How do I make a PB and J sandwich? I've been searching for the perfect recipe all of my life and I haven't found it yet. Any ideas?
How do you make your PB&J just now, anon?
I like to use blackcurrant or raspberry jam, sometimes I'll fry it in a little butter.
I never seen "grape jelly" in the UK, what's the deal?
>>9026988
I've also pondered on this thought. Do I need a rice cooker?
Hey /ck/, gotta do an assignment for school using these ingredients. What's something cool I can make?
>>9026924
LETS GET NUTS
Butterfly the breast. Cook off the spaghetti, mushroom, bells and onion. Rub the breast with the garlic ( and salt and pepper). Bake that shit.
Hit it with the tomato sauce and the Parm. Maybe save some Red Bell and Mush for garnish and color....boom.
I've never done this but I would...but all I have right now is lamb shanks.
Do you have to use them all and only those ingedients?
>>9026943
Limited to these, but I don't have to use them all
So last week I went to Sam's club and got a 25 pound bag of bread flour and a big jawn of dry yeast.
I've made pizza and bagels (first time) and had some great success.
I assumed bagels would be more complicated but they're super easy to make and I never found them to be so satisfying and delicious until I had one fresh from the oven (with some smoked salmon pate of course).
So now I'm looking for more things to do with my excess supply of flour and yeast.
What do you guys do with your doughs?
I dug them
>>9022413
Throw away your bread flour and just do a blend of hard wheat and soft white wheat for your dough. It'll be a bit of trial and error, but I find being able to control the protein content of the flour helps me control gluten development better.
Bread flour develops too fast for me and really hampers my long fermenting doughs
>>9022428
do you use a 1:1 ratio of wheat and white flour?
what are you baking specifically with your long fermenting doughs?
I'm a complete rookie when it comes to baking and I want to make some nice bread next but I'm not sure where to start.

Chipotle, cause that's what every college millennial girl loves.
Does anyone here collect cutlery? I just got my new shipment of custom mugs.

Breakfast, /ck/, you?
You never cook steak with eggs unless you want burnt eggs or boiled eggs. Stop fucking up. This is the kind of shit you do at a camp site.
>>9021095
I had oatmeal with cinnamon and a couple fried eggs with salsa.

Post info.
>>9032059
How can he post info about a fabricated story that was made just to spark a discussion about how gay hipsters are?
it was meant as a joke about prices
but i forgot there's a lot of assblasted nu-male cuckolds on here who got triggered by the term hipster
Hey everyone, just wanted to have a discussion about sous vide. What is your favorite dish to soux vide? Have you tried soux vide before?
All relevant questions and discussion are welcome here. I have not tried soux vide cooking in the past, but would like to get into it. Also looking for recommendations for the best soux vide machine on a budget.
Pic related, soux vide porkchop, which I really would like to try.
>>9031747
man, you are just years late to the party
>>9031759
they started meming them up on slickdeals and massdrop so all the plebs who never heard of it think it's the "latest fad"
we're basically going through the sous vide version of where the internet was with sriracha in 2003 when the first shipping crate of something that had been around for decades finally crossed the sierra nevada range and entered deepest flyover country
>>9031747
>nobody cooks sous vide vegetables.

Would you ever eat a frog?
>>9031294
I have and I would again.
>>9031294
Would and have. Had frog legs in Louisiana in a platter of assorted fried shit. Pretty good all in all, would eat again.
>>9031294
You haven't? Frog gigging is a popular summer pastime here in Illinois. I like them deep fried, but they're also good when they're grilled.
just made some wedges but for some reason they taste like shit
in the past, putting them on a tray with some oil salt and pepper is enough and they come out fine, but for some reason, today, they taste fucking awful
any ideas?
Make them out of regular potato next time.
Sweet potato fries are all about the novelty, which wears off after about 2.5 fries and then the rest of the batch is just gross.
>>9031247
If you wanted them crispy you have to coat them in some kind of flour or starch first. Other than that, you might've just not been in the mood for them, or the potatoes/oil were old and started to taste off.
>>9031346
>taste off
i think they probably were off, i can see some black parts just beneath the skin
thats annoying because i bought them yesterday and they shouldnt go off until 13th
Just fuck my mouth up.
>>9031159
How would you like me to fuck your mouth?
Nothing quite as good as frozen sugar water
>>9031159
Wow. Good thread.
basement dwelling NEET here who can't figure out how to use an oven
can i use a microwave to cook frozen beef or corn burgers?
Like defrost it, then cook it.
I have no clue pls help mother dearest has abandoned me for 3 days.
>>9030976
>an i use a microwave to cook frozen beef or corn burgers?
Of course you can.
BTW cooking burgers in an oven is silly. Cook them in a frying pan.
>>9030983
ok thanks just the packet didn't mention it
Defrost the meat in the microwave.
Use a skillet to fry it on the stove top, not in the oven.
Well, I just spent about a year in Scotland, and anything I try, is just pure shit. Every fucking dessert/cake/ice cream is disgustingly sweet. Meals I tried are on chips & fish level. Nice from time to time, but it's more like fast food than real meal. I'm from Poland, growing up in small village; so my family always had some fresh veggies at home. I just can't stand shitty food here. I guess that's how things roll in cities in general, not just Scotland...
But anyway, already getting offtopic here. What would you get in Scotland? What high quality/not too expensive products I can get here, to make sensible meals, not total trash food? Where? Should I try making my own steaks? Steaks are not popular in Poland at all, I don't know where to begin. I tried doing steak once, it was like old shoe. I started to gain weight from trash food, and making trips to Polish shop everyday is tiresome. Well, getting proper kiełbasa is a must, because what you call ,,sausage" here is fucking trash. I have impression the closest thing I will get here comparable to normal dinner is curry from some paki restaurant. Please prove me wrong, I don't want to end up like local lardass community.

Shut your gob and get scrubbing them toilets.

Roll on Brexit.
Now fix my toilet and fuck off.

Literally company pulled me out of my cosy workplace in Poland, because sister-company here in Scotland have huge troubles. Your salmon is shit. I couldn't believe salmon can look that BAD. But whatever. I think about getting out of fishy buisness, and finally open my own craft-beer pub. I homebrew a lot of beer. Actually doing it for about 5 years already? It's much easier to do stuff like this here, because you have better law. Dunno.
Are these good?
>>9030810
Nostalgic, yes. Good? No.
>>9030810
oh fuck I remember seeing a jar of these fucker's at my friend's house during a sleepover
they were bad yes but I'd still buy them to see what they taste like now
Fix your nail
So how much of /ck/ actually cooks as a profession? How many of you went to school for it? Im starting to think most of you are just weekend warriors to this stuff.
>>9030429
It's not my full-time job, but I do catering gigs on the weekends. Pit BBQ, spit-roasted pig, and crawfish boils. It pays surprisingly well.
Beyond that I cook as a hobby. For me, it's a great way to unwind after a busy or rough day at work.
Don't do it it's hell, you will hate everybody in the kitchen and you well turn to alcohol and drugs to cope with your shitty job
I like cooking as a hobby, not trying to be a poorfag and do it professionally.
