What /ck/ thinks about him?
I'm not that interested in television programs or celebrity chef vanity memoirs, but apparently he triggers the alt-right crowd for some reason, so I'm in favor of him in a general sense
>>8502084
i like him but but i wish he would keep his personal politics out of his show
>>8502084
Was getting cuckholded by his wife every time he went on a business trip. Prolly can't get it up anymore anyways

Hi Chef John.
>>8501627
What size mill and what kind of peppercorn did you get?
I'm going to finally buy a pepper mill and peppercorns after I finish the last of giant plastic carton of preground stuff that we've had for about 3 years. I only have a few more weeks worth of it left.
I was planning on getting this from Peugeot, but I'm debating what size is appropriate (is 7" capacity enough):

that was recommended from this shootout:

I don't know what kind I should start out with.

Let's get down to the bottom of this. Sucralos..... is it bad? Is it good? This shit is in everything now. I guess companies have decided to replace high fructose corn syrup with sucralos. The sweetness tastes very..... 'off'. I can't stand it, but I tolerate it sometimes when there are limited options for other drinks/food items. What does /ck/ think about this stuff? I would rather companies use honey as a sweetener rather than sucralos.
It's WAY cheaper than fucking honey. I wouldn't expect companies to use honey anytime soon, especially since sucralose is noncaloric. If you want honey as a sweetener in your food that badly, just make your own foods with honey in them
I have a big canister full of of Splenda in my pantry next to my canister of regular sugar. I think it's great. I use it in damn near everything because you can use half the amount that you would usually use of sugar, with less calories. Maybe it tastes "off", compared to regular sugar, but I've never really liked the taste of regular sugar. Sucralos tastes "cleaner" to me somehow. When I add it to stuff it just makes them taste sweet without anything extra so the other flavors come out better.
I havn't tried many other sweeteners, but it's waaaay the fuck better than fucking Stevia.. now that shit taste fucking "off". Its sickeningly sweet and with an aftertaste of twigs and leaves.
And honey is great, but it's just not something I want to use in most things because I don't want that added honey flavor.
Fun fact: that shit passes right through your body and your water treatment facilities.
Look for it in an ocean near you.
>Made red beans 6 months ago
>Didn't taste good but I didn't want to clean the pot so I stuck the whole thing in the pantry and forgot about it
>Today I decided not to eat fast food so I opened the pantry and found it
>Red beans were green and white, sea of maggots, etc.
>Clean it and get pic related
>Rainbow sheen, scratches everywhere, rim of indentations in the metal where the red beans ended, white specks (possibly calcified maggots fused to the metal?)
My question is, is it safe to cook with this? I still have 3 bags of red beans

lol
gross
>>8501372
Stop being so gross anon.
>>8501372
Yeah it's probably safe if you cleaned it well, OP. Maybe boil some water in it for a little bit to make sure you killed everything first.

Why? What has the dumb kid done now?
>>8501044
i needed a new oven for about a year and it was a great substitute, now that i'm back in oven world i don't use it
pls respond. i made smoothies but thats all ive gotten. boiling it takes like an hour. also no idea how to season it.
beets are good in salads and soups and stews
pickled beets are p good
>>8500918
Roast them. Coat in olive oil and place in a tinfoil packet with rosemary, thyme, and/or tarragon. Roast for 1 hour at 400F. Let cool, peel (the skin easily scrapes away), chunk and eat plain or mix with salad, make borscht, anything really.
Why and how did McDonald's get so good all the sudden? I ate at a brand new McDonald's built in my city and it was actually pretty good. What did they do to it?

Mickey D's was always good

>billions yearly paid into customer relations/market research
Mc D is scientifically proven as good tasting.
i bought a can of condensed milk, but i don't know what to do with it besides add it to hot cocoa.
what are some things, preferably easy baked goods, that use condensed milk?

Tres leches cake
Indr:
Cake:
5 eggs seperated
1.5 cups flour
.5 cups butter (one stick) (room temp)
1 cup white sugar
1 tsp baking powder
Liquid filling:
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 can evaporated milk
2 cups whole milk
Icing:
1.5 cups heavy cream
1 cup sugar (lightly blended with .5 tsp cornstarch for superfine texture [granulated is too big])
1 tsp vanilla
Method:
Cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy
Whip egg whites until soft peaks form
Sift flour and baking powder
Add eggs yolks to butter sugar one at a time and then egg whites, take this part low and slow, use a rubber spat
Add flour ~4Tsp at a time until mixed
Put into pre buttered pre floured baking dish and bake for 30 min or so at 350 (yadda yadda toothpick)
Let cool, meanwhile take the filling ingredients and mix thoroughly, but not vigorously
Add to cooled cake and put in fridge
At this point it'll look like shit, but the stiff egg whites helps this cake become a sponge and in a few hours it will soak up everything
Take the cream and whip lightly, add the superfine sugar and vanilla and whip until firm, but no more. Apply to cold cake and keep cold
To serve with this, I suggest a fruit coulis rather than a compote because the thinner coulis mixes better with the milky filling the cake has.
I suggest 2 cups strawberries, 1.5 cups water, 1.5 cups sugar and .5 cups apple juice (to taste, I like the brightness of apples next to the strawberries and milk)
Prepare strawberries, quarter and add everything to a pot. Cook on low until done (watch rapid boiling because sugar can crystallize out)
So I got one of these things as an Christmas gift. I made my own cider and am currently in the process of fermenting it. Trouble is that I am noticing the yeast is still in the bottle after one week, just sitting at the bottom of the glass jug
Is the yeast eventually supposed to evaporate or is it normal for it to remain? I have never tried doing anything like so so any input would be appreciated
Aaa
>>8499723
I'm not sure what you mean. Are you saying you haven't seen any activity in your airlock? Or are you saying you see a layer of sediment in the bottom of the fermenting vessel? Those are 2 very different things. Explain.
>>8500118
>Or are you saying you see a layer of sediment in the bottom of the fermenting vessel?
This. Airlock has some bubbles but all the yeast is still at the bottom. The first two days all the yeast was bubbling at the top of the jug. The instructions indicated that I had to clean the airlock after two days so I did that; afterwards is when I noticed the yeast sediment fell to the bottom
Quite a few of them are. Some of them smoke. Some of then are skinny. It's nuts
Oh, is this a thread where you just make fun of fat people? Thank you for this. It's making the board a lot better

Maybe he eats good food and not shitty fried stuff

What are some homemade frozen dinners/breakfast/lunch/snack whatever that you guys recommend?
Doesn't have to be a full meal, may be a side or just the main.
My plan is to cook large batches and cook with less frequency.
>>8498898
Frozen vegetables are tasty and convenient. That would be about the only frozen item I'd suggest.
frozen burritos. Try to find shredded beef ones and maybe get some hot sauce to go with them.
I used to buy those small banquet kid's size meals because they were only a dollar each, and not too ridiculously high in calories. I would eat them when I was too lazy to make lunch/breakfast.
But I stopped when I noticed that eating them actually made me more hungry later on.
Also they were really low quality. I kept finding bone fragments in my chicken fingers.
If you don't give a flying fuck about calories or your health, those Marie Callender's pot pies are absolutely fucking amazing.. and this is from someone who normally hates pot pies.
I think their other frozen meals are good too, but it's been years since I had them.. but I'll never forget how good those freaking pot pies were.
