Nice stock photo, in reality only black people do this
Alright /ck/ I need to cook thankskiving dinner for 3 and I have four turkey legs. I have no idea what I'm doing. Pic related is what I have so far.
What have you seasoned it with so far opie? Turkey legs are pretty easy to cook. Turn the oven to 350 and set it in until it's cooked all the way through. Could baste it butter, cooking stock/broth, beer, ect to keep it from getting dry, or cover it with seasoning and seal the tray in foil. Could also throw some veggies into the tray so that they cook in the juices.
>>8306533
where's the fourth turkey leg? i need to know
for reasons
>>8306569
Turkey was a war vet.
Is there a wrong way of eating food? I mean, as long as you get it all in your mouth and it tastes fine, does it really matter how you eat it?
>>8306344
somebody post that image of that anon who roles up all his food into a ball
>>8306344
Do you like to be perceived as a regular human being or as a child/animal?
>>8306344
Of course not. I love dipping Takis into my pumpkin pie. They taste delicious together!
ITT. What do you eat NOW?
me:
Bread, dry sausage and camembert with a good beer.
>bon appétit !
>1664
>good beer
>>8305981

>>8305990
best beer are belgian, i agree
Look at this fried noodles I just made
looks like you scooped it out of a dumpster, would eat though
>>8305921
I don't go for the chopsticks or the weeaboo spoons but I would dig a fork into that, it looks pretty hearty.
>>8305963
I did that thing where you make enough food for leftovers but then just eat all of it
So what equipment are you buying for yourselves/others on these big shopping days? I'm pretty good on stuff right now, so there's nothing on my wish list unless a good sous vide cooker goes on blowout sale better than the $100 i'm seeing now.
Spotted this nice 3-pc cast iron set (pic related) over at kmart via slickdeals for tenbux http://www.kmart.com/essential-home-3-piece-cast-iron-fry-pan/p-011W005591160001P

Hey Anon, I'm getting a Pressure cooker and a grill, maybe a healthy grill, I cant decide between a Tefal OptiGrill a geroge foreman or something else, any help, from anyone would be super welcomed.

Thermapops are $29 right now ($30 reg.).
Thermapen MK4 is $79 ($99 reg.)

I have a george foreman and it works well, but I tend to think you should around because it's not anything special so don't a premium for it over another grill press. Also about pressure cookers this is the most up-to-date testing/guide on them:

That said, it shouldn't matter unless you have plans to use it knead double batches of bread dough weekly or more often.
Also protip - Get this aftermarket beater blade with it and it'll automatically scrape the bowl as it mixes so you don't have to stop the machine periodically to spatula down the sides of the bowl:

Hey /ck,
So I've only really been cooking for myself the past year and a half, or so. That's when I moved into my first apartment with my wife, and at first she would cook and I would do some baking here and there, but at some point in the past year I fully eclipsed her skill and just enjoyed it way more than she did, so I took cooking over.
I know I have a lot to learn, but like, man I've learned a lot? I can make a handful of things exceptionally well (my meter stick is "would I pay money for this at a restaurant, and be happy I did?") and I try new stuff all the time, and mediocre is about the worst I get.
But ever since I started to learn to cook and bake and improvise and know what spices to do what with, etc, I've wondered this--why do people cook garbage food?
Like, I can't think of anybody in my life who cares about food as much as I do, or has as much skill and know-how as I do--and I don't have that much. It's mostly reading stuff and watching YouTube videos.
But why do people settle for less? Why do people buy weird, bad pasta sauces, why do people buy rolls at the store, why do people buy break-and-bake cookies, why do people not know how to dice, chop, or sauté vegetables?
This isn't about snobbery or about poor people, because I'm a couple notches above shithouse broke all the time. But making food from scratch isn't nearly as hard as anyone makes it out to be. Why don't people care? Why don't so many people want to learn more, or learn anything about anything? It seems like a lot of people throw a bunch of garbage into a crock-pot (which are great devices, SOMETIMES) and are like "mmmm wow I made this so great". Why don't people give a shit about cooking?
tl;dr It's not even that hard to learn a couple base skills to vastly improve what you're up to in the kitchen. Why do people eat food that isn't very good, night after night after night?
>>8304378
I tried a few times, but all I ended up with was shitty tasting food and a bunch of ants. Plus, being single, the portion sizes for most foods I get at the grocery store are too big for one person. I'd be stuck eating leftovers for days.
It's just easier for me to go out to eat.
>>8304378
i think its crazy too, but lots of people dont give a shit about cooking because they dont give a shit about cooking. you appreciate good food, you're willing to learn and put in effort, therefore it seems easy to you. some people don't mind, or even prefer, "bad" food. so they can't justify putting in the work to make "better" food. and most are in denial about health benefits and just choose to ignore it.
>>8304378
you made top ramen *once*, Ted. get off your high horse.
why dont you own the best kitchen invention since the toaster oven?
But I allready have my nicer dicer?
>>8303958

What dishes are best cooked with a pressure cooker?
What are some good recipes? The ones that came in the instruction booklet seemed really boring
>paying $10 for a coffee
I seriously hope you don't do this
why do starcucks employees even pretend they know about coffee?
>paying $10 for a coffee
>coffee
>implying it's not just sugar
Mine costs like 6 bux.
Foods you are absolutely sick of.

it seems to have become a cult staple here in australia but since I'm indonesian I grew up eating this shit. I'll still eat it once in a while, mostly when I'm drunk at home, but even then it makes me sick

Have I just eaten some undercooked chicken?
I bought some fried chicken from a takeaway and I noticed that while it was easy to chew, it was more firm in texture than I'm used to. Also it was slightly pink inside. It was warm though, and didn't "feel" undercooked going by the temperature.
RIP pieces anon
That's called dark meat, white boy. Welcome to the superior experience of chicken. Tomorrow you'll learn about hot sauce.
>>8307021
But was it undercooked though?
Am I going to die?
I brined my turkey for 18 hours, didn't really have an opportunity to do it for longer. Rubbed with brown sugar, garlic, thyme, sage, tiny bit of chili powder, shoved a beer can with beer, stock, onions, garlic and bayleaves up the cavity. Been smoking on hickory chips for seven hours so far, should be done in another hour.
Smells like heaven.
>>8306477
Meant to put this on the sticky. Sorry.
>>8306483
Save me some of that turkey and you can shove a beer can up my ass whenever you want op
>>8306483
this is shit picture, not even in focus. are you fucking michael j fox? glad its not on the sticky
I know it's Thanksgiving and it's all about turkey and the fixin's, but if you ask me, there's no better meal than a hamburger sandwich with a whole mess of french fried potatoes. Top it off with a cold glass of milk and you're in heaven my friend.
some folks calls it a sling blade but I calls it a kaiser blade mmhmmm
