Hello /ck/ (hot sauce enthusiasts), let's have a hot sauce thread!
What's your favourite sauce? If it's something local/non-mainstream or homemade feel free to explain it. I used to stick to local makers in my city, but I find they're more tasty compared to spicy. I'm looking for something with serious spice, but not deathly that's good for wings.
By far was my favorite, the new batches they have now got a ton of extra heat. The flavor is still there, just masked by a lot of spiciness. I thought it hit the perfect balance flavor/heat-wise before.
I've heard the Hot Ones hot sauce is really good.

This. I hear the hot ones hot sauce is fucking amazing.
Also I like Valentinas
it goes good on my eggs.
What's your "go to" meal for yourself when you can't decide what to make for dinner?
Pic related - My low effort steak dinner. Sous vide NY strip steak, box scalloped potatoes, and onion + mushrooms caramelized then simmered with white wine and the meat juice from the sous vide bag. I make this at least once a week, though the potatoes rotate for other starches sometimes
Coat chicken breast in eggs. Bread crumbs + flour + seasoning. Pan fry in oil. Steamed vegetables and rice. Easy.
Tuna sandwich
For me,
I'm a lazy bastars who eats hard boiled eggs and white rice for breakfast every day
What vegetable could I add to this to balance it out a little?
just kys

Literally anything.
Mushrooms, snowpeas, carrots, bell peppers, anything.
I buy those $1 bags of frozen "steam ready" veggies and toss in a third of it when I make rice.
Is there any value in cooking classes? I don't intend to ever get a job in a restaurant, but it sounds like a good way to change my hikikomori ways and I want to get better at cooking.

If you literally don't know shit, it's a good place to start
>>8625402
I can follow recipes, but there are days when I have no idea what to cook with what I have in my fridge. Is it a good way to learn what you can do if all you have is some chicken and spices?
>>8625433
How about using the internet in times of need?
So I run the kitchen at a small cafe in an art museum and every Tuesday we stay open late and run a tapas menu. I've thought for a while that it would be fun to see if /ck/ would be interested in participating. Do you have any ideas for small plates that you'd like to see executed? Curious how your original ideas would fare on a menu? If anyone is interested in playing I'll pick one or two of the ideas I think will work in our space and do my best to re-produce it and put it on tomorrow night's menu. I'll post a few pictures of some recent plates to give you an idea of what we've been doing lately.
First up is red and gold beet's napoleon. Layers of roasted beets with herbed goat cheese, crushed pistachio and palmeto honey.
We did this a few weeks back. Tempura fried Japanese eggplant with basil pesto and sweet chili mascarpone.
We got a bunch of free edible orchids from our produce purveyor last week so we did a couple Hawaiian themed plates. This one is teriyaki ham with jalapeno pepper water, pineapple, starfruit and coconut lemon grass cream.
Our other themed tapas. Pickled green mango salad with coconut shrimp and an orchid blossom and strawberry vinaigrette..
>cheese and seafood can't go together
WRONG! Take a cheese pizza and add tuna and shrimps. No ananas. It tastes lovely

So I was watching cooking with dog, and then they lit the little stove. So how do they get the gas to this stove? Is it like a Bunsen burner in a laboratory where there is just a small outlet for gas that you pipe into your movable burner? Is that thing fixed to the table? How does a Japanese single burner work?
See the big round part on the left side? There's a disposable cylindrical gas tank inside.
>>8624282
Oh, makes sense now. Thanks. I didn't think you could use a portable stove inside.
>>8624276
they are portable butane gas stoves. You can usually find them in the camping section of walmart made by coleman. You can also find them in asian grocery stores along with cheap fuel canisters.

I was tipped off to a certain McDonald's having a moonman memorial statue. Well, we visited and I wanted to say thank you. It was truly a memorable pilgrimage. Are you having Mac Tonight?
Haha fucking op
Cool story bro
Is this in orlando?
Taco Bell app hasn't given coupons in 5 months. What do? Anyone else experience this? Was getting 25% off coupons.
That'll change soon
My father is an executive at Yum! Brands and, just between me and you.. seriously,
don't spread this to too many people, he told me in confidence: there aren't any offers right now, but that'll change soon.
Don't worry man that'll change soon
How do I into baking bread? Anyone here a master baker that could give me a good place to start?
Pic unrelated. That's my rabbit.

I'm also interested in this topic

Open faced sandwiches are the most retarded cuisine that exists.
What's the method for eating these things?
>>8622283
Not being a pleb
With a knife and fork, you moron.
>>8622296
what's the point? might as well be a little bit less of a faggot and eat a salad with croutons
I've learned that googling for recipes results in crap 9/10 times. I was occasionally lucky in the past to find some small blog with a decent recipe, but now google is dominated by shit like allrecipe, a place where every recipe is bad.
I've been getting pretty much every recipe from Good Eats, Food Wishes, Serious Eats, and Cooking With Dog for basically the past year now. Recently started looking more at Bon Appetit more, but they post a lot of food I'm not interested in eating or making. Cook Pad is hit or miss on the Japanese side and boring on the English side
What are some other good safe places to get recipes from? Ideally that are still regularly updated
If I have a specific dish in mind and want to find a recipe for it, I'll Google the dish name and Cook's illustrated. A lot of times people will literally copy paste the recipe from CI, and they are pretty consistently good
Serious Eats has some great recipes, I agree. Giallo Zafferano has some very good (and sadly also some very questionable) recipes from the classical italian kitchen. It's in italian but there are tons of pictures and google translate does the rest.
>>8621671
Probably will never be updated again but Mastering the Art of French Cooking is foolproof. All the recipes I've tried have been delicious so far. Also, the recipes are simple enough that you can usually add a spice or two to your tastes without messing it up. A great base to work from and I think there's a free pdf on google.
Our Jews don't like opening up bakeries or Pastrami houses in my city so how do I make my own pastrami? Are there any pastrami recipe that could yield similar pastrami to Katz in NY?
>>8621616
Here's how they do it at Katz's. The cut you start with is the navel. Brine for two weeks with basic salt solution in airtight container. Season with rub of salt, prpper, garlic and coriander and smoke over smouldering wood chips for 48-72 hours. Then cook in a double boiler for three hours before slicing.
Pretty big fucking project.

>that'll be $39.99 plus tip
>>8621616
buy a corned beef from costco, cover it with black pepper and coriander, then smoke it.
use a good sharp carving knife to slice it
