Sup cu/ck/s,
I want to invest in either a V60 or a chemex.
What brands are good? Or is it just one company that makes each?
Also, do you need that kettle thing, or will a normal kettle do the job?
Coffee makers general I guess. Bialetti is life.
My V60 just came in the mail. I didn't get the special kettle nor a scale because im kinda poor at the moment.
I tried brewing the coffee using a regular electric kettle by just pouring it out very slowly and it kinda works. My V60 did not come out as good as they make it at specialty shops, but it's also because I didn't use freshly ground beans (no $$$ for a burr grinder) and didn't really measure the amount of water I used. I might have to make some more investments/improve my technique
Any advice on how to make a better pour over at home is welcome.

I wouldn't consider it worth it to get a pour-over system without a gooseneck kettle. It's the little things that count in pour-overs.
Just graduate from high school already and get a fucking siphon.
How the fuck do I use one of these motherfuckers? I'm housesitting for a couple days and I've used a gas range my entire life. I can't make shit without it charring the bottom of whatever I'm cooking. Is this a problem for anyone else or am I buttfuck retarded?
>>8092969
If your problem is burning shit perhaps you should use ever higher heat for more time, maybe that will solve it
>Is this a problem for anyone else
No.
>am I buttfuck retarded?
Yep.
Banter aside, one thing you have to keep in mind is the heat wont lower immediately so if you need two different settings for one dish you better use two different stove partitions instead of just lowering it as youll end up burning shit because no one has patience to wait for it to reach desired temps
Give me your best hangover cures /ck/ I feel like im dead right now, im a fucking ghost thats what I am
I usually have a shit, a hot shower and whack it but that hasn't done anything for me today.
Woke up with all my clothes on and then after the shower I tried to put my pants on without underwear. Pretty sure im still drunk
>>8084844
Drink a lot, I usually drink milk. Eat salty food, fries will do. Sleep a lot. Take some aspirins.
>>8084844
amphetamine and lots of water. Also, salty greasy food or eggs. Some people swear by pickles. Never tried it myself. The acidity put me off, as my stomach is usually destroyed when I've drank enough alcohol to induce a hangover.
>>8084844
Quart of smartwater, or gatorade and water. Sweet tea to sip throughout the day.
Filling breakfast, high fat stuff like a sausage McGriddle or full diner breakfast.
Oatmeal cooks a screaming raw stomach. Bananas are soothing too and have potassium.
Tagamet, Pepcid. Nexium will slow down the acid pumping that is part of the pain and diarrhea from all that abuse of the GI lining. Take it for 2 days.
Anti-inflammatory, like yes, aspirin will work on the blood vessels, but watch the stomach.
Go ahead and take a multivitamin if you think you could do with a bit of Vit B.
Take it easy in the heat and sun while you're dehydrated. Wear sunglasses.
>Eggs are bad for you.
>You'll get sick if you handle eggs and don't scrub yourself down with alcohol.
>If you eat more than one egg a year you'll DIE from CHOLESTEROL
What are the anti-egg lobby aiming to achieve, /ck/?
>>8092945
control supply and demand
it's probably the sugar industry at it again
There fucking crazy i eat 9 eggs a day my HDL and my LDL is so low that it does not show in blood tests
Though I'd try and be cool and drink an IPA.
Into the trash it goes.

Even the back is nu-male as fuck.
Fuck my ass I'm an idiot.
>>8089726
We warned you about the meme bro.
>>8089728
>nu-male
>Fuck my ass I'm an idiot.
Yep, and you've also literally bought the Yellowtail of beer.
How do you make great mac and cheese?
Blend in a small amount of crumbled blue cheese.
Crusty panko top.
Make a proper liason.
Learning to cook.
First pizza.
looks more like you're learning to heat a disgusting mess up to 350 degrees F.
Not pizza shaped and maybe a little bit too much cheese but it could probably taste alright.
The pepper looks good at least.
What did you use for the dough?
>>8088622
I guess for a first attempt it could be worse. There's no crust and the cheese will spill over the edges. Peppers are cut too thick also. It'll still taste fine though.

Go for it.
I bought some American-style bacon. I've never had it before. What should I expect?
>>8087715
It's much more of a garnish than a 'meat', in my opinion and not very substantial. That said, as a garnish, it works better than British bacon so goes well on soups, in salads, and so on.
Disappointment.
>>8087721
I'm planning to put some on a pizza
What's your favourite kind of cake, /ck/?
Starting off with coffee cake.
Carrot, freals
>>8084265
carrot or coffee. cheesecake if that counts, but not plain cheesecake I like the special kinds with fruit on them.
Pic related. Some people say it's more of an extra large cup cake because of it's shape though.
I know most of you Try-Hard, wanna be Bourdain faggots complain about the McChicken Sandwich, but you have no idea what you are missing.
>two based picked, sometimes 3
>a lite patter of mayo
>delicious oven baked Vermont chicken patty
For one fucking dollar, how can you beat that? It's absolutely delicious.
Please step outside of your comfort zone and expose yourself to something different.
>>8082556
I like the #8...2mcckickens a frie and a drink
>>8082556
it's delicious but it's definitely not oven baked tho
I don't love it, plus it's better without mayo. McDonalds needs hot sauce for it too. The chicken patties they had at school were better.
>best food on earth
>literally one of the most calorie dense
Why is this allowed?
>>8080356
It's nutritious though. As long as you're having it on celery, an english muffin or wholegrain bread who gives a fuck?
If you're eating that chocolate coated peanut butter where half of it is sugar then just eat it very occasionally.
get powdered peanut butter.
>>8080366
so peanut flour?
