Mc nuggets first time ever having these bad boys and probably my last time,itâs as well my taste is gone.
Fuxk I put on 20lbs since I got sick
For cooking meat I really enjoy reading Meathead Goldwynâs site amazingribs.com, itâs good for all things meat imo. If youâre the type who likes getting into the science of cooking, the aforementioned Kenji Alt-lopez is really good, and he writes on serious eats. But the absolute bible of science and cooking is a book called âOn food and Cookingâ by Harold McGee.
Itâs not a cookbook, there are no recipes, but it has information about just about anything you could possibly wonder about in food and itâs all from a very scientific perspective. Itâs the best reference book for cooking Iâve ever seen and I think used copies can be found for 10-20 bucks online.
For meat, moisture is mostly about how long it cooks for (cooking a long time will make it drier, thatâs why for something like a really moist steak itâs cooked very briefly), and how fatty the cut is.
For chicken, itâs easier to keep meat from a fatty cut like the thigh than it is a lean cut like breast; for pork, a tenderloin has to be handled carefully to be kept moist but a belly or shoulder cut is naturally moist from the fat running through it. The nice cuts of steak tend to have a good amount of fat and little connective tissue (like ribeye and porterhouse).
Sorry if Iâm rambling, I hope itâs helpful, at least some of the stuff I mentioned is free, but I do want to emphasize that it looks like youâre cooking with a lot of tasty stuff and I do think based on what youâve said that you will only continue to improve as a cook!
Youâll figure it out. A meat thermometer is essential. I like my chicken and my pork slightly overdone and I like my beef rare. I take a lot of shit for this but itâs the way I like it.
With a thermometer it almost cooks itself.
I like my beef
Well done⌠wife
Likes hers medium
Iâm ready for a good meal
Those actually look good
Thatâs the only way to do it wrap that lady in bacon fillet to lean by itself I think
Their kinda sketchy my wife brought them home from workâŚthereâs no burger places near me unless I ride across the city I love Carlâs Jr
But I only get them as a treat
Been a member of that site for years. Have never used the forum once though haha. His book is good too, Heâs supposedly in the process of writing a second. Another good series of books is the Modernist Cuisine ones. Thereâs now a set for bread and pizza but I havenât read either of those because I canât find any decent downloads and theyâre way too expensive Ton of good info in the first set though and easy to download online. I might have to revisit them myself to try to absorb more info a second time around.
Wish I could reply with the same passion as you have.
I am.indebted to my.fiance a big meal tomorrowâŚsteaks / potatoes (may try mashed as she loves them -) and hopefully some greens âŚmaybe a baguette with some butter.
Donât want to mess up the steaks. My favourite are pan fried sirloin or strip caps?
I get the butcher to cut them
Will check back for a mashed.potatoes (garlic maybe)
Iâm off to bed my friend
Again. Apologize for not being as *rambling as you !)
Your a great forum member and person I can imagine.
Thanks
Mongolian beef over rice,used Chuck roast was on sale lol sliced thin dipped in some flour with salt and pepper before frying
I love Chuck roast
If you never had a Chuck eye steak you never lived lol better than any ribeye,you can only take 3 steaks off a Chuck roll
Gonna take a butcherâs word on this one. I donât eat red meat too often, but youâve given me meat goals. That looks delicious.
Homemade habanero chili hot sauce! most of the peppers were grown by me. I did top up a few store bought for the recipe though.
