I'm about to make fried chicken but I have a problem. I always burn the crust and make it turn black as shit. I think it's because the canola oil gets too hot. I know I need it to be at 350f, but unfortunately my stove top could not possibly tell me when that is. Are there any visual cues I can use to tell when the oil is hot enough? Like drop some batter in there and see it bubble or? My goal is to not let it burn the batter before the chicken is cooked. Please help, I don't have a thermometer (I'm an idiot).
Also, does covering the top do anything at all? I don't really get the point of that.
Par-cook your chicken in the microwave and you wont have to fry it as long.

I use a cast iron pan and heat the oil on medium high, place chicken in and turn down to medium low. It's very important to turn the chicken every 5 minutes or so to avoid scorching.
>>8598580
At medium low is the oil just bubbling?

why is it so hard to get prime cuts of meat? i have to drive 30~ miles to get anything better than choice and i live in a fairly large metro area.
Why don't people figure out the method of raising prime grade meat? Like, feed the cows a certain diet and exercise them in a certain way.
>>8598203
>he doesn't buy a cow and cut bits off it while it's still alive
>>8598214
Basically farmers are lazy and only want to feed the cheapest shit (aka corn) to their stock, if the meat just so happens to be prime good for them but most of the time they're just aiming for choice/select.
Hey /ck/, what did you all eat in college? I'm going to college soon and want tips on cheap stuff to eat besides ramen noodles all day every day.
The biggest mistake I made in college was not brushing after every meal, and not flossing every day. Do both of these things. Your teeth are very important!
Diet is not so important, just eat a variety of foods and don't pig out on high fat and high sugar food.
Have you looked at your dorm rooms yet? You may not have access to a stove. Look into having a microwave, toaster oven, and whatever else if they're not provided.

Please help me realize my dream of eating home made pizza everyday and being healthy.
I currently need 2000kcal to maintain my weight when sedentary and 2500kcal when working.
This is my current calorie breakdown for the pizzas I make:
>300-400g of type 405 flour = 1017 -1356kcal
>no more than 60kcal of olive oil
>150-200g mozzarella cheese = 526 - 702 kcal
>toppings: minced meat, some sausage, tuna, ham or just whatever.
So that equals 1603kcal for sedentary days and leaves me with 397kcal and 2118 for working days and 382kcal
What could I put on the pizza to meet my macro and micro nutrients and maintain a generally healthy diet? I'm 5'7 and weight about 140pounds (~17-19% bodyfat)
First you need to calculate the carbohydrates, fat and protein in all those things. Assuming you actually want to do this healthily, it's not enough to just monitor calories.
My instincts tell me that doing this in a truly healthy way is nearly impossible, or at least impossible if you want to keep it even close to what you'd call pizza.
Pizza is one of the worst foods you can eat if you are trying to go on a caloric deficit; its is extremely calorie dense. Resign yourself to having one slice, and not an entire pizza every single day you repulsive fat fuck

I tried making a bare-bones dhal and it sucked.
Very bland, and very little substance. I can always try again with more aromatics and less water for the lentils, but are there any dhal-professionals here to provide tips on making this a more satisfying meal?
>I made some food and it sucked
>I'm not going to tell you what I did other than the fact that it contained dhal, water, and unspecified "aromatics"
>I won't mention what I did with them, quantities, or anything like that
>help!
Ever consider that lack of attention to detail is why you suck at cooking?
>>8597289
More spices
it's dhal ffs
you need a shitton of spices
Pop mustard seed using some hot oil and then fry off garlic, onion and ginger before adding anything else. Be gentle on the masala --- spices should augment flavors already existing in the dish, not define them.
Why does McDonalds not serve Chicken tenders?
If I want some Chicken Tenders I have to drive for like an hour, and that is Carl's Jr Chicken Tenders, but Mcdonalds is just like 4 minutes away, they're everywhere including Burger King it's annoying they're the same.
Sucks to be in Denmark.
Isn't the MCChicken a tendie between a bun?
>>8597159
Yeah somewhat but I want many of them, seriously Carl's Jr Chicken tenders with fries and their amazing Milkshake are so fucking tasty.
>>8597152
Those are crumbed, right? Everything McDonalds does is battered. That said, McDonalds in China serves chicken fillets by themselves, that's probably close enough.

Why is cheese so expensive? Non-singles kind go for $7 to $8 per pound or as much as a cut of sirloin. Shouldn't dairy be cheaper than meat?
>>8596373
The amount of milk that is required to make cheese is what drives up the costs.
Basically if we want cheaper cheese got to get milk prices down.

Surely you do not like these. They may as well have been made out of wood, that is what they taste like.
>>8596013
You're right, I don't like them.
>>8596013
Not a big fan of the regular ones. Yogurt pretzels on the other hand..
I don't like them but if they're there, I'll eat them.
>made out of wood
I actually had this thought about almonds. It really feels like eating wood, delicious fucking wood though
