New shitty glass is cheaper to just make, maybe. Glass is one of the few non-scam recyclables that make any sense, which is why it got pushed out in favor of pretending plastic is recyclable when it's actually what you're describing with glass these days, but toxic shit of poor quality turning...

Old Pyrex was great. Remember they used to have stovetop rated glass cookware? It was relatively cheap, durable, easy to clean. And fun as a kid to watch stuff like rice cooking from the side of the pot. A few years back I accidentally put a newer Pyrex baking dish on a burner that was turned...

All-Clad's patent for triple ply pans expired, so now you'll see a ton of brands able to do it. I bought a $215 Cuisinart Multiclad Pro set 4 years ago and it's been good and held up well. Biggest pan was 10 inch, so I bought a 12inch All-Clad that is my work horse and high-temp seering or stir...

All Victorinox except a cheap Mercer bread knife that is great, the Dexter Russell, and a Mad Shark knife on the far right was a gift, and a piece of shit. Wanting to get another basic chef knife or curved meat carver. Got all the corks set just to try out before gluing. Works fine without glue...

I have a basic Dexter Russell chef knife my mom bought me 20 years ago that has been decent. But most of my newer knives are Victorinox Fibrox. That's what my mom used in the restaurant industry her whole career. Hard to beat the value vs quality. She used to say they were cheap enough to...

If the stats are audited in real time by a group then why have local scorekeepers? Seems dumb, but it's the NBA, so... And I hate how these days instead of just a story explaining or giving facts or context it's some sneering liberal bullshit about crackpots desperate to believe conspiracy...

Yeah. Overrun. Illegal in many western countries, but not in America. Either Breyer's or Dreyer's advertises less calories because it's so full of air and that shit is criminally bad ice cream. Of course my girlfriend's painfully average family loves it. Was so sick of bad ice cream every get...

I like that the couple batches of ice cream I've made so far were denser and creamier than store bought ice cream. More like gelato with tackiness. I don't mind some air fluffed store bought ice cream, but the overrun has gotten crazy on some brands that are too light. First two batches were...

My method is heat and strain through a fine mesh and paper filter. Has worked great for fry oils and bacon grease. For tallow might have to try boiling and a fat separator. It looked pretty clear and all white with no liquid once cooled, but still went bad. Can't even remember why I was saving...

@Lanx Was trying to collect beef tallow from ground beef we make for the dog, but it would get moldy in the fridge. Wasn't sure if it wasn't pure enough and still had too much juices in it or just what it do. No problems with bacon fat in counter drip cup for a month or so until full and then...

Oops, fucking people chatting about cooking in this thread. Search for ching ching:

Baseball encouraging fans to score the game themselves kept people paying attention, which probably kept the scoring overall more honest but you'd definitely see some weird homerism. NBA having such obvious statistical anomalies with no oversight is kinda lol for a sports league that so often...

Trader Joe's makes good ketchup. Regional option, but worth it if there's one close enough. All the tang and tomatoey flavor without the layers of acidic heart burn most brands try to cover up with extra sugar. It's a pretty low bar, though, since most ketchup is terrible.

Sous vide is a tool like any other, good when appropriate and helpful. Too many people treat it like the retarded instant pot craze where people were making everything in an instant pot even when it made the dish more complicated. Lazy cooks will just sous vide every meat as if it magically...

Funniest Trader Joe's moment was some dumb college chicks loading up a basket full of frozen dinners and one asks the other if she's sure it's all healthy, and the other says of course, it's Trader Joe's, everything is healthy here. Trader Joe's mayonnaise is really good. Been out of stock the...

Trader Joe's is a liberal scam, but some of their stuff is objectively good quality at a decent price. Their canned tuna being one. In water with medium salt. No dirty pussy taste at all! I was in the camp that canned tuna was disgusting for much of my life before realizing I was just poor...

Gotta heat it up, bro. Microwave preferred.

Soda still pretty cheap where I am and it's one of my few vices. The real sugar Dr Pepper is good stuff, but I slum it plenty with Mt Dew. Been drinking more with a new job driving, but doing fine without the caffeine so thinking of cutting back again to a can with dinner or I like the 17oz size...

Bold? I'm in! Almost as promising as next-gen!

Thanks for info. Was assuming a basic controller but good they're at least not junk. And yeah, been oos. Boba Fett was back in stock a few hours this morning is why I asked. Had one in cart but forgot it there as it's pretty neat looking and I'm not usually one for collectables. The Mando one...

Was looking at the Razer Xbox controller with Boba Fett design. Kinda cool and only $75 through store and can use reward points balance. But are the actual controllers any different or better? Or just a skin for nerdgasm collecting?

I bought it then forgot about it, so very excited to be reminded this way.

Glad some of you had what looks/sounds like amazing meals. I prepped a turkey to bring to the girlfriend's grandpa's house because he insisted, then complained, that he "had to do everything" for Thanksgiving, which meant me going back and forth a few times to actually do everything. Try to...

I've been putting old bay goldfish crackers in my homemade clam chowder. Good flavor and better crunch than disgusting oyster crackers. Normally only thing I'd serve with chowder is sourdough, but old bay gold fish crackers are perfect.

Also a fan of Victorinox. Fibrox specifically. It's what my mom used for decades in commercial kitchens. Some things just work fine at reasonable prices and don't need to pay a premium. I think my kitchen scissors (Henkels maybe) cost more than my Victorinox chef knife. Because it was needed to...

Looking to get a new oven (been using a countertop convection toaster oven for a few years now). Difference isn't that much between shit tier and one that has good convection with stable temps to dehydrate or do jerky or "air sous vide". My justification is if I can make myself jerky and the...

I've dishwashered a few keyboards. I dishwasher all sorts of shit most people wouldn't, but keyboards were never really worth it. Unless a very "open" old mechanical keyboard you have to sorta take it apart anyhow or it doesn't drain or dry well or fast. By then it was easier to just take them...

Adding sugar is what helps them caramelize if not a high sugar sweet onion which pearl onions I don't think are very high sugar?

Just wish they'd fix sound and streaming issues. Sound isn't only always off, but varies how far it's off between apps, including the DVD/Blu-ray app, so using my TV's audio adjustment doesn't help. And 2 years into series x and the live video streaming is still janky and jittery as shit on...

All this talk of soup is making me thirsty!

Love their cook books. Used to enjoy the show before the obvious and terrible diversity hire, the host Kimball left to do his own (shitty) show, and they did an embarrassing cooking from home format during the pandemic. Joy of cooking is basic, but similarly worthy for teaching and informing...

More high level analysis on whether it was a sucker punch. https://news.yahoo.com/draymond-greens-mother-stands-son-231310948.html That's all Dray was doing. Calmly approaching Poole to have a gentleman's discussion. Say, chap, what is up, what you say?

I've just been making every roux with saved bacon grease. Made some clam chowder gravy with left overs. Had smoked cheddar baycon biscuits that were amazing. Was gravied chowder was good, not yet great. I tweaked ratios last minute to make more for in-laws, but has already bought clams, so the...

For someone who follows and comments on all these news stories you're surprisingly ignorant to the point you can't even post funny commentary or clever sarcasm. The narrative is becoming that if he were white he wouldn't have been punished, that the organization would have covered up the...

Apparently she's a married Mormon with 3 kids who her or her family personally knew Ainge. He shouldn't be punished over a consensual relationship and yeahbut the Celtics should have protected Udoka's privacy are looking to be increasingly bad takes. At this point this is now all but confirmed...

Draymond is also a mouthy faggot. So I'm not sure what your point is.

Both players suspended for the year? The bigger, more aggressive player with a history of violent and/or emotional outbursts who was the clear aggressor and seemed to be calculated in trying to bait a response enough an escalation in violence would be justified. And the smaller player whose...

It wasn't mutual combat fisticuffs between gentlemen. If there was a valid point it could be made without ridiculous hyperbole. It wasn't even that both were posturing. Poole wasn't even chest bumping like "you wanna go?" like dindus do. He was doing the half turn, hands down "nah man" and then...

More like 99% of anything dominated by black culture is nothing but sucker punches and bitch moves. So checks out.
