Post pictures of steaming hot butts
>>7211299
I just begun smoking last year and I have yet to build any bark like that on my butts. They come out delicious and very tender but not quite as beautiful as your picture
>>7211373
Unsolicited advice, but if I were to guess I'd say you're almost certainly not cooking them long enough. Lower the temperature of your smoker. We're talking 16-20 hours.
I'm very serious about barbecue, and set my alarm so I can wake up in the dead of night and check on the fire. Most people want to get the cooking time below 8 hours so they can start it in the morning and have it ready by dinner, and it just isn't the same. I refuse to finish it in the oven.
>>7211388
That is exactly what I do. I get in the mind set of waking up at 3am to throw it on the smoker by 4 but never actually go through with it so I shoot for 6 hours smoke time and 2 hour wrapped in foil.
I just started working a 10-9 shift at my job. Lunch is an hour at 2:00, but there's no real dinner to speak of, just a 15 minute break around 4:30 and 10 minutes around 7:00. So I need ideas for meals I can eat in under 5 minutes. Just quick things I can rush off to the break room, devour, and get back to work. Or barring that, some dinner shakes I could drink at my desk (snacks aren't allowed, but drinks are, though I'll have to check which one a shake falls under before trying this).
Only 5 minutes? You could jerk off 6 times.
Where the fuck do you work that doesn't allow snacks at your own desk?
>>7211289
Sushi would work.
Sup ck,
It's getting cold. What's your favorite soups?
>>7211223
It really depends, I don't want to eat one thing 100% of the time.
New England Clam Chowdah is right up there, but then so are Thai soups. There are so many that it would be silly to have to pick just one.
>>7211248
... split pea too, see too many to pick just one.
Cheese and Broccoli Soup
French Onion Soup
Homemade Ramen
Loaded Baked Potato Soup
Cheeseburger soup
Celery Soup
Treat yourself to grilled bratwurst on a quality bun with brown mustard. Sauerkraut is good, too.
>>7211176
>Sauerkraut is good, too.
I can never decide whether i prefer kraut or sauteed onions
Your buns a little short, though I completely agree you should never serve them with hot dog buns. Either serve 2 sausages on a kaiser roll sheboygan style, or 1 on a dedicated brat bun
>>7211192
also, this is the best mustard choice that I have found so far
>>7211176
>quality bun
that bread is basically just so you don't get brat grease and mustard on your hands, basically just a vehicle for delivering meat and condiments to your mouth
If it were a good bun, it'd probably be bigger and not just literally any random bread cut to hold something
So what's your signature dish, /ck/?
I call it Meme Supreme. It's tendies poached in sriracha served over carbonara with extra cream. Quinky sauce on the side.
Rigitoni, ground beef or Italian sausage, cheese (the chesseier the better), prego Italian pasta sauce, then munch it...garlic bread optional.
Chicken cordon blue stuffed with prosciutto and gruyere and I coat it in Dijon and mayo and then shake n bake.
I also make great Brunswick stew
What sorts of meats do you usually have with/in your tomato sauce?
>>7210972
sausage, meatballs. if you want something different try pork skin. season with salt, pepper, parsley. simmer in sauce until it's like butter, spread it on crusty garlic bread with vinegar and top with a bit of salad.
>>7210972
pork over beef every time
tomatoes makes boiled ground beef bearable, but ground pork enhances boiled tomatoes.
I don't usually do anything fancy. Little ground beef or chicken, sausage is also good (either the lose meat or sliced).
>What's the proper way to clean a cast iron pan?
>If all the nutrients from a vegetable are lost when you drain the water from the pot, what's the best way to eat them when cooked this way? Just take them out of the pot and deal with the water later?
>What the fuck is tumeric for?
Why are you greentexting your own questions?
>>7210955
Boiling water.
More nutrients are made available because they're cooked than raw. The water is inconsequential. Just steam shit if you're that gay about it.
Color.
>>7210955
The same as everything else (except no dishwashers), then re-season every season.
Stop being dumb and just make a vegetable soup
Overpowering other tastes (mainly those found in lard)
Is sashimi overrated?
Had the omakase at one of the top places in my non-flyover area, and it was mostly unremarkable. A fascinating experience but I'm not sure I'd get it again.
Note that I'd believe that I'm just a plebian, the weirdest thing I've eaten are either sweetbreads or foie gras. I've also had escargot, but those aren't that fancy.
>>7210888
It is sliced raw fish, there is only so much you can do with it before it becomes Sushi.
Yes, it is probably overrated. No, it isn't shit though. It is not going to be a mind blowing experience, but that is sort of the point. It is stripped down simple raw flesh of a particular animal. You get to experience its flavor with little to no frills. There is something to be said for that.
>>7210888
I loves me some raw fish, tuna being my favorite, but really, yeah it's probably an overrated fad food.
That being said, you really don't know what a certain fish tastes like until you try it. It's kinda a hard thing to generalize as the flavor varies so wildly. I'd suggest trying it again
has little caesars gotten better or have other pizza chains gotten worse? i had little caesars and papa johns last week and there wasnt much of a quality difference
I always liked Papa Johns better than other pizza chains. I like the doughy crust because they give you that horrid garlic butter to dip it into.
Why did you eat two different chain pizzas in a single week
haven't had papa johns in a while but from what I remember their pizzas are pretty good. Hopefully they haven't gone down in quality because I really liked their pizza. I don't think ive had little caesars.
What do I make with these ingredients?
>>7210857
Spam noddles
Carbonara
broccoli and spam noodles.
Can someone redpill me on canola oil? Is it healthy and fine to eat? And if so how much?
I only ask because I just found out about how some people say its bad. I eat stovetop popcorn cooked in canola oil every day as a snack or dinner if I am lazy, and have for years. I've tried switching to coconut but the taste is different and it is substantially more expensive. I don't really care about the macronutrient difference but if it will give me cancer I will switch to another oil.
Everyone has their vices on things they like to eat unhealthily. For example, chocolate, soda, and butter
However ill recommend you to continue eating canola oiled popcorn as a snack but dont skip dinner or substitute with popcorn it isnt all that nutritional.
I also have been consuming foods cooked in oil as long as i can remember
Most significantly eat more green veggies
Spinach brocolli kale collards lettuce cucumber etcetera
Happy eating
>>7210855
Just switch to grape seed oil. $5-8 for those big jug size.
Suppose to be the better of the common oils.
All food is deadly poison, but you will die from a burst brain aneurysm so don't worry about it.
Who here? Al dente ramen?
I prefer soft noodles that have had time to soak up the broth.
>>7210849
I usually do them pre-al dente, I don't know what the term for that is. I usually add stuff to the noodles so by doing it that way it gives whatever I add time to cook too without causing the noodles to get soggy or mushy.

Amen brother
i tried to make a crock pot chicken/mushroom soup and it turned out like shit. literally tastes like water.
I took a 2 gallon crock pot,
2 chicken halves with skin and bone
lots of sliced raw mushrooms, jalepenos, habanaros, onion, carrot, garlick and green pepper and balanced it with water
I put it on low for 8 hours and then shredded the chicken
what am i missing? why did this taste like water and fat? why can't i cook?
Too much water.
Remember that the chicken itself (even unfrozen) has water in it that comes out while slow cooking.
Next time try half or even a quarter the amount of water.
>>7210684
Never underestimate the browning contribution to flavor, or how reducing adds yumminess.
I don't see salt or peppercorns listed, and no herbs, such as chives, parsley, dill or bay. Herbes du provence even, saffron, lemon, something!
Chicken gets tough cooked that long. I get that you wanted stock or a crock pot meal, but you'll be tweaking it til right.
>>7210684
You probably only needed a splash of water. Chicken has a ton in it already, so do veggies, especially mushrooms.
It pays to brown your meats before you slow cook them, too. More flavor.
Also, did you add any salt or pepper?
Hey /ck/,
I just got a Rice Cooker for christmas, got any good ideas?
>>7210600
I like those one pot dishes you can make with rice cookers.
Sear the outside of your meat of choice, throw it right into the pot with your rice, water, spices, a tiny bit of olive oil and a couple of cloves of garlic then about halfway through cooking, open really quick and throw in your vegetables.
Opening the cooker mid-operation might fuck up the texture of your rice, but honestly I've never had a single issue.
cook rice
