    Uriel the ice cream recipe that I tried last weekend was really good!

    1 can sweetened condensed milk
    2 cups heavy cream
    vanilla

    you mix the vanilla into the condensed milk, whip up the cream to stiff, and then fold the whipped cream into the vanilla milk and freeze it.

    it's very light in texture in comparison and freezes to an almost mid ice cream (it doesn't turn into a brick like Breyers ice cream)

    hardest part would be the whipping the cream by hand, but I'm sure you can do that

    Oh cool!

    I do have a strand mixer, just not a hand-held one for the double bowl ice-cream method.

    I'll have to try this out.

    Was worried about my meringues when I took them out; there was a chew to them, but that turned into a nasty chunk of hard sugar in the mouth.

    But overnight, they seem to have died out into nice crispy things.

    They kinda remind me of the marshmallows you get in Lucky Charms. They’ve got that kind of texture.

    This was an interesting experiment.

    Yeah some foods just hate being reheated or eaten as leftovers. I absolutely adore spaghetti carbonara but I can never really justify making it at home since I can't finish my portion in one go. Let me tell you, something about that egg/cheese slurry mix turns downright FOUL if you try to reheat it in a microwave or pan after it cools.

    There’s a long-gone Halal truck on 46th and 6th that I miss dearly. They had sweet chili sauce which I swear none of the other Halal trucks carry. I miss that place more than a lot of other shit that’s no longer in my life. I’m pretty sure I liked that place even better than The Halal Guys (which was also great).

    Hello today I was informed that consuming raw flour is bad for you, and googling it has led me to what seems to be some actual info but a whole lot of fearmongering, which may be more about individual brands of flour than flour as a whole.

    So, food experts: am I "safe" to make and consume my own raw cookie dough? I know raw eggs are frowned upon, but I buy my eggs from the local farmer's market and my understanding is eggs from more or less free-roaming chickens are safe.

  • BahamutZEROBahamutZERO Registered User regular
    as I understand it, fecal contamination from tightly caged factory egg production is the big risk, so eggs from free range chickens should be more safe.... EXCEPT there is no USDA labeling standard for applying the label "free range" to egg products, so that label is legally meaningless in that context.

    I dunno if raw flour is deadly, I do know that it gives a lot of people indigestion, esp. uncooked bread dough eg.

    Personally I’ve never worried about eating raw cookie dough or homemade mayonnaise as long as it’s freshly made, and so far I’m salmonella free.

    Well the eggs I buy are from a literal farmer that has like 30 chickens running around on his land.

    Raw flour is one of those weird food safety areas where if a bunch of people eat raw flour, some of them will get sick and a few of them will die. The more people who do it, the more people will get sick, and the more people will die.

    However, the odds of you, specifically, getting sick from eating raw flour are extremely low. Sometimes flour can be contaminated with salmonella or e. coli just by being a starchy food in the world. The good news is that it's an acute danger, not an accumulating one. So it's not a situation where eating a little cookie dough every week will eventually give you cancer. If you eat cookie dough and don't get lava gut, you got away with it. The dice reset for the next time you eat cookie dough.

    As with undercooked steak, it's a reasonable risk to consider if you really enjoy eating very slightly risky foods. Just be philosophical about it if you end up exploding out both ends for a day or two, and steer clear if you've got immune or digestive problems to begin with.

    Disclaimer: I am not a doctor, but I helped my mom out with a bunch of food safety classes back when she worked for the county extension office.

    now that bags of flour have a warning like "Flour is raw. Please fully cook before enjoying," I've just been picturing people eating handfuls of dry flour out of the bag like Homer Simpson.

    Hey Pin, to follow up when I mentioned the flour thing:

    You can set a risk level with eggs. You know what you're getting into: you can eat raw supermarket mass-produced eggs, with an expectation of perhaps 1 in 20,000 being contaminated. The contamination is going to be on the shell, so there's some expectation of cracking a contaminated egg without contaminating the actual egg. But eventually, given enough raw eggs consumed, you're going to spend a few days sitting and groaning on the pot.

    You can, as you have done, go with a better egg product. You pay a little more, and you get much better eggs, with a lower risk of contamination. Still some risk, but, to you (and I), an acceptable one.

    With flour, you can't do that. The wheat berries get harvested, lumped together, then the entire berry is milled, then sieved. All of this means that anything on the berry when it was harvested, like bird shit, just gets mixed into the entire finished product.

    And there's nothing you can do to lessen your odds of getting contaminated flour. Conceivably, a place might irradiate the finished flour and advertise it as safe for raw consumption, but no one is doing that, so you're just eating whatever dead bugs, bird shit, etc that made it into the grain mill along with the grain.

    In Roman times, the wheat berry was toasted, then the bran and germ removed. This would produce a safe-for-raw-consumption flour. Today, everything gets milled together, and the endosperm particles get sieved out, then further milled into flour. This is after the whole grain is soaked in water for ~24 hours, so any bacteria spores have a chance to activate.

    What this means is that when people get sick after eating raw cookie dough, which is rare (but happens often enough to be a thing), it's going to almost always be the case that they got sick from the raw flour, not the raw eggs.

    Nice.

    Also, holy shit. Does McDonald's reheat? I know their fries aren't worth a damn after five minutes, because I once had a very disappointing evening trying to make after-work chili cheese fries with them. And it was some fucking good homemade chili.

    I can't speak to McDonalds but Carl's Jr's spicy chicken sandwiches, ordered plain, will re-heat pretty well. I lived off those things for a while working swing on an industrial printing press. I also ate Nalley Chili straight out of the can back then, so yea, take my food recommendations with a grain of salt.

    Mcd's stuff does reheat but only very specific sammiches. Specifically the plain cheeseburger and hamburger reheat just fine. In fact, you can freeze the hamburgers/cheese burgers while still in their paper wrapper for later if you want then, simply take them out of the freezer and while still covered in the wrapper, flip them upside down and microwave them for a minute. It's basically the equivalent of white castle frozen burgers but if you're absolutely craving a simple cheeseburger or hamburger and don't want to go out, these will work in a pinch. Essentially any sammich that's only meat/cheese/mustard/ketechup/oninon/pickle should allow you to do this.

    I tried this, it worked, and I'd like to congratulate you on ruining me.
