Does /ck/ have any weird food related habits? I always use a pair of fish sticks as chopsticks when I eat ramen. I can't have one without the other.
wouldn't that fall apart after a while
>>8263821
I usually bake fish sticks until they're pretty sturdy and I obviously take a bite out of the stick. The real challenge is to not run out of fish sticks before your ramen.
what the fuck
Since the current knife thread is just a damascus circle jerk, can anyone else explain basic knife science to me? What makes carbon steel better than stainless? Can anyone recommend a good chefs knife under 200? Also can anyone explain whet stones and honing rods? Recommend good ones? I heard some anon say something about fancy cutting boards and cutting with the grain so as to keep your knife sharper, does this have validity or are cutting boards only good for looking cool?
Pic related, Google searched 'fancy kitchen knives'
Shun is a good knife under $200. Carbon steel is gooder because it can be sharpened to a sharper edge because metalurgy. However it requires more maintenance to prevent rust. It doesn't hold an edge as long as stainless either, however due to the nature of carbon steel, its easier to sharpen.
End grain cutting boards are favored because they'll last forever if periodically taken care of.

>What makes carbon steel better than stainless?
All steel has carbon, stainless steel has chromium. Steel has varying amounts of additional elements alloying with carbon and iron.
For a knife, you want your steel to be able to hold an edge, primarily, whilst having some flex still, and some resistance to corrosion. Generally there is some trade-off between these three properties. However, it's easy enough to search around, and you'll see that most of the high end knives are made from similar steels. Some knives will have gimmicky steels that may or may not do anything to justify a premium price. Any knife that does not tell you its steel content is guaranteed to be shit.
How are Wusthof knives?
>>8263509
Always, but places don't usually carry them unless they're asian influenced. Mom made me stop bringing my own. They're badass though, one's a red lightsaber and one's a blue one.
>>8263509
No, but I always take them if they have them out
>>8263509
No. I only use them if they are provided by default. I don't like to trouble staff over nothing.
So if I buy cheap fish sticks and put them in a small tortilla, am I able to make fish tacos easily? how would that taste do you think? Anyone here have experience making fish tacos?

>>8262505
Throw Top Semen into the trash can where it belongs.
Go out and buy some real food.
>>8262505
Use only the purest mineral waters to simmer it, and make sure to add the seasoning packet while it's at that heat level so it dissolves properly.
That is cuisine oodles of noodles
also to make it 3 star, break the brick into thirds. pic related. Try to snap it at the line, it makes eating them so much fucking easier. I'd say snap them in half but that's a chore
>>8262513
FUCK wrong image, sorry
you want the break to be near the end where it folds over, not on the other end

How do I make pizza in a cup?
>>8259738
First newbie mistake is baking them in styorfoam cups. Don't do that. It'll melt all over your oven or grill. Use a ceramic cup. Not only will it not fall apart, it'll give better thermal conductivity so your cup pizza bakes more evenly.
>>8259738
YOU DON'T
>>8260312
Not even go za?
itt: search "raw vegan" versions of foods not usually either

>Went to the doctor for a checkup

I've been eating fruits, veggies, beans, eggs, yogurt, and oatmeal since I visited the doctor last week, and it's getting boring. Recommend me some nutritious recipes /ck/, preferably low in sodium!
I made huevos rancheros this evening and they were filling while also tasty, any other suggestions?
if you ever let them put you on blood pressure medicine you will be on it for the rest of your life. start exercising (weightlifting) to get it down
>>8251729

What's your opinion on canned food?
Is it less healthy in general then it's fresh counterpart?
My mom said if you opened a can and want to leave it in the freezer for later, don't store it in the can it went in but in a plastic or ceramic container because the aluminium develops poison. Is this true?
I'm also looking for a way to prepare my canned tuna.
thinking of making a tuna pasta salad
>>8261950
I'd stay clear of freezing canned food. Just use it in the next day or 2.
Canned tomatoes, beans, sweetcorn, baked beans and coconut milk is all I really fuck with.
>>8261950
>My mom said if you opened a can and want to leave it in the freezer for later, don't store it in the can it went in but in a plastic or ceramic container because the aluminium develops poison. Is this true?
It's because it's a fuckin can and it's very hard to pry frozen food out of it.
If freezing a fucking can killed people, russia and alaska wouldn't exist.

why do fruits rot?
Because of cell death and decay
>>8260206
Because you have removed them from their source of nutrition and fluid intake and left them to slowly die?
