tail. The problem is the ash builds up and there's no way to remove it without taking the thing apart during a cook.

I am also keen to learn /ck/ offset smoker secrets.
If I build one should I do it from scratch? Or modify a cheap supermarket one to work properly?
So what's up with Hot Pockets brand sandwiches? Let us discuss

protip: drink WATER, genelet
well /ck/ I basically never cook because I'm afraid of fucking shit up, but I tried my best. Its delicious!
what are some of your experiences cooking things for the first time?
You need to get your pan about three times hotter, to just about when it begins to smoke. That's the way to cook a steak rare while still getting a good sear.
That looks like a raw steak sat out in the sun for a couple for a couple hours.
>>8825798
I don't actually have a proper stove or anything desu
>>8825781
lower heat, longer cooking.
after you make the steak like it looks in your pic, lower the heat and let it cook for a while. more fat will melt down without really cooking your steak too much.
>flyovers
>>8825723
Do people actually eat that shit? Lmao foreigners are retarded
>>8825723
Did you put some mustartd and/or mayo on the bread before adding the cheese and meat? If so dip those sandwiches into some whisked eggs and fry them up in a skillet on medium heat. Wa la, a couple of bitchin' Monte Christos. Delicious.
>>8825723

Just moved in to a single bedroom a month ago, still haven't decided on what to get as far as cookware sets are concerned. Anyone know brands to stay away from? What models to research on?
>Tramontina Tri-ply

Chunky or smooth peanut butter? And why is it chunky that chunky is superior?
>>8824848
Chunky adds a nice crunchy texture to contrast with jelly--especially good on bread composed of a dozen or so grains.
Chunky is also indicative of more natural ingredients and processing. Who knows what could be in that Jiffy mush.
Smuckers master race
>>8824848
>Chunky or smooth peanut butter?
Depends on my mood.
