So I searched the catalog and there are no good coffee threads.
I've been messing with french pressing and grinding coffee for a little by myself and I'm looking for outside experiences and opinions to up my game a little bit.
Tips on best methods when french pressing? I'm still messing around with different ratios and brewing times. The best method for best taste seems to be a 15:1 ratio, letting your grounds sit in half of your maximum water for 30 seconds, the pouring in the rest and stirring after a minute. Maximum brew time is 5 minutes for me, it seems to get me the best flavor. I've been trying to use 200 F water, but I'm starting to think that it's giving me a slight burnt flavor.
Any recommended medium/Colombian style brands? They usually have the best flavor for me, but so far the best brand I've found is starbucks medium colombian.
Lastly, any good sites for learning more on all of this?
Feel free to share experiences, equipment, methods and brands.

In the extremely unlikely case that you're actually that big of an idiot, that's not the right kind of birds nest.
>>
>>7192412
Seriously?
Bird's nest soup is made out of the nest from a specific bird that makes nests out of saliva in caves. It doesn't actually taste like anything, so the soup tastes exactly the same without the nest. More proof that the Chinese are totally insane.

I'm a slow shopper- I go in with a list and sometimes ponder my options... takes a while so I shop late at night when the market is mostly vacant.
My cart was about half full and I'd just raided the hot sauce dept. I'm looking down the chips and soda aisle wondering if it's worth bothering to walk down when the store manager or some lofty clerk walks up to me and starts talking to me about my hot sauces. I'm still thinking about the snack aisle and mostly ignoring this guy until he says "...Oh, and I've always wondered what this one tastes like..." and reaches into my cart and takes out my dragon sauce.
At that point there was a sort of primal influence that took over and the beverages in the next aisle left my mind completely. I look at the man square in the eyes and tell him "There's a dozen more of those over there, find yourself some oysters and crackers and go crazy."
From there he put the bottle back in my cart and left.
\ck\ is it bad form to touch food in someone else's cart? The guy might have owned the store, but even still it felt very wrong to me and I put that bottle back on the shelf where I got it from, like the man's touch had tainted the hot sauce.

How many people do you shop for? I can't imagine a 4chan poster having reason to shop for more than himself. I only ever shop for myself, and don't even need a cart for my weekly shop. Maybe you shop less frequently than once a week?

Power went out twice today- only briefly, but I thought I'd stock the pantry in case of the habbenings.

It's kinda weird, and you do occasionally get people poaching low stock items, but it's not like you own the stuff yet.
I think people need to fuck off and stop trying to make small talk in general when it comes to supermarkets though. Join a social club or something if you're so starved for conversation you need to strike one up in the only public place everyone has to visit.

Help me, /ck/. Everything I cook is fucking tasteless.
I can't afford to go out and buy shit for recipes every night, so I end up making shit in bulk and eating it over the course of 3-4 days. Usually consists of chicken, rice/noodles and some vegetables.
I fucking lucked out and had some red meat given to me by a friend of mine because he made some food at my place. I cooked it in some onions/garlic/veggies and olive oil, salt+pepper and made some noodles to go with it. Pretty much a stir fry.
It has zero fucking taste. The one time in months I get to eat red meat and I fuck it up. I just fucking threw some Tony's on it like I do with everything else I fucking cook, and I'm eating it because I fucking have to.
I refuse to believe that just because I'm a broke ass college student that I have to live in easy mac and ramen. Fuck that shit. Help?

it sounds like the heat wasn't high enough to caramelize the aromatics. or you didn't add enough salt. if you just want more spices, try chinese five spice with something like that. make sure you use fresh ground black pepper, preground tastes like dirt.

>it sounds like the heat wasn't high enough to caramelize the aromatics
I don't know how that works, so that could be it. I was honestly afraid of burning it because I'm a dumb fuck and didn't want to shit up my food for the next three days.
Is this a problem with cooking in general? I pretty much always play it safe with the heat for the reason mentioned above.

>Is this a problem with cooking in general?
yes, if the heat is too low you're essentially boiling or steaming your food which does nothing to add flavor. a slight bit of char can add quite a bit of flavor.

December 21 (2015, presumably?)
The CDC is investigating another E. coli outbreak that could be linked to Chipotle
Last week, in the aftermath of an E. coli outbreak that has caused major problems for Chipotle,the chain's co-chief executiveSteve Ells made a promise on national television.
"We're going to layer on this culture of food safety and make sure that we're the safest place to eat," Ells said. "That's priority number one."
"We can assure you today that there is no E. coli in Chipotle," Ells added."We have thoroughly tested our food, we have thoroughly tested our surfaces and we are confident that Chipotle is a safe place to eat."
But on Friday, the Centers for Disease Control and Preventionannounced that it was investigating a new outbreakthat could be linked to the popular Mexican-inspired chain, identifying five people in three states who had caught the E. coli bug. Then on Monday, the center added an update that indicated another report had surfaced in Pennsylvania.
The new outbreaks occurredbefore Ells' pledge — the cases are froma month ago, and the CDC has yet to confirma source. Butthey underscore a credibility problem for Chipotle as it tries to convince consumers that it has finally squashed any possibility of disease in its supply chain.On Friday, shares of Chipotle fell by 3 percent, indicating a senseamong investors that the news would hurt business. On Monday, the drop worsened — sharesweredown 3 1/2 percentwhen the market closed. Overall, the firm's shares are down nearly a third from their high.

Chipotle, which has reported robustgrowth for years, saidrecently that it projects bigdeclines at its flagship stores as a result of the outbreak. On social media, some customers were vowing never to return. Chipotle insists that the backlash, which could extend well beyond this week, is misguided.
"We have indicated before that we expected that we may see additional cases stemming from this, and CDC is now reporting some additional cases," Chris Arnold, the company's director of communications, said in a statement. "Since this issue began, we have completed a comprehensive reassessment of our food safety programs with an eye to finding best practices for each of the ingredients we use."
The latest crisis beganin Octoberwhen Chipotle closed 43 restaurants in Washington state and Oregon after health authorities linked an E. coli outbreak to six restaurants in the region. Illnesses contracted at Chipotles were thenreported in seven more states.
Earlier this month, at least 80 students at Boston College got sickafter eating at a Chipotle. Boston health officials said the cause was norovirus, a common virus, while citing the restaurant for two health violations: improper handling of poultry and the presence of a sick employee.

In response to theoutbreaks, Chipotle pledged to sanitize its operations, hired food safety consultants and announced that it would introduce stricter scrutinyof its ingredients. Chipotle has about 2,000 locations.
But the morefood safety problems and Chipotle are uttered in the same breath, the harder it will be to shed the association.Chipotle's reputation isparticularly threatenedbecause it has made an emphasis out of the fact that it adheres to rigorous standards.
"The real red flags are repetitive failures," Arun Lakshmanan, a marketing professor at the University at Buffalo's School of Management, saidearlier this month. "When there is repetition, that's what really damages credibility. It's a risky position for Chipotle to be in now."
Other firms from Costco to Blue have also confronted serious questions when disease outbreaks were linked to food sold by them.About a decade ago, Taco Bell's business contractedfor more than a year after an E. coli outbreak, even though it rapidly fixed the problem.
In each case, the company recovered, but the pressures on companies continue to get tougher, as customers demandbetter-quality food without being willing to pay much more for it.

Hi /ck/
Just had a few of beasts slaughtered and turned into various cuts of meat which now fill up a 500L freezer among them i decided to get 10 kg worth of salami made.
The problem is i now have 10kg of salami in rolls and don't know whether to hang them, chill them or freeze them.
They are a bit dry owing to the fact i had them made from lean meat so i don't know if hanging them is a good idea.

That's what happens when you use volume measurements instead of weight.
