I was always taught to fry chopped onions and only after that was done, put in the minced meat. Why does that make any sense? You just risk burning the onions like that.
I started doing it the other way around (meat first, then onions/garlic) after I moved for myself.
Is one better than the other, and why?
Onions take up the flavors of the spices in the oil, and if you want to caramelize them you need the direct heat. It's impossible to burn them this way unless you burn everything else as well because once you put the meat in the heat becomes more broadly distributed.
Burnt onions are delicious anyway.
I personally prefer to brown and render out the fat from the beef, remove it, then do the aromatics in the remaining fat.

Onions won't caramelize if you add them to the meat instead of cooking them first. If you cook the meat first, and add the onions after, you're not really sauteing them, you're steaming them till soft. It doesn't create optimum flavor. Unless you are impatient and are cooking your onions on high heat, they won't burn.
That said, garlic is a very different story. Garlic is easy to burn, which creates a bitter flavor.
So, cook your onions first, until they caramelize, then add the meat and garlic, and cook till the meat has browned.

Anyone here good with mixing drinks? I have a bottle of triple sec and no clue what to do with it. also alcohol general?

What other alcohol/mixers do you have? Triple sec is not generally a main ingredient in a cocktail. I'm not a cocktail nerd, but margaritas, side cars, and mai tais all use triple sec.

Does /ck/ like orange soda?
I do I do I do-ooooooo
>>7357455
>liquid calories besides oil
lol....
>>7357476
Ok? I respect your opinion, but you don't need to mock and act so condesending torwards those who do like orange soda.
But each to his own, I suppose. I believe that if you can burn those calories, and drink orange soda without excess, then it is very possible to be healthy, and happy in this life.
I suggest instead of restricting yourself, perhaps eat rather "unhealthy" things in moderation, and burn it off, for later.
Makes the quality if food and life a whole let better in general. But that's just my two cents. Hope you take what I said into consideration!
holy shit guys i didn't know cooking with eggs was so hard beyond scrambled eggs
i just tried making eggs in a basket and that shit burned
whats the secret to making eggs like that?
if i want to move it's either get them burned or fuck the whole thing up
>>7357431
Stop using temp settings above five, especially with cast iron. Those are for when you need to boil or sear stuff, not properly cook. Also make sure the pan was oiled or buttered, can't burn something that's wet.
>>7357437
alright

They're cool sometimes but Kenji's chili recipe was the spergiest shit I've ever seen and a lot of his advice amounts to
1. Brown things before adding them to the rest of the dish
2. Give it a squirt of fish sauce
His mcdonalds french fry recreation was dumb too. Why the FUCK would someone go through all that instead of just go to mcdonalds.

Trips confirms.
What knives and cutlery do you guys keep around your home and/or work? Is there one particular brand you like or dislike more than the others? I'm not very knowledgeable about kitchen cutlery and don't own any outside of some walmart-brand silverware but I'm considering buying my first real "block."

Gonna bump my own thread here with a question: How good is Chicago Cutlery? I've never owned Buck cutlery ( I know their other knives are pretty good ) and I just saw how much more expensive the 13 pc set is compared to the 16 pc set in related image. Buck's is between 400-700 ( depending on the knife handles ) while the Chicago Cutlery is $99.

>Is there one particular brand you like or [dislike] more than others?
Hearing people boast about their Shun knives grinds my gears. Acting as if it's all the rage, which I mean; it is. But for no good reason other than having uses in both home kitchens, as well as industrial kitchens.
It's not like I hate the brand; with it's VG-10 it should be pretty decent at what it's meant to do, that being to be able to have a maintainable edge, but still foldable so that you can put a keen angle on it,but when people glorify it as if it's the best there is, that's where I draw lines.
>>7357328
I'm not very trendy either. I don't want to buy my first block of knives simply because they are "all the rage."
I don't know who makes good kitchen knives though. I know Buck makes fantastic knives for outdoor use but have no clue how their kitchen ones go and the reviews I've been reading about Chicago Cutlery make me shy away from their brand. If these Shun knives are simply popular for the sake of being popular they would be a brand I'd want to avoid too.
Should I get the Quesalupa at Taco Bell?

Yes. Too good to miss, it'll be worth the stomach trouble.
