Evening CK!
I have a potluck lunch Wednesday, and thought I would do some crock pot dip. What are your favorite recipes and chips to go with them? I'm open to suggestions.
(Potluck is where each person brings a dish to a function.)

crab dip.

I thought about doing it, but I don't know if everyone there would enjoy it. Do you have a recipe link that you recommend?

FUCK YOU THOMAS AND FUCK YOU RACHEL
The other day I made a pot of rice, and after I had started cooking it, I noticed that the bag I got the rice from had little maggots inside. Not a lot, probably something like 10 maggots inside the whole bag (I moved it around). I ended up throwing it away, yet I still ate the rice I cooked.
My question is, is there a chance it could make me sick? I'm not a queasy person, and this should just be a little protein boost, right? Pretty sure they're larvae to little moths I've seen flying around.
Protip: It is very common but is very food safe too. You can always complain for free rice, but it happens to alot of packaged foods.

Cool, thanks

They are rice weevils, which are incredibly common, and why you should thoroughly wash rice before cooking it. They are not harmful to you, but they're still pretty gross.
>made pizza for my family before they get home
>have a few slices
>they're still not home
>have a few more
>still not home

I typically don't enjoy Knife General threads, but I'm in the market for a carbon steel knife.
Can't find these things in stores, it's all stainless steel shit so I'm going to need to order online.
Taking recommendations for a blade.
Have you looked into what steel you want under the carbon steel umbrella?
what are the benefits of a carbon steel knife over stainless?

You can only have one.
Long john with maple frosting, only answer

Do you like to fry using butter? Is it superior to other methods?
What dish?
When I do country fried taters, I start off with olive oil (not extra virgin) and then put a few dabs of butter towards the end. When I leave it out, they're just not the same.
>>8392768
>that low low smoke point in my unventilated kitchen
rendered fat is the best in my opinion, but butter is a close second. i like to sautee in olive oil.
>never tried fastfood breakfast before
>bought a sasuage mcmuffin with egg
>ends up being the best fastfood item I have ever tasted
what's your favorite fastfood breakfast item or combo?
>>8392385
egg mcmuffin. Same shit but with ham.
10/10 honestly. Has no right to be as good as it is.
1. Bacon, egg, cheese bagel from Dunkin' Donuts
2. Bacon, egg, cheese bagel from Mcdonald's
3. Big breakfast with h/cakes from Mcdonald's
If you don't agree with me, FUCK YOU.
Sausage mcmuffin with egg and cheese is my favorite, i like getting hashbrowns and ketchup with it
>tfw eating pistachios
>tfw get one that doesn't have a crack and won't open
>tfw can't open 40% of the pistachios in a bag
>>8391039
For me, I use a shell from an opened pistachio to pry open the tough ones, it is my favorite foodie technique.
>>8391048
Well damn that worked really well. But then you have ones like this that are completely sealed from every angle. Only a hammer is getting this fucker opened.
For Christ's sake, how do you fuck up something as simple as a breakfast burrito? Why are they still doing breakfast? It's fucking awful.
For me it is the McChicken

>overdrawn $22
>no car and apartment isn't within walking distance of anywhere that sells food
>only food in my apartment are a two month old bag of potatoes and a thing of frozen ground turkey
But I'm scared of the turkey
Before I froze it it was already in my fridge for a good 3-4 days and I froze it because I knew if I left it in the fridge it would go bad before I cooked it
But then that hurricane blew past and I didn't lose power but rather my power was cut off for two days because poorfag
When I got my power back on the freezer was still cold but all the ice cubes melted and I know you're not supposed to refreeze thawed meat but I did anyways and the turkey is still in my freezer
It's pretty grey looking but I'm really hungry and was wondering if I should bother trying to cook it is it edible or will it kill me or should I just suffer
>>8392739
well how's it smell?
I'd throw that turkey out, just eat a baked potato or something
if it doesn't smell bad when it thaws you should be good.
just make sure you cook it thoroughly

Are these worth the price? Thinking about buying one for making cookies and pizza dough occasionally.
>>8392473
if you are making your own dough more often than every couple of months, it's worth the money. you can use the time the machine takes to knead to do other prep work or whatever, making your cooking/ baking more efficient. the question is simply what kind of money you're ready to put down
>>8392473
Definitely worth it if you do any sort of regular baking or sausage making. The sausage grinder attachment is sort of ok, but if you're mixing stuffing for sausage, the higher power motor really comes in handy for mixing thick/heavy mixtures.
>>8392473
Will you use it? Then yes, definitely.
Check out local thrift stores, you can get one wayyy cheaper than new that will work perfectly.
I'm new to using cast iron.
I've cooked a steak in it and it was wonderful. Then I tried teriyaki-marinated chicken
It left a jet black residue on the pan that is greasy to the touch and doesn't come off with anything. The only way I've found to get it off is to burn it off on the range set to high.
How do I get this shit off without going thermonuclear?
And how the shit do I clean cast iron to begin with? I've been using the "kosher salt and a little water" method which works until it comes up against this beast
>>8392459
They sell plastic scrappers, but I've never tried them. I normally use a stiff brush with salt and water, never had an issue cleaning using that method before.
Soap and water.
>>8392468
You could do this, but then he'll have to re-season the pan.
Friend bought me a wagyu sirloin steak for christmas how should i prepare it?
Toaster oven, ketchup and salt
In a lukewarm pan, coated with a mixture of water, oil, salt, pepper, and garnished with a buttfoar.
Bring a pot of milk up to boil and gentally place the steak therein
Meanwhile prepare some jellybeans by removing the protective plastic package
Once steak has boild in milk for about 6 minutes remove and place onto plate
IMPORTANT: let the steak rest for a couple minutes
Now top with jellybeans and a sauce made from the leftover milk and enjoy.
Morning: Coffee, 2 creamers, low fat milk
Lunch: Spring salad, feta cheese, bacon, malt vinegar
Dinner: Soup, 1 bottle of wine
Am I doing it right? I have this pretty much everyday but feel like I'm still gaining weight.
>>8387474
You can't just eat minimal calories, you gotta exercise as well. Also when you do start exercising your body will need much more nutrients that what you are currently giving it.
>>8387489
How do you exercise when you come home from work exhausted? That part has always baffled me.
>>8387496
you wait around an hour and then either go for a jog or hit the gym if you have a membership
