Tomorrow I have to make Christmas gravy for 14 people. I have 4 pints (2.3 litres) of chicken stock made up and I plan to use a recipe involving red wine and cranberry jelly. I thought you guys might have some better ideas though. As you can probably guess, it's a big family thing. Everyone takes responsibility for one aspect, and I decided that gravy was about my level. Not least because I have to travel via public transport and don't want to cook in someone else's kitchen anyway.

If anyone has any tips for an especially impressive gravy then I'm all ears. Will 4 pints be enough, do you think? There might be a pint extra but it would be awkward to carry.

The recipe that I plan to use may be found below:

yeah that's more than enough stock. too lazy to shoot out ideas though.
>>
>>8398300
I appreciate your candour as well as your digits, but I'm thinking of 4 pints total gravy, i.e. some stock will go to waste or more likely stored at home for later use. There's a limit to how much I'm able to convey. As I said though, were it truly necessary I could find another container.
>>
The only thing that matters is having enough (but not too much) salt. Also, I wouldn't want your bastard grape and cranberry gravy. Drippings, stock, salt, pepper, and a little bit of spices I used to roast the meat.

Also, make a 1:1 golden roux with flour and butter. Don't be the faggot who uses corn starch...

hello everybody I'm looking for advice on how to cook rice for sushi
I don't have a rice cooker

I made sushi 3 times in the past, and the rice either came out too mushy and gummy or too hard on the inside
I have used a generic brand "sushi rice" pack and I've used good quality basmati rice, but there's probably some secret passed from japanese fathers to japanese sons for generations that I don't know
for example
does it really matter that I put the rice in a wooden bowl after it's been cooked and that I use a wooden spoon to stir it?
how much does the quantity of vinegar/salt I use as condiment affect the consistency of the rice?
does it matter that I use longer grain rice like basmati, and if so why?

thanks in advance everybody

>does it matter that I use longer grain rice like basmati, and if so why?

Yes, different texture, different cooking time.
standard sushi rice takes longer to cook than basmati.

>does it really matter that I put the rice in a wooden bowl after it's been cooked and that I use a wooden spoon to stir it?

If your rice is undercooked slightly then don't remove it from the pan, infact stir it quickly a few times, put the lid back on and wrap a towel around the lid to keep the heat in.

I would not remove it if it had just finished cooking.

Wooden spoon doesn't matter, nor does the wood. I would put it in there once cooled to mix it up before making it sushi.
>>
>>8397408
going a bit further.

Before cooking it, wash the shit of that rice. Like, 10 minutes at a minimum kind of thing.
>>
Look up how to wash rice properly on YouTube. Zojirushi has a good one.

Chef John has a video on sushi rice where he discusses using a flat surface or bowl to mix afterwards, with pros and cons.

anyone on /ck/ go here, or any culinary school? I really wanna apply but I'm getting a bunch of mixed reviews... so I'm on 4chan looking for a straight opinion

Le Cordon Bleu locations vary widely in quality. Most of them are terrible. Culinary school in general is a terrible idea unless you know for sure what you want to do; don't even consider it unless you've worked the line for at least a couple years first and know you want to go full career.
>>
>>8397346
How old are you?

Culinary schools are shutting down everywhere because they are too expensive. And they don't teach you shit. But a certificate is nice and it gets you hired more places. I got to a completely 100% free culinary school. Room and board, classes, text books, everything is no cost.

Do not waste your money on a bull shit school filled with entitled assholes who all want to be on food network like it means something.

San Francisco coming in

We laugh at LCB. Similar to coding bootcamps.

If you like food, it'll show. We hire people who know how to cook not pretentious fags who go to LCB.

FFS, just look at the LCB in Hell's Kitchen and ho they fare.

I've had both and both times in New Jersey. It was bretty good but I'm not sure that Jersey is the best place.

Schwartz is very good but a bit pricey. if theres a massive line outside I just can't bring myself to wait..

Also, Montréal smoked meat is neither pastrami or corned beef, although very similar to pastrami. Google around if you want to know the factual difference

Those are called shop towels, and for kitchen applications, I would say they have two or three, save for messy plate or pans. They're the best for soaking up large amounts of grease
>>
>>8396248
but like, i dont understand the purpose of them
are they for washing up?
why not use a sponge or some shit, it'll give you a lot more uses

yes

i use shop towels in the garage where they belong

I've been eating junk food for lunch for a while and I'm always hungry shortly afterward, so I've decided I'm going to try making some sandwiches instead. What's some good stuff to put in a sandwich? Bonus points for not using deli meat, because it goes bad fairly quickly and I don't want to keep going to the store just for that.

Bread, cheese, meat, tomato, lettuce, mayo or mustard.

Pro-Tip 1: Put whatever condiment you desire(mayo...mustard) between any two items so that it doesn't make contact with the bread and make it soggy.

Pro Tip 2: Buy decent bread. Like bread from a real bakery. The fresh baked bread at your local grocery store isn't real bread. At major chains, it's parbarked spongey garbage(but still better than wonder bread.)

Pro Tip 3: Go to the deli counter and order however much shit you want for your sandwich. Once you do this a couple of times, you can plan out your purchase perfectly. "I want 35 slices of honey roasted turkey slices paperthin" or whatever.

Pro-Tip 4: Get next level with your mustards. Try out a brown, yellow, honey or any other different mustard. I used to hate that shit on sandwiches, now I fucking love it(even the boring yellow.)

1 glass of milk
2 shots of Burnetts® vodka
Shaq-Fu Punch® grape beverage, to taste

The milk instantly curdles upon contact with the vodka. It just sits in your stomach and doesn't get digested; you can feel it there, like a lump. I went to sleep about thirty minutes after making this and it was gone in the morning.

Why milk though?

Why don't fast food add eggs on their burger? As a weight lifter I would always be buying that.

Fast food sucks for you as a weightlifter. Just ask for a fried egg on it anyhow.

Because fast food is fucking stupid bureaucratic pile of business rules that has nothing to do with food. Just go to a local diner instead and learn to schedule your mornings.

should I slice it and marinate the meat overnight or marinate the meat and then slice it ?

I use lamb mince and mix it with the different spices and herbs and stuff, leave it for a few hours, bake it in a loaf tin and then use a potato peeler to shave slices off it.
>>
>>8398117
wasn't sure if I could find minced lamb at my local market, but that would definitely make it much easier.

Could ask them to mince some for you. They should do.
