Why do people pretend to like fucked up shit like chicken skin, shrimp with the tails still on it, or sardine bones?
My sister has been a total hipster twat ever since she left for college and it's like she doesn't even like normal white food anymore.

Nice, too bad I'm allergic to Honeydew :/
Frying some chicken tonight, my third time doing so. The plan is to dip in egg, flour, then breadcrumbs. Should I dip in egg first, then flour? Or vice versa? Should I do that twice over before breadcrumbs? Any other advice?
>>7870267
No breadcrumbs or eggs. Seasoned flour, then buttermilk, then flour again.
>go to serious eats
>type in "fried chicken"
>pick any of Kenji Lopez-alts techniques
He just put up a food lab on "southern fried chicken"
Adapt that for whatever you're doing.

I'll give you my tips for the best fried chicken. This has been passed down for generations, but you know, take it or leave it as you wish.
>marinate chicken overnight in either a mixture of buttermilk and seasonings OR salt water and seasonings (they both achieve pretty much the same thing, but the buttermilk adds a bit more tangy flavor)
>drain chicken and roll in seasoned flour (I use a mixture of flour, pepper, salt, paprika, granulated garlic, granulated onion, and cayenne, but your seasonings are up to you)
>let chicken sit in the fridge for 30 minutes, so the coating has time to attach to the chicken.
>roll chicken again in flour mixture
>fry in pure lard if you can, if not, peanut oil or rice bran oil. Those are the three best options for frying chicken. Unless you can accumulate enough bacon fat to fry the chicken, which makes delectable chicken, but that's a LOT of bacon fat.
>the fat should be at 350F, fry till golden on both sides, drain over a wire rack in the oven while you fry other pieces
>serve immediately for insanely crispy and juicy chicken, but it's also still great to take cold on picnic or other outdoor event.
Ask a guy who starts his first day at the Whole Foods Seafood department tomorrow anything
>>7870169
never bother to go into whole foods, do they sell whole fish?
>>7870171
Obviously baka, it's not called whole foods for nothing

How much is a pound of muscles? How often do you get them in?
Have you made hamburger-less hamburger helper?
And why is his camera so high up?

So he can get everything in one shot, and not worry about changing angles or editing.
Because of his incredible autism.

Hi /ck/! So, my girl has never had oyster stew, and I really want to introduce her to it. I looked up some recipes, and I wanted to know your opinion it. I will gladly take pics for OC, but it won't be today.

Never had it. If I had to take a swing at it it would end up very similar to clam chowder

Spot the virgin
Knife and knives
I have at least 2 blades for any application. And I feel it's not enough.
Do I need to get into expensive knives now?
Next cheapass cutlery I'm buying is a few long and wide adana skewers, because really: those little sticks I have aren't good for much. They fit in a pan is all they got going.
Looking to get a tamarind end grain block.
Considering a ceramic rod. Sounds snazzy. Any advantages over chrome steel?
>>7869587
I'm not sure I can help you out but maybe I can give you an idea. I'm considering buying pic related tomorrow ( taking advantage of Amazon Primedays if the item is on sale ) and I'd like to think those knives would be good enough for just messing around the home kitchen.
>>7870484
Wrong pic; that is what I intend to cook for my next meal- Not.
This is the pic I meant to share
>>7870487
ok so i like quality over quantity for knives; id suest ettin one nice one over tat set - watever size/sape cefs knife first, ten parin knife, ten cleaver 9not as nice as your oters, tis is a smaser0
in my opinion, a 2-3 piece set lie tat is more fun tan ops ella complete but not so nice set
main tin is sarpenin - rods n carbide tools for your coarser knives, stones/diamond for nicer jobs, ave bot
Got a new cast iron pan. The surface is very rough - Should I take some sandpaper to it to even out the worst?
>>7869448
Either treat it with intense heat and high smoke point oil or cook a lot of fatty foods in it as it is, like bacon, sausage, etc. Sandpaper is just going to wear on the coating.
>>7869448
You can if you want but it really doesn't matter.
>>7869456
What coating? It's fucking cast iron and hasn't been seasoned.
Is omurice only practical if you eat rice often enough to have it leftover for frying, or does it taste okay just plopping fresh rice inside an omelette?
>>7869295
You can always make fresh rice and then spread it out on a plate or other flat surface and let it dry a little, then proceed to use it in fried dishes.
>>7869295
Hey here's an idea you weeb. How about you cook like an adult and stop idolizing a culture which is blatantly at the bottom of the barrel in terms of cooking skill?
Maybe this way the concept of "shitty ketchup omelette on top of rice" won't be so baffling to you.
>>7869295
Anyone else make and use ghee?
Here's some I made from 1lbs of butter. Pics are all the same ghee under different light sources; the first being hot, the rest are room temp.
Isn't ghee just clarified butter that's been overcooked?
Doesn't seem like anything too impressive or otherwise special.
>>7869102
How do you make your ghee?
>>7869102
i do, i prefer it for higher heat applications because of the nice flavor.
made some recently and accidentally let it get a bit brown. it tastes good on pancakes though.
do you ever follow the directions to a T and still have the food turn out bad?
I cooked a veggie patty, 3 minutes on each side at medium heat just like the directions said. and it still turned out cold. had to throw it out, couldnt cook it some more because i already put mustard on it.
Veggie patty
2/10
Cold Veggie patty
0/10
>>7868991
Nope. Following directions exactly is silly. Different stoves have different heat outputs. Different pans heat up at different rates. Different people form their patties with different thicknesses. Trusting an exact time for cooking is stupid. Instead, pay attention to what's happening with the food and adjust your cooking time accordingly.
Same thing with ingredients: ingredients vary in flavor. Blindly throwing in the exact proportions a recipe calls for is silly. Instead, taste the food and adjust accordingly....
