I posted about making tofu a few weeks ago. Here's how it came out.

That's noice dear.
is soymilk the basis of it?
Which frozen pizza do you guys prefer? I think Totinos is just worth the price
>>8534137
My secret trick is buying vegetarian frozen pizza, adding ham and real cheese. A healthy treat.
We don't have a lot of options where I'm at, but I can usually find these on sale for $4cdn. It's better than any pizza shop in town, less than half the price, and I won't find greasy Arab arm hair in it...
Jack's is my preferred frozen pizza due to the price, and minimal sauce.
Tombstone is also pretty damn good.
The problem with frozen pizza is I always burn the roof of my mouth no matter how long the pizza has been cooled off.
Vegan recipes?
>>8533521
No.

But seriously, what would you recommend as far as someone who's a total noob to fry for Sunday? I was thinking of getting oil (2.5 qts minimum, 4qt max) and some shit to fry. I figured mozzarella sticks and chicken wings would be a good place to start, but I'd appreciate any suggestions as far as oils, cooking techniques/foods (e.g. any particular type of chicken wing, frozen vs. refrigerated), etc...
>>8533492
Peanut oil. If you're poor, sunflower oil. As for food to cook in your new deep fryer? Nothing. Throw it away. Deep fried food is for fat assholes. Once in a while it's ok to have when you eat out. Making it at home will bring no good to your life.
>>8533494
I'm allergic to eggs and seafood which means that fries become a side salad whenever I eat out due to cross contamination.
There used to be a local wings exclusive place near me that only did fried wings in a dedicated fryer. but they charged insane prices (often in charge of $1/wing) which is probably why they went out of business.
I'm not overweight nor in danger of becoming overweight and want to occasionally indulge myself rather than making it a staple of my diet.
Thanks for the oil feedback. I have cousins who are allergic to nuts but I rarely prepare food for them and I'm tempted to just say fuck it and use peanut oil.
>>8533492
Peanut oil is best if you can get it. Expensive though, like $50 to fill a little fryer for a few uses before you have to pitch it. Corn oil works ok too and it's waaay cheaper.
French fries, wings, onion rings are pretty hard to screw up, start there.
What's /ck/'s favorite "health food" recipe?
I'm looking for new ideas for breakfast, lunch, and dinner since my roommate and I joined a gym and are trying to cut back on the red meats, potatoes, bread etc.
I'm trying to avoid culinary suicide with the whole boiled chicken/brown rice/steamed broccoli /fit/-tier meal, because I love food and I don't think healthy has to mean awful.
Today for lunch we had a take on waldorf salads, with Jonagold and granny smith apples, asian pears, golden raisins, dried cranberries, chopped pecans, and baked chicken breast over mixed baby greens. It was really good.
So what's /ck/'s favorite healthy meal?
>>8533450
No reason why a hamburger can't be a healthy, protein packed, nutritious meal.
Go and read the /fit/ sticky, it pisses all over general /ck/ advice.
Sometimes I put pickles on my cheeseburgers
cauliflower
mushroom
broccoli
tomato paste
whatever spice
Hey /ck/. Rate my ramen

Good job buddy! :)
THOSE AREN'T EVEN NOODLES GOD DAMMIT
it doesn't look like ramen but it probably tastes fine
Literally the best YouTube channel there is
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C6B-V8wIvtQ&t=0s&ab_channel=AlmazanKitchen
He grows everything by himself, he even made a knife by himself, he's not a pompous ass like some other cooks, he has skill, he has good taste, he's AlmazanKitchen!
Some of us already like the channel, don't destroy your good will by making threads like this. It's embarrassing
>>8533135
>minus 25 degrees Celsius
>eating chicken with balsamic vinegar
It's like he wants to die or something.
>>8533135
He is pretty based but I feel like /ck/ is too autistic to appreciate him. They would rather have jack threads for the keks
What are some of the best food combinations one can get from McDonalds? Please keep in mind that the criteria includes both taste and price. For me, I find the following to be the best and most filling:
2x McChickens
2x McDoubles
1x Small Fry
1x 4 Pc McNugget (With 1 container of Buffalo Sauce)
Grand total is only $8.05
Bargain, IMO.
>>8533118
My mcdonalds doesn't have buffalo sauce. My after workout cram is usually.
mcdouble
bacon mcdouble
jr chicken
ranch jr chicken
large diet coke

Do you live in the USA? Why do we not have any of these?

I cut off all contact with a girl I was fucking because she said she went dumpster diving. She's white. There's just no god damn reason to get your food where you put your filth.

This and the green one are way superior to Coke Light/Diet Coke, why the fuck do people still drink that shit so much?
hungry jacks dont have coke zero anymore
u did not just say the green one

WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS
Reminder that Drumpf's immigration policy means that this man can no longer come to America to make these shows.

>be young and successful American
>eat out every day
>eat almost exclusively at chain restaurants
Why? I see a ton of youtubers that do this. You live in the US, world capitol of consumerism. You can find hundreds of incredible non-chain places to eat at instead of always going to fucking Chipotle and Cracker barrel or whatever the fuck.
When I visited the US I tried Chipotle and it was fine, nothing special. I also tried a non-chain Mexican/taco place and it was literally a hundred times better.
It's so bizarre to me as a European with limited options despite living in a big city. You can eat better food with almost no additional effort but instead chose to eat generic trash.
>>8531911
Because fast food service doesn't require tipping.
>>8531911
Most people on this planet are fucking retarded and a lot of those retards are also mean.
You need to learn this.
>>8531917
Why would someone that can afford to eat out every single day care about tipping a few bucks?
Find a flaw.
i hate anything with "smart" in the name
Dry
bits of popcorn stuck in your teeth. hard to get that shit out.
...Because good, freshly ripened tomatoes are only available for a few months out of the year. What does use /ck/?
Is there any reason, other than time, to stock them in different forms over just buying whole peeled ones and then pureeing, crushing, or dicing them as a recipe dictates?
Do you also keep tomato paste?
https://www.cooksillustrated.com/taste_tests/231-canned-whole-tomatoes
CI's taste tests says that both San Marzano tomatoes and the D.O.P. certification itself are basically memes, and higher sugar content and lower Ph (more acidity) are what actually matters.
Do you agree? I'm inclined to believe them, if only because it makes me feel better after I found them in my grocery store today as I was browsing the aisle selling for more than double the price per ounce of the generic store-brand.
They also had this to say in their crushed variety roundup update from late last year:
https://www.cooksillustrated.com/articles/371-tasting-crushed-tomatoes
>All canned tomatoes are heated to remove microorganisms and make them shelf-stable, but manufacturers can heat them either to between 160 & 185F (called a “cold break”) or to 200+F (a “hot break”). Cold-break processing hastens enzymatic activity that causes pectin in the tomato cells to break down, thus creating a thinner product—but one with fresher flavor.
>Hot-break processing deactivates the enzyme, so more pectin is retained and the tomato product is thicker, but it also destroys volatile aroma compounds, so the tomatoes taste more “cooked.” The choice comes down to manufacturer priorities: thickness or fresh flavor.
>Most manufacturers wouldn’t tell us if they use hot- or cold-break processing, but we were able to guess when we strained each product and saw the color of the drained liquid. Six of the cans yielded deep red liquid, suggesting that they’d been processed at higher temperatures (heating the fruit releases color pigments and results in darker red fruit and juice). The other two cans yielded bright gold liquid, suggesting that they were processed at lower temperatures.
>Our tasting offered further proof: Tomatoes in gold-colored juice tasted brighter and scored high marks for flavor, while those in deeper red juice tasted more cooked.
>>8531809
Tomato paste is garbage. It belongs in nothing. Canned whole tomatoes are the only acceptable choice when it comes to canned tomato products.
>>8531816
Thanks for the reply.

The folks on the Pizza forum seem to favor a brand based out of New Jersey called Sclafani. I'd have to order a case of them:
https://www.amazon.com/Sclafani-Whole-Peeled-Tomatoes-Ounce/dp/B00F9TCIPW/
Those guys know their pizza where tomato flavor is paramount so I would tend to favor their opinion. Anybody have experience with this variety or any other boutique brands?
