Food for the Food God

This here? This thread right here?


This is the new food thread.


This is where we drop some cookery science on all y'all.


Some of us are better than others. Regardless of the food you need help with, somebody here is sitting on a pile of knowledge. So ask away. Even if it's a stupid question, it will get answered.

    Cast iron goes fine through the dish washer on hot water and a drying cycle. Make sure to use a lot of soap. Something very abrasive.

    But salting the meat before you form the patties changes the texture to a more sausage-y burger! And smushing your burgers mashes the juices out of your meat! I feel betrayed, PW.

    That looks interesting... unsure if want. At least worth a try.

    I'm not saying that I think it's gross or anything, just that I don't get it. Steaming doesn't bring anything to the table in terms of flavor or texture, except that the burger ends up being juicy, so in my head I don't get the advantage over grilling in some way.

    Never been to a White Castle that steams. Always on the grill with the onions and other shit. Hundreds of those little patties cooking away.

    Hmm...

    I think I get what you're saying, Stale. I just thought you meant in a setup like the one from that Man vs Food video.

    2 things:
    -start with the pan cold
    -use med-low heat and turn the bacon constantly until its where you want it to be between crispy and delicious.

    a 3rd thing:
    -if cooking a lot of bacon at once (let's say more than will comfortably fit in your pan) you can do it in the oven. same thing: start with the oven cold, don't preheat. lay the bacon on a wire rack over a tinfoil lined sheet, and put it in and set the oven to 400. Oven's vary in how fast they heat up and how accurately they hold it, so leave it for 10 minutes then check it every minute or so until you figure out how long your oven takes.

    a 4th most important thing:
    -never forget the golden rule of cooking bacon.

    a 5th thing that should go between the first 2 and the 3rd:
    -use something like cast iron to cook bacon, or at least some heavy bottomed skillet/fry pan. the fact you got both burnt and chewy sounds like your pan is not heating evenly.

    The best bacon I've ever made was cooked in a dutch oven on a stove top. It's like using a cast iron pan with training wheels.

    I've been doing a lot of vegetarian cooking lately. There's something very satisfying about knocking out a killer meal without using any meat; things tend to taste good more because ingredients come together well, and less because of a particularly well-marbled steak.
