Cook-hacks thread

Are you trying to tell me you didn't always slather a grilled cheese in butter? Next you'll tell me to add salt to the water when I cook pasta.

>>8642759

remember to use toast when making grilled cheese

just putting cheese on your grill is good but for best results you need bread

Whenever I make a peanut butter sandwich I add an equal part jelly to match the peanut butter. My gf loves it, and always asks me how I make it taste so good.

It's my secret, and I'll never tell. ;)

>basic knowledge is a hack

>>8642786
Not him, but I usually just use some nonstick spray to lube the pan.

Whenever I want to make a drink cool I add some ice.

Works every time.

Uh, what? You've just been dropping dry bread into a pan before this?

I learned the mayo trick from a mayo advertisement before a movie. The movie was shit, but the mayo ad changed my life.

>>8642940
what movie?

When I want to make a grilled cheese sandwich, I grill it

Amazing, right?

When I make sandwiches I found out that you can actually slice the bread with a knife so you dont have to use the whole loaf

>>8642958
>Amazing, right?

No, I'm aware that most people have no clue what a plancha grill is, or the fact that the term "grilled cheese" derived from that.

Thread has potential. Wouldn't call them hacks though, just useful cooking tips.

Making home-made burgers, info taken from months of research into burgerscience:
>never use lean beef; use at least 15% fat, ideally 20%, up to 30%, fat is what makes burgers good and juicy
>simplicity is key; don't go adding shit like breadcrumbs and egg to your burger, season with cracked black pepper and just add toppings to the finished burger if you want to add further flavor
>don't overwork the meat as you mix in the seasonings; toss the ground beef gently to work the seasoning through it like tossing a salad, don't squeeze the meat into a paste, this helps prevent the burger puffing up like a meatball when you cook it
>press meat gently into a ball and flatten, then press a circular dip into one side of the burger with your thumb to further prevent puffing up
>don't put salt in the meat before you form the patty; instead season both sides of the burger with kosher salt or coarse sea salt just before cooking, this step helps get a good crust on both sides for that smoky burger taste
>use a really fucking hot pan
it werks

>>8643212
Should you always grill a pattie, or does putting them over low coals work too?

>>8643212
>simplicity is key
wrong. a thick juicy burger will taste like shit with just black pepper you fucking donkey. Worcestershire sauce, liquid smoke, SALT, pepper, garlic and onion powder... it's ground beef not a fucking steak bro.
>don't salt the meat before you form a patty
you're a moron.

>>8643691
Clearly you've never tried making a burger that way, so your ignorance is excusable.

>>8643661
Low coals is fine as well.

>>8643709
>Clearly you've never tried making a burger that way, so your ignorance is excusable.
Clearly I never tried making a burger without seasoning it first? That's entirely how babby's first burger is. Then you season it next time. And it tastes better. Then you season it too much. Then you get it down.

Not seasoning your groundbeef is fucking stupid. It isn't rib-eye. And salting the outside for a crust is retarded dadscience.

This is a thread for good tips not stupid ones

if you're putting bananas on a sandwich, cut 'em length wise.
i don't remember why this is a food hack i just like it that way.

>>8643728
I dunno what to tell you, man. My method turns out just peachy and I've been through a shitload of seasonings, which have ultimately made little difference to the flavor. You might get something out of different seasonings in the meat itself if you're going to eat the fucking patty on its own, but the majority of the taste comes from the way you cook it and the shit you put on top of it.
Put whatever you want in your burger, but I know for fact my prep method is rock solid.

>>8643764
Are you grinding your own beef? That makes a big difference. But store ground beef is just completely flavorless so I don't understand that.

>>8643775
I go to a decent butcher nearby and get the meat ground at the counter. That may be where our differences lie.

> But store ground beef is just completely flavorless
You're 100% right there. I see where you're coming from now.

>>8643794
Yeah definitely. If you're getting it grinded from a butcher I can understand that. I don't much to my steaks.

>>8642794
Where were your parents when this was going on? I really want to know.

>>8643802
Incidentally, I'll concede to salting the outside to get a good crust being retarded dadscience, at least as far as the crust goes. That's a misbelief on my part.
I can say with absolute certainty that there's a distinct difference in taste between a burger that hasn't been salted on the outside and one that has, even if it was salted during seasoning. I've tested that one thoroughly.

I take my burgers seriously, so despite my defensiveness, I'll take your advice to heart. I know my method is sound, but I can always afford to play with seasonings a bit more. I never actually considered worcestershire sauce in a burger even though I've used it in chili, but I do draw the line at liquid smoke. Barbecue or bust when it comes to smoke.

>>8643827
Salt right before you put the patty on the grill. Salt breaks down proteins (which we love for steak right?) and your burger won't hold up as well if it's been sitting with salt in it while you're making other burgers.

Not sure about taste, probably just easier to detect since it's on the surface. Makes sense. Yeah if you're BBQ you don't need liquid smoke that's definitely for panfrying fags like me with no grill.

>>8643881
>Salt right before you put the patty on the grill
Absolutely correct, I mentioned that in my first post.

>Not sure about taste, probably just easier to detect since it's on the surface
You're probably right with that. Salt does make things delicious if you use the right amount.

Even with panfrying, I'd prefer not to use liquid smoke. Panfried burgers have a taste of their own, almost to the point where I'd consider them and barbecued burgers each as valid variations.

Why do people need to cause the pasta to not stick? Stirring it a little bit keeps it from sticking. I don't understand this meme.

>>8643983
They're doing something wrong. Not stirring. Going from cold to hot instead of adding to a roiling boil. Not salting. Many variables.

>>8643691
>liquid smoke

filthy fuckin' philistine, absolutely disgusting.

Once you have your old pizza crusts ( honestly they keep for days. I did this to a several sets of L meat lover's from the past weekend on Wednesday and it was fine)

You'll also need some DARK brown sugar, because darker is better. You will also need butter cut up into slivers like pic related. Not to skinny though, you want it thic and juiccy

pop em in the oven at like 350 degrees for a little bit. I'm non conformist so don't expect a time. I usally pace around the oven and watch them cook so I know exactly when to pull them out! If you don't have the patience to do this I suggest you not even try this recipe because this requires a little bit of love and passion for food.

What kind of idiot doesn't butter the outside of their bread when making grilled cheese sandwiches?

Some people spread mayo on the outside before frying. I have tried it, it's not my thing, but it's good for people who actually like mayo. I like butter.
