OT: The Food & Drinks Thread (Part 5)

[yianik]

I love grilling, and will not eat a steak at home unless its cooked on the BBQ.

Used to be like that about burgers. But at some point I fried up some burgers in a pan and really liked them. I think its because when you grill, all the fat drips away, where as in a pan, it does not. So fried burgers are really juicy, and tasty.

Thoughts ?

Big fan of the pan ,prefer it. Make a huge batch and freeze them and nuke them properly when in a rush.
I always make a penade and season it with some Worcestershire sauce.

Just like the Habs, I prefer pizza to tuna Tatar!

Always love me some homemade Baklava

Why not have the best of both worlds and try this fusion

I always preach to wear shoes when prepping/cooking, but now must amend that to emphasize proper footwear! Had a mishap due to my haste in getting ceviche and some tapas ready and not changing to proper footwear and inadvertently dropped the chefs knife and it plummeted piercing and gouging a beloved Italian calfskin driving moccasin, Salvatore, ti prego perdonami! Made a mess of a few toes as well but a fairly easy cleanup and a little medi-glue sufficed. Thankfully the marble floor was unscathed but had to seek out a competent cobbler. Although it was repaired rather skillfully, I can still see it if others do not, if that makes any sense.

Things are crazy on our forum! People need to start finding common ground... Food and drinks! Hope everyone is well! Making grilled cheese sandwiches out of my favorite cheese tonight. They are going along with some homemade vegetable soup! 7 year old cheddar from Quebec! Best cheddar ever in my books!

Looks pretty well done, curious how you learnt to do it. Any issues with the rice? that's usually the trickiest part for those that are not all that familiar with it.

The rice, I made with a rice cooker. Even asian people now a days use them all the time. Makes it for perfect rice every time.
Make sure you rince rice 3 to 4 times before cooking as it has tons of starch(?). Also when you are rolling, have a bowl of water next to you so the rice doesn't stick on your hands, but also put some rice vinegar in the water. This way you're not puting blend water taste on the rice while you are spreading it on the nori. Never press the rice to hard on the nori, you want air between the rice grains for a fluffy pleasant texture!

Oh and to finish, how I learned? I have an obsessive passion for cooking and learning. My girlfriend loves it as much as she hates it lol. Mom was a chef, dad owned restaurants. Grew up in a kitchen. Tastes are pretty good but the cooking struggle is presentation. I'm very visually creative in my head but once materialised it ends up as a hit and miss...

Love non BBQ steaks.
Dry that steak, alot.
Fusion hot cast iron pan or regular pan. Avocado or grape seed oil. Scorch that mf. Baste last 90-120 seconds with a slab of butter, whole garlics, thyme and rosemary.
Rest.

Favorite cut lately but too pricy, hanger steak!

I put a skillet on the grill at the same time because I find basting with butter and herbs just makes it perfect.
I grill it for a few minutes, then put it in skillet with the butter and herbs to baste. Best of both worlds.

I grill my burgers. If I use a pan, I cook them in bacon fat.

Steaks on charcoal briquettes I understand

otherwise grill/pan fry just for seal and then in the oven

ps bacon in the oven is the only way to go

Fantastic!

I rarely do Tandoori Chicken (nearly always drumsticks) because that's a lot of time and operations involved for, well, non smoked, marinated chicken. But that's really good, and yogourt can be used as a marinade base for many different applications. Except jerk-type. Doesn't work well at all.

My grilling/BBQ game got significantly better once I started brining the longer cooking pieces.

I use a pair of crocs, named after that red haired chef (Batali) who is paying a lot (600,000) to women for sexual harassment. They have real soles with non slippery material unlike other crocs. Yes, if you have the right sort of footwear it helps when standing a lot. Btw, he is not fat anymore so maybe he will live longer?

I got a good deal for a Breville sauté pan, it is 200 but I got it from Woot for 75, just got it today. Might as well get the rest. I have really good and expensive knives but I only have 2 decent pans.

It is on sale at Amazon as well but there is still a 50 dollar difference.

Was fortunate to be spoiled by some fresh caught swordfish caught that morning that was perfectly done. Even was able to get my hands on a few steaks from the man for later consumption

Shit luck or what, but another recent mishap when opening one of the freezer doors, have vertical freezers, and some leftover bacon that was frozen somehow slid out and and with the accuracy of a knife thrower and maimed the same frikin toes! Was shoe-less at the time but will consider wearing my klumpen from now on. Great for the fields and that but what a racket on the floorsUsually I just wear whatever that has good grip and closed but getting to the point of finding a suit of armor in my size.
