I do when the vegetables are halfway decent at my local smalltown market

Not worth it in an apartment
Anyways, what are the best store-bought hot salsas you've had?
I want something that's gonna make me breath heavy and my nose runny, not something that just physically hurts.
>Clint's is okay when I'm feeling it
>Mrs. Renfro's is shit tier
>Jardines is also alright
>Get out of here with that Newman's Own shit.
>Tostitos doesn't make hot salsa that I know of
>Pain is Good doesn't even taste hot to me, it just goes to an immediate burn
Only good Ghost Chili salsa I've had is from a city a few hours away, I never have any other reason to travel there. Anyone have any recommendations?
>>7543322
Just put a drop of dave's insanity in your tostitos.
Who the hell actually buys salsa if they're not serving it at a party anyway?
>>7543334
People with taste.
I get Old Dutch most of the time. It tastes like home.
Que Pasa Chipotle has a really nice flavour (I love subtle chipotle flavours, like in mayonnaise and sauces) but it was a little hot for me.
Whats up /ck/
I'm a struggling college student that isn't going to get paid until the weekend and I've only got around $10 to my name. There's not to much around me that isn't expensive (there's an iHop, but that's kinda costy) and I don't have a car at the moment.
Does anyone know any coupon codes or w/e that I can use to significantly reduce the price of something I can get delivered like pizza? Any thing helps.
Go get a big bag of rice and some veggies
Buy a bunch of frozen dumplings senpai. You can get s box of 20 for like $3
>>7543304
Where could I get those? There's not a walmart or target in walking distance
Is the stew real? And what are the right combination of spices?
>Prawns
Do Americans even know what this word means?
Do you know what a prawn is? You do? Good for you, Im American and I know what a prawn is. It's nice being a douche now ain't it?
It's like a type of shrimp isn't it?
>>7543170
You mean shrimp?

Well, that's not a very flattering screenshot. lol
I already hate this new "so random" intro. The last one was classy as hell, why change it.
Not a fan of the music either. Or the super bright lipgloss in every single video.
Other than that, largely unchanged format. Pretty interesting recipes I guess. The birthday cake looks really tasty.
The book shilling and "comment like subscribe" is also a little obnoxious.
Rate my eggs /ck/
>>7542925
Why did you put the salt on after?
>>7542930
You're supposed to. Salting it early denatures the protein and causes a rubbery texture, similar to being overcooked. Do you even watch Ramsay?
But then you just overcooked them anyway.
Is green tea all it's cracked up to be? Just ordered a bunch of different kinds, some from china some from japan. Is it noticeably different in taste to regular tea?
its a decent tea
Don't boil the water, get it just before boiling, about 180-190 degrees. Boiled water ruins green tea. Also, honey works for sweeting. Don't add milk/cream. It's a subtle, nice tea.
>>7542755
It's good, but I prefer Earl Grey.
Green tea is significantly different in taste from black tea. Has a kind of herby, fresh flavor to it that's different. Lot less tannin too.
Can you suggest any meals that I can make with mostly dry-keep ingredients?
I unfortunately can't really use the refrigerator because things will get stolen and eaten and there isn't really anything I can do about it. I've been having to hide things in my room, or buy things and eat them ASAP. I've been trying to save money on food but with these stipulations it's proving very difficult.
inb4 "move out", I financially can't at this time, so I'm just stuck in a shitty situation. I wish I could get foodstamps to help,...
Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
cashew curry with water, beef jerky, boil in bag brown rice, curry powder, powdered milk and lastly you'll need pepper jack cheese but it should keep for a few days at least unrefrigerated as long as its in a cool environment.
>>7542650
oh and cashews

Gracias anon. I've been looking into different brands of ramen noodles & rice meals, but eating what amounts to schoolkid lunches can be downright depressing
I want to eat bacon but the last time I made some there was like a litre of grease at the end and it was overall fucking messy.
What kind should I buy/stay away from?
How should I cook it?
What can I do with the cooking grease/remains?
Cook it in the oven on a tray on tinfoil way less messy, buy thick cut stay away meme cut
Preheat oven to appropriate temperature for your thickness of bacon
Line baking sheet with heavy duty aluminum foil
Fold up edges in such a way that the foil will capture all the grease
Put bacon on foiled pan, cook until done to your preference
Pull out bacon and drain on paper towels
Eat bacon
Return to kitchen after grease has cooled and roll up aluminum foil
Throw that shit away
Alternatively, you can pour out the grease into a vessel for future use if you have the inclination to do so
>>7542612
Bacon is a fucking mess, you have to just deal with it.
Like the other anons said, thick cut in the oven.
Use that beautiful bacon grease to make fried eggs.
Best breakfast

Why do people shit on bottled water?
My tap water legitimately makes me feel sick after drinking it, aren't medical bill more expensive than 3 bucks for 24 bottles?
ok first of all, where do you live that your tap is making you nauseous? you sure you're not just psyching yourself out?
either way, buy a filter if you're so damn worried. cheaper in the long run.

get tested for alligator piss perhaps
anyone got a good bean and cheese burrito recipe?
>heat up flour tortilla
>grate on cheese
>add some hot refried beans
>roll into a burrito
>heat the whole thing up by whatever method by want
>>7542357
ty, I just wanted to make sure it was that simple kek
forgot the part where you have to slow roast the beans and dessicate the tortilla
can see it better after baking
>circumcised penis pie
not even once
yep, im on 4chan alright
Okay, so I live off of instant noodles. Dirt cheap and just throw it in the microwave and you can survive. That's all I need really.
But genetic blood pressure problems are popping up in me, so I need to cut waaaay back on sodium.
What is super cheap with little or no preparation and is at the very least tasteless (if not tasty) and won't kill me? I need to be able to buy in it bulk and have it not go bad for at least two months.
sidenote: if it requires so much as boiling water i cant do it
>>7542151
but you boil water for instant noodles.
>>7542178
the microwave does that i think. can i use that to boil other things?
>>7542151
beans and rice. you can buy the beans canned and get a simple rice cooker if you really want it easy.
also: canned tuna, sardines, other brands/types of instant noodles that have less sodium.
How do I make this? It looks so delicious.
That's Japanese yakisoba. It's not that great, but try it
Also what are those pink bits? cauliflower?
>>7542092
Yes, cauliflower.
How come /ck/ doesn't have a sticky? I'm a complete newbie to the board and to cooking and I hate creating "where do I start" threads but fuck... No sticky.
How do I learn to cook? What kitchen tools are essential? What skills are essential? What dishes are essential?
What are the best books/websites/YouTube channels for learning to cook in general, and getting good recipes? Does organic/GMO make a difference or is it marketing bullshit? Obviously Google exists but there is SO MUCH SHIT that I'd at least like a direction to look in.
thanks /ck/
Because nothing in cooking is universal. Methods, ingredients, traditions, tastes, all vary significantly from region to region.
You learn to cook by cooking.
Essential tools, skills, and dishes, obviously vary by region.
>>7541918
Makes complete sense but I guess I'm asking for what the individual users of /ck/ would reccomend. Places to start, best resources, etc etc

/ck/, school me on cutting boards. right now i just have shitty plastic cutting boards and i want to buy myself a decent one, particularly with a little ridge to catch the juices if you're cutting up a roast or something. what materials/brands should i look at? what kind of maintenance do they require? i don't want some stupidly expensive meme cutting board, just something that works well and is durable.
I think you should just look to buy a nice standard rectangular cutting board. I have one of those cutting boards with the plastic sheets for each meat type/bread/veg/fruit and its actually fucking terrible. I'd rather just clean and sanitize it each time than deal with those gimmicks. Just keep it standard imo.
>>7541718
>i don't want some stupidly expensive meme cutting board,
Unfortunately for you, the best bang for the buck is an ugly ass hard rubber board from a restaurant supply store
Performance wise, the only way to improve on this is end grain, and decent quality end grain boards are "stupidly expensive meme cutting boards"
>>7541718
Just buy a cheap bamboo cutting board like pictured. You can get them from under 5 bucks.
Plastic is for professional kitchens where they have to obey anal regulations (also more easily color coded).
End grain hardwood is to make a complete set with your carbon steel rust fast knives and tinned copper pans.
