That description gave me existential dread

 

that’s my goal to try all the weird stuff

 

If you are cooking with that boxed Chicken/Beef Stock...you need to switch to Better than Boullion IMMEDIATELY. Price is about the same, but with the BTB, that dollar is stretched like crazy. For 1 quart of water, add 1.5 tablespoons of this sludgy delicousness and you will never go back to that boxed junk...

 

last night’s shrimp scampi from a bon appetit recipe. trying to get these cooking skills leveled up in 2020 and this might be one of my favorite things I’ve done recently.

 

nice. i made a Tasty bulgogi recipe last week and it came out dope.

 

Christina from BA made a broccoli Reuben and I used it as inspiration for a clean the fridge meal. Did a spicy mayo, mozzarella, roasted broccoli green onion, and fried egg. Roasted some honey nut squash (another thing I bought bc of BA) as a side. Super easy and really good.

 

This stuff is great, and for vegans there's options as well. My aunt turned me on to the stuff (she's vegan) and I couldn't believe the umami levels she was able to get in her dishes with this stuff.

 

This looks incredible

 

that location tag “Do Not Eat Here”

 

I made oyster stew for my grandparents today and it turned out pretty good. my grandpa’s family always had it on his parents’ anniversary growing up, and he seemed pretty pleased with my version of it (had two full bowls and one top off of oysters cause he had “extra” broth), even if he thinks black pepper is spicy and I threw a couple red chili flakes in there.

 

Any recs on relatively cheap meat thermometers?

 

instant read?

 

Yeah probably, nothing too fancy.

 

I dont know how cheap you wanna go but these are great and extremely accurate.

I have the OXO Good Grips one you can get at amazon and BBBY and it works great for me. $20.

 

I did a homemade chicken noodle soup, but used Pho noodles, added a bit of soy and topped with green onions...came out tasting great and felt more asian than the traditional american version, which I'm not a huge fan of.

 

I've used this one for a couple years and love it...https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07GWGTJRQ/?tag=absolutepunk-20...only $14

 

I know this thermometer is expensive(I got it for $75) but its great to have when I do bbq since its super fast and accurate and also lights up.

Also depends on what you'll use it for...if you are cooking a roast, or something in the oven for an extended period of time, maybe look into a probe style thermometer with an alarm...this one is cheap and has great reviews.

Thermoworks thermometers are the best. We use them at my job (work in food manufacturing) and they’re very accurate/last forever.

 

Thanks for the input everybody! I will be using it mostly for meat I cook in the oven so I don't need anything too crazy and these are all great suggestions.

 

Had my first meal cooked with the gf since moving in last night and it was surprisingly good! Made some delicious burgers, sauteed up some mushrooms, added swiss and made a quick sauce based on what we had in the fridge (mayo, mustard). Simple but delicious. Cooked the burgers in my cast iron which gave them a nice browning.

Next week we wanna try a spam and egg burger.

 

When cooking burgers in a pan, I've found that pouring a little beer in the pan with the patties can really help the flavor too :)

 

Ahhh wish I had known this since we were drinking a beer while cooking! At what point during cooking do you do this?

 

sounds awesome. Cast iron makes the best burgers.
