So I got one of these for Christmas and I am excited to brew my first batch of beer, has anyone else ever used one of these before? How did it go? How was the beer?
Looks like a Mr. Beer kit, which is what I got one year. Honestly the beer turns out pretty mediocre. Not totally undrinkable, but if you're looking to make quality homebrew, it requires a bit of investing.
They're basically the "painting by numbers" equivalent of homebrewing.

can you brew beer with it without using their ingredient packs?
>>7203875
Yup.
Best moments involving Gordon Ramsay, whether it be his cooking or owning people?
Pic related.
Vid related as well, this was well deserved.

Loved to ever eat out as well, as I'm making some of his food for Christmas he has shown on youtube as well.
I'm not gonna say it's a "best" momen but it's interesting to see when gordon can't please somebody:

What a surprise, who cares about their horrible culture anyway
Questions that don't deserve their own threads
Does anyone have experience with smoked olive oil? The recipe calls for it, but maybe I can just use normal olive oil? How distinct is the flavor?
Atmospheric pressure has an impact on cooking but does it applies when I cook at home, at the third floor ?
>>7201379
Your room acclimates to the pressure on the floor you're on, and the floor you're on doesn't matter unless the building is humongously tall
>>7201362
Only one way to find out.
I doubt it makes that much of a difference. What's the recipe
I have a lot of lemons /ck/. What should I do with them?
>>7199815
eat them whole
just bite into them like an apple
>>7199815
preserve them moroccan style
Throw them all in your front yard then strip off your clothes and roll around in them naked making animal noises as loud as you can.

Alright so who else is mexican around here?
we made about 40 pounds worth. they'll be gone within the week
i'm not even remotely mexican but goddamn do I love me some fucking tamales
Looks tasty OP!
I am looking forward to eating tamales for the rest of the week. It's just my immediate family, but my mom brother and I cranked out ~100 red pork/green chicken/spicy cheese/sweet corn ones. Took all morning, but it was fun.
We make everything, except for the masa. We just buy the preparada and add stock. How deep do you guys go?
>>7200795
Same thing, they used to make it all from scratch, they were crazy
I ll start with tacos callejeros in front of pemex in Mexico DF

About the only way to drink Crown, that's for sure.
alberta springs 10year, with a dash of soda water. so nice.
if i'm feelin higher-shelf, the laphroaig triple wood combines peatiness and sherry-cask fruitiness nicely.

ITT: your irrational hatred of people pronouncing the names of specific foodstuffs inaccurately
>people calling fried rice 'fly ly' which, whilst being racist, isn't even an accurate Chinese speaker pronunciation because they pronounce it 'fri rye', if anything .

such taste
>tfw so fucking stupid that i can't even get one of these to fucking work
What the fuck, I put the god damned steaks into the bag, slid it into the machine until it hit the top, and pressed "vac/seal" button. Takes like a minute to suck the air out then seals it automatically and all the fucking air isnt even gone.
God damn it this is bullshit. How the fuck do you work this thing
Literally just get a ziploc and use water to squeeze the air out
>>7204122
idk man i might be too stupid to even get that to work.
>>7204116
There is probably an 'automatic' and 'manule' setting for sucking the air out. Try the manule setting.
I told my mom I could season her new cast iron pan for her because I've spent months watching you guys meme about it on here.
It came out looking like this. Wtf did I do wrong it's all splotchy and still rough?
Moms gonna freak how do I fix this?
>>7204061
it's fine u cuck
>>7204067
why is it all cloudy and splotchy in places then. .
and should I give it another hour in the oven?
>>7204084
That means that the iron has oxidized and your skilet is in danger. Try washing it with some soap and water to remove the polymerized layer of oxidized iron. If that does not work take it to a nearby vet. They might have to put your skillet down. Sorry anon.
Guests want Sauerkraut for New Years, but I don't really like it and I don't know what to do with it besides eating it raw. Should I ferment my own? Do I have enough time? Pls help me, /ck/, you're my only hope.
>Guests want Sauerkraut for New Years, but I don't really like it and I don't know what to do with it besides eating it raw.
Shred some onion and carrot (or beetroot) and sauté the three together in 2:1:1 ratio in either bacon grease or butter, caraway optional. Sauerkraut balls/dumplings are also nice as are sauerkraut pancakes.
>Should I ferment my own? Do I have enough time?
Yes but no, in that order. Make some yourself some time, but since it takes at least ten days (and often as much as double that), you're better off going storebought this time. If you live in the US, go to Aldi and get the sauerkraut in the jar with the blue label. It's good. Canned sauerkraut should generally be avoided.
Also, what's this about kraut for NYE? Is it some tradition I'm unaware of?
>>7203798
Thanks, bruh.
Definitely put caraway seeds in it, improves the taste 100%
Anyone live in NYC? What's your favorite pizza restaurant there?
The one I get shipped from Chicago
I like Joe's in the village a lot. Bleecker Street Pizza is overrated though, imo.
I like to walk around until I come across the cheapest knockoff Ray's I can find.
>Holiday Baking Circlejerk General
So, did you bake something nice too enjoy with that people who you say you love but only care to see once a year? Good! Post it here, recieve praise and insults about your manhood!
I made a dessert spread, both traditional and that I like.
