Tortellini and Cabernet tonight
From a guy who used to work in a liquor store with a dedicated high end wine room. Josh is good stuff.
That looks awesome mate
Forgot to post this last night. I made Nova Scotia Fish cakes. They are a bit of a pain to make since you have to chill them like 3 times throughout the process, but god damn they are good.
I’m down with that, they look lush
Forgot to post this yesterday, but I technically did eat this today also for dinner. A vegetarian version of Lamen, with broccoli and shitake mushrooms and miso stock.
Gonna put this here as this guy cracks me up, he’s from north of England and reviews local takeaways on his YouTube channel
Decided to try my hand at Japanese curry… and cooking with chopsticks… Let’s say I have a new found respect for those that are proficient at doing so and use them to cook often.
Either way, fairly simple and easy.
I did use brown rice and a red potato, both of which probably aren’t very typical to use, I would imagine.
Chopsticks to cook is not easy. But they do help make some real good scrambled eggs
Weather is supposed to be bad this weekend. Since I can’t cook outside, I decided to pull the trigger on an indoor Korean BBQ setup. I didn’t expect it until Sunday, so when my butane stove and grill pan arrived today I had no choice but to cook off some bacon:
Best rule I ever learned to cooking bacon:
“if the bacon is foamy, you’re done homey” - Chef John
Follow up: I already had the butane cannisters for a torch attachment that I used to finish meat cooked in that sous vide tank in the pics above. Total cost on the stove and grill pan was around $53. I want to say I paid around $3-$4 per butane tank when I bought them and they seem to last a good while, and that included shipping. I’m tabbed out looking for asian supermarkets near me because i want to cook this way as often as I can
Buddy does the “drain” hole on the skillet cause any issues?
It’s designed to be used on an open flame like I have above. It hangs over the side so you can angle a dish or whatever you need to catch any drippings. You almost need this specific type stove to allow for that overhang vs. cooking on a normal stove, but there are lots of options without the drain. I was looking for something compatible with the tanks I had most of all.
Edit: i’m a caucasian Polish-American who gets a suburn in the shade, so I’m the furthest thing from an expert on the subject, so if there are better options I’d be open to them. I just love food and saw that this was a common way to replicate Korean BBQ at home. This was my first use with the setup and it’s got me excited for the potential uses
I prefer cast iron to nonstick, once probably seasoned they’re awesome at holding heat and don’t stick they need to be correctly cleaned though ie no soap…the one I used above is probably too large for your stove it’s oblong and I use it on a conventional gas hob over 2 burners (a hot cooking end and a cooler holding end) Amazon have plenty of cast iron pans and skillets some with handles which might suit your use case
I’m probably more insane when it comes to cast iron than I am with headphones. I own just about all the boutique-ZMF equivalent pans, skillets, griddles, and carbon steel I can find and I’d only normally ever consider nonstick for an egg pan. This is 100% intended for the super sticky marinades and sauces KBBQ is known for without sticking and burning. Also reduces smoke too somehow.
Would guess its the sugar that gets burnt. Korean BBQ is delighful, get the party started with that kim chee soup.
