Cooking thread AKA The "IT'S ****ING RAW!!!!!!!!!" thread.

[6strings]

Hello,
I've recently taken on the responsibility of cooking with absolutely no experience with cooking or baking.
I'm very interested in learning from some of you amature cooks or pro cooks.
I know I could easily look up google/youtube/instagram/redtube/pinterest for tips. But I think a community of this size can have some great insight in the world of food.

Here we can discuss:
Cooking Utensils and Hardware
Kitchen set ups
Recipes/Ingredients
Food we have tried and would like to try

It would be nice if we avoided hashtagged infested pictures of things we've cooked a la Instagram, but hey I'm not a mod, so you can do whatever you want to do you ****ing donkeys!!!

Anyways,

Bon Apetit!

I am looking for a good recipe for Biryani (south Asian rice casserole thing) that's as good as what you get at small restaurants. Preferably with chicken and spicy!

[asyed]

FD22 ... as a brown man who is fascinated with cooking.... hook this man up with some biryani recipes.


Id do it but I cant cook for crap.... unless its french toast or fried eggs.

[Noobster12]

I found this great recipe/checklist that you can use to make Chicken Biryani. I am no expert in Indian cuisine but it seems to be the right ingredients. Some indian restaurants add more ingredient or spices on their food. If you are going to cook it yourself, take a spoon and taste everything. If it lacks spices, add a little bit more. Indian cuisine is great for their spices which is why I like eating it. :)

I think cooking can be very simple if you start off on easy things.
I just mastered making my toasts consistent and I can boil a mean water!

This is Kiewan's little input

Very easy way to cook chicken breasts.

Set oven to 400
Ceramic pan (anything safe in the oven)
Set burner to high heat, sear chicken on both sides to seal in juices. A little Montreal chicken spice and oil the pan a little.

Once seared, finish in oven. Usually 10 min each side. Check if cooked. Won't be dry. Tastes good.

Thank you Kiewan

I set a goal when I was still in university to perfect homemade pizza. Most difficult part was finding a good dough recipe. The recipe below is the result of my search. Its time consuming but so G.D. worth it. A few notes first, I highly recommend you make it the day before. For accuracy, its recommended to weight all ingredients, but volumes SHOULD work well enough. Also, it just wont be the same if you don't have a pizza stone. So go buy a pizza stone. Enjoy.

Warm water = 516 g / 2cups + 2tbsp
Malt Syrup/Malted Barley (extra yeast food) = 6 g / 1/2 tsp
Olive Oil = 42 g / 3 tbsp
Flour = 872 g / 6 cups
Yeast (instant dry) = 8 g / 2 1/2 tsp
Salt = 20 g / 1 tbsp
Sugar = 11 g / 1 tbsp

Instructions
Combine water, malt, and oil. Combine flour and yeast, and add to the liquid. Add salt and sugar.
Mix to combine, then knead dough for 6-7 minutes (or 7 minutes if you have one of those fancy mixers)
place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with plastic, and allow to rest in a warm place for 30 minutes.

At this point, the dough will be ready to be separated. This recipe makes between 3 to 5 pizzas, depending on how thin/large you roll it. I usually do 3.
Once the dough is separated, refrigerate for a minimum of 8 hours or overnight (you CAN use the dough now, but waiting over night makes a big difference). Freeze unused portions in an oiled container/bag.
When ready to use, remove from the fridge and allow to warm to room temp (about an hour). When baking, preheat to 500, and when you put the pizza in, lower it to 450. Bake 14-16 minutes.

Its worth it I promise.

This is generally good advice for most thick cuts of meat (i.e. briefly sear all sides on the stove over high heat, then finish in the oven). However, if you have access to a barbecue/grill, I find that's an even easier way to cook most meats to perfection. For a boneless chicken breast, set the BBQ to medium-high heat. Rub the chicken with olive oil and season to taste. Drop the breasts on the hot grill for about 3 minutes, then rotate 45 degrees and cook another minute. Then flip the breast, cook for 2 minutes, rotate 45 degrees and cook another 2 minutes. Depending on the size of the breasts, this should be close to perfect. And the 45 degree rotations leave the chicken with nice diamond-shaped grill marks.

My Crockpot Chili - fail safe

2lbs lean ground beef
1 can diced tomatoes
1 can tomato soup
1 can red kidney beans
1 can white kidney beans
1 green pepper
1 red pepper
1 red onion or sweet onion or half and half
1/4 bag of baby carrots
1 Jalapeño
2-3 garlic cloves
1 heaping tablespoon of chili powder
Salt and pepper to taste

Toss tomato's, tomato soup with half can of water, rinsed beans, all veggies chopped, salt pepper and chili powder in crockpot. Turn to high. Brown ground beef in frying pan on stove, drain fat and fry just a bit more. Toss beef in crockpot and stir all together. 2-3 hours on high or until all veggies are soft. Stir once in a while.

Never fails. Reduce chili powder or remove seeds from jalapeño to reduce spicyness.

Yield
Makes 12


Ingredients
3 cups confectioners' sugar
3/4 cup Dutch-process cocoa powder (spooned and leveled)
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
5 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
1 1/2 cups chopped pecans (or other type of nut)
4 large egg whites, room temperature

Directions


Preheat oven to 325 degrees. In a large bowl, whisk together sugar, cocoa, and salt. Stir in chocolate and pecans. Add egg whites and stir just until incorporated (do not overmix).
Drop dough by 1/4 cupfuls, 3 inches apart, onto two parchment-lined rimmed baking sheets. Bake until cookie tops are dry and crackled, about 25 minutes, rotating sheets halfway through. Transfer sheets to wire racks and let cookies cool completely. (To store, keep in an airtight container, up to 3 days.)

The cookies are not that sweet and has a nice chewy/crispy texture. Best of all, really easy to make.

I have done some variety of cooking through out the years. Some of the recipes are from an ancient cook book published in 1986. Hope you guys like it.

This thread makes me hungry all the time...

[m_bisson]

What's a soufflé like? Texture, taste, etc... Is it as hard as they say it is to cook it?

[Kiewan]

Food baby BUMP

I cooked stir fry and made cookies tonight & thought I would share a recipe.

Stir fry for cooking noob. should serves 3-4. (2 hungry people and a kickass lunch for tomorrow)

2 frying pans needed. Small & large

5-6 Small fillets of chicken breast. I keep the fillets whole so they don't dry out. Use any meat really. Thaw/ defrost meat if frozen beforehand (M&Ms stuff) my chicken was $4 at no frills. Marinate in teriyaki sauce while chopping veggies. I added a hint of Diana's BBQ + sweet chilly sauce. (Lumpia Shanghai sauce)

Skin and finely dice fresh ginger : 49¢ for a big root. I love ginger: fresh always better. Put that into the marinate while preparing vegetables. Excess ginger into freezer for next time.

Cook Rice In Rice cooker: 1.5 cup rice, 2 cup water. Adjust ratio for portion.

3 bell peppers; Green, red, yellow. Chop into hearty chunks approx. 1.5" square. Colour is good. Chop 2 white mushrooms into slices. I cook / throw in mushrooms and peppers last so they are still semi-crisp.

Sauté 1 small white onion (slice, the. Cut the rounds in half) in separate small pan. Do this before starting the chicken. Olive oil in pan, low-med heat, keep an eye on them. Add maple syrup right when they sauté if you want caramelized onions.

Oil pan for cooking chicken, wipe pan with paper towel to collect most of the oil. You Just want a non stick surface. I cook with very little oil + ceramic pans help cut down on oil used.

Cook Chicken around 5 min med -med high heat, pour marinate in with chicken when you flip over to keep it moist. Keep moving it around, dont let sauce sit and burn. When chicken is almost done, toss all veggies + onions in pan.

Serve on Rice.

Person who cooks never does dishes. Enjoy.

Home made poutine.

Oven baked fries: Cut washed potatoes into wedges or use sliced mini potatoes. Baking tray with a bit of olive oil, parchment paper optional.

Very lightly season with Montreal chicken/steak spice by La grille / sea salt. Rosemary would be awesome too.

Cheese curds bought at sobeys. They are OK. The best are from St. Lawrence market.

Gravy from a box. Any will do

$6.00 steaks from No frills.

I'm newer to cooking so if this helps someone else, that's good. Pan searing STEAK for the first time can seem scary.
I prefer BBQ, but can't do that indoors in an apartment.

Preheat oven to 250°F
Lightly coat steak in oil, season with salt & pepper. I like Montreal steak spice by La Grille.
Non stick pan medium/ 2/3 heat
Sear front and back. Doesn't take long for smaller cuts of meat like these. Searing seals in The juices from what I understand from hell's kitchen.
Sear the sides of the steak as well.
Toss in the oven for a minute or two.
Bring it out and let it rest. Needs to rest.

It turned out well for a first attempt. Juicy and med. Rare.

Kiewan - invest in a cast iron frying pan (~$30)

check Loblaws on a regular basis for decent steaks that are marked down. You can get 3/4 inch thick 500gm 28-day aged for ~$7-8.
season to taste with freshly ground black pepper & light soy ( sea salt will work too)
let the steak get to room temp ( ~1 hr depending on thickness)

-open all windows in kitchen area & disable the smoke detector
-pre-heat oven to 400F
-lightly coat pan with veggie oil
-heat on high until the oil is smoking
-place steak on pan
- do not turn until the steak is not sticking to the pan (3-4 minutes)
-after turning place pan in oven
-cook for an additional 8 minutes or so
-place steak on plate ; loosely cover with tin foil & rest for 10 minutes
-deglaze pan with couple shots of brandy\whiskey, scrape to get those tasty browned bits off. Place pan back on stove & add 1/3 cup beef stock; season to taste with pepper. Heat until reduced. Finish with butter.

Yeah I'll look into it to elevate my steak game. I moved the steaks to a baking pan with parchment paper to make due with just the non-stick - not oven safe pan I have now. They were still very juicy.

This recipe has been added to my phone :P

First attempt at homemade "crab" sushi.
Not bad.

http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160515/036979161175cad674a6971635cd1254.jpg

Sushi rice - lots of different recipes online - the one I need needs some tweaking

3 cups rice. When just finished cooking the rice ---> add:

3 tablespoons rice vinegar
3 tablespoons sugar
1.5 teaspoons salt - I did 1/2 teaspoon.

The rice is good, but not exactly right. I want to try 2.5 tbl spoons vinegar, 2 sugar and 0 salt next time.

We used some random imitation crab bought at Al Premium. It's the "wrong one" I am told as they were sold out of the good one last time we went. I now have the right kind for use tomorrow.

I am Also making BACON SUSHI for breakfast tomorrow. That should be great. I Will also dice some cucumber tomorrow and add that to the crab sushi.

Not interested in seaweed ATM.

Might go looking for some sushi grade salmon in the future too provided it's not $$$.

Also, can't do any of this without mandatory ginger.

Try it with this Tomato garnish:

-fresh ripest tomato you can find
-juice from pickled hot peppers or pickled jalapenos

slice tomatoes as thinly ( or thick if you prefer) as possible
place in a bowl
drizzle ~30mL of the juice & cover with hot peppers
seal bowl with cling wrap
let it marinate for 30 minutes @ room temp.

things to look for when purchasing a bbq grill

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mUPX-9zkMeA

We tested six gas grills priced under $500 to find the best grill:
Weber Spirit E-310 Gas Grill
Char-Broil Commercial Series 4-Burner Gas Grill
Dyna-Glo 5-Burner Propane Gas Grill with Side Burner and Rotisserie Burner
Nexgrill 4 Burner Liquid Propane Gas Grill
Broil King Baron 440
KitchenAid 3 Burner Gas Grill & Side Burner

It doesn’t matter how powerful a grill is. If it can’t distribute and hold the heat where you want it, your food will suffer.

WINNING TRAITS OF A GOOD GAS GRILL
- Extra flame tamer bars between burners to help spread out heat
- Cast-iron grates, which transfer heat best
- Well-built cookbox with tight-sealing lid and few vents
- Lid that shuts tightly to retain heat and opens wide so smoke isn’t directed toward your face
- Large-capacity cooking grate so food is not crowded
- Sturdy construction

WHAT WE EXAMINED

BURNERS: Gas grills heat via perforated tubes called burners that emit flames when ignited. Grills are described by their number of burners, though we found that this did not correlate with performance or capacity.

GRATES: The grill grates are made of either cast iron or stainless steel.

SIZE OF MAIN COOKING GRATE AND HEAT OUTPUT: Manufacturers typically list the combined total square inches, including warming racks and side burners. More usefully, we list the dimensions of the main cooking grate and how many 4-inch burgers each can fit. Similarly, we only list the BTU (British Thermal Units—a measure of heat output per hour) numbers of the main burner.

FEATURES: Some grills offer more extra features than others.

GRILLING: We grilled hamburgers and steaks over direct heat, looking for distinct grill marks, well-browned crusts, and moist interiors. We mapped the heat pattern of each grill by covering its preheated surface with white bread slices and examining the toast.

INDIRECT COOKING: We prepared pulled pork, keeping the grill at 300 degrees for more than 4 hours. Thermocouples confirmed whether lid thermometers were accurate. We rated the pork on smoky flavor and tender, moist texture.

DESIGN: Grills received higher marks if their designs made it easier to set them up and cook.

DURABILITY: Models that were hard to roll; lost wheels, doors, or other parts; or showed greater wear and tear received lower scores.

CLEANUP: We rated whether grates were easy to scrub clean and whether grills had secure, large grease trays and catch pans that were easy to reach.

Winner: Weber Spirit E-310 Gas Grill

[cwp_sedan]

Or step it up to an S-330. I love mine and it makes me look even better when I cook for other people lol.

Which fuel is best? Gas, propane, or charcoal?

Propane burns the cleanest, doesn't it?

Propane burns the cleanest, doesn't it?


Propane and Natural Gas have a small carbon footprint and are on the low end of the CO2 emissions fuel scale.
Natural gas burns even cleaner than propane, so if you had to give the green edge to one, it would be natural gas.
On the other hand, propane contains more energy than natural gas – propane contains 2,500 BTUs per cubic feet as compared to 1,000 BTUs for natural gas.

Advantage - convenience of being able to fire up the grill and have it @proper temperature in a relatively short time.

Coal - Messy and sometimes tricky in getting the grill up to a proper temp. It will also take a longer time to get the grill to a proper temp too. However the taste it will impart to your food is sublime.

Cheap and cheerful drumsticks

$5.62 from No frills

Preheat oven to 350F

Wash and remove excess fat/any remaining feathers.
Keep skin on.

Baste in whatever is in fridge: Diana sauce & honey garlic sause.
Additional seasoning: Rosemary leaves. (also great for Rosemary fries)

Put in baking pan, cover in aluminum foil

45 min covered, 35ish mins uncovered at a lower temp (add additional Rosemary) - I did 315F

Chicken is juicy, and skin is crispy :)

You may make them differently, I just like them done this way.

Kiewan - Try this with the drumsticks:
- after removing excess fat/feathers; pat dry skin with paper towelling
- salt&pepper to taste
- sprinkle with lemon thyme & winter savoury ( this will give a KFC-like flavour)
- roast in 400F oven for ~25 minutes or until done.
- serve with lemon wedges

[Kiewan]

I have been cooking a lot recently from Gordon Ramsay YouTube videos and a YT channel called tasty.

from Gordon Ramsay I have made:
Pulled pork and smokey Chipotle mayo (pork shoulder)
Sticky ribs (pork loin)
Pork sliders ,cheesy mash w/ broccoli salad (ground beef & pork)

Tasty:
Macha green tea white chocolate cake
Chicken Alfredo
Popcorn chicken/ honey garlic chicken.

It's stuff to try once a week and goes over great when cooking for my family. Also pretty easy, and cost effective. So far so good.

It was all about the sulfites... a preservative they put in shrimp (among other things)

Which means I'm also allergic to alcohol - or so I thought - it all depends how much sulfite is in the food

See the tasty vids on FB

They make it look so easy LOL

How did their recipes taste?
The popcorn chicken called for coating the chicken in a flour & corn starch mix. I subbed corn starch for bread crumbs.

The orange zest sauce called for too much vinegar and rice wine. I left out the vinegar and still found it too tart.

It depends on your tastes. But for the most part really easy to make & simple ingredients.

I made pizza twice today, it was amazing and easier than it looks. YouTube: homemade pizza Margherita by Mario Batali
-another video by Tasty channel

It was great but I made some adjustments: recipe called for 1/4 cup olive oil & 2 tablespoons salt in the dough. This tasted too salty and the dough tasted too much of olive oil.

The second time I made it, I used 1/2 tablespoon salt and a splash of olive oil. It was just right. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170626/bd8ed26430b1c07fb4c734e4350daec2.jpg

More homemade pizza.

Cast iron pan: best kitchen investment ever. $5 garage sale, just needed to clean it up... A lot.

With it at my side, I will elevate my steak game and master the sear once and for all!!https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170706/8cdee1db686020999a82c2c692a0a350.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170706/42e46225445eaa490b3e693d1678f469.jpg
