Why noone here talks about cooking in a bag (heatproof plastic,

>>8361307
Huh?

>>8361307
because browning makes things taste better.

>>8361307
because the bag will melt, retard. why would you want to eat a molten bag for dinner?

You put all your products in a bag, seal it (not completely airproof, or it will explode) and put in an oven. It feels like a half-way between steaming and normal baking. If you want to have a crust, just open a packet for last 10-20 minutes.
I just can`t go back to normal way.

But i never saw someone using it here, on /ck.
Is there a superior way or people just don`t know?

>>8361335
That still made no sense

Get a cheap covered roaster such as graniteware. You are not getting the benefit of gravy making from your caramellized drippings, only the benefit of not checking your roast for needing water to prevent the drippings from scorching. You have less evaporation in the bag, so it's cheat mode for like when you're staying in some cabin in the mountains and do not have access to your usual equipment you love and prefer. You have easy cleanup but at a cost of flavor in browned drippings and texture in your meat crust. It's like the equivalent of crock pot vs oven baked. It's dissimilar. The latter is best. The crock pot is like steamer buffet food. At some point, you don't care, but if you did, it's not much work with a covered roasster. I like the dark colored roaster surface. Makes an excellent sunday roast.

Do you get out much?

Honestly the only peoplevI've seen do this were my ex girlfriends sister and her mother. They were those health food freaks who wouldn't use salt, fat and eat gluten free shit because of some article by faux food scientists. Needless to say I hated eating their food because it was absolutely terrible.

>>8361358
>it was absolutely terrible.
For you

>>8361356
well, not really, no, but what does that have to do with anything? i still wouldn't want to eat a molten bag. how could that possibly taste good?

>>8361307
Op not sure if this is what you are talking about but sous-vide style food is great

>>8361374
Good meem

>>8361307
yes, carcinogens make your food considerably better

>>8361387
Thanks dude I try my hardest desu

>>8361388
You do know that any roasted food contains carcinogens, regardless of oil, smoke and pan?

>>8361307
Nice post newfag. You know that what you're describing is a poor man's sous vide. Sous vide is the new rage among /ck/ imbeciles, who think a centuries old technique that drew attention because the pop chef, Realto Attentinalo, demonstrated it one time, shortly before he came out with his cute, $899.99 sous vide machine.

>>8361401
I thought was only any parts that burnt

even then does that justify adding more carcinogens to your food?

>>8361307
>>8361356
I have never trusted oven safe or microwave safe plastic.

They may have created plastic that doesn't melt but for fuck sake. It's still plastic. Get that shit away from your food.

>>8361307
It's kind of a forgotten thing at the moment. My aunt used to make some amazing country hams cooked in a bag.

Its not forgotten, its just uncommon and often not necessary.
There are plastic bag liners for slow cookers that are okay, there will be no browning in there anyway. But at the same time, there should be no sticking, so what's the point? I think the point is easy cleanup, but washing a crock is already easy. Maybe not for the old ones where you cant remove the stoneware insert.
Wrapped food does have the occasional advantage. Have a look at this video from Chef John and see if you think it has merit.
