    my dad has put worcestershire on every burger he's ever made for the last thirty years

    I mean, I do this a lot with, say, ground beef of shaved streak that I’ve just browned. This was in my non-stick pan. Basically I brown the mean and then I dump a half a bottle of Wistershemler sauce on the meat, let it liquify, and pour into into my avacado-pasta health shake. It’s a good pick me up for those 3AM videogaming sessions.

    There's some pan cooking techniques which are liquid friendly and some that aren't but generally if you're trying to get a sear on something it's best to avoid adding anything runny to the pan.
    Avocado pasta shakes go with anything, of course.

    Cheese just overpowers most other flavors and textures too easily in high volumes.

    It's why I won't eat an extra cheese pizza. What's the point. All you taste is the cheese at that point.

    I haven't eaten extra cheese pizza in like 20 years. Or really anything that has large chunks of mozzarella on it.
    I have trouble dealing with large quantities of it. Like I just end up chewing it forever and ever and there's never any less of it and I can't swallow and I've almost choked it several times, so now I don't bother.
    Cheese in general is real good though.

    I need a more thorough explanation of this.

    It's called an overactive imagination. And/or insanity.

    But yeah I do often just kind of saute (I guess?) in a "robust" amount of Worsteshire sauce sometimes.

    I literally used an entire bottle of teriyaki sauce to make this a week or two ago:

    2medik99ewxb.png

    That's 20.5 oz of teriyaki sauce.

    It was a lot of food but too much teriyaki sauce.

    Next time you do something like this, try using a 50% dilution of the sauce you like and water and let the water boil out over a few minutes.

    Yes...I know. I posted all that on Facebook and Instagram and I already self-deprecatingly and preemptively apologized for it.

    Ironically, my new cutlery set is currently sitting in a package downstairs, but due to COVID policies in my building, I had to wait before picking it up. I should be able to grab it now.

    Looks like a cast iron, so the best thing to do is of course to put in in the dishwasher for three cycles, then soak it in a saltwater bath for a week, before leaving it to air dry in a damp cupboard.

    Indeedly doodly - I threw the contents in the sink and put a teensy bit of water in. Using a paper towel it cleaned up in seconds. It looks basically brand new.

    Also, the only thing I diverged from your suggestion on was the taters for tonight. I personally don't like using my full oven if I can avoid it so I ended up just baking two potatoes for 40 minutes in my air fryer. It's not the first time I've baked potatoes in my air fryer. Came out amazing. A tiny bit of PAM and some salt. No preheat needed. Just 40 minutes at 400 degrees, turning them after 25 minutes. So. Damned. Good. And the perfect compliment to a steam like this.

    The potatoes didn't make it into my pictures because I slightly mistimed the completion of the potatoes and the steak by 5 minutes so when the baked potatoes were done I skipped the pic and went straight to the eatin'.

    But honestly, I literally like almost romantically love my air fryer. But don't worry, I prefer to put my meat on the cast iron. Which I also now love.

    I'm a big fan of using the microwave + oven for baked potatoes. Cuts down on the total time you've got the oven running, but still results in fairly crispy skin. Usually about 7 minutes in the microwave and 25 minutes in the oven at 400.

    I have a 4.2 quart Secura and I love it. The controls are two dials: time and temp. I prefer the elegance of simplicity over digital readouts and displays.

    It looks like right now on Amazon, the 5.3 quart is $3 less than the 4.2, though.

    Does anyone here have experience growing chili peppers because I grew one last year which was advertised as a "mild chili pepper", yet eating it off the plant was almost too much too handle

    Can't imagine what the hot ones would've been like

    Sometimes peppers of the same variety vary wildly in spiciness. I've had Jalapenos that barely tickled the tongue, and others that scorched the pallet. If I remember correctly most of the spice lives in the seeds and ribs of the peppers, so cut those out for milder flavors

    yeah spice levels are usually an average, seeds are mucho maxo heat, and fresh chillis will be noticeably hotter than dried, so if it's too much you can try drying it and seeing if that mellows it. (Blistering over direct flame will also sweeten and smooth out the flavour).

    Sorry, I have been playing Civilization VI with my roommate and his girlfriend for like the last 5 hours.

    https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07GJBBGHG/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    It's the COSORI 5.8 qt one. I love it. It's one of the best things I've ever bought, no exaggeration.

    I think there may also be a wifi enabled model now, too. Same thing basically with wifi so you can (I assume) remotely control it.

    I feel like 5.8 qt is a good size. You can fit about 4 burgers in there. I made a 2-3 serving size pan of baked ziti in it. Etc. I can post some photos in the morning if you want.

    I've made 2 frozen bubba burgers (on one side of the basket) + a whole batch of frozen fries (on the other half of the basket) in one batch a few times and they came out great.

    Smaller is definitely fine, but the 5.8 seems to be the "just right" size for me.

    edit: I will say that I rarely use any of the presets. So all those features are kinda irrelevant once you figure out the right times and temps and shakes for your typical meals.

    By shakes I mean that, similar to a deep fryer (I gather, since I've never had or used one), you should shake certain items about half way through. Like fries.

    But honestly, you can just toss a bunch of shit and lay it all over each other and it'll almost always still cook fine. I did this with those paprika fries I made weeks ago. I don't even remember if I shook them halfway through cooking. I just tossed them in and cooked.

    Just keep some paper towels handy for the microwave, the potato releases a ton of steam and it's just all liquid in there afterward.
