The Cooking Thread

Nice food!

My favorite food is steak, especially rib eye. The perfect ribeye for me is seasoned with salt and pepper, rested for about an hour. Then pan fried and finished with butter garlic and thyme.

Steak is so easy to cook and make incredible with some practice once your timing and heat is dialed in.

My two favorite methods for steak are the pan fry



and the caveman

My pressure cooker gets a lot of use during the cold months.

Pork and beans is incredibly easy. porkandbeans.jpg

Cooking is an essential skill that everyone should know how to do.

Sure, but I applaud those that are late starters for whatever reason. It's never too late to learn.

I have been home cooking for decades and decades. I never go out and I make EVERY meal by scratch for the most part. I do not buy package things unless I have to. That said, OP please stop using non-stick pans, they are TERRIBLE for your health. Otherwise, great thread. And yes as someone else said, cooking is an essential skill (that many do not have).

Non stick is fine as long as you are not going above 400 degrees or scratching the teflon off with metal utensils.

Source? When I looked that up I found:

The bottom line
Teflon is a brand name for a synthetic chemical used to coat cookware. There are concerns that chemicals once used in the manufacturing process of Teflon could potentially increase cancer risk. Those chemicals have not been used in Teflon products since 2013.

Today’s Teflon is considered to be safe cookware. There’s no evidence that it increases the risk of developing cancer.

Asian stir fry tonight. Marinated chicken thigh, broccoli, onion, carrot, chili peppers, bok choy and shirataki noodles. Soy sauce and, as always, a shit ton of garlic.

Looks good. If you want to mix it up sometime, try going to an Asian supermarket and getting Yakitori sauce. It can replace your soy sauce (and you can probably go with less garlic too), and you'll get a flavor that's sweeter, but not as sweet as teriyaki.

I lived in Japan for 5 years, so I love me some yakitori. First thing I did when I moved to the Netherlands was find my local Asian market.

Get yourself a smoker - Its a lot of fun (albeit time consuming and a little expensive)
