Does you actually like cooking or if your rich enough you would just eat at restaurantes and order in all the time
>brown people
I hate cooking. I also hate washing dishes. If you have the money for it, of course, let someone else do these things for your money.
>>8487356
I actually do. But I'd sure as fuck pay for someone else to clean when I'm done.
what are some moments where you ended up ignorant about knowing food?
i never ate onions until i was 19 years old because my mother never fed them to us, she thought they were disgusting
so when i came to college, i said to a friend 'what are those, i never had them' and for the next 5 years, i was that one guy who didn't know what are onions
I thought eggs were dairy. I got made fun of a lot for it. I know intellectually they are not but I still think of them as dairy
>>8487081
to be fair, they are always in/very near the dairy items in the store
>>8487074
lol. it's pretty ridiculous what parents will and won't force their kids to eat. my mother forced me to eat fucking baked beans (which I'm okay with now) as a kid whenever she made them. what the fuck is the reason for that? I still don't understand it. I didn't like them. they made me gag. I still find the texture unappetizing sometimes.
one time I wanted to bread some chicken, and I just seasoned it, floured it and stuck it in the oven. no egg, no breadcrumbs. when the timer went off and I looked in the oven I was just like....you're a fucking idiot.
I tried explaining some niggas that tomatoes aren't vegetables but fruit instead and i got my ass beaten lol, niggas actually broke my ribs and cracked my skull open a bit
how do i make pizza crust look nicer
when i make pizza at home it turns out looking lopsided and plain and boring
>>8487024
Lightly brush it with olive oil before it goes in the oven. The lopside thing I can't help you with.
>>8487024
Did someone say pizza?
My friends, find a flaw. I dare you.
Your birth

Cheese didn't even melt.
so im wondering should i order a joocer? i think it would up my veggie and fruut consumption. do you have one.. worth it???
can you use the leftover fruit somehow after juucing it?
Drinking juice is not the same as eating the fruit or vegetable. If you want to get a juicer because you like juice, go for it. If you want to get a juicer because you want to eat more fruits and vegetables and it's easier to drink them than it is to jam them down your greasy maw, well, still go for it, it's your money, but you're dumb.
>>8486883
You type like a faggot so you probably do need more useless overpriced unitaskers in your life.
Get a blender instead, it's more versatile.
anyone else give up something with their new years resolution?
been a few weeks since i gave up diet coke and moved to flavored polar seltzer water
it was fucking up my teeth badly. i would drink at least four cans a day, was buying 12 packs twice a week. i miss its nice refreshing crisp taste so much, flavored water sucks. and i heard that seltzer isn't that good for your teeth but i bet it's not as bad
>>8486648
>was buying 12 packs twice a week
Could've bought a 24 pack once a week ya dip
>>8486659
eventually it was a 30 something count after i bought a bj's membership. they didn't have 24 packs at the local grocery store
I spent a couple decades with a serious diet coke habit. My teeth seem not unusually damaged, other than normal wear and tear. People are different though, so who knows.
Recent studies on artificial sweeteners' effects on abdominal weight gain, even though the mechanisms aren't fully understood, seem like a really compelling reason to cut out diet sodas though.
If you're interested in more info, here's a link from a Time magazine article from last year, definitely watered down pop science coverage, but a reasonable synopsis of current scientific thinking: http://time.com/3746047/diet-soda-weight-gain/
Why arent u eating baked potato sandwitches /ck/?
>be me
>put potatoes in microwave with butter, mash slightly and open for it to fit, salt with cheddar salt
>put toast in toaster
>put salt on potatoes
>take toast out
>add siracha dipping sauce on side for flavor
Why arent u indulging in the ultimate poorfag gourmet? Fast af and delicious
>>8486509
Because I'm not a poorfag. Enjoy your butter and salt sandwich, fag.
>>8486509
>cheddar salt
>fast af
>cheap
OP you're not a true poorfag. True poorfags eat pop tarts every meal.
>craving indian food, it's been almost 2 years since i had any
>go to local indian restaurant
>order lamb biryani
>$13.00 for a carton of mostly rice and some chunks of lamb
>mfw
>could've gotten twice as much from the nearby chinese takeout
i honestly can't remember, is indian food supposed to be this expensive?
No, those retarded indians are just getting fucking greedier.
Where I am, the Chinese owned restaurants and takeaway are absolutely destroying them because they actually know how to run businesses.
Seeing this, what do the indians do? Raise prices and cut portions again. They're like the Games Workshop of cuisine.
>>8486484
how the hell do they stay in business though?
i live in a college town and most students here can't afford a $13.00 carton of indian food, when you can get twice as much chinese food or even a large pizza pie.
>>8486493
>how the hell do they stay in business though?
Sell more land back in India for cash
My dinner last night. Hot Italian sausage and chicken drumsticks. What do you guys think?

>>8486128
you don't need to cut the roots off

Is there any better food than traditional Swedish kebab pizza?
So why does /ck/ hate this again?
Too spicy, no way to actually use it and appreciate the flavor.
because this is better for cooking/as a dipping sauce and if you want to make it into sriracha you just add garlic.
Because morons on the internet love it.
I love this stuff. Something about a refreshing drink + texture is amazing.
It's literally just flavor syrup, sugar, water, and chopped aloe vera. Just as bad as soda.
>>8485432
yeah but it doesn't have all of the toxins that soda has
>>8485436
>
As much as I love this shit, I'm taking an aggressive stance against it because of how retarded you are. Literally the only flavours you can taste is the white grape juice, just buy that welsh's bullshit, water it down, and wa la, pulp free aloe drink
In Australia, smokers are pretty expensive since we have to import them from the states. A Webber smoky mountain will cost me 400 dollaroos at Bunnings. To those with smokers, is it worth it? Also Is the taste of charred smoked meat really that different to grilled meat?
any cheap kettle grill can be a smoker
Yes and yes
>>8484315
You can build one yourself if you're that desperate for real barbecue.

Hey /ck/, what was your biggest cooking fail? What cooking tip(s) have you learned that made you feel like an idiot for not always doing it before?
Keep emailing coming so I can keep hiding your dumb shit
>>8483155
I think you're trying to offend but I'm just confused, what are you even trying to say?
mise en place. most of the time you can have the majority of your cleanup done before you even begin cooking. And yes, I know it's a basic thing, but going from running back and forth from the pantry, to the spice cabinet, to the fridge, and to the stove, to having everything already measured right in front of me was one of my favorite little tips that I have learned.
