So I found a sous vide that cools food until cooking and can be enabled to start cooking over the internet. The problem is I have never cooked with sous vide before. Initially I liked the concept of being able to prepare food ahead of time and being able to cook it while I am working without the worry of over cooking. Anybody have any experience with sous vide cooking?

never heard of mellow, but the stove top circulator-oven /sousviide oven are typically like 400+ expensive. I would go with an anova the company is a lab materials manufacturer a nd you can just stick it int containers and make it an oven basically probably better quality, the food is pretty damn tasty but i dont have the time for it .
>>7194619
Thank you for your reply. I was going to pick one up as they were like $130. Where as the mellow is like $350 (pre-order). But like you, I dont have the time for conventional sous vide. Especially if I am preparing from frozen. The only thing that kills me about the mellow isn't the price. Its the fact that I am essentially rolling the dice on a pre-order without any reviews circulating.
I went to a japanese specialty store the other day and picked up pic related to try.
It's 10 times better than normal mayonnaise, which I normally hate. This shit is god-tier on tonkatsu.
Anyone else tried this and know what I can do with it besides use it like normal mayo? Also, GOAT condiments thread
>>7194558
Use it however you would use normal mayo. Having said that, the Japanese put mayo on a bunch of foods you wouldn't normally imagine, like their squid-balls.
>>7194558
baka desu senpai
The trick to Japanese mayo is pretending you're an American: just fucking drizzle it on everything.
Anyone remember this stuff? It's back now
Nope
Yeah. It was ok. I have a hard time getting excited about soda.

Zero fucks given about any of these meme beverages.
give me your best gravy recipes for this christmas.
>>7194510
Man, I just save the water used to bake my meat(about 1 cup), then slowly stir it into a combo of 1 tbsp of flour + 1 tbsp of butter.
It's a faux gravy, and the flavor depends on how the meat and how you season it.
I often use Sazon and Adobo, along with onion powder and garlic. I add pepper after the gravy is mixed.
>>7194510
what kind of gravy?
Sawmill Gravy?
blonde roux+milk+S&P
Sausage Gravy?
sawmill with drippings and sausage in place of butter
Red Eye Gravy?
pork pan drippings (usually ham) + black coffee
Pan Gravy?
pan drippings+stock+wine(optional)+ herbs(optional) finished with beurre maine
Brown Gravy?
Hazelnut roux+brown stock/drippings+demi/veal glace
Giblet Gravy?
Giblets+butter+thyme+shallot+flour+chicken stock or glace+hard boiled egg(optional)
I always suggest finishing gravies(or any sauces) with a pat of cold butter for smoothness, richness, and to help thicken.
>>7194526
Mushroom Gravy?
butter+mushroom+thyme+flour+vermouth+brown stock
Onion Gravy
Onion+butter+flour+sherry+Brown stock+demiglace
Egg Gravy? (though I prefer giblet since it very similar but with more flavor)
Poultry Drippings+flour+poultry stock/glace+ hard boiled eggs

If one eats cold food, is the calorie intake lower from the cold food as opposed to hot food? Body has to heat up the food, no?
>>7194187
Yeah I suppose that's correct but the energy lost by bringing the meal to your body temperature is negligible.
>>7194187
I eat mostly ice cubes during my diets because of this.
>he's never had cake'ems

What are some foods for when you're completely shitfaced?

Holy shit get a stomach pump. I hope you have loved ones who will get you into rehab.

right now the bowls of Nongshim Ramen are 1 dollar at Kroger. I like those for drunk food because drinking the broth is a slight bit of insurance against a hangover the next day
>staying with girlfriend and her family over Christmas
>me and my girlfriend decide to cook pizza
>ask her mum to pick us up some ingredients because she's going to the shop anyway
>ask for flour as well as some other stuff
>her mum comes back with all the other stuff we wanted as well as two packets of pre-made dough
>look at the packet, it's pre-made puff pastry
>girlfriend says we have to use it since her mum bought it
We're making it tomorrow. How fucked am I, /ck/? By the way, in case it isn't obvious, her mum has no idea about cooking. I could write pages on the crap she makes. Here's what she calls her "homemade pizza":
>slices of plain white bread
>cheese
>salami
Pic related, the puff pastry she bought.
Use the puff pastry to make a dessert. Make your own crust from flour and yeast.
Make pizza pockets with the puff pastry
>>7194067
>sending other people to do your shopping
>is actually surprised when shit doesn't go according to plan
people are idiots bruh, but anyways, parbake the puff pastry then make a small desert pizza on it, if you try to use it for an actual pizza the weight of the sauce/cheese/toppings will be too much for you to be able to pick up a slice without it falling apart

Order a meatball pizza and open the box in front of her saying: "this is how meatballs are supposed to look".

Does anyone brew here?
I'm thinking about getting some supplies and whipping up some hard apple cider. It's supposed to be an easy beginner thing.
>decent apple cider
>add some honey
>pitch yeast of choice
>proper air-lock
>basic brewing sanitization
>wait
Yeah, it's easy.
>>7193995
Yep I've already read guides. Gonna do it soon. Was just wondering about general experiences.
>>7193989
I've brewed my own beers and mead.
Ask away.
Hey /ck/, what do you think of Thai food? Personally I think Pad Thai is their only good dish. The Chinese do fried rice better, and the Indians do curry better. Are there any other iconic Thai dishes I'm missing?
I like Tom Yum soup when it's made with high quality ingredients.
No OP, you nailed it. Only three Thai dishes exist, and the only worth eating is the one with the word "Thai" in it.
Nah Thai curry isn't worse than Indian curry. It's fundamentally different. One uses milk as a base while the other uses coconut milk. Also try Larb, it's pretty good
