What does /ck/ like to do with their bagels?
i like to eat them
>>8894151
Fuck em, that slight stickiness really does it for me.
>>8894151
I'm pretty purist when it comes to bagels. If I'm eating an "everything" bagel, I'll put chive and onion cream cheese on it. If I'm eating a plain bagel, I'll put plain cream cheese on it and some fresh berries. Sometimes I just like them with butter. Occasionally, I'll put cottage cheese on them. That's about it.
>hi can you pass this to the chef please? thanks!
Ma'am I'm so sorry but the Chef says you are a liability and he will not be preparing food for your, or anyone in your party.
>>8893784
>yeah, I'll give it to him, but I'll be straight-up honest. He'll probably have a big laugh from reading it before rolling it up and using it to snort cocaine.
Are you implying the person in question is pretending to be allergic?
How do you have your coffee /ck/?
>>8893621
In a mug.
>>8893621
In a thermos
>>8893621
I don't like coffee.
Thankfully the coffee machine at work also dispenses hot chocolate.
What is the secret to making the fried skin on fried chicken so thick and crunchy? The crunch on the chicken I make is so weak it might as well be roasted chicken. Is it the amount of flour you use? How do you get so much flour to stick on the chicken?
>>8893509
Rice flour produces a much crunchier batter than wheat flour does. If you are using a breading then use panko; those are much crunchier than ordinary breadcrumbs.
Let your breading dry for a while (maybe 30 min) before frying
When you're done frying, place your chicken on a RACK to cool down, rather that sitting on a plate or tray. You want air to be able to circulate around the chicken. If it sits on a plate then the rigid surface will trap steam against the the chicken which makes the coating turn soggy.
Flour -> Egg -> Flour

I heard that part of the reason KFC and the like are able to make it so good is because they use heavy duty equipment.
They use something called a pressure fryer or something like that. Apparently it makes it easier to fry large batches quicker and at an even temperature.
/ck/ what is your go-to burger recipe?
me:
>acquire ground beef or grind my own if i'm feeling fancy
>season with salt, pepper, a bit of garlic powder and ground mustard seeds, mix it up real good
>oil a pan and get it fucking hot
>grab a ball of meat and toss it on the pan
>squash it down with a spatula
>wait til one side is done, flip it and place a slice of cheese on top
>wait til other side is done
>pick it up, put it in a bun
>serve
what about you, /ck/?
-Beef short rib meat, freshly ground.
-Form into patties with a dent in the center
-Season patties with salt and pepper, brush with melted butter.
-cook in a hot skillet until there is a nice strong sear on each side
-Aim for a doneness of medium rare.
-When patties are done, toast the buns in a little of the rendered fat from cooking patties.

pretty much the same except i like to knead some finely chopped onions into the meat and put rocket on the bun.
btw it still weirds me out that it's called rocket in english.
>>8893463
>All that effort.
It takes me 70 seconds to prepare and cook mine and i guarantee it would shoot yours out the water.
White chocolate is the best chocolate.
Real cocoa is inedible. What you know as "chocolate" is so full of butter and sugar that it completely alters the flavor profile of the cocoa bean.
It's like taking some cranberries, juicing them, and then adding orange juice, apple juice, and sugar and saying "I love cranberries!" No, you don't.
You don't love chocolate. You love white chocolate with disgusting, inedible garbage beans thrown into it for no reason.
You can all stop pretending to hate white chocolate now. I know you were just conditioned to think this way by emulating what you saw and heard on the tv.
>>8893201
Well you know what they say if it ain't white it ain't right
>>8893201
White chocolate is not chocolate.
>not just eating unsweetened cocoa powder
Schokoladen Pizza.
>>8893048
Do Canadians actually eat this?
>>8893048
Please no
>>8893048
It's spelled Schokoladenpizza. Germans hate using multiple words to describe a single item.
why is steak so bad?
i just had steak because i had to make sure i hated it , and its confirmed, its really bad.
it was pretty expensive too
its like eating gooey dead animal you found on the side of the road with flies on it and just so fucking boring
i cant stand people who eat steak
i actually threw it away after taking a few bites i almost threw up
what a waste of food to put in my stomach when i could be enjoying any other thing much more
good post
Alright, even though this is a shitpost, I do have a question about steak.
I've been a vegetarian for 18 years - just getting into trying meat now as I'm working as a chef. I've cooked and eaten chicken, duck, fish, lobster, pork and goat. They were all pretty good, duck was particularly great.
Steak however hasn't really impressed me. I cooked a sirloin the other day, basting it in butter, rosemary and garlic, but the taste and flavour to me was just overall a bit bland.
Any suggestions as to how I can cook it differently so that I can get a better flavour out of it, or possibly something to complement it?
Picture is the steak in question.
>>8893037
word steak is bland as fuck
i think these people who are eating steak are like not really human and theyre pretending like this is a good food
i cant explain it
alright /ck/ I'm dieting, it's chicken and rice for me as far into the future as I can see. post your best chicken & rice recipe, bonus points for freezable & reheatable.

I've been to a pretty good number of small plate haute cuisine dinners and I swear to god they would actually serve some variation of this. I've seen some stupid shit on a plate before.
Why are Indian buffets usually so much higher quality than Chinese buffets?
and both are heaps better than shitty japanese ayce
>>8892091
Because Indians don't hate Americans
>>8892091
I don't know, but Indian places are always superior to Chinese places.
Does anyone else immediately microwave their ice cream after scooping it into a bowl and drink it with a straw? Where can I buy unfrozen "ice" cream?
what the fuck is wrong with you
Pure speculation, but couldn't you pretty much just mix cream, sugar, and flavorings?
your local microburgery
