I made the chana masala tonight. Was great

Overzeetop, in How to Season Cast Iron, Clean, Store, and Make It Last Forever

I’m always surprised that nobody worries about the random long-chain polymers created in the seasoning process which are then released into your food as you cook.

cyborganism,

Can you elaborate? It’s it bad? It’s it a carcinogen? Does it affect the environment like forever chemicals do on non stick pans?

Overzeetop,

Yes, many long chain polymers are carcinogens. That makes them bad. Long chain polymers are what make commercial non-stick pans non-stick. Note: they are different long chain polymers, but still just a bunch of polymer hydrocarbons because…that’s what makes both of them non-stick.

khaliso,

What are the issues of long-chain polymers? Could you elaborate on that?

memfree, in [Recipe] Spiced Cranberry-ginger sauce (good for Turkey, Cocktails, and Veg)

Oh, I’ve also made this with 4-5 dried bay leaves and a dozen juniper berries. I liked the bay leaves in there, but the juniper berries weren’t noticeable except as an unwelcome texture.

Goopadrew, in [Advice] Best portable induction stove to replace gas burners

America’s Test Kitchen does very thorough reviews of lots of kitchen equipment, here’s their review of induction cook tops.

TLDW: duxtop 1800W is good, there are better ones but they’re a lot more expensive

Vodulas, (edited ) in Weekly home menu planning & ChatGPT

I don’t know about a specific one, but i tried via Bing with OK results. It mostly pulled from one source that had 72 recipes, and then a couple from sources it didn’t link to in the body. There were links to the sites used at the bottom, but you would have to search for the specific recipes.

Edit: Well crap. Apparently that link will only work in MS Edge

Eyro_Elloyn, in Beans Are a Vegetable: an Overanalysis

What leafy greens help round out the nutrients beans provide?

Lowered_lifted, in Any Le Creuset fans?

I am wondering if any of the knockoff brand enameled Dutch ovens are as good as the Le Creuset one because I tried my aunt’s once and it was pretty good but I can’t afford that.

Lodge is well liked, and the America’s Test Kitchen folks rated the Cuisinart dutch oven highly, it’s just slightly heavier than Le Creuset.

BlinkerFluid,
@BlinkerFluid@lemmy.one avatar

Lodge is one of the brands Walmart sells that doesn’t fit the mold of anything else in the store.

I wish they’d sell a chef’s knife or some other chef’s knife with vg-10 steel for $50. I’d buy one. Their knives are embarrassing.

I love Emmymade. She seems so nice and upbeat in her videos and she covers so many recipes, most of which are very doable or at least weird and interesting(like her hard times stuff). I also like how normal she is in the kitchen. At this point I dont know how much of it is manufactured to make her more “relatable” and how much are organic kitchen errors but it gives her this very normal enthusiastic person just cooking vibe that I dig.

Ann Reardon is another fave. From her tiny miniature(as in model miniature) house with functional kitchen, to her genuinely good looking recipes, to her popular debunking series. Everything she creates is well researched and well tested.

Jonatan, in [Advice] Best portable induction stove to replace gas burners

I don’t know about the quality or how good they are, but IKEA has some portable induction stoves which seem like really good value.

I have a non-portable ikea stove which was very cheap and works just as expected.

legendarydromedary,
@legendarydromedary@feddit.nl avatar

I recently used an IKEA portable induction stove in an Airbnb, and did not like it at all. It was very powerful, but basically had only two settings: super high or off. You could adjust it, but that would just mean it cycled more often between super high and off

Hawk, in Wine magazine/reviews/blog for vegetarian food?

I guess you don’t find much in magazines because many red wines simply aren’t vegan/vegetarian.

You might have more success specifically looking for vegan wines.

oomphaloompha,

Is red wine not generally seen as vegetarian? I know about it not being vegan, but is there something else I don’t know?

I intentionally left out vegan specifically for the same reason.

I would still be interested, as a lot of foodstuffs are considered vegetarian even if some animal sourced ingredient or agent was used. I’m not a 100% vegetarian in the first place. Mostly, but not a 100%.

I mean, you see a lot of vegetarian food sites etc. still include recipes that use eggs and other ingredients that are animal based or -sourced.

edit: Wow, a surprising amount of wine is not even vegetarian and it isn’t just limited to red wine. I mean as a not-100%er it’s such a miniscule part of it, but damn, will keep in mind in the future. Spirits and beer it is!

edit2: Goddamnit apparently a lot of beers use the same fining agents used with wine. At least my spirits are fine for the vast majority at least.

Asimo, in What do you eat that other people think is odd?

My favourite pizza topping is pepperoni and flaked tuna, the good stuff too so it’s meaty oily tuna.

Love it but so many people think I’m odd for it. The meaty flavours compliment each other!!!

Zelsabriel,

I’m not even sure I need to read the rest of the thread after this comment. You win by default! I guess it makes as much sense as anchovies on pizza though.

frostycakes, in What do you eat that other people think is odd?
@frostycakes@beehaw.org avatar

I love eating a raw potato like an apple, for whatever reason. Any time I’m cooking a dish with potatoes, I’ll wash and peel one for me to eat. My boyfriend looked like I had grown a third arm the first time he saw me do it.

It’s the perfect mix of crunchy and juicy, but not sweet.

Riyria,

Raw potatoes are like semi toxic. Do you not get any GI upset from doing that?

frostycakes,
@frostycakes@beehaw.org avatar

No, never. AFAIK they aren’t toxic, just that the starch is poorly digested. Either way, I’ve never gotten sick from it, so 🤷

It’s odd because I have had digestive issues off and on through the years, but the potatoes have never precipitated it. (It’s mostly anything spicy, which sucks as I love spicy food-- it’s a price I pay willingly sometimes)

verall,

Solanine is a glycoalkaloid poison found in species of the nightshade family within the genus Solanum, such as the potato, the tomato, and the eggplant

Raw potatoes certainly are mildly toxic, it’s not just undigestible starches.

frostycakes,
@frostycakes@beehaw.org avatar

Most home processing methods like boiling, cooking, and frying potatoes have been shown to have minimal effects on solanine levels. For example, boiling potatoes reduces the α-chaconine and α-solanine levels by only 3.5% and 1.2% respectively, but microwaving potatoes reduces the alkaloid content by 15%. Deep frying at 150 °C (302 °F) also does not result in any measurable change.

They’re no more toxic than cooked potatoes, unless you only eat microwaved ones.

Glaive0, in What do you eat that other people think is odd?

Toasted Cinnamon Raisin bagel with peanut butter, cheddar cheese, and bananas. - the cheese + bananas is what gets me looks.

Maeve,

People put mayo on cheese sandwiches and banana sandwiches, so why not?

ISOmorph, in What do you eat that other people think is odd?

Pizza with hollandaise sauce base instead of tomato sauce. My father almost disowned me for it.

Steeve,

I’ve heard of white sauce base, garlic sauce base, hell even bbq sauce base, but hollandaise? The eggs benedict topping?? I’m about to disown you too

ISOmorph,

eggs benedict

Dude, I’m gonna be super controversial right now, just to tick you off…

Doughy base with toppings and sauce? Remind you of anything? What if eggs benedict are just a type of pizza? Ever think about that?
