I've been made responsible for bringing the dessert to Christmas dinner and I'm not sure what to make.
My family is a very unadventurous, meat-and-potatoes crowd.
Ideas? I'm thinking maybe pic related, apple crisp.
>>7194996
How about pecan pie?
>>7194996
Make a Yule log?
Any dietary restrictions?
Banana split with walnuts and vanilla ice cream topped with maple syrup. Because that's what I'm craving right now so why the fuck not.
Whenever I make pancakes I never get that nice brown color that you see at any restaurant.
What am I doing wrong here? Not enough heat? Not enough oil?
Never use oil with pancakes, always use butter.
Likely not enough heat. Crank it to medium high.
Is this a new troll trend? People saying their food is coming out like shit because they're cooking it on a low temperature?
You cooking surface should be just hot enough so that a drop of water will dance around on it, and you should use a thin swipe of butter, not oil.
Mine come out fine every day. Only use butter if you're not using a teflon pan. If teflon, heat on the lowest heat until the water dances on it, spoon batter down, one ladle-full does it for me, cook for 1 min, flip, cook for 1 min, plate it. Should be perfect on both sides.
So I found a sous vide that cools food until cooking and can be enabled to start cooking over the internet. The problem is I have never cooked with sous vide before. Initially I liked the concept of being able to prepare food ahead of time and being able to cook it while I am working without the worry of over cooking. Anybody have any experience with sous vide cooking?

Meme vide cooking with a memephone app.

never heard of mellow, but the stove top circulator-oven /sousviide oven are typically like 400+ expensive. I would go with an anova the company is a lab materials manufacturer a nd you can just stick it int containers and make it an oven basically probably better quality, the food is pretty damn tasty but i dont have the time for it .
>>7194619
Thank you for your reply. I was going to pick one up as they were like $130. Where as the mellow is like $350 (pre-order). But like you, I dont have the time for conventional sous vide. Especially if I am preparing from frozen. The only thing that kills me about the mellow isn't the price. Its the fact that I am essentially rolling the dice on a pre-order without any reviews circulating.
I went to a japanese specialty store the other day and picked up pic related to try.
It's 10 times better than normal mayonnaise, which I normally hate. This shit is god-tier on tonkatsu.
Anyone else tried this and know what I can do with it besides use it like normal mayo? Also, GOAT condiments thread
>>7194558
Use it however you would use normal mayo. Having said that, the Japanese put mayo on a bunch of foods you wouldn't normally imagine, like their squid-balls.
>>7194558
baka desu senpai
The trick to Japanese mayo is pretending you're an American: just fucking drizzle it on everything.
Anyone remember this stuff? It's back now
Nope
Yeah. It was ok. I have a hard time getting excited about soda.
>>7194540
Zero fucks given about any of these meme beverages.
give me your best gravy recipes for this christmas.
>>7194510
Man, I just save the water used to bake my meat(about 1 cup), then slowly stir it into a combo of 1 tbsp of flour + 1 tbsp of butter.
It's a faux gravy, and the flavor depends on how the meat and how you season it.
I often use Sazon and Adobo, along with onion powder and garlic. I add pepper after the gravy is mixed.
>>7194510
what kind of gravy?
Sawmill Gravy?
blonde roux+milk+S&P
Sausage Gravy?
sawmill with drippings and sausage in place of butter
Red Eye Gravy?
pork pan drippings (usually ham) + black coffee
Pan Gravy?
pan drippings+stock+wine(optional)+ herbs(optional) finished with beurre maine
Brown Gravy?
Hazelnut roux+brown stock/drippings+demi/veal glace
Giblet Gravy?
Giblets+butter+thyme+shallot+flour+chicken stock or glace+hard boiled egg(optional)
I always suggest finishing gravies(or any sauces) with a pat of cold butter for smoothness, richness, and to help thicken.
>>7194526
Mushroom Gravy?
butter+mushroom+thyme+flour+vermouth+brown stock
Onion Gravy
Onion+butter+flour+sherry+Brown stock+demiglace
Egg Gravy? (though I prefer giblet since it very similar but with more flavor)
Poultry Drippings+flour+poultry stock/glace+ hard boiled eggs

If one eats cold food, is the calorie intake lower from the cold food as opposed to hot food? Body has to heat up the food, no?
>>7194187
Yeah I suppose that's correct but the energy lost by bringing the meal to your body temperature is negligible.
>>7194187
I eat mostly ice cubes during my diets because of this.
>he's never had cake'ems
Why not?

What are some foods for when you're completely shitfaced?

Holy shit get a stomach pump. I hope you have loved ones who will get you into rehab.

right now the bowls of Nongshim Ramen are 1 dollar at Kroger. I like those for drunk food because drinking the broth is a slight bit of insurance against a hangover the next day

>staying with girlfriend and her family over Christmas

>girlfriend says we have to use it since her mum bought it
We're making it tomorrow. How fucked am I, /ck/? By the way, in case it isn't obvious, her mum has no idea about cooking. I could write pages on the crap she makes. Here's what she calls her "homemade pizza":
>slices of plain white bread
>cheese
>salami
Pic related, the puff pastry she bought.
Use the puff pastry to make a dessert. Make your own crust from flour and yeast.
Make pizza pockets with the puff pastry
>>7194067
>sending other people to do your shopping
>is actually surprised when shit doesn't go according to plan
people are idiots bruh, but anyways, parbake the puff pastry then make a small desert pizza on it, if you try to use it for an actual pizza the weight of the sauce/cheese/toppings will be too much for you to be able to pick up a slice without it falling apart

Order a meatball pizza and open the box in front of her saying: "this is how meatballs are supposed to look".
