I really hate peeling potatoes. I've got some good peelers and tried a few tricks, but it always remains a tedious job. Tricks like pulling off the peel after cooking doesn't work well with starchy potatoes (I make mashed potatoes quite often).
Does anyone have experience with a simple potato peeler like in this picture? Is it worth it? Or is cleaning it about as much work as manual peeling would've been, f.e.. I've worked with a huge professional one before, but I doubt it compares.

Potato skin tastes good though!
Fuck peeling!
>>7155831
That's true for some potatoes, but the ones I use for mashed potatoes often have a thick skin that doesn't taste so nice and gets stuck in your teeth.
>>7155831
I'm in this camp. Haven't peeled a potato in years.
Why do you all Amerifaggot love Mc, burger king and junk food?
>>7155793
wow rude
generalizing an entire population.
I hope you don't kiss your mother with that brain, friend.
>>7155802
How can I actually kiss my mother with the brain, fag?
>>7155804
it's simple, you serenade her with your intellect.
though, upon further thought on the matter I don't see where I should have assumed you'd know that considering you're unintelligent enough to generalize an entire population into a set of foodstuffs. I apopo for thatha.
why is everyone a fag to you? do you want to talk about it?
Outside of salad, what kinda food can I use apple cider vinegar with? What recipes do you have that use it?
Mix a cap full into a cup of water and drink once every day with breakfast. Also that is the ultimate cider vinegar you chose.
Coleslaw

If you drink it, it cures cancer and opens up your chakras and shit.
srsly tho I use it for greens, like kale, collards, and Brussels sprouts. It gives them a nice hint of tanginess.
Can anyone help me with this or point me to a guide? Apparently you cant just let them sit in the Vodka like you would do with Boiled sweets. Or can you?
>What I'm trying to use.
my sister tried to dissolve some twizzlers into vodka
It just ended up kinda bleaching them, turning the vodka red and the twizzlers white. Tasted awful 2bh.
Shit experience all around
Dont u just poor some vodka in a bowl that has the gummy bears and put it in the fridge? Ive never done it but thats what I always hear
So I've been trying to bake bread but things are not working out for me. I have tried two no-knead bread recipes, the one from Lahey and the artisan bread in 5 minutes one.
The dough rises great and comes out with a great crust. There are a lot of air pockets in the crumb so thats all good.
However the crumb itself is like rubber and has little to no taste. I have tried many things like cooking it way longer, lower/higher temperature, longer/shorter with the lid on the pot. It always comes out the same.
What am I missing here, maybe I"m using bad...

add a pan full of boiling water to the oven at the beginning
>one from Lahey
Well there's your fucking problem
>>7155706
I put the bread in a pot to contain the steam like a Dutch oven thing. I thought that was like the equivalent of putting water in the oven?
Also the picture you posted does not have my problem in it. Adding more salt to the bread is not helping at all in this case. Rubbery crumb isn't in there either, what am I looking at then? Too dense or poor texture? I have varied with salt, amount of water, amount of yeast, fermentation time and oven temperature already.
As far as I can tell those are pretty much the most important variables and it comes out exactly the same every single time.
I figure the whole no knead bread thing is a lie or this flour is not suitable.
What are some affordable easy recipes for NEETs to make at home?

You're an embarrassment
Sup /ck/. I have a friend that doesn't believe me that being vegan is healthy. He doesn't understand where my iron comes from. I have looked everywhere but I cannot find a comparison picture for like the amount of iron vs veg. Help a bro out?
>>7155557
Your friend is right to trust his instincts.
I liked the last thread better because we stopped having stupid made up stories about "my friend who believes blahblah"
Just post a picture of a dislikable person and say "vegans" and let the shitposting flow
It was much more honest and refreshing
>>7155557
So where *do* you get your iron from?
I'm having trouble with my steamed buns. They don't seem to be steaming correctly. If I put them in the steamer for too long then the dough goes soft and molten and gets really sticky and they get stuck to the parchment that they're sat on.
If I put them in for less time than this so that they're still fairly solid then they don't cook properly and they end up raw.
Either way, they don't seem to be steaming properly and don't end up tasting like the dough has finished cooking or steaming or whatever.
Recipe is:
250g plain white flour
1.25 tspn baking powder (5g)
1tspn instant yeast
1tbspn brown sugar
A pinch of salt
130ml milk (warmed)
1 tbspn vegetable oil
1/2tspn vanilla
I'm using mincemeat as the filling and combining it with flour so it doesn't make the bottom of the bun too soggy.
Method:
Mix the ingredients into a ball of dough, knead it for at least 10 minutes and then until I got bored, leave in the bowl covered with clingfilm and moist towel to let it rise.
Bash the air out, roll it out and make it into little balls, leave for another 15 miutes.
Roll the balls out, add filling, make into a bun and steam for 10-15 minutes.
Sounds like your steam's too hot, turn it down
>>7155492
I thought that could be an issue. I started with boiled water and then just left it on the lowest setting. Should I be using cold water and just allowing it to come up to a steam on a low setting?
Sounds like the exact opposite to me. As in, to get it cooked all the way through, you're having to leave it in so long the outside overcooks. Slowing it down would just exacerbate the problem.
Starting with boiling water is good. Everything I've read says to steam on a high heat, and I always crank the flame nearly to max.
Tonight, we dine like kings. King cu/ck/'s that is.

Step 1: Assemble your ingredients. Use only the highest quality, just like the king himself would use.

Step 2: Crushed pineapple, in the pan
>>7155185
Step 3: Lemon jello, in the pan. You can use lime, but we really feel like the lime flavor would clash with the flavor profile that is getting built here.
salt in desserts is a meme
sure, but it tastes good
>>7155145
it does not
Salted caramel is good though.
>fill half of glass with ice
>cut thin slice of lemon and jam it somewhere inbetween the ice
>pour coca cola over ice and lemon until glass is full
there you go, have yourself a glass of coke with significantly improved taste and thank me later

>drinking soda
It's 2015 brah

>not filling the glass completely with ice before adding coke

Coke with real lemon is fucking amazing. Especially Mexican coke when they use real cane sugar
I got some kimchi.
what do I do with it?
I've never had kimchi before.
Put it on salad. That's what we do in New Zealand.
Throw it in your ramen
Scramble it up with some ham or spam and green onions.
All other milks are pretty shit compared to Almond Milk.
How does /ck/ feel about this?
Are you part of the mater race?
Or are you a shill enjoying your "soy" products?
>>7154918
I like it, I just wish they could find a way to make it thicker. It's like eating cereal with water.
>>7154925
What brand are you using?
Mines always thick as hell, like more than 2% thick.
>>7154918
Former whole milk drinker here.
I've pretty much switched to Silk Vanilla Almond. It is tasty as hell, and even with the sugar, lower calories. I made the mistake of getting unsweetened once. The trauma of drinking that is still costing my insurance company in therapy bills.
hey /ck/ i am trying to lose weight
i need 400 calorie meal ideas
breakfast will always be a cup of rice and 2 large eggs because its what ive eaten for breakfast for like 3 years in a row
>>7154750
I do a diet of 500 or less calories per meal. Typically do a salad or sandwich with some fruit or veg for lunch, and soup for dinner. I occasionally do chicken breast/thigh or pork loin with Brussel sprouts or broccoli.
>>7154750
2lbs of broccoli
Jalapeño chips are GOAT desu senpai
I know there are a few McD workers here so I've got a question for you.
I'm basically a permanent traveller and I eat McD breakfast more than I'd like to admit because it's consistent, familiar, usually easy and I actually rather like my standard order. However I'm not an early riser and often have to race to get to a McD on time.
Why can't I get a sausage and egg muffin at 10:31?
I know it's not because of anything in the cashier's terminal, sometimes I can in fact get a muffin at 10:31 because they have one left...

That's very civilised.
HK has sausage and egg muffins on its 24/7 discount menu too but it's a special thing.

>What the fuck time traveling OP?
I can confirm that Australia, HK and China both have 6am-10:30am breakfast. Well, might be 5:30am or something but they all close breakfast at 10:30am. Pretty sure that UK does too though it's been...
