im trying to make a dish but not sure the accurate name for it. basically, i just want to make a sauce that i could put over rice that i could make from chicken, seasoning and a little oil.
>>9165588
it's called gravy
What
No, seriously
?
>>9165588
Simple gravy / sauce for n00bs with no ingredients.
Saute chicken and remove.
Add water and butter to deglaze pan.
Reduce until desired consistency is reached, season, and either strain, or pour directly on the rice.
Use flour, or corn starch, if you want a thicker sauce.
So, I bought this pasta, it's kind of leaf shaped, and I'm looking for suggestions on what dish would be the best use of it? Anyone?
>>9165382
Looks like a good garnish for another dish, like a chili or soup. It also kinda looks like green vaginas.
>>9165382
Hmm, what's it called? What gives it that green color?
>>9165382
Looks like an orecchiette type.
Flat pasta's like that are best with meat sauces.
Serve them with a ragu, or use them to make a casserole type of dish like a lasagna. They're also great with chopped bacon, sausage, or seafood.
Never successfully cooked a steak, how do I do it, /ck/?
I heard I have to make garlic butter or something.
You apply heat
Whatever your cooking on, get it hot. Like really hot. If your outside looks grey your not cooking it hot enough. Rub the steak with salt and pepper on both sides. Some people like to bring the steak up to room temp before cooking it, I don't think it matters to much. Cook the steak for 3.5 min, then flip and cook for 3 min. This will get it around medium rare. Remove and cover with tinfoil for 10 min. If you cook in a cast iron, deglaze the pan and pour it over the steak before serving.

you rub it, burn it, then warm it until you get your favorite pink

Hi /ck/, can we talk about upkeep of cutlery? I got into cooking this past year and my knives are going dull. I was hoping to get some suggestions for a good honing rod to get. I know ceramic takes metal off, too, which is not a good thing. Also, how do you guys keep them sharp? Do you take them to a pro? Do you do it yourself? If so, do you use a sharpening stone or some gadget like that Chef's Choice thing?
tl;dr Please tell me what equipment to buy for knife maintenance
>>9164842
>I know ceramic takes metal off, too, which is not a good thing.
Any and all "honing rods" take metal off. That's not a bad thing, that's how you keep your knife sharp. All methods of sharpening rely on removing small amounts of metal from the blade. That's perfectly OK.
I use a DMT extra-fine diamond rod (kinda like your pic) for normal maintenance. I use synthetic water stones whenever the diamond rod can't get a good edge on its own.
I think you should learn to do it yourself. It's not difficult, and there's no need to jump all the way down the gearfag rabbit-hole unless you're into that sort of thing.
I was a Boy Scout as a kid so I learned how to sharpen knives with stones and oil. It's good enough for my purposes.
For day-to-day "sharpening" you only need that honing steel. The material of your knife is actually pretty durable, but the thin edge rolls over on itself easily. Trying to sharpen your knife when it only needs to be honed does more harm than good.
>>9164864
I was under the impression that honing rods are not used for sharpening. They're used to allign the cutting edge of the knife. They're supposed to straighten it out, NOT sharpen it.
What food is made better gluten free and why is it brownies?
You fuckers
>>9164568
I actually concur with this.
Not even a gluten-pussy. Every GF brownie I've had was great. Given ive only had 3 or 4 different ones.
pizza
pie
bread
How do I avoid creating a shell crust when making fried chicken? I've noticed, unlike fast food, when I fry chicken the coating will become much like a shell and not stick to the chicken (it usually falls out in a couple of bites). Could the trick be to try at lower temperatures (160°C - 300–325°F) or to let the chicken sit in the flour to absorb the coating before frying?
I wish to unlock the secrets of perfect fried chicken.
>>9164454
go easy on the batter. and make sure your chicken is DRY before you coat it. coat should be : dry chicken -> flour + spices -> light egg dip -> panko. don't double dip
double dip. Dry chicken -> seasoned flour -> buttermilk/sour cream -> season flour let it set in a rack for 10 while your oil heats. Fry white meat at 320F and dark meat at 140. Should take about 12 minutes if you don't use cold chicken.

Ask someone who works in a fast food chain anything.

I can put on a smile for a customer after a 12 hour startup that goes south straight from the outset, why can't you plaster on a smile for your little shift pressing buttons and putting hamburgers together?
Anyone else remember when coffee vending machines also had chicken soup as an option?
Anyway, please make your selection, /ck/.
>>9162507
What the hell are you talking about
I remember getting that Knorr golden vegetable soup from a vending machine back when I was a kid. Good shit. It's too bad they got rid of it once they renovated the leisure centre though.
>>9162507
My college has one of these and it always fucks up. One time the Iranian exchange student from sweden put 2 bucks in and the machine started shooting hot water everywhere. He screamed "WHAT DA FACK?!?! ARE YEW SERIUS?" in the most excessively middle-eastern accent you can image, shit killed me
I saw this picture in my news feed, would anyone know what the recipe is?
Looks like some sort of hearty soup, though I'm not sure what kind. Corn, chicken, cilantro? Maybe some sort of Mexican/Cuban dish?
>>9162466
Yeah I thought chicken corn and spinach
Uma delícia!
Breakfast thread.

How do I make these little shits palatable?
I bought them because I have no fridge and remembered enjoying them as a kid, but the soft texture is revolting.
Every day my friend would bring two cans of these out to our makeshift clubhouse which was a broken down van in his yard. He would swiftly suck down the sausages, and then slam the can against the ceiling of the van, letting the juice drip off the ceiling and having the whole van smell like vienna sausages
He never offered anybody else a sausage
>>9158173
i want to ride in the sausage van

You should have called him little wiener kid until he stopped being an asshole
