Food Thread: The Basics: What Are they?
[Hat Tip: Golfman]
I was recently in a McDonald's in Massachusetts or Connecticut (I don't remember which, but they are the same...right?) and discovered to my delight that there were two touch-screen ordering kiosks right smack in the middle of the joint! It was the first time I had seen one in a big restaurant. Oh, they have them at airports, but my suspicion is that is driven by the desire to entertain travelers who are desperate for any diversion from the tedium of waiting around for flights. Unfortunately the sausage biscuit did not meet my expectations. It was a bit rubbery, although it was certainly hot!
Some profoundly disturbed reader sent me this recipe for Coconut-Chia Oat Crisps. The subject of the email was "Healthy Oat Crisp," so my first thought was that it had been sent to me by mistake by some deluded Democrat. But no, I seem to have been the intended recipient.
Saw this in a magazine. It is flippin' awesome. Great plain or with some peanut butter on it.-- S.Lynn Am I being trolled?
Here's a recommendation for a cooking/shopping app from "Tyler." I use an app to create shopping lists, but it's sort of wonky and doesn't share across platforms very well, so I think I'll give this one a try.
Wanted to pass along a tip in the form of an app I use on my phone for maintaining recipes and grocery lists (Note: I'm in no way associated with it so my recommendation is coming strictly as a user). It's called AnyList and has a fantastic recipe import function, meal calendar as well as integration with with devices like an Amazon Echo so you can verbally add items to a shopping list on the fly. We use the app daily and it makes recipe hoarding insanely easy. It's also nice to have all the hit recipes in your pocket...I find myself using it when we travel to see family as well. All around, fantastic app and can't recommend it enough.
Last week I implored you all to go forth and bake your own bread. Well, that prompted several of you bastards to email me photos of your handiwork. In other words, I got some photos that could have been titled: "Fvck you Dildo, you suck...I'm better!" This is from commenter "Not That Guy," who claims that this is his fourth attempt at a sourdough boule. Obviously he is a professional baker and is trolling me...with some success.
Do not go into the light? I don't think so!

When having Ruth Bader Ginzburg over for an Italian dinner, always substitute the sage and thyme seasonings in the sauce with organic E coli.
Make sure it is organic. Ruthie can tell the difference. She learned the difference from a little-known paragraph in the South African constitution.

Eggs, ARE simple. And very often, screwed up. Scrambled especially. They are "easy" to make, but it can be tricky to get a good result. Omelets! The easiest to cook are usually bungled. It's true. That's why people cook at home in the first place.
Even Toast can get messed up. Mashed potatos (dehydrated) are a study in juuuust the right amount of liquid.
Bacon can get burned if too hot, too greasy if not hot enough.
But yeah, Eggs - with all their varied forms, each style have to be done carefully.

Quit scoffing. There were no microwave ovens back then. Minute Rice and instant mashed potatoes were a go to for ravenous kids. Slice of American cheese mixed in - Nirvana.
My son just taught his 8 year old how to make scrambled eggs, but I don't think it is something he can/should do unsupervised as yet.

I think if I was advising a young person starting out, I'd give them several recipes to make with cooked chicken because roasted chickens in the store are good, cheap, and widely available.
I'd rather roast my own, but if I were a beginner, I wouldn't bother.

I cook pasta at least a couple times a week. And Italian is my favorite food. Just giving credentials here before I make this point. I still am still not 100 percent sure whether adding some olive oil to the pot accomplishes something or not. I thought it was pretty much understood that that was an old wives tale since the key to getting pasta not to stick together is using enough water so that it does not become too starchy/sticky. But I saw Gordon Ramsay not long ago say you need to add the oil to the pot.
Long story short, or long, cooking pasta is definitely a skill but also an art with personal touches. I would say most bad cooks get of course the timing wrong, they don't use enough water, and they don't salt the water properly.

Not at all surprising. I work in a government building. A substantial number of the people there have advanced degrees. Those who don't generally are not low-IQ. And yet a lot of folks there leave the men's can without washing their hands.

Next time though I will cut up boneless breasts instead - more consistent size, and will use regular bacon instead of thick sliced - it was a little hard to wrap them. Try it, you'll like it.

If you want to learn basic techniques for cooking different things, do Home Chef for a couple months. It's a big waste of money as far as shopping goes. But it's awesome for learning, because you get everything you need for a given meal, nothing more, and instructions so detailed a child could follow them. Pictures and everything.
Posted by: Yudhishthira's Dice at April 07, 2019 04:28 PM (bFWHV)
Eggs are a great bang-for-buck cooking technique school. They're quick and you can easily make the right way and the wrong way for comparison.
By the way, I always oven-bake my bacon. 385º for however long until they look right (every person in my family has a different idea of what that is.) With the correct use of aluminum foil, there's no clean up.

Ground beef, spinach, onions, garlic, eggs, olive oil. Grade some fresh Parmesan just before you serve it. Cracked pepper is optional, but recommended.
How difficult could this be to make at home?
Probably took me 20 times to get it right. The heat of the pan, the timing of when to add ingredients, even the size of the chopped onion. Often, I overcooked an ingredient and it degraded the entire dish.
Learning how to make this dish taught me a lot about cooking basics of heat and timing.
You know, I just realized what is for dinner tonight.

Roasting a chicken is super easy, and turns out better than the rotisserie stuff that gets soggy at the bottom and dried out at the top if left too long.

rolling boil and there has to be enough of it so the pasta can move
around.

That's a really good tip. I've only frozen them into large squares, and after they're frozen, have to kind of scrape and hack at them to get smaller amounts off!
Posted by: m at April 07, 2019 05:08 PM (Scps5)
Take 5 slices, cut them in half crosswise.
Put 1/2 the slices back in the refrigerator.
Now, cut the remaining slices in half lengthwise.
This will give you 10 half-slices of half-slices.
Arrange the slices in a lattice pattern in a cold stainless skillet.
You should end up with a square equal to the size of a slice of standard size bread.
Put the skillet on a burner with the heat setting on low. (on my electric stove it's notch #2)
It'll take about 2 hours to fully cook the bacon and render out almost all the fat.
Now, you fry your egg, toast and butter your English Muffin, and you have your morning's breakfast sandwich.
Advantages: Shrinkage is almost zero, it doesn't curl up, it doesn't splatter grease all over the stove.
Disadvantage: The time it takes.
I'm at an advanced age, retired and I have nothing but time. In fact, I can pass 2 hours on the internet and still not get my reading (and commenting) done.
Upside: The aroma of cooking bacon lasts for hours and permeates the whole apartment building where I live.
I bring happiness and joy to all those who live around me.

Forgive me, please, but as a survivor of the various then-common
childhood diseases of the 1940s and '50s, I truly cannot understand the
germophobia that seems common today. I played in and ate dirt (ever had a
mud pie?)
Little LCD got a black lab for his 5th birthday. While we had a back yard for Shadow, he also liked to run loose at a giant dog park in Redmond that allows such stuff. Shadow intermixed with dozens of dogs, rolling around in the dirt, swimming, everything an active dog would do. Then getting back to the car, he licked little LCD in the face all the time. Little LCD would hug him back.
Little LCD got a bad ear infection as a 4 year old, but once the dog showed up, he was never, ever sick, except an occasional sniffle.

Good call. Anytime a recipe calls for adding oregano prior to exposing the dish it to high heat, it's best to leave it out or substitute for it. Or, add it at the end.
If you get oregano hot enough (to cook a chicken to done) it is going to burn and get bitter.

(See? Staying on topic.)
Funny thing though. I went out to shoo him off. He was about half way up a pole and just looked at me. Then he crawled around to the other side of the pole so I couldn't see him.
So I moved to where I could. He looks at me and creeps around to hide again.
We did this several times before he flew off. It was actykinda cool.
Posted by: Diogenes at April 07, 2019 05:30 PM (0tfLf)
1 whole chicken (cut into 8 pieces)
1 large sweet onion (chopped)
3-4 garlic cloves (minced)
1 Yellow Bell Pepper (chopped)
1 Carrot (Chopped)
2 tbsp bacon grease
3 tbsp Sweet Hungarian Paprika
1/2 water
1 tsp salt
1/2 cup heavy cream or sour cream
Spaetzle:
1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 cup water
1/4+ whole milk
1 tsp salt
2 tsp finely chopped parsley
Heat bacon grease in a dutch oven over medium heat. Add onions and garlic, saute until soft. Add paprika and salt and stir into a paste. Add chicken, remaining vegetables and stir until chicken is thoroughly coated and then water, cover and braise over medium low heat until chicken is cooked (approximately 45 minutes).
Remove chicken from pot and puree the cooking liquid until smooth with a stick blender or in a blender. Reduce heat to low and stir in cream or heavy cream .
For dumplings, mix ingredients until combined and dough is loose enough to slowly drip off of spoon, but not so loose it drips like a liquid.
Push dough through a spaetzle maker or through the big eyes of a cheese grater into salted boiling water and remove dumplings when they float (30-40 seconds).
Serve chicken and sauce alongside spaetzle.
Feed 4.
Note: Traditional Hungarian versions of this dish call for goose fat, but I'm in the south with no goose or duck fat, so you get bacon grease.
Also, I think you could work in a little hot paprika to spice things up a bit, but I was cooking for Little, who hates spicy things.

I have heard that head chefs will test a new hire by having them cook a omelet. It sounds so simple, yet it reveals so much about the chefs skill in one dish.
My omelets are always dang delicious but look horrible, I do not know what that says about me as a cook, hah... need to work on presentation.
It took me six times to make a successful roux for from scratch Mac and cheese. Six!! Looks easy but it stumped me. I kept burning the roux or doing something else dumb. But I was patient and finally got the hang of it. Patience is one of the cooks most important tools.
I still cannot make good stovetop hard boiled eggs or rice. That is what instant pots and rice cookers are for! Hopefully that confession is not worth a banning.
and yes, when I was still eating rice I always washed and soaked jasmine, basmati, and sticky rice at least a half hour before putting in cooker. Always tasted better. Nowadays my rice is the cauli kind. Needs a whole different prep.
Cooking goal for this year: make a successful hollandaise sauce. Wish me luck, I always need it with new things! One day I will master all the basic French sauces, that is a personal goal of mine.

I've only tried it once and it was not a roaring success, but I know it can be tricky.
I recently found Chef John's videos on making hollandaise and how to fix it if it breaks, so next time I'm trying his way.

One of the advantages of low and slow cooking bacon is the fat never reaches the smoking point.
If it smokes, you've burnt it... It gets a bitter taste that will transfer to whatever you cook with it.. You might as well throw it out.
Put a heaping tablespoon of rendered bacon fat in a saucepan with a cup of rice and a 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
Saute until rice begins to brown (tan color)
Add 1 1/2 cups water.
Lid on, turn heat to barely simmer for 15 minutes.
Let sit for 5-10 minutes to make sure all the water is absorbed.
What you end up with is, rice with a nutty, smoked bacon flavor.

Pretty basic actually.
I cut the breast in half long ways.
Put between wax paper and pound it out.
Salt and pepper and Mrs Dash.
I dip it in a beaten egg. Then flour and then panko.
Fry it with lots of butter. (Germans use lard)
I drizzle lemon juice on it while frying.
Serve.
Yum!

Nurse!! Are you willing to share recipes or tips for doing your stock in the instant pot? Especially your beef or chicken stock? I make homemade chicken bone broth every week, and yes it is heavenly nourishment from the gods vs the store bought boxes. But it is a day, day and a half in my crock pot to make the way I like, and then my house smells like garlic. Instant pot would solve the time and smell problem. Plus give my poor slow cooker a break, hah! it deserves it.

1. Eggs: Over easy, poached, and scrambled
2. Hollandaise. Use it on asparagus or broccoli
3. Eggs Benedict (#1 and #2 above)
4. Steak and chops: how to pick them, how to cook them (pan fry, broiler, grill)
5. Quick breads: biscuits, pancakes, waffles
6. Bread: loaves and rolls
7. How long to cook frozen fresh veggies in a microwave.
8. Taters: baked, hybrid (7-9 min in microwave, finish in oven), roasted (regular or sweet potatoes)
9. Use of herbs. Pick 2 or 3
10. Egg custard
The above is all I've been using for the past month, having assumed all domestic duties as I care for Mrs IMG post-hip surgery. She's been very happy with her meals!

I use what I remember as a "minute hollandiase". Don't remember what book I got it from. Might have been from the Oscar mini-food processor.
Whiz the egg yolks, mustard and a couple drops of tabasco. Then drizzle in melted butter while whizzing.
The most time taken is separating the eggs.

I'm not much for recipes. For broth, I usually throw in the bones, some carrot, celery (not much, it's an overpowering taste) and onion with some peppercorns and a bay leaf or two. add water, hit go on instapot, and presto! stock in about 40 minutes.
I've also used marrow bones, the flavor is intense, but you have to be careful because the stock is fatty. you can put in the fridge, skim off the fat and use for frying potatoes or as the fat for your roux.
then take the extra marrow that hides in the bones and spread it on toast. holy hell.......
I use the beef stock in my pot roast and my kids go nuts.

Definitely eggs, especially omelets. I absolutely hate any browning with my eggs.
One thing I'd teach someone is basic sauces. Not the French ones, or a red sauce or gravies, but simple sauces to go over a protein. I think sauces are what makes restaurant food so appealing. It helps keep a dish moist.
My favorite simple sauce is for chicken breasts. Butter, lemon juice, Dijon mustard melted in a saucepan and whisked to somewhat emulsify. Add capers and some black pepper. Other ingredients, crushed garlic or chopped shallots, can be added to taste.
My go to sauce for sauteed sole is a roasted red pepper, Kalamata olive and caper sauce. Roast the peppers, peel and deseed. Puree the pepper, add to saucepan and add sliced olives and capers to taste. There is a certain consistency I look for, so I add the sliced olives and capers in stages. Also freezes well; that's why I usually roast five or six peppers to make a batch for the current meal and freeze small portions for future meals.
I'm always open to simple and quick sauce recipes with lots of favor.

Still struggling. 3 hours in surgery trying to find the internal bleeding, didn't find it, and 2 days later, bleeding has stopped.
But mentally, not good. Negative, almost paranoid sometimes, yelled at one of my brothers to get the hell out of the room. This is the brother that lives closest and usually takes her to doctor appointments and such.
I visited her on Friday night, she wouldn't talk a normal conversation. Angry, although not at me, but no reason why (other than being in the hospital, of course). But she remembered the details of our conversation the day before in detail.
I talked with her nurse that was attending her, a great young lady who is going to have her first baby in a few months, and she used the term "sundowning". Never heard it before.
I'm going to visit a bit later today.
Thanks for asking, nurse.

Thanks to a 7th grade Home Ec dish, chocolate and bananas is a combination that will make me both nauseous and homicidal.
We had to slice open the banana, stuff inside the peel with chocolate chips and marshmallows, then bake the thing. Then eat it.
I have not eaten a banana since.

When you eat at a restaurant, do you think everything you order is cooked from scratch?
I don't think so.
Posted by: ALH at April 07, 2019 06:47 PM (8wKjk)
They come boneless, packed two in a bag. Season all over with Lawry's Seasoned Salt. Tie with butcher's twine (easy to do after watching a video on Youtube). It's worth it to buy a twine dispenser.
Pull the inner lining from the roaster and preheat the roaster to the max temp outside.
Use a probe thermometer set to 195 degrees in the smaller of the two bigass chunks of meat, place them on a rack in the inner lining, and roast them at the max temp for thirty to forty-five minutes.
Lower the temp to the 225-degree mark and wait for six to eight hours for the alarm to go off. Pull the smaller one, wrap it in foil, and put it into an empty cooler. Put the probe into the larger bigass chunk of meat.
When the alarm goes off again, wrap that one and put it in the cooler. They should rest for at least an hour.
I forgot to mention that you should have a pair of heat-insulated PVC gloves for handling the bigass chunks of meat. Home Depot sells them.
It doesn't have any smoke flavor, but I frankly don't miss it, and most people eat it with sweet or sour sauces that have smokiness added.
The cut from deboning allows seasoning the inside. The yield is roughly eight pounds of pulled pork for less than thirty bucks. Most BBQ joints charge $12 to $15 per pound for cooked pulled pork in bulk. Doing it yourself for one party more than pays for the roaster, gloves, rack, and twine dispenser.
Lots of options for leftovers. I'm partial to Mexican dishes.

No, of course not. They aren't growing lemons in the kitchen. But gravies are pretty simple. Fat, flour, stock, seasoning.
So many of those package mixes have too much sodium for me (or my cardiologists). I try to cook from scratch as much as possible to control the salt.

It teaches temperature control, patience, timing, when to stir things and when to leave them be.
It also teaches about the chemical components of food and how the cooking process can release hidden flavor profiles. Raw onion and caramelized onion almost could not be any more different.
