Your shit post has nothing to do with my thread. Howabout you fuck off to the proper thread or better yet kill yourself you retarded assburger?

>>16029

I threw up everywhere. Thanks bro.

>>16029

Nice

>>15853

That's all it takes to make yogurt? I'm buying culture and whole milk next time I'm at the store.

>>13128

Usually I go for something spicy or bitter so I munch on it more slowly. Fruit and vegetables also make good snacks though.

>>16010

I have an air popcorn thingy and it's pretty good but impossible to flavor the popcorn. I like salted popcorn but the salt won't stick and I don't want to pour butter over it. Any tips?

>>16023

There are a few options:

>Add just enough oils to make popcorn sticky

I assume they are out of the picture, since you do not want to add butter. Usually it does not take much oil, tablespoon or two per 2 liter bowl of popcorn.

>Spray on spices

They are just spices in a form of a spray. Most commonly they are spice oils or spices suspended in alcohol.

>Salt and whatever other spices you like, ground into a very fine powder

Grocery stores in the U.S. carry popcorn salt and spice mixes. They are all very fine powders and stick to popcorn pretty well without the need for any fats or liquids. Not sure if they have them in Germany, but you could probably get similar results by grinding coarse salt in a specialized spice grinder - preferably electric one since they generally can produce the finest powders. In case they are not easily available in Germany, coffee grinder, blender, or enough time with mortar and pestle should do the trick as well. You want something about as fine ground as powdered cinnamon.

>Wet salt

Get your salt moist enough for it to become sticky, but not wet.

Personally, I go with oil or powder route. Spray on spices are relatively expensive and a bit chore to coat popcorn well with, and I have not tried wet salt approach when it comes to popcorn.

>>16025

I usually go with the powder myself, paprika is pretty thin and is a nice flavor for salty snacks.

Ovens are nice for the winter when it doubles as a heater, but ovens are awful in the summer for the same reason. My neighbor almost exclusively uses a slow cooker in the summer.

It's also harder to burn stuff in a slow cooker, which is great when leaving it unattended for several hours.

I always wondered about these+pressure cookers. Does an instant pot basically cover all the bases, do I just buy that?

>>15916

Yes, but… Instant pots seem to universally have computerized controls.

It's still possible to buy older design, dumb technology slow cookers, with an off/low/high power switch… the very same type that has lasted forever (I've seen 40+ year old units that still work great, just have a color that's no longer fashionable).

If you always intend to cook for 3+ hours, just get a slow cooker.

If you might want it to go faster or you might want the fancier controls, then consider the instant pot.

Slow cookers are still great for loading with ingredients in the morning, turning on, and having hot food in the afternoon… but with the schedule of modern life pushing the "workday" from 8 hours up to 12, the computer controls delaying the start time may be desirable.

Also consider something like a hotlogic, where there is a brain (so not just open loop temp control), but it's not too likely to go wrong.

>>15916

Instant pots have a slow cook setting, so it would cover all the bases. In fact, I ended up getting a second one because they're so versatile, so now I can cook two things at once like chicken or beans in one pot and rice or potatoes in the other.

>there are people who still care about restaurants

Cook everything yourself, retards. If you're the type of subhuman who subsists on eating out only, you deserve to starve.

There are no restaurants or bars left in Seattle! And now with the head tax, all the Albertsons and Safeways are gone!

HIGH MIN WAGE MAKES ECONOMY MORE TRANSPARENT, AND THAT IS GOOD.

CURRENTLY, THE TAXPAYER IS SUBSIDIZING HIRING A LOT OF WETBACKS FOR FAST FOOD, LEAF BLOWING AND MOTEL MAIDS.

THE WETBACK MAKES $10 BUT GETS ANOTHER 20-30 IN WELFARE FOR HIS FAMILY FROM TAXPAYERS.

PLUS, FAST FOOD, LEAF BLOWING AND MOTELS ARE ALL BAD FOR THE ENVIRONMENT AND HEALTH IN GENERAL.

FAT ASSES, DUST BLOWN INTO AIR AND NOISE, AND BED BUGS AND HOOKERS.

BROWN BAG IT, LET THE FUCKING LEAFS ROT FOR A BIT, AND STAY HOME.

WHEN I WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL I VISITED A NAVY MESS HALL AT NEARBY BASE WITH NAVY BRAT FRIEND.

I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE NICE AND EFFICIENT IF THE GOVT DID SOMETHING SIMILAR FOR CIVILIANS. JUST BASIC SLOP FREE FOR THE TAKING, SO YOUR AVERAGE JOE AND HIS WIFE DOESN'T NEED TO SPEND AN HOUR A DAY ON COOKING AND CLEANING, AND HAVING 1/2 THE FOOD ROT ANYWAYS. BUY IN BULK AND ALL THAT SHIT.

>>3307

I live in Seattle. It is THE worst food city in the world. I used to live in a town 25,000 and they had better food than this. Also, this is an old article.

>inb4 move

tech job is holding me hostage

>>15602

I've seen worse. I saw one chef on the Food Network top a store-bought cake with Corn nuts and other random shit, but she still called it homemade.

>>15602

Better than Sandra Lee at least.

>>15602

I like him for the visuals and the ideas, mostly. I haven't recreated any of his recipes.

LOWER AND THE SKIN WONT CRISP, HIGHER AND THE FAT BURNS AND RUINS GRAVY.

CAKE MIX SAYS 350. NUFF SAID. SAYS 325 FOR NON-STICK CAKE PAN BUT I USE 350 BECAUSE IT GIVES BETTER RANGE OF FLAVOR.

SOME SAY USE ABOUT 450 OR 500 FOR PIZZA BUT 350 WORKS GOOD TOO.

>>15245

I assume to make things retard-proof. The higher the temperature, the more likely you can burn the outside of a dish while leaving the inside under-cooked. Not like it matters when there's always retards who think doubling the heat (if your oven can even get that hot) will cook something twice as fast.

>>15864

>no webm

>no link

>this guy

what a quality 4chan thread.

I made this recipe, embed related, a couple years back and it was fantastic. Skip to 2:36 for the sauce.

>>15823

or rather, I didn't MAKE it; I attempted it and it turned out great. I will use that sauce for anything barbecue in the future

Coleman's dry mustard. If dry mustard is mixed with cold water it does a chem reaction and gets that hot nose clearing quality. If mixed with HOT water the mustard will be "mild".

I use molasses instead of brown sugar.

Use tomato paste for 1/2 ketchup for thicker sauce.

>>15057

idk about the cabbage, I might rather make a coleslaw or something with it instead. Everything else sounds like it would be bretty gud. Try it and tell us how it goes.

>>15057

That sounds delicious and nutritious. I wanted a staple highly nutritious slow cooker stew recipe.

>>15057

put some leek and spring onions and put some other spice instead of just fucking paprika

Yogurt, smoothies–

>cooking

Oh. Well then, bake brotein bread. All I can think of.

Well, whey powder is a major ingredient in the flavor packet of boxed macaroni and cheese,

so you might try adding it to a cheese sauce.

is it flavoured? i mean, that could make a big difference in how it could be used.

<vanilla dusted poached eggs

yea nah.

try it on popcorn. if it's unflavoured then just add whatever seasoning you'd normally use on popcorn. but even vanilla/chocolate popcorn would be nice.

can't think of anything right now. still trying to figure out why the mod at cuckchannel is killing the boadr over there.

>>15788

They’re working in kahootz with the discord trannies

I was banned for a fucking month for literally nothing and they said I broke the law yet never sent me an email explanation

I use this recipe I found on the naked whey site:

- 15g (1 scoop) protein powder

- 2 bananas, mashed

- 2 eggs, beaten

- random bullshit like cinnamon and nutmeg

I like to mash the bananas, then add the eggs, then add the whey. The pancakes themselves are less structured than normal pancakes, so be prepared to either make a bunch of tiny flippable pancakes or put a lid on your pan and cook all the batter at once on low instead of medium.

Worst case, you have a hell of a time flipping it and decide to chop it into little pieces with your spatula to make sure it's cooked on all sides, like trying to make an omelet, failing, and settling for scrambled eggs instead.

Keto is a meme diet. Tried it for four months and got fatty liver disease. Never again.

>>15408

That's pretty much impossible. You either didn't do keto, or are just lying. Keto is one of the best treatments for fatty liver there is. The only thing better is extended fasting.

>>15408

No you didnt. Keto is the *treatment* for fatty liver disease.

>>15777

For some that might be the case. Looks like there are people who can't tolerate keto. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3679496/

>>14916

eat an apple if you need something sweet but not apple juice since the fibers and other shit prevent you being retarded and eat a lot of fucking meat, meat's savory taste better than sweetest of foods

>>15726

>puts you in ketosis without the carb cutting

Lol no. Beta-hydroxybutyrate is one type of ketones that your body produces during ketosis. The others being aceton and acetoacetate. If you want to lose weight you want your body to transform fat into ketones. Would it make sense to eat ketones? No.

The supplements are expensive as fuck. Don't waste your money on them. Don't eat more than 25g of carbs and your good. If you work out a lot you can even eat up too 100g of carbs and still stay in ketosis.

>>15726

>long ago

>doesn't know what QTDDTOT is

Doubt

>>15726

They dont put you in ketosis, they just raise your serum ketone levels. Going into ketosis by carb reduction triggers a whole host of hormonal changes, the ketone production is a result of a few of these. Raising ketone levels artificially is a bad case of confusing cause and effect, and a great way to separate fools from their money.

>>15778

Yes, as far as general health goes, exogenous ketones and mct oil is largely useless, especially outside of an already ketogenic diet, though they may help with certain neurological issues that respond directly to the presence of ketones, such as seizures or Parkinson's disease. Even then, you would probably still be on a ketogenic diet, and using exogenous ketone sources for an extra boost.

These are actually really delicious. there's almond and there's peanut, and I prefer the peanut.

They keep you feeling pretty full for a while. A good snack.

i approve of grass jelly :)

Why? It’s gook shit
