So the other day my friend told me how he cooks noodles. He puts the pasta in a saucepan, fills it up with water until they just cover the noodles, and puts it on a hot stove. He then watches it until almost all the water is gone, takes it off the stove, and then let's it sit until all the water is gone. He says he does this so his pasta "retains their starch so they're not all limp." I told him he was cooking them wrong, that they are probably undercooked, and that you should boil and salt the water before putting the pasta in. He refuses to cook it any other way. He does every type of pasta that way. How do you guys cook your pasta?

Food for thought.

Salt raises the boiling point of water which makes it take longer for them to cook.
>>7767602
you can cook pasta in a pan like a risotto, with a nice chicken stock and parmigiana at the end... works for every kind of pasta even spaghetti but its easier with small pasta...

Fuuuck this shit is so good.
Are you a slow eater or a fast eater? I like to pace myself and slowly finish a meal, but I know some people who inhale meals like a whale taking in krill
Average speed
Depends on how pressed I am for time, I've eaten 2 slices of pizza and downed a beverage from a local joint in under 5 minutes and at that same spot, same meal, I've taken 30 minutes to finish eating.

>2 slices of pizza and a beverage in 5 minutes
>fast

Want to impress a girl i've been seeing for a few weeks, what should i do with these?
>>7770306
Pad your crotch with them to make your penis look huge.
>>7770306
Looks like you should pan fry for 8-10 minutes and 3-4 minutes respectively
Put them in a blender and coat your steak with the paste, and then get that shit medium rare.

Polish food thread?
Poland cannot into space, but Poland can into kitchen.
I can give you a bunch of recipes, as long as you tell me what would you like me to translate and post. Meanwhile, I'll keep posting some of my stuff.
First up - a traditional Polish dish, Russian pierogi's! You're gonna have to convert the grams and mililiters though, I guess.
Dough, my grandma's recipe:
500g flour
330 ml water
1 egg yolk
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1 tablespoon oil
Mix the flour with salt. Make an indent in it, pour in the water and yolk. Mix it with a fork till it all comes together, then start working the dough. Do it for about 2-3 minutes. Then pour the oil into your palm and work the dough for another 1-2 minutes. It should be smooth. Leave it for at least 10-15 minutes, cover with a cloth.
Stuffing:
1kg of potatoes
250g quark, full fat
2 onions
Salt, black pepper, sweet red pepper (the spice)
Boil potatoes till they're soft, mash them while they're still hot. Wait till they get cold, mix in the quark and onions. You should dice the onions and fry them for a bit on a pan with a bit of oil. Then add about 1 tsp of the peppers. And salt to taste. It should be quite strong in taste.
Then roll out the dough, cut circles with the biggest glass you have. Put about a tablespoon of the stuffing inside, fold in half, form the pierogies.
Put them in boiling, salted water for about 6-10 minutes. When they rise to the top give them another 2-3 minutes and you're good to go!
Tastes best with extra onion and bacon bits.
We call these "hooves", or in some part of Poland - "lazy dumplings".
800g potatoes, boiled, mashed and cold
100g flour
100g potato flour/potato starch
1 egg
200 quark
Mash the quark with the potatoes. Add the flours and the egg, add a pinch of salt. Mix everything together. The dough will be sticky and soft, but that's okay. Roll a...well, roll, with your hands, flour the surface of your table generously. Wet your knife and cut the roll in a slanted way. Boil the dumplings in boiling water for about 4 minutes, untill they rise to the top. Drain and serve with melted butter, cinnamon and sugar.
I used to love these when I was a kid.
Potato casserole.
Will I ever post a recipe without a potato? Who knows!
Składniki:
1,5kg potatoes
1 good sausage
250g mushrooms
200g sour cream
200g cheese (I used mozarella, which is not Polish at all, but fuck it, it melts nicely)
2 eggs
Pepper, salt
4 cloves of garlic
Boil potatoes, whole. Do not overcook them, actually they should still be hard and kinda unedible. It's better to undercook them than overcook them. Rinse with cold water, wait till they get colder. Slice them into thick (1cm) slices.
Slice the sausage and the mushrooms, grate the cheese. In a small bowl mix the sour cream with the eggs, salt, half a teaspoon of pepper and smashed and chopped garlic.
Put one layer of potatoes into the dish you'll be using to bake the caserrole. Then put half of your mushrooms and sausage on it. Pour 1/4 of the sour cream thingy over it, sprinkle with 1/4 of the cheese. Repeat. Then put the third layer of potatoes on top, pour the rest of the sour cream mixture over it, sprinkle with the rest of the cheese. Bake at 160 degrees for about 30 minutes - the potatoes should be soft, cheese should be brownish and the cream/egg mixture should be sort-of-solid.
Warning - falls apart on the plate and looks bad, but who cares.
Fucking amazing. I love it.
SHOW ME WHAT YOU'RE EATING.
I'll start, pic related for breakfast. Turned out good except for the obvious fuckup.

>>7743426
I didn't wake up, I came to around 5:30 this morning. I found myself in the parking lot of the Travel Center at I-75 and Dixie Hwy. I went in, took a piss then bought a breakfast sandwich. It had an egg coated with cheese on a biscuit. I drank another beer with it.
whats the spiceist thing you have ever eaten? i want to make a really nice chili and my buddy has some habanero chillis, ive tried them before and they are mega hot, ive tried one before and they are definetly the spiceist thing ive ever eaten
I ate a raw habanero once. Don't really eat much spicy food though. A lot of it is unnecessary imo. Just hot for the sake of being hot.
>>7770805
thats nothing, this one time i ate the moruga scorpion, second hottest chilli in the world, its not even fit for consumption, of any kind, but like most things, you can eat it if you try hard enough. so anyway, me and my dad went to this chili booth and the guy at the stand had chillis ranked from 1/10 to 10/10 so i ate all the chillis and called his 10/10 chili a womens child that could make my eyes water if a bunch of puppies were reinacting the green mile. so the guy got mad and told me to fuck off or eat this crazy chili called the moruga scorpion. so i did. and, fuck, me, sideways, with a cactus, on fire. i was not ready, it started out as possible the hottest thing i had ever put in my mouth, an then it kept building and building, like dragging your balls up mount everest if mount everest was covered in broken glass. my eyes watered as if id just seen all my family members die and then i had a dozen lemons sqeezed into them and it kept building some more. there was not enough water in the building to help my mouth. AND THEN LATER THAT NIGHT IT CAME BACK FOR SECONDS!!! oh unholy satan, thoust are a cruel mistress. my asshole was never the same, its like a shit a lava lamp made of chainsaws. i was not ready for this. in dante's the divine comedy, dantes travels to the seventh layer of torment for his sins. well this chili cranked that pussy shit up to 11. odin be damed for letting this creation foul the earth...
>>7770805
A raw scorpion pepper.
I was drunk in a Japanese bar and someone offered it.
Said it was a Japanese specialty and I called his shit.
Worthwhile because I was able to fake being okay long enough for four others, including the dude who offered, to take a taste
Everything has felt mild mild by comparison
Burger King, have it your way.
I could really go for a Whopper™ right now, who is with me?
I worked at Burger King for 3 months and didn't eat anything there, not even a single fry. The only exception was a chocolate chip cookie when the power went out.

With Medium Fries and some Heinz Tomato Ketchup™ for dip :)
/ck/, I'm looking for the ultimate snacking food. Just something to eat while reading, playing video games, or watching a movie/show.
I am looking for a snack that meets these parameters:
>low calories
>little to no sugar
>little to no salt
>can be eaten by hand/without utensils
>leaves no residue on hands/lips (grease, seasoning, sauce, cheese dust, etc.)
>no significant change in texture when exposed to room temperature (ie. doesn't melt/soften/harden/etc.)
>little to no noise when chewed
>reasonably priced
Right now, the only thing I can think of is celery, which I enjoy, but I would like some other options.
a bullet
>>7769766
You seriously have to eat when you're doing all that shit? Best snack food is no snack food, friendo:
>no calories
>no sugar
>no salt
>requires no hands/utensils
>no residue to clean up
>no texture issues
>no noise
>free as in freedom

So I just fucked up I think. I invited 14 of my relatives to come stay at my house for 2 weeks but I have no idea how to cook for 14 people + however many kids they have. I'm fucked. What do I do.
Hahahaha you're fucked, mate. Have you ever cooked for more than yourself before?
>>7769544

Beef. All day erry day.
I bought a bottle of Absolut as my first liquor to try for my 21st birthday and I still haven't cracked it open and tried it. What's /ck/'s opinion, and what should I try afterward?
Note that I am serious, I've never drank any alcohol before.
(I'll probably try some while I'm reading.)
>>7769528
mix in so much crystal light you can't taste the alcohol, then drink it like it's crystal light.
>>7769534
I don't have any right now, but I can buy some tomorrow. I can't be fucked to go to the store this late at night
First time ever? Do a shot.
