My Seitan is simmering away. I hope it turns out. I used a recipe in my Bittman cookbook, he said to use 6 cups water + 1/3 cup soy sauce to boil it in. Have any of you guys made Seitan before? I guess I'll just cut some up and eat it with brown rice. I've also heard you can brush some oil on top and bake it.

>seitan
>brown rice
Why?
For those of you who don't know, seitan is also known as "wheat meat". It's made from gluten flour, it's around 85% protein. You may have seen it as "mock duck" before.

Why not? I like white rice better, but it seems to make my face break out.
that can't be healthy
Has anyone made eclairs before?
I tried for the first time today and they have a nice hole in the middle but they're really tiny. I was following Jacques Pepin's recipe in his Complete Techniques.
Any ideas what went from and how to make them bigger? Is it just as simple as piping more choux or could something have gone wrong in the recipe?
>>7190534
ur mom pipes my choux
The insides look fine from here, and they're kinda eclair sized anyway. Maybe the recipe was just for smaller eclairs than you were expecting.
They look fine, other than the very sloppy piping. It really doesn't look like you messed up the choux pastry. You are going to have to pipe them bigger if you want large eclairs

Suck it, bitches.
Flyover is an attitude, a way of life. Not necessarily a location

I like Alton, but come the fuck on if you think his opinion equates to shit. The man is an entertainer, and that's it.
Have you guys ever cooked anything while tripping on acid? I'm taking 2 tabs tomm and i've always wanted to. Any ideas on foods that would be aesthetically pleasing to cook (frying, using bright ingredients, foods that react in a cool way when you put them in a pan)?Preferably not something that requires constant attention like caramels or shit like that.
Did you ever take acid before? You won't want to eat, if anything you'll eat some chips or some noodles or something.
Cooking while hallucinating an entirely different reality?
How fucking stupid are you?
Don't fucking cook you idiot
I doubt you'll even be in the mood to cook anything
>>7190438
I can't hardly even eat while tripping. No way would I start playing around with food, knives and fire with a head full of acid.
Can anyone tell me how to make lentils properly?
I've followed about 4 different directions, and a few videos, but each time I follow any of them, mine come out completely different. Some of them are perfectly cooked, others are mushy, and others are hard still. All in the same pot; and I don't know what I'm doing wrong.
Tips? Advice?
>>7189872
It's all about the cooking time.
Lentils are hard? They're not cooked yet. Keep cooking.
Mushy? You overcooked them. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing. You could always continue cooking even longer or puree them to make a smooth soup.
It depends on the type of lentil and how you want them to turn out. Pardina and puy lentils will hold their shape better than green lentils.
Best method is to soak them for 10-30 minutes first. Then wash them off and simmer them until soft. You have to test them often to make sure you don't overcook them.
>>7189881
None of the directions I ever read said to soak them. Should I?
>>7189879
Yeah, but what I'm saying is that, in the same batch, in the same pot, some lentils will come out perfect, others not. I'd rather not over cook it until everything is just mushy.
I want nice firm and tender lentils. I have a half bag of green lentils left.
Need some advice.
Me and a buddy just picked up a starter kit to make 5 Gallons and we're gonna make an IPA starting on Thursday.
We have 2 oz each of Cascade, Mosaic & Ahtanum hop pellets.
But the recipe we currently have is;
1 oz. each of Mosaic[12.8% AA] Cascade [5.5% AA] for Bittering.
0.5 oz Cascade [5.5% AA] for Finishing.
2.0 oz Ahtanum [5.2% AA] For Dry Hopping
Do you think this IPA needs more hops for the Finishing process or what?
Which hopes should we use for the Bittering, Flavoring anf Finishing?
>>7189342
Needs more hops. At least 16oz
>>7189342
Needs more hops. At least 40oz
>>7189342
>Need some advice.
Don't make an IPA on your first attempt.

Ask a vegetarian anything

Why are you vegetarian?

I pinch your mom's bum when I'm fuckin' her
>>7185876
Yea, but then you gotta deal with that hard black little thing. Eating from the top, it just stays in the bottom of the peel
I tried that after somebody said it's how gorillas open them and it's less effort. Congrats you trolled me.

Vegan here. Tried the beast burgers. Pretty gross. Field roast is way better.
Vegetarian alternatives to beef are always more expensive than the real deal. They will never be able to replace meat as long as they're a luxury item.
>>7190546
I'd say they're a little less then premium versions of the real thing.

Think about it. Is it really that important?
To all the steak lovers: what ia the best sauce to eat with a steak? Do you have a recipe to make one at home? I'd like to make a really good one for a christmas present. I don't care if it takes a lot of work.

No sauce is the best sauce.
