So I'm making an onion sauce to go with some steak for dinner. I just tried it, and even after caramelization it tastes unbelievably bitter. What could I do to fix this? I have a relatively well-equipped kitchen with all the normal things one would expect. I can answer any further, more specific, questions as well.
throw it out and start again

Man, that's a really lumpy thick "sauce". What's in it besides onions?
What the hell did you do? Explain your process. If it's extremely bitter you will probably have to throw it out.
Unless you added something bitter to your sauce, the bitterness is likely from over caramelizing the onions

Alright I'm sick of this.
Every fucking time I make mashed potatoes I have lumps in them.
How do I make lump free mashed potatoes? Give me your recipe that you use.
What potatoes do you use? How long do you boil them for? How big do you cut the chunks? Do you heat up your milk? Do you use sour cream? Cream cheese? Do you melt your butter? Do you add cold butter? Any extras you add in? How hard do you have to mash them to get them to creamy?
I need the most autistic instructions for mashed potatoes you can give me. I'm tired of these fucking lumps.
>>7110640
You could mash them really hard but they will be gummy. You need a ricer.
Seriously though they're just lumps. Why does it bother you?
>>7110640
just cook them longer and smash them more viorously
Be less autistic and learn to accept food that isn't pre-digested.
whats your favorite lazy meal? just sauteed some bokchoy onion and mushroom and ate over rice, was gord

Food that literally gives you cancer
>>7110523
The WHO wrote that processed meats might give you cancer. There's a difference between might and will. Literally the same thing as saying that wearing clothes might give you cancer.

>you will never know her real name
>>7110435
Shes in her 60s so theres 99% chance her name is something like ニャムニャム子
Chun-Li?
It's probably something like Aiko, Aoko, Masako, Akiko etc. Basically X-child where X is something positive.
My very dead, much older aunt was born in 1937. She and nearly all her Nip friends had -ko names. Seems very common for women in their 60s and 70s to have such names.
Better than a lot of the glitter names parents give their kids now.
So, times are tough right now and I'm going to have to cut down on how much food I buy. Its just me and my dog in this place and I wanna know if anyone here has experience eating dog food. Is there any type that tastes decent/good that humans can eat and digest? If we share the dogfood for the rest of the year I should be ok. Anyone have recommendations?
>>7110400
Jesus christ anon just go to a food bank
>>7110420
Do they give out dogfood at food banks?

I read a few years back that you could use bananas as a substitute for eggs. Is this true /ck/?
Yes. 1 medium banana = 2 whole eggs
Depends on what the eggs are meant to do in a given recipe. For most applications, no: they are not a good substitute at all. Nor is apple sauce.

This is true for Brazilian recipes

>there are people using up perfectly good oxygen RIGHT NOW who get triggered by Starbucks because it makes them feel culturally inadequate
How does it feel to have an actual inferiority complex about those cool, pretentious, infuriatingly elite privileged aristocrats who drink burned fast food chain coffee mixed with shit-tier antibiotic hormone skim milk?
Reflect upon your life and despair, /ck/.
Elitists go to local coffee places and roasters
You must be from one of those flyover lands

I agreed to bring the mashed potatoes to Thanksgiving this year, and because of the amount of people, I want to double the recipe. Easy enough right? However, there's been a schedule change, and I won't be able to boil the potatoes normally before heading to the family gathering. To save on time, I'm planning on prepping the potatoes in my slow cooker while I'm out and about and doing the actual mashing and mixing right before I leave.
While I have done mashed potatoes in a slow cooker before, I'm not super familiar with them. Since I'm doing...
Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
But Anon: you're also being vague and unhelpful.
Saying
>hurr durr ah needz dubble portables!
doesn't help anyone figure out anything for you if you're unable to tell us what that amount might actually be, dickface.
>>7110171
After the water reaches the desired temp, it wont take THAT much longer. Definitely not double time.
Never done them in a slow cooker, but I would imagine that they are going to have a lot of time to absorb excess water. I'd suggest putting them on a pan in a the oven for a few minutes to let some of the excess water steam out of the potatoes. Watery potatoes = watery mashed potatoes.
What just boil them in a pot like usual in the usual time are you kidding me.
What do you cu/ck/s add to this fucking shit to make it bearable? I don't use the packets of chicken flavor powder, they're beyond disgusting.
>>7110150
Sriracha and bacon.
Also check the sticky...
oh wait

Not even the weebest of weebs do this

Seriously would be something for a sticky in the future though.

I don't do it because I like it and I don't do it to seem Asian or whatever. Just poor and not very good at making food. I've made this shit with long green onions, carrots, eggs and cheese before though and that was pretty decent.
Gonna try cooking quiche, any french friends that can help by sharing their recipes and/or tips?
I'm not too sure what's best or what variants exist.
That's a breakfast pizza.

>any french friends that can help
muslims don't eat quiche.
Just make a pie crust, make sure to pre-bake it. Then you can basically add whatever you want. Milk, cheese, season it well. Also cook all of your fillings, like mushrooms, before so you don't end up with watery quiche.
