Yeah, like I said, on second thought it's not what i thought... Still, 4 is a lot where I come from. Also, I haven't had anything with ice cubes at home for five months, since the freezer compartment of the fridge where I live now doesn't actually, y'know, freeze things properly.getrhythm wrote:Big?

OH OH, but it's the most awesome ice tray ever. Little poppy rubber things at the bottom so they pop out easily. Bright green. The cutest.

Typically, American iced tea is made to be diluted. It is very strong. Stronger than we make our tea for the cup to be drunk hot.Colonel Kurz wrote:Iced tea? Or just regular tea that always goes cold very quickly?
Thus, we put ice in it to chill it mightily!
Interestingly, once when I was in Minnesota I wanted a nice glass of iced tea with lunch, and our server screwed up her face when I ordered "iced tea." She asked, "You mean frozen tea? We don't have that." I explained, "No. It's tea with ice cubes in it." Her face brightened as it dawned on her what I was asking for, and she said, "Oh! You mean cold tea." I said, "Yes. I want cold tea for lunch."
Only place I've ever heard it called anything other than iced tea. Sometimes people drop the 'd' and just call it ice tea.

Re: This Is The Cooking Thread.
Yeah, but you folks seem to put copious amounts of ice in most soft drinks...
The only ice tea we have over here is of the Lipton variety, and competing brands. Color me surprised when I ordered an ice tea for the first time in America (in Memphis) and the waitress asked me "Sweet or unsweet". I had no idea what I was talking about, and asked what the difference was. She said they added sugar. Or not, obviously. Still thinking of Lipton Ice Tea, which we over here just call ice tea most of the time, I thought that adding sugar was just weird, since it was already a flavored, sweetened drink to begin with, and ordered the 'unsweet' variety. Little did I know that this was just cold tea... I grew accustomed to it over the years on my three visits to the States, but still... it was a strange experience.

This thread has far too few posts. Maybe it's because it's called cooking thread and not eating thread. Cooking is fun, but eating food is so much better. I'll eat anything if I'm hungry, but definitely appreciate all food there is. If you do it well, I certainly notice and compliment you. Come cook for me!

Re: This Is The Cooking Thread.
Can we have a discussion about stove top salmon preparation? I was going for crispy skin but it appears I overshot and ended up closer to burned on the outside raw in the middle. Now, I'm doing japanese style so there is a marinade/sauce, but I'm wondering which would be the better plan for next time: go with lower temps overall and once the the second side looks nicely browned add a little sauce and drop the heat even further, and possibly a lid on the pan to get that steam action going to bring the interior to where I want it? or get the first side nice and crispy and then flip and slide the whole thing into the oven 325 degress or so restaurant trick style to get the second side brown and cook the interior at the same time? Or, you know, completely different techniques, whatever you got, bring it on.

I want to know this too. I tried to make pan-seared salmon tonight and it just ended up sticking and falling apart. It wasn't the best quality fish (previously frozen) so that probably had something to do with it but still, meh. I like to cook salmon in a foil packet with seasonings and a little liquid (white wine, lemon, and herbs, or tomatoes, garlic, and artichokes). Never fails to come out moist and flavorful, but I do miss the crispy skin.Evil Prevails wrote:Can we have a discussion about stove top salmon preparation?

Could be pan issues, cause whilst I know my salmon issues come down to temperature control, it did all come out in one perfect piece. I have a non stick with like a ... textured bottom on it. I think that combined with a splash of oil and a good hot start (not as high as I went obviously) should crisp up the skin faster than it can stick to the pan.Orpheline wrote: I want to know this too.

I think so. My pan is really sticky. I thought I had it hot enough and oily enough but I guess not. I need to get a good non-stick one because my scrambled eggs keep ending up shitty too.Evil Prevails wrote:

I gave it a go again yesterday and it turned out much better. I used my same nonstick pan and a splash of oil, but I was more restrained with the the throttle as far as stove top temperature, keeping more in the 6-7 range as opposed to 7-8, and I did do skin side first for a good 3-4 minutes before I peaked, and then roughly the same on the flesh side which got me nice color and char like I was looking for, but the middle looked a little suspect and I decided that the skin could handle a little more heat so I flipped it back to skin side and put the whole pan in the oven at 325 for 5 minutes or so, and then put it back on the stovetop and added my reserve marinade and let that thicken up and reabsorb into the fish for forty five seconds or so. A bit convoluted a process perhaps, but the results? Magnifique.
I hope this has been as riveting for everyone else as it was for me.

Re: This Is The Cooking Thread.
The way I spelled it out in my post it may seem that way, but it was srsly delightfully moist and tender and succulent, nice good sear on the outside and just right up to that line between undercooked and cooked just enough in the center. They were rather wide filets and my stovetop may be underpowered, so much of it comes down to eye and feel and knowing just when to stop. I'm a rare steak guy and an err on sashimi side when it comes to seafood, so I don't think I'm a fish overcooker, and a 325 oven, I mean, you can't even make brownies at the temperature, it's the temperature equivalent of a firm talking too, which is what my filets needed at that point.Oaktown wrote:You must like your fish cooked a lot more than I do.

Re: This Is The Cooking Thread.
Let's talk pork chops.
I've been trying for the life of me to get these to actually have some kind of interesting flavor, of all the really well known cuts of meat, pork chop has to be the hardest to give some kind of interesting flavor..
Somethings I've found useful though
Chilli/BBQ-based rubs, not just throwing barbecue sauce on it, but mixing your own mix of spices, and making a sauce for it with some kind of other sauce or liquid to soak the meat in before cooking it.
Apples are a good flavor to compliment porkchops, with some kind of ground of mixed orange flavors to compliment, but I've got mixed results out of smoking them, grilling them just doesn't give it enough time to soak in the mix, but baking them seems to work best for that route so far. It's a bit too mild a flavor for the effort though, to me.
Yet in the end, I think I'd prefer any other cut of meat to a pork chop. Tend to have a better natural flavor, and they take in seasoning/rub/sauce/etc better.

Brine them, dude. Do that for twenty four hours, then go whatever kind of flavor profile you want, or just natural, but get double cut porkchops (more meat = better) and then brine that shit for a day, it's a life changer.

Re: This Is The Cooking Thread.
This is of interest to me, because beef has absolutely no flavor for me unless it is rare, or marinated and then slathered in some sort of flavored sauce. But pork chops on their own have a likable flavor, to me. That is, unless they are baked too long and become dry.Das ƒloyd wrote:Let's talk pork chops.

Mmmm, that apple suggestion sounds really good. I like both pork chops and baked apples.

I don't cook or grill much, so I can't offer any suggestions concerning preparation, but I found your statement, "pork chop has to be the hardest to give some kind of interesting flavor," to be intriguing! Best of luck with your future experiments.

You should make my Italian salsa rouge. Grape tomatoes, shallots, basil, olive oil, lemon juice, and balsamic. Feta if you are feeling extra special.

I don't have much else to offer unfortunately, haven't had too much for cooking/new discoveries.

I make a variation on it for everything I make. Jalapeno and cilantro for mexican, tarragon and capers for fish, red pepper and artichoke hearts for ... something else. It's the best.Philosophe rouge wrote: that sounds delicious. WANT in my belly.

I made a sort of white bean & diced onion salad with olive oil, white wine vinegar, a bit of dijon mustard, lemon juice, rosemary, basil, parsley, & thyme for lunch today. Simple & quite yummy. Nothing extravagant or creative, though.

Re: This Is The Cooking Thread.
I humbly approach you, O Corrierino, in the hopes that someone might aid my plight. I am prepping for a big Christmas dinner, mostly looking for side dish ideas -- lately my goal has ballooned out to making this as extravagant as possible, but I serve to a picky family and they're traditionalists at heart, so kicking out an old mainstay for a fresh taste is a no-go. On the plus side, we're all atheists and celebrate it as a commercial and familial holiday than a Hooray, Jesus Was Born! type of deal, so we're considering some sacrilegious options that I think sound fun.
Here's what the menu kinda sorta looks like at this point.

Re: This Is The Cooking Thread.
That sounds like so much great food already! So I am mostly suggesting things that will work well as leftovers if necessary.
I love all manner of roasted vegetables so I'll go ahead and suggest brussels sprouts (with maybe shallots or pancetta or both!), roasted beets and/or roasted carrots. The candy cane beets in particular look really festive and pretty.
Another option might be to do a root vegetable soup of some kind? Maybe a parsnip or celeriac soup. I make a celeriac soup with a little gruyere and it makes my kitchen smell like heaven!
A gratin might be nice too. Works well with winter root vegetables and here again, I use cheese (instead of all cream) but that's just because I think cheese makes everything better.

You could make your corn muffins Christmasy (and spicy!) by adding diced red and green chiles

Re: This Is The Cooking Thread.
Will that boiled corn still be on the cob? Can you even get that in December?
My mom has, for years, made some variant of sweet potatoes: either just boil them until soft, pour a lot of marshmallows atop them in a casserole and brown in the oven, or some elaborate recipe that she found in Southern Living that includes whipping cream, pecans and spices. Both are very good. Go great either with turkey or ham, and especially go great with you teeth.

I'm making Boneless short ribs with the sauce mixture from:Evil Prevails wrote:What's everyone been making lately? I need some inspiration.

with a few modifications, I want to cook the sauce before hand, and smoke it with half of the mixture on it while cooking, then put the rest on afterwards.
