How does the Calphalon dutch oven compare with the heavier, enamel-lined ceramic dutch ovens?
I have found a good deal on the Calphalon, but I believe that the nonstick surface will eventually wear off and necessitate discarding the piece, even if you religiously observe all best practices for nonsticks. Can anyone with experience confirm this? Do you get a few good years of regular usage out of it, before the lining degrades and food sticks to the ceramic underlayer?
I figure that the enamel-lined ceramic dutch ovens, being a lot heavier, would retain and more...

Unless you're putting together your wedding registry, asking for bar mitzvah presents, or have settled down and have the money to buy nice things, I'd just go for a cheaper enameled cast iron.
Le Creuset is nice, but is more of a status symbol; functionally it's not going to be much different than an enameled Lodge, which will cost around one tenth of the price.

I make lots of things with a dutch oven (bread, chili, roasts, stews) but would happily go with Lodge if it's reliable. Funnily I think Lodge would get you equal status symbol recognition, they are obviously designed as visual knock-offs of Creusets such that most people wouldn't notice unless you take it to the meetup of your local 4chan /ck/ chapter.
Just giving quick and easy tips to make your Mexican food more of a kick.
>Use Habaneros in your Mexican dishes. Add them in salsas, ceviches, and add them in cochinita pibil
>Use a bit of pilloncillo whenever you make something with tomatillos to balance the tartness. An example would be costilla en chile verde (pork ribs in a green sauce).
>buy Mexican herbs at all costs. do not substitute epazote, hierba santa, avocado leaves etc etc
>Use...

Shit in your refined beans.
Alright, /ck/.
You just one a prize! All your meals will be paid for by some mysterious benefactor. For the rest of the year.
However, you can only choose one of two cooks, Jack Scalfani or Marco Pierre White.
Jack is going to basically film the preperation of the meal before hand for his show, and he will use predominantly the Best Whatever You'll Ever Taste to prepare it.
MPW won't film it, but the only seasoning he'll use is Knorr stock pots and stock cubes and whatever else from Knorr he shills.
Who do you pick to make you...

gee what a hard choice

MPW is also smoking the entire time.

I'm torn, man.
Build-Your-Own Six Pack
What are your six favorite beers you've ever had?
Whiskey.
Bourbon
Don't live in the best state for craft beer, and only really expanded my experience over the past few years, so I'm sure given more time none of these would even rank for me, but for what it's worth. . .
Ommegang Three Philosophers
Left Hand Milk Stout Nitro
Cigar City Good Gourd Nitro
Smuttynose Robust Porter
Wicked Weed Pompoen
Alltech Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Aged Stout
The Smuttynose wasn't even on tap. If I can ever find it on tap, I expect to have my mind blown.
Honorable mention to Funky Buddha's Nib Smuggler,...

How lonely are you OP?

When it's Christmas, nothing is open, and I cook all day as a profession - I don't want to come home and make a fancy meal while I'm spending the holidays alone with my cat in a city I just moved to.
Im looking for a pizza box, it cant be dindu (thats american for brown) or any cardboard color. It has to be of 3 or more buckets (thats american for plate) and has be curvy (big) sized. And has to be really tasty (greasy). Also It has to be about 20 bux. And you have to post pics of it first (i want to make shure it's tasty [greasy]). And it would be nice if it came with matching feedbag (WITH straps). OH! and it CANNOT have any eagle, flag and gun pictures, or be made out of plastic. It has to be made of cardboard, or something like that. Also it would be nice if it was...

Waka waka waka!

I have this joke on vinyl. And yours is just a rehash of the way Iggy Pop and Lou Reed already did it. You mean you didn't /know/? Ugh.
Is anyone else's mother struggling mightily with Xmas dinner because she chose a recipe for beef tenderloin that called for 20 fucking ingredients without her actually knowing how to cook in the first place? We'll love her no matter how it turns out.
>>7202222
Nice quads.
We do breakfast in my family on Christmas day. My mother made hashbrowns, some egg dish with a bunch of different stuff in it (all cooked in a slow cooker. Turned out pretty okay, probably wouldn't make it myself any other time of the year though), sausage, waffles, french toast, a mixed fruit and berry dish, and a couple other things I don't remember very well.
Everything turned out pretty well, I just don't remember a lot of it cause I'm tired as fuck and should probably go take a nap.
So Ive just been given pic related as my christmas present. Thoughts and any special ways you guys like to drink this?
That there's a sipping rum, don't fuck with it
In a glass. Preferably room temperature.
It's cheap rum.
Put it in a mug and tend to it while going about your business throughout the day.
What does /ck/ think?
One of the few truly trustworthy sources on cooking, as they actually test the claims that they make.
>>7202087
This. I have the E-book downloaded too.
I will say I don't believe their investigation that says it's okay to refrigerate tomatoes though:
http://www.seriouseats.com/2014/09/why-you-should-refrigerate-tomatoes.html
Good enough. I got it for xmas, just making sure this is all nice and wonderful before I start cooking some shit. Hopefully y'all will see results in the next few weeks, also got some shiny ass wusthof knives with it.
So you think Santa will like these Red & Green M&Ms, /ck/?
I left Santa some burnt cookies and a can of Keystone light. I live alone so I don't know why I bother.
I don't know, I've never met the guy!

Hey /ck/.
A few days ago I had seen a cookie recipe made with triple chocolate and almonds, called "death by chocolate" I believe.
It was a recipe in an image.
I meant to save it but didn't.
So If someone out there has that image I would appreciate it.
Can't find a similar one online.
