All of your examples are stupid pseudo-intellectual-cook bullshit.

I don't clean my mushrooms(chestnut) at all. I like the earthy flavour it adds to the dish. Is it bad?

I don't wash any of my vegetables. Never have. I figure if there's any bad stuff on them it'll die in the cooking process anyway.

>>9175952
Why do both, dummy.
Quick rinse then a towel wash sounds sensible.

>>9175952
They don't immediately get spongy from washing them wtf. Also if you cook them, any water that's on there gets cooked off anyways. It's basically nonsense that's been repeated too often and now people take it as gospel.

https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/wordofmouth/2010/jan/18/should-you-wash-mushrooms

>McGee investigated the subject with characteristic thoroughness for his New York Times column some two decades ago, and concluded there was not. In this initial experiment, he soaked 252g of mushrooms in water for five minutes, blotted off any surface moisture, then weighed them again. They'd soaked up a mere 6g, or a sixteenth of a teaspoon each – so briefly rinsing mushrooms is unlikely to make much difference at all.

You must not have met a lot of mushrooms. They soak up a ton of water and get soggy and fall apart. The 6 seconds it takes to wash them isn't enough time for that to happen is all.

>>9176044
The common person would probably fuck up their knives more than sharpen them. Unless you mean honing it is recommended you get your knives professionally sharpened.

>>9175724

you don't put tomatos or garlic in your chili?

>>9176048

>>9176035
So is orange juice, but no one complains about that. Also store chestnut mushrooms are already pretty clean.

>>9176048
Many use the same knives for decades, frequently dishwashering them and never having them sharpened. It gets very loud when they try using them.

>>9175724
tiny knives should be used in some occasions, they are lighter and easier to use than big knives

Tiny knives have a spot, but if you use them for more than detailed work, youre a moron, big knives chop better. That said, for trimming a small knife is my choice generally

they all come in fucking filthy. the matsutake need to be sprayed off with a dishwasher sprayer at the dish sink; black trumpets are full of pine needles and moss; chanterelles are full of leaf decay; morels are full of sand.

sure, washing store bought mushrooms is retarded, but don't say that washing mushrooms in general is retarded.

I wash mushrooms because I have never thought "I wish this mushroom were drier"

The extra moisture can be cooked off:

>want to make cookies
>forgot to peel the mushrooms and deactivate almonds

Well, first of all, usually all mushrooms should be boiled thoroughly before even starting to cook anything with them. Well, technically not all but most. You should realise that mushrooms take in all the pollution and crap, so it is a wise safety measure even when the mushroom is edible just like that. Then again, if one has a favourite spot and all the, he can prolly estimate the quality and such without even tasting. I myself like to always be sure.

Previously from that you, you of course take your mushroom knife and you mushroom brush and remove the dirt and bad bits. Then, the actual cooking bit, mushrooms stay good for about 1 to 3 days after picking in a refrigerator. The taste reduces, though. Mushrooms should be always prepared as fresh as possible. I personally usually season and dry some species and cook some right away. There's nothing like fresh mushroom salad.

This. When chili is cooked with only meat it's a burrito filling, not a soup or stew. Even then, you slather refried beans on the tortilla shell.

>>9175724
I've had chili on rice, chili on spaghetti, chili on toast, and yes, chili on beans.

You can't deactivate almonds. It's just sprouting but not waiting for leaves to pop out. Most almonds you buy in the U.S. can't be activated because the FDA requires pasteurization, done with steam or propylene oxide, a probable human carcinogen.

>>9179450
>Taking copypasta seriously

>>9175940
Sweetie, mushrooms aren't grown in soil.

>>9181055

You're right. Many of them are grown in manure.

>>9181076
nah, mushrooms need plant material to grow not horseshit.
Try coffee grounds and sawdust.

>>9181080
>plant material to grow not horseshit.

Plant material is exactly what's in horse shit.

>>9181086
they prefer plant material that's not already broke down you dingus, they're mushrooms (saprophytes) they're the ones that break the material down, they don't want predigested shit.

>>9181094
I'm sure that animals on factory farm feedlots don't "want" to eat the shit food they are given, yet they do anyway.

Fact is that manure is commonly used for mushroom cultivation. It may not be the ideal growth medium, but that nothing to do with the fact that it is used for that purpose.

>>9181110
manure is a lot more expensive than sawdust, coffee grounds and other waste shit that mushrooms can grow in.

>>9176035
you know that there is sand in toothpaste right?

>>9175724
multiple times now pepin has stated that washing mushrooms is fine as long as it's done directly before use in cooking. The fear with washing is that the mushroom is going to soak the water right up as it sits, this isn't an issue if you wash then toss it into a pan directly. Just hold it under the tap and rub off any visible dirt, it's better than accepting that dirt into your dish

In most cases shit won't be free. Manure is used as fertilizer, especially in organic operations, that eshew the use of synthetic chemicals.

Except, if you are trying to imply, that you want to supply the whole need of a large-scale mushroom growing operation from your own buttocks.

Homestyle and People Choice can (the latter MUST) have beans in them though, sperg.

The Red and Green chili have the pasta and bean restrictions, but that does not mean all chili has no beans. This is especially true for turkey chillis which benefit greatly from the added richness of beans since the meat is so lean to begin with.

Not everybody uses ground beef for chili. Some people use chuck roast or flank steak for their chili. It ends up looking like a weird, Mexican-ized version of pot roast/beef stew.

Does anybody here make turkey and black bean chili? I know I do.

I did something stupid a few minutes ago: emptying an opened jar of tomato based sauce into a pie filling I'm cooking before really looking at it. Then I saw white cotton-like mould growing on the inside of the almost empty jar.

There's only a couple of tablespoons of that sauce in the pan. Should I empty the entire thing in the trash or use it anyway?

i put my flour and bread in the fridge so the moths can't get to it
am i a bad person?
