Impossible...you could sear both sides then microwave till centre is cooked to your liking but totally in a microwave....impossible
Tried a sous vide cryo seared steak. Twas amazing.
>>713390725
>>713390792
go to any restaurant you want to work at
ask to speak to the owner or chef, sometimes the same person
bring your resume
tell them you will work your ass off to learn how to cook
it's a long hard road but worth while
Heat a pan until very hot. Add oil. Sear steak. Add butter, thyme and garlic. Continue cooking. Use spoon to put butter on top of steak while its cooking. Let it rest for half the cooking time. Sear it again with a blow torch. Add coffee butter on top.

He's referencing Gordon Ramsay you stupid cunt lol
Ok serious question I admire what you do, but how do you know how a steak is cooked by just touching it.
so sorry for the stupid questions but what is your most delicous dish involving truffle oil and how can i make really good restaurant quality pizza myself?
>>713394590
Not op but that's easy use bread flour for good Pizza crust.
>>713390330
I saw a vid of Ramsey making a beef wellington
I have some cooking experience...do you think this is difficult to do?
I want to make it for Christmas but I don't know where to find that particular cut of beef.
>>713394052
curry can be a very complex combination of ingredients and spices. I would youtube some top Indian chefs and find out how they do it.

Not op either but if you can manage the cancer, buzzfeed did a $-$$$ pizza episode and the latter involved truffle at a very profitable price. I'd suggest skipping to the end and taking notes
>>713394729
Go into a butcher shop, ask for a cut used for beef wellington, pay the man, make the food.
>>713395049
I don't think there is a proper butcher in this entire city. Will have to go to Zehrs
>>713394990
Use fresh ingredients
how do i properly cook fish? im honestly just using some cheap ass fish like some...wild salmon? dont know the name in english, but i wanna know how to cook it properly.

How can you call it a city if there isn't a butchers shop?
>>713394729
>beef wellington
>difficult?
If you have to ask, it's too difficult. Practice makes perfect, though. Use a pork loin for practice; that cut is much cheaper and you won't feel awful when you fuck up your first one.
Also, you need a thermometer to determine interior temperature. Do not omit.
>>713394052
make curry paste
piss easy to do and you can freeze it
plus you know what's going in to it

Curry is a word Brits promoted to refer to any Indian stew. It's not a word that's nearly as prominent in India.
If its 'curry' you want, though:
- color: turmeric (flavor too, though its color is more prominent)
- main spice: coriander
- secondary spice: cumin
- accent spices: cardamom, clove, star anise, cinnamon
I just brushed my new cast iron pan with olive oil and baked it for an hour at 350, now it's all sticky, did I season it wrong?
>>713395981
Not professional cook anon, but if you taste your food throughout the cooking, you have a better chance to figure out what which spices do and develop your own preferences.
>>713396035
But yuppies should be able to afford a good butchers shop. Or are they all various iterations of vegan and vegetarian now?

Fuck man OP here, don't do that. Get mobile and find a real butcher...well worth the effort....and when you find him, ask him where the nearest fish monger is. profit.
>>713396288
>But yuppies should be able to afford a good butchers shop. Or are they all various iterations of vegan and vegetarian now?
Who knows...
>>713396288
Thats true. I was just curious how chef adds spices. since tastes are different I was wondering if there are rules for general use asidefrom personal taste and experience like ratios or such.
>>713396316

>>713395007
say that tomy face fucker not online and see what happens
>>713395289
totally depends on what you want the outcome to be. baked, fried, smoked, loxs. Ocean salmon is way better than fresh water and Pacific is better than Atlantic. I need to know more info dood.
>>713396858
I don't know, I guess a way of learning is having someone else make it first, let you taste and then you try to recreate that taste.

What's a good way to mask smell/taste of cum?
Any foods, preparation instructions etc
>>713395366
lol and dubs
>>713395961
I use Wusthof. No for the amateur because you have to sharpen the every day. A good quality Henckel ( there are 3 types ) go with top of the line. They hold there edge a long time...and always use a steel.
>>713397599
even this is a dubs!
i love you dubs god
>>713396211
Lol its not that complicated just put any oil cook with it eventually the pan will season.
>>713395981
taste if you are unsure...even if I am sure...I still find myself sneaking a taste...just because so many things come into play cooking.....is it a hot day or cool day, humidity, cut of the meat...different ever animal, etc.
>>713397599
Ayyyyyy lmao. Look at my dubs too
>>713397473
I've heard CutCo is a lot better than Wusthof. My parents still have their set from the 60's
Cheapest, easiest, and tastiest thing to make when a couple of friends or a girl is over?
>>713397743
Close, but quads
>>713397068
alright google tells me what i mean is wild salmon. and please...i know that im bad at cooking so..im sorry for what im doing wrong. basically i get this really cheap salmon which is frozen, let it defrost (is it called like that?) in luke warm water until the fish is...well..cutable, not frozen. i then cut it up into squares and put them in a pan which is like halfway hot. i dont really know what spices are good for fish, i dont really know how to properly cut fish, i dont really know how to properly fry or bake fish.
and i realise that my english is broken as fuck.
How does a chef know how to make specific things with out a recipe, im reference to masterchef, how do they know how to make a dish that has more than 5 ingredients.
>>713396205
op here, yes, as I said, it can be very complicated, especially region to region in India, which is what makes it such and inviting flavour.
>>713393406
Lazy plating with meat juices and sauce all over the place, veg looks bland with no caramelization.
The rare duck looks good though.
>>713391363
nice feet
>>713397800
Meatballs with spagattie, if you are feeling frisky maybe a chepest cut of steak that's been tenderizer in salt.
>>713396211
you must have used extra virgin, yes?
let it cool.
fill with hot water, no soap...let stand 10 minutes then scrub...never use soap on that pan. when you have it clean away you go
NO SOAP ever....understand?
If i mix pee and milk can i still use it on a cake and make a cake?
>>713396622
op double dubs checked....ummmm perhaps

I've read that to induce and bring out the best after tones to serve it at room temp by itself. But others think it's better as an accompaniment.

how do i season and cook chicken (breasts, thighs, wings) ? i have an electric stove an my oven doesn't work.
also, when i cook with garlic, i cannot get much flavor out of it. i use garlic cloves.
should i use garlic paste?
Fuck off chef cunts. You are all boring piles of shit.
Heres how to cook. Get raw meat and add heat. That was fucking hard wasnt it.
Stupid chef cunts. Your just cooks you stupid nothing ever interesting happens to me ppot stiiring dumb fuckin fags.
>>713398309
I recognized a pic. If you really do, cheers. You make some good shit.
>>713393406
>>713396944
ok....forget the spicy chipotle. Butterfly the chicken breast and cut into stir fry strips
pasta on, water to boil pasta in
heat a wok style pan, hot pan, cut asparagus in thirds..olive oil (not virgin) in pan or some other non smoking oil, asparagus in....cook till al dente ...remove asparagus, chicken in, season salt and pepper while stirring. as chicken brounds, flip, a little paprika in. turn off heat...get rid of oil, add some coconut cream....mix till thick, throw in asparagus, mix
profit
>>713398887
Buy a deep flyer at Walmart 20 bucks, alternatively fill a pot with oil and us strainer
>>713397882
Not OP but I'll bite. Sounds like your typical frozen salmon.
First of all don't defrost in lukewarm water, let it defrost in your refrigerator overnight.
Are you just eating the salmon on it's own? Try it with some rice and vegetables.
Spices that go well with salmon? Salt & pepper is all you really need, use some garlic, rosemary, or lemon if you want a more complex flavor.
The key to cooking salmon well is to caramelize the outside of your fish(golden brown & slightly crispy) while keeping the inside properly cooked and all of the albumin(white protein goop) from coming out of the fish. Get a pan, coat with olive oil, medium-high heat, season your salmon and drop it in the pan, let it cook on both sides. IMO good salmon is cooked to MEDIUM doneness which is slightly raw on the inside.

>>713399577
Fresh ingredients
>>713390330
preferred knife brand of choice?
>>713399577
Knowing your cooking methods is the most important aspect of being a cook and it is something that you will always be improving upon (Baking, grilling, sauteing, braising, stewing, boiling, simmering, poaching, steaming, roasting, searing, deep frying, shallow-pan frying, etc etc)
>>713399429
Also pulls up Araxi. One of the websites took the pic from the other.
>>713399341
honestly i make a kind of sauce with salmon and cream, salt, pepper and chives. then i just make Sonne noodles, i mean, its tasty...
>>713399998
that's what it looks like, probably the zorgvliet guy stole from araxi.
>>713397923
the more ingredients the better chance you have to fail. The best food I have ever eaten has been in Italy in small local restaurants with local ingredients. simple uncomplicated recipes. I always try to remind myself not to get too complicated when trying to come up with a new add to the menu.
>>713399998
off by one, poor anon
what's >>713399999 about though
>>713398168
OP here...good choice. in the fall and winter, that is always a winner!!!
>>713400079
That sounds good mate. Somen noodles wouldn't be my first choice though
>>713390330
Do girls actually poop?
>>713393406

>>713400372
*some noodles, my phone fucked it up a bit, i wouldnt like to have a sun in my food.
honestly, im a student and i want to try alot of stuff but i have a huuuge problem with failing stuff which makes me cook alot of the same stuff again and again just to be able to cook it, i dunno.
>>713398445
frozen veggies are mediocre...most fresh veggies are so cheap and pack an ass kicking of flavour and nutrition. I never deep fry chicken but will fry (wok style pan) often cut into strips....now this is for me cause I love spicy...I will add, depending on my mood, cayenne, salt and pepper, butter, jamaican jerk sauce ...so many combos
>>713398500

You gotta make mistakes to get better. I suggest getting a good cookbook to explain the basics to you.
>>713398779
kek cause it's not chicken exactly like you are thinking...can you guess what it really is.....i'll save you the search....it's chicken parts. Skull, brain, asshole, innards, feet...no real meat. Enjoy!!
>>713399998
>>713400191
Why don't we ask them both?
>>713398831
? you must be 14
>>713401447

>>713401435
because we have better shit to do.
>>713398887
Well if the oven doesn't work tell your fucking landlord to fix it....that's why you pay rent
so in the meantime...go on craigslist and but a slow cooker. Stop Buying chicken breasts...they are expensive and they are the driest tasting part of the bird. Buy legs, thighs and wings. in a skillet quickly brown each leg or thigh on each side, throw into slow cooker while you are at school fresh veggies in, potatoes....whatever.
when you are home dinner is ready. As for the garlic, if you had an oven, full bulb of garlic...cut top off...soak in olive oil, wrap in tin foil, bake for an hour...voila! roasted garlic...add to any food or stew or toast...amazing
good luck with school
