I'm guessing i'm having a hard time with the SS mainly because my stove temperature knob's adjustment is like a game of Russian Roulette.

Yes, yes it is :drool:

you could at least be humane and kill them first

Still kinda drooling over psyber_0ptix' last post. The past few days have been consistently below freezing here. Picked up some ingredients last night on the tail-end of an 8 mile walk from Avondale to downtown (hitting both Sears & Hancock) and back. Some rail transit was involved in the process. https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...daea346f88.png I think we can all see where this is going. Just a quick sidebar. Picked up a second nice knife about a month ago. Enough time has elapsed that it is ready to be properly praised. https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...7a8f0e4f32.png Great paring knife. It glides through the skin on bell peppers like it's nothing. Got it at Target for around $10. Anyway... https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...bcb99c6e19.png https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...1e17e8da28.png https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...96bb7b839b.png https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...8a7e23277d.png The slow-cooker is on low. Gonna let it boogie for 5-6 hours while I do domestic stuff. |

Joojeh kabob (the chicken) and the basmati is pretty bomb with some saffron. Also Tadik with lavash |

Forgot to take pictures of the final dish but here are crappy cell shots of my DIY sous vide cooker. 70 $CAD of well invested money.
Those are flank steak in a Jack Daniel's marinade which cooked 5h at 60C. They then got pat dry and seared with a MAP torch. https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...9440662c6a.jpg https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...f5b8ff320a.jpg |

my saffron is old. I might try it some day anyway. I need to dial in my basmati game. I tend to get it a little mushy and I really prefer when it's loose and a little more al dente. I'm a bread failure. I might give it a try again now that oven heat isn't going to melt me. Tadik is that crusty bottom of the pan rice thing, right? |
Tonight's dinner was good. Not good as in a "Haute Cuisine / Braineack posting photos of expensive food" sense, more as in a "FUCK YEAH, 'MERICUH!" sense. https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...c8efcfbc43.png Gonna spare everyone the J. Peterman on this one and just go straight to the recipe. Cole Slaw: In a large bowl, mix:
* = the kind where literally the only ingredient on the side of the jar is "Peanuts." No salt, no sugar, no palm oil, just peanuts. Yes, the oils separate and rise to the stop. Stir it, you lazy shithead. ** = As usual, I use Truvia brown sugar blend I found it necessary to heat this all in the microwave oven for 90 sec to get the peanut butter down to a low enough viscosity to mix well with everything else. After that, I refrigerated the concoction for about an hour before proceeding. Separately, prepare in a much larger bowl:
At the last minute, pour the sauce mix over the dry ingredients, toss in a handful of roasted, lightly salted cashew halves, and mix well. Burger: Bake two slices of thick-cut bacon on a roasting rack at 425° for about 20 minutes. Cook a 1/4 - 1/3 lb beef patty as per your preference. Toast the bun. Assemble, from bottom to top:
Just utterly delicious. |
Ah, PB&J bacon burger. It's been a while. Lovely indeed.
|
Good technique for great flavor. Minimalist approach Japanese style

It is one of those deals where you boil your meat in a bag and serve it. Rather soulless compared to a grill if you ask me.

Nothing refrain you from finishing it on the grill also |
That seems a lot more complicated than doing a reverse-sear on the steak, what's the point?
I think I posted it a few pages back, but I go to Whole Foods or the local butcher and buy big thick, crazy marbled NY Strips. Oven at 250 or 225 for like 20 minutes. Remove steak into a screaming hot skillet and seat each side for 30-40 seconds. Med-rare goodness. |
