Reminder :
-Please timestamp your submission! Detailing the cooking process/posting a vertical is encouraged but not required. If posting multiple photos, you don't need to timestamp each one, as long as the final submission photo is timestamped.
-You MUST use a unique identifier; if you don't want to use a tripcode, you must have some other way to distinguish yourself from the other contestants, such as a cute bird or scary statue in your timestamped entry, as long as it's clearly visible and you use it consistently.
Voting will be carried out in this thread. Please read the voting guidelines below.
VOTING GUIDELINES
Voting follows an 'Iron Chef' style scoring system. This means you, the people of /ck/, will judge each entry individually instead of deciding on what you feel is the "best" dish.
Dishes are scored out of a total 20 points, based on 4 categories (worth a maximum of 5 points each); Presentation, Originality, Appeal and Challenge Goals. You may award 0's if you feel the contestant did not meet your expectations for a category.
-Presentation: The appearance of items on the plate; plating skills
-Originality: Creativity in composing the dish
-Appeal: How appetizing the food looks/whether or not the dish appeals to your personal taste as a voter
-Challenge Goals: How closely the entry followed the challenge goal(s)
The distinction between Presentation and Appeal: If someone submits an artfully arranged but burnt steak as an entry, it may score high in Presentation but low in Appeal.
For additional info and to see submissions from Previous years, check out the Challenge blog. (http://ckchallenge.blogspot.ca/)

The theme of Round Five is...
Fire!
Things cooked in or on fire, flambed, bathed in flames... I don't care. Let's burn something and make it delicious. While you're perfectly welcome to make a large spread of food, please make sure there is clearly a "main dish" because that is what people will be voting on.
Two contestants will not be moving on to the next round.
And scores.
Congratulations to CookingRei for the Victory! Please get in touch with me for your prize :)

a bit offtopic: Heartsonfire is your friend? The one that shares cooking ebook links 2009-2010 if i remember?
Oh boy this gon be gud!
Also, what will happen with the people that dropped out without timestamps? How do the eliminations work in regards to that?
Now with new Position indicators
>>7545980
Oh awesome!!! Thanks Bubble and the voters! We finished off the last of the 12 cookies last night (addicting little suckers)
Fire will be interesting.... going to have to think about this one for a while.....
>>7545975
>fire
My folks aren't going to like this one. Fuck em though, I'll make something while they're not home.
Can we wrap shit in foil, or will purists say that the food wasn't actually on fire?
>>7546251
If the last round taught us anything it's that purists are going to be purists.
>>7546261
*purists are going to be puritanical
>>7545967
Interesting thread.
I've been absent going on 5 years now, so it's neat to see what's been done with the place.
Definitely going to have to check out that blogspot.
Oh, and did someone say Heartsonfire is still around?
Nice, someone was asking about them on the other /ck/ a couple days ago.
>>7546251
I have mixed feelings about using foil... You're using fire, but you could have used an oven just as well...
Tangentially related: for anyone with Netflix, or for anyone who knows how to acquire shows otherwise, I'd highly recommend the recently released documentary, "Cooked".
The first episode is all about cooking with fire.
>>7546611
I heard about that documentary a few weeks ago and have been wanting to check it out. Might just be the right time.
time to rev up that barby and give your meat a good ol' rub hehe boii
Yellow got through with his pile of shit served in a dog bowl?
>/ck/ standards
>>7548052
2 people dropped out, so all of the contestants that posted dishes last round made it.
>>7548058
Oh, that would explain it.
>>7548052
Yes, even with your multiple troll votes.
Who're you planning on harassing this round?
>>7548126
>spewing shit at random anon's
Okay, faggot
>>7548126
nice try yellowmug, there's no such thing as a 'troll vote' when your dish deserved 1's at best.
>>7548160
I'm waiting with baited breath on his next dish. They've slowly been getting more and more insane. I don't think he's far off the guy who put the unpopped kernels in an iphone box.
>>7548395
inb4 he roasts his dog over a fire
>>7546611
Second recommendation, Netflix series chefs table, the episode that follows Francis Mallmann is God tier fire cookery. Also just a God tier hour of tv in general.
Okay, voters: are we going to roast (heh) contestants whose only element of fire is cooking on a gas range?
>>7548797

im going to have to buy some matches and flambe somethiing its the only way
>>7549429

I'm going to have to improvise some fire myself, but am far more concerned about this alleged Indian round.
I recently moved to an area with a sparse Indian population, have a small spice rack, and don't really want to buy a bunch of overpriced spices from the regular grocery store that I don't use often enough to warrant the cost.
>>7549458
are you guys retarded there is no indian round, that was fake bubbles, bubbles isnt going to give you a hint of what the next round is grow a fucking brain
>>7549429
Get one of these ;)
anyone who doesnt build a real fire with wood will be getting very low scores this round, and yes im a contestant
>>7549429
I'm in the same boat. Everything's electric. Got a little grill in the mail today..... an electric grill.
Gonna have to raid my liquor cabinet for this round...
>>7549556
Why the fuck? Flambeing is a great idea and doesn't use wood flames.
>>7549559
good luck
>>7549562
It's LITERALLY in the challenge description
>Things cooked in or on fire, flambed, bathed in flames...
Giving low challenge scores for anything flambed would be idiotic.
>>7549573
well then someone should revoke my power to judge I guess
alright to be honest i dont actually judge anyways i was kidding, but pro tip the first guy to submit a flambed thing will get all the ooohs and ahhs and then there will be 5 more flambed dishes and they will get stale very quick, and since apparently you fucks lack the creativity to do anyything other than cook a dish and pour liquor over it and light it on fire for this challenge i suggest you people get a bit more creative, i wont be judging but if you think there arent gonna be some harsh troll judging then LOL...
>>7549609
For the record, I'm not flambeeing anything. I'll be using a good old fire.
It's ridiculous to punish people for doing something that satisfies word for word the challenge requirements. Might as well change your statement to
>you fucks lack the creativity to do anyything other than cook a dish with fire for this challenge i suggest you people get a bit more creative
>>7549616
like i was saying, that was a bit of light hearted trolling, i dont actually vote, but if more than half the dishes are flambeed id expect them to be judged harshly
personally im going to do something weird for mine like light a chair on fire and cook ice cream over it or something
>>7549639
fair enough, If everyone is doing something flambé, then yeah, take points off for originality, just not challenge goals.
>>7549609
If flambeing is good enough for Michelin Star restaurants, it's good enough for a fucking casual 4chan cooking competition.
Who the fuck do you think you are, Marco Fucking Pierre White? Get your head out of your ass.
>>7549750
um i dont vote because i know i have no credentials, i was actually just giving a warning because some of these judges think they are judging a mich star dishes and if every dish in the restaurant is doused in alcohol and lit on fire it gets cheesy as fuck in no time, do whatever the fuck you want i couldnt give less of a shit, I see why they are trolling this thread so hard now tho, you people get assblasted easy as fuck, imma stop replying now just do your shit, if you do this flambeed shit id do it quick tho and try to be first lol

>>7549824
are you trying to shun me as you help destroy the thread you claim to love so much?
do yoyu think participating in this convo isn't considered shitposting still?
you are everything wrong with this board stop breathing immediately
>>7549821
At the #8 place.
It's usually slow as hell over there, though.
I'm excited for this round, not so much for the theme, but because I have an amazing dish in mind that makes me hungry just thinking about it. Fire will still be the main cooking method but the dish itself will be the star. Fuck I can't wait to go shopping tomorrow.
"Sorry guys, but if you even think about flambeing your dishes, I'm going to give you a big fat zero for both originality and challenge goals. It's my privilege as a voter to interpret the round as I like and to the requirements of what I perceive the challenge rules to be and there is nothing you can do about it.
Be more fucking creative. Ever heard of BBQs, subterranean kilns, spitroasts, bonfires...? Even one participant this year already has used a flamethrower in an earlier challenge to toast a big pan of sweetcorn, which definitely didn't come out looking awful. I don't want to hear any goddamn excuses."
>>7550918
who are you quoting?
Alright then, let me start us off this round with my version of the Crêpe Suzette, aka flambéed crepes in a sugary orange sauce, finished off with a blazing orange liqueur.
As I'm leaving on a trip tomorrow, I did not have the time to make a proper vertical so below I'll just post a picture of the ingredients and the flambé part.
Flambé might not be the most original idea for this round, but I was short on time, and it's not likely I'll be able to light up a barbecue/bonfire in student housing, in the middle of a city any time soon.
They actually came out tasting really good, just the right balance of sweet and bitter.
>>7552348
And apologies for again not leaving out shit wall. Maybe I'll use it as my identifier next year..
>>7552348
Did you do anything with the rind garnish, or is it just julienned and served as is?
>>7552348
Looks great!
I was thinking about doing a flambéed dessert for this as I too am a student without a bbq or anything. But I have never done it before so I am terrified to burn my house down.

It looks well made, but doing another dessert after a dessert round wasn't a good choice. Doing something flambéed definitely counts for challenge goals, but Crêpe Suzette is probably the least original thing you could have done. The presentation with the orange rind could be improved.

i'm scoring higher on originality since really you were the first one to do flambe even if others do after you, and I think grilling meat would be the most obvious choice, not a crepe dessert.
as for appeal, I like crepes, I like oranges, they look like they've been cooked well - it's a no-brainer.
5/5 for challenge goals because you used fire, that's the only stipulation and you did it.

This is probably the first dish I thought of when I saw the theme of the round so I've scored low on originality. The crepes don't look browned properly (perhaps the inside of the crepes looked better?), the orange is poorly zested, and there's too much sauce.
>>7552348
This used to be my dad's go-to special dessert when he was having dinner parties.... thank you for the nostalgia.
>>7552348
I see that you opted to make même suzette. Overall it looks decent. But as I lie here looking at your dish, I find myself questioning whether you have what it takes. A good chef should be dedicated. Letting a lack of time and resources effect your dish doesn't bode well for me.

I feel i've been rather generous with my scoring. However it took some balls to be the first to submit. I see many of you sat here, tentatively pondering whether to hit that upload button, but scared to in case your dish doesn't go down well. Over the course of the competition we've had several dishes that haven't gone down well one bit. I remember one person took a shit in his poor dogs bowl and submitted that. Yet on the other hand, Rei came through with the goods. So there's good and bad here. We'll see what happens this round. Good luck, fellow contestants.
Here we go, mates. The flambé floodgates have opened.
My entry: Cherry Chicken Flambé served with flambéd plantain, steamed rice and sugarsnap peas. I love making plantain as it's like a savoury banana that offsets the sweetness of the cherry sauce in the dish quite nicely.
I really wish I could have done something with a barbeque or an outdoor firepit but didn't have anything more theatrical at my disposal.
This is the first time I have ever flambéd anything, so go me! Infographic to follow (and proof that I set fire to stuff!)

I think you did a good job on the presentation with what you had to work with, but separating everything like that only highlights how boring the peas and rice are. It's pretty basic, but I like how it feels like a twist on bananas fosters using plantains. Next time maybe don't mention that you used canned cherries.

I like the ideas behind this dish and the way you flambéed the plantain. I'm not so certain on the peas or the rice as I don't feel they really match with the chicken and plantains. The separation of the three parts is visually displeasing as well.
Also, I think it was right to say you used canned cherries. It seems integral to the dish.

This honestly looks like something you would get at Taco Bell. Not everything needs to be lit on fire you fucking donut and I don't know who told you to mix hastily-smoked pork shoulder (that I will assume you didn't even season) with a three cheese blend. I'm not even going to mention the toilet.
Grilled pizza, with flame broiled tomato and garlic sauce, rum flambéed caramelized onions, twice smoked gouda/cheddar cheese blend, roasted jalapeno Fire™ sauce, cherry wood pulled pork, charred scallions à la Masaokis, finished with blowtorched Parmesan-Reggiano.
Everything is homemade, and everything came in contact with fire in one way or another.

Eyepatch here. This is my failed attempt. I tried to cook some chicken and bacon wrapped corn over a fire in my tiny grill, but i live in a wet climate, and the wood I used was way too damp. It ended up smoking way too much and made the chicken turn a weird color. The corn was barely cooking as well. I guess I'm going to try flambeeing something tomorrow even though I've never done it before and everyone else has already done it. It's really the only practical thing I can do unfortunately.

You definitely went all out with the fire. I like the sound of a lot of the things here but I just wonder if it's too much when all put together. For instance, why the jalapeno sauce rather than adding spice to your tomato garlic sauce? Why the parmesan when you already have smoked cheese? Why the scallions when you already have caramelised onions? This all said, the ingredients are all intriguing.
In terms of presentation, I think you could have improved it with simply a round pizza base. Your lighting is also quite yellow which I think is drowning out the colours but there's probably not much you can do about that.

Trying something new and fucking up is what it's all about, and how everyone learns.
Flambeeing is as easy as it looks and is perfectly fine, as long as you don't set your kitchen on fire.
>>7558336
use charcoal, brine the corn, wrap meat in aluminum or use less heat. other than those things it sounded great. you have time go again.
>>7558356
I don't think charcoal or aluminum meet the challenge requirements, but I'll look into brineing the corn and maybe give that another shot tomorrow. I don't have time before work to do it today. Weather is supposed to be shittier tomorrow too, but oh well. I might flambee a main dish and serve the corn on the side, even though I think the corn won't really go with what I have in mind.

The food is way too close to the heat source.
Even though the theme is "fire", you should be cooking with coals not flame.
That's why you are getting soot on the chicken.
Try coals (not fire) on one half of the bottom of the hibachi, then cook the food on the grill out of direct contact with the heat source.
What type of wood was that?

The steak looks perfect, but the presentation could be cleaner. A little brightly colored vegetation, even just a garnish, would go a long way.
Grilled salmon with a compound butter of parsley, basil, tarragon and lemon.
Fire roasted corn & red jalapeno herb chutney of coriander, parsley, cilantro and lime.
Roasted fingerling potatoes with a garlic butter aioli and chive garnish.
The compound butter was melted ala flambe of Grand Marnier to accentuate a citrus flavor parallel with the lemon in the compound.
The vertical may or may not come due to time constraints, but I threw together a few shots of the process in a "simple" vertical to follow below.
>>7558939
Here's my submission:
Grilled pork with rosemary and garlic, summer salad and grilled vegetables.
The pork was first brined overnight for extra taste and juiciness. Then, I heavily studded it with rosemary stalks and garlic cloves, seasoned it and spread some thyme and lemon flavored oil on top. I then proceeded to grill it until I got a nice char on the exterior.
The vegetables are a simple mix of peppers and onions grilled with a bit of oregano.
Finally, the salad was quickly thrown together with spinach, feta, pine nuts, prosciutto and some balsamic vinegar.
I think it turned out nicely, the skin was real crispy and the meat was flavored with the garlic and rosemary, tasted great!

Looks great as always nack. The salmon makes my mouth water and the plating is top notch. Great colors.
Constructive criticism:
>as good as the compound butter looks in the vertical, it sort of looks like a giant mold spot in the final image.
>the homemade aioli looks like it was squirted out of a kewpie bottle; i'd go for smaller streaks
>your chutney is the biggest portion, and should probably have been called something like an "herbed succotash" instead
>everything seems to be sitting in a pool of oil
>>7558985
All valid criticism. Probably dipped too far into the pino when I made this, topped the bottle off haha. Good as everything tasted plating has been my strongest hindrance so far in this years challenge. Gotta buckle down in the rounds to follow. Appreciate it.
Every plate on /ck/'s Sunday
Every plate is grilled or flambée
Love you'll
Sorry for another flambeed entry, but all i have in my 2nd story apartment is electric, and they only allow electric grills. So.....yeah. I just wanted to make something tasty that would be great for Sunday drinking.
Fiery Tequila Shrimp Nachos with a flaming tequila shot on the side. The fire component is the flambeed shrimp, and and I thought a toasty shot would complement the dish (which it did!)
On the nachos are homemade con queso dip and salsa....probably shoulda mentioned that.....
>>7549651
Why would I not take it off for challenge goals. Surely creativity comes into account while interpreting challenge goals.
The way you people want me to judge is 0/5 or 5/5, but sorry that's not going to be the case.
Originality pertains to the originality of the actual dish, and has nothing to do with the challenge theme.
For example, you could could do the most outrageous flame cooking techniques to make your dish, but if in the end it's just steak and potatoes, that's a 1/5 for originality and a 5/5 for Challenge goals

The "of this" and "of that" is pretty tired.
>[the butter] was melted ala flambe of Grand Marnier to accentuate a citrus flavor parallel
No it wasn't.
Butter doesn't "flambe" so there is no "a la" , and flambe doesn't "accentuate" "citrus flavor parallels". You are full of shit. Your mouth is shit and your mouth words are shit. You are full of shit.
>>7560595

>Butter doesn't "flambe" so there is no "a la"
But gran mariner clearly does.
>and flambe doesn't "accentuate" "citrus flavor parallels"
Again, the Gran mariner does. It tastes like orange, which is a citrus. Thus it would accentuate the flavor of the lemon used.
I do, however, agree with you that >>7558939 needs to work on his wording through.
>>7560595
>getting this mad at someone describing what's in their food

>>7560708
It's *how* the food was described that is triggering people. It's just plain bad grammar. Abysmally bad.
>>7560695
>But gran mariner clearly does.
so what does the 'ala' mean? the butter was used to mount the flambeed gran marnier? the butter and gran marnier were flambeed together (obviously unlikely)? to say the butter was melted 'ala' i.e: 'in the manner of' flambe of gran marnier is just a really fucking pretentious and inaccurate way of saying 'with', 'by' or 'into'.
>Again, the Gran mariner does. It tastes like orange, which is a citrus. Thus it would accentuate the flavor of the lemon used.
yes, it would accentuate the flavour of the lemon. that's not what he said though. he said it 'accentuates citrus flavour parallels'. it's cryptic, incoherent and confusing. only at the 'with the lemon' part does it start to make any sense. it seems to me that adding it would PROVIDE a parallel (you might even call it an 'accent') of citrus flavour, but it wouldn't 'accentuate' a parallel that wasn't there in the first place.
>>7560725
>this is a cooking board not a grammar nazi camp
Yep. We normally don't complain about things like that here. Which should make it apparent just how bad that post was in order for it to draw ire like it did.

Cutting with the grain makes for tougher meat. When you cut across the grain, you cut fibers and therefore make it more tender.
>>7561682

>the whole point of this is to try new shit and get better at cooking
This.
It's about creating OC around a common theme and having fun cooking/critiquing.
Was it a good idea to eat 2/3 of the steak and then shape it into a penis? Probably not, but it's still better than not submitting anything.

You are a stupid person. You don't cook over direct fire, whether it's wood OR charcoal. You cook over the coals. Both wood AND charcoal catch on FIRE and will produce FLAME.
This is why I dropped out: idiot voters who don't know shit about food or cooking. Hilarious to watch the shit show, though.

thanks! the 1/2 and 1/2 is a good idea, probably more presentable.
I thought putting the shot on fire would be nice presentation for the challenge, although i did feel bad making a flaming shooter of extra anejo tequilla. I figured i generally water it down with water, and burning off some of the alcohol would give the same effect and the heat would enhance the flavor....it kinda worked...idk tequila generally isnt my thing...
and i think the lime looks big because its the closest object to the camera...but i'm no scientist....
>>7562292
>probably more presentable
The presentation is great, but in practical terms I personally don't like my nacho toppings that uniform (especially hot cheese, cold salsa, hot shrimp).
I would devour that plate, and am really just nitpicking/thinking about how I would have done it.

There have been a few, "how to make queso dip I can eat at room temperature" threads recently, and I've always responded by telling them to look into molecular gastronomy.
Queso is easy. Just saute your peppers and spices, add some bechamel (or liason of choice), and throw in shredded cheese while continuously stirring until it's melty and delicious. The same technique can be used to make any variation of mac and cheese, just tossing it with cooked pasta at the end.

sorry i forgot to paste in that comment (I think the burning toilet paper goes too far and is strange)
>>7563207
>I think the burning toilet paper goes too far and is strange
Fair enough, but it's still a bit silly to take off challenge goal points for an entry that did what you think is too much with the challenge goals, and did more than any other entry.
Masaokis was the champion of /ck/ years before joey or jack. See >>7556833 if you're not familiar with him.
Bubbles, if you seriously count all the samefag 20/20's given to himself by yellowmug (someone feel free to explain how that presentation was anything even subjectively over a 2-3) then your competition loses all validity and the person who loses their place because Yellow knows there's so many betas ready to scream 'TROLLS' as soon as someone questions his stupid samefag ratings, then that person should sue you for the cost of all the money spent on ingredients in every round so far.
>>7563265
>>7563265
I feel like there is always a high score or two submitted out of place by the poster of the dish in every round (EVERY ROUND).... we need a way to get around this... It's so simple to post a dish, and then hours later post a high score as 'anon'
>>7563284
every rating needs a picture and timestamp of their kitchen as well as the dish submissions. It's the only way.
>>7563284
Yeah, but what's far more annoying than that is as soon as someone dares to point it out people immediately jump in screaming IGNORE THE TROLLS! Yellowmugs 19's and 20's should he disregarded.
>>7563258
