Which type of sugar should you use when caramelising onions?
Brown? White? A mixture of both?
More importantly, why? What's the difference between the two?
>>8375542
Wtf none. Brown in copious amounts of butter.
>>8375590
>copious amounts of butter
Balsamic vinegar
I've got some pork shoulder, spinach tomato, yellow and white onion, and a handful of spices.
What can I throw together buying only minimal ingredients?
>>8375297
Braise the shoulder in water, soy sauce and a broth cube of your choice, add the yellow onion while braising once the meat is cooked carve it up and enjoy it in a variety of ways, tacos, sandwich meat, etc.

fuck this noise. smoke it.
cover it with garlic powder, seasoned salt, black pepper, cumin, cayenne, brown sugar, onion powder.
throw it on a grill and smoke it for 13 hours while you drink beer and watch football.
when it's comes to 170-180 in the middle pull it off and double wrap it in foil and place inside a cooler stuffed with towels.
wait til internal is up to 205. shred it and use it for awesome meals.

Sounds killer but it's 3 degrees out and i l'm a poorfag in a third floor walk up.
I personally prefer American cousine.
>"American" cuisine
No such thing exists
>>8375261
You're right, I think Finnish cuisine is the best. Nothing like a bit of Somali dick.

we just rocked the machine a little bit, until it fell down, what's the big deal?
>>8375199
That's assuming the spinner would let go of it

There's two things that look like a chicken thigh but feel like they've got small thin bones or lines of cartilage?
/ck/, How do I become a better cook?
I cook all the time, sure, but for every other field of study I can build off fundamentals and it all sorta comes together. Trying to find lessons for cooking and whatnot online just gives me 1,000s of recipes, which is fine, but it's such a roundabout way to learn about cooking.
For example, certain dishes will round out their flavors by using spices SPECIFICALLY CHOSEN to work with eachother, but the effects and uses of spices are hardly codified anywhere and developing an intimate knowledge of spices, cooking techniques, what steps to add what spices, the logic behind it all, its fucking impossible.
To make matters worse, finding in-depth knowledge demands that you just adopt some regional cuisine (Italian / French / etc) where you're basically relearning everything from scratch anyways, it's not cohesive.
So, tl;dr, where do you get your information? Where do you learn how to cook? Is the best way to learn REALLY to just make a ton of recipes and compartmentalize the info or is there a more cohesive way of learning it?
I guess u have to go to school take a class or something. The way ive gotten a little better is just by trying random shit and then throwing it away when it sucks. Its an investment lol
>>8375088
Yeah that's kinda where I'm at. It's working a little bit but then I see how professionals can just take a cupboard full of random shit and make a 5 star meal, can't help but feel like learning my way up there by trial and error would take ages.
>>8375091
They been doing it for ages too
What do you like specifically about tapatio?
The really Aryan looking "Mexican" man on the bottle
>>8375064
The heavy metal lead poisoning my insides
>>8375083
Tapatio was actually one of the lowest lead concentrated hot sauces, while /ck/ favorites like yucateco were the worst offenders
At 2am, nothing seems more appropriate.
What's that meal you turn to after a night of drinking?
Maybe it's the morning after, maybe it's while you're still drunk.
Maybe it's a craving, maybe it just eases the pain in your head and stomach.
For me, there's nothing I want more than a plate of Hashbrowns with plenty of toppings. And in my area, there's always a Waffle House within shouting distance.
tacos de asada with habanero sauce
A big bowl of pho really hits the spot. With all the tendons and tripe and shit in there too. Fish sauce, chili paste, hoisin. Sometimes I get shitfaced just so I can eat pho after
>tacos
>burritos
>burgers
>pho
because eventually you have to go to the bathroom and leave it all behind and flush it.
Always makes me so sad to see it gone.
How do you deal with that trauma or you are OK with it and just go to the kitchen and eat some more.
I'm struggling with this every time I eat to the point that I'm eating less and less.
But it feels so good both going in and coming out. It's pretty much what everything else I do is working towards.

>Life is such a waste because in the end you die
Dude food is where you get your energy from.

Just make it bitch
Just go to an indian store and get a big batch of it

>mfw ghee is just an asston of butter with the 'scum'? removed

So, potato chunks or potato slices?
How do you do it?
oh man slices would be good

I have a ghanian neighbor and her beef stew is fucking amazing. Very tomato-y
>>8374556
was actually thinking about making some beef stew today. what's everyone's favorite recipe?
What was your last Buffet experience like, /ck/?
They've started limiting the number of crab legs you can take per plate at my local one. It's really annoying because the guards will confiscate the whole damn plate if they catch you.
I might start bringing a bribe so they'll look the other way in the future.
>>8374466
I ate a chinese buffet that is the last one within 15 minutes of me. The quality is terrible compared to the other two but now I have no choice. I love buffets though because even though the sushi is shit I can really pack it down.
I met a black man named James Brown working at a Chinese buffet. I was wearing a James Brown Tshirt. He robbed me.
>Go to pizza hut at lunch
>Get to eat unlimited amounts of pizza for 10$
This would be the best thing ever if Pizza Hut didn't taste like shit. Dominos is exquisite cuisine in comparison.
Is this true?
>>8374260
No, that fag has not been funny since he was outed as a tiny arab rather than the pirate he portrayed himself to be.
>>8374265
Ok, but what makes pepperoni a decent topping and not an italian plan to kill americans?
>>8374266
I know I'm complicit in eating garbage but I enjoy pepperoni and that's that
one day I discovered Sarku Japan at my local mall and my life was changed. a plate of chicken teriyaki for $6? fuck me awesome.
then today I found a local place that did the same thing. it was ok. no sarku japan though.
what are your favorite cheap teriyaki places? do they even have those where you live?
>>8374072
Your waifu a shit.
Here in Seattle, the birthplace of chicken teriyaki, our streets are paved with the stuff. All strip malls are required by municipal statute to have a minimum of one teriyaki joint. Our faucets have a third knob for teriyaki sauce, and a fourth knob for that sticky sweet salad dressing. When you stop at a traffic light Koreans knock on your window and try to force teriyaki and evangelical Christian leaflets into your car. All restaurant meals are served with a side of wet iceberg lettuce mixed with three strips of carrot and one sliver of purple cabbage, just in case the main dish is teriyaki, which it is. I'm eating chicken teriyaki right now, and I don't even know how it got here or when I started eating it. Our state bird is chicken teriyaki.

>Evangelical Christian leaflets into your car.
Every fucking time.
