cooking tip of the day

If you don’t like the taste or texture of your vegetables, try pan-frying or steaming them in animal fat and broth instead of vegetable oil or water. They will absorb the fat and the broth as they cook, making them softer and dulling the bitterness of the vegetable. I’m autistic and a supertaster (meaning I am very sensitive to bitter flavors), and this has made vegetable-eating much more tolerable than simply steaming in water or frying with olive oil

#cooking tip #vegetables #it tends to impart a smokier flavor too which is nice #and its more filling imo

As I said before, I’m not a professional chef, but maybe this will help some of you out there.

(And yes, the pictures are mine, lol. I like how the stray crust near the garlic bread grilled cheese looks like a little heart, ha ha.)

If you find your health/energy to be very spotty and you work in spurts something very helpful you can do for cooking is make some herb and/or spiced butters.

It's just room temp butter creamed - that is, repeatedly smooshed and then folded in on itself - with seasoning.

I often make a garlic, onion, & italian herb butter. If i'm fancy i might make one with coriander, thyme, and rosemary, or cumin, paprika and ginger. I am not an advanced cook. Ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and clove is also one i like but use less often - it's the same mix i use for apple pie filling. I use dried herbs and spices (even the garlic and onion) but you can use fresh. Use green onions/scallion or chives for onion flavour if you're doing it fresh; normal onion would be a pain in the ass. It's very wet and cutting it small enough would be frustrating.

Anyway, if you've got some flavoured butter you can pop it in the fridge for quite some time (i have NO IDEA if adding things effects it's ability to live on the counter, my usual butter does. Better safe than sorry right?).

And then tou can use it instead of seasoning when you are tired. You can make garlic toast this way. You can put it on a potato. You can, if you're up for it, throw it in a pot, then add your proteins and any root veggies, cook 'em until nearly done, add some (other) veggies (frozen is fine), and like, some microwave rice and mix it until it's hot enough for the food to be cooked through and serve (do not do with the cinnamon mix, probably. Although if you want to, you do you boo).

You can also do the same in the microwave as long as any questionable to cook from raw things - like meat - go in pre-cooked, and you add a little extra butter because otherwise it can get rubbery or dry, microwaves cook unevenly.

It's just nice to have it THERE if you're not feeling so good. How much mileage you get from this tip is up in the air of course.

As someone who is generally very low on energy (neutral fatigue is great!) and sometimes can barely get out of bed i have enjoyed being able to have something nice on the bad days this way.

Hey

you

yes you

if you're cooking dried beans, soak them over night in double their volume of water, with 1-2Tbsp of Baking Soda added to it and mixed in

then drain and rinse them before cooking

pressure cooking is the best method if you don't want the water/broth you use to thicken substantially, but no matter how you cook it, be careful adding any acid, since the beans themselves will have become basic and will foam WAY more than normal this way.

but it'll let you actually cook your beans that you've been struggling with, they'll finish cooking so smooth and creamy too, so wonderfully delicious instead of crunchy or grainy

cooking tips by avo:

turn on the stove lmao (or oven)

get a SHARP knife!!! especially a sharp veggie knife!!! this is the most important thing!!!

get a BIG cutting board. u wont regret it. trust me.

use cans. its fine.

use frozen veggies. its fine.

use spice mixes / mixed seasonings. sure. its cooler to make ur own mix. but seasoning ur food is basically the most difficult thing about cooking (imo). its fine to buy mixes. thats why they exist!!! not everybody is good at seasoning food. its fine. thats why they are sold.

use a chair. seriously. even if u dont have chronic pain or any kind of disability or whatever. use a chair. sit down. its fine. you are allowed to.

if everythings fails. drench ur meal in ur fav condiment. its fine.

turn off the stove lmao.

#cooking tip #wrote this down to remind myself #i can boil down the main reasons why i dont wanna cook basically to #having to stand and chop w a shitty blunt knife on a tiny chopping board #and having to season my own food and failing at it and ending up w bland shit #both issues easily solved!!!!!!! #literally dont know why i live like this #theres no fucking reason to!!!! #today i made pizza and it was super chill and easy cuz i applied all these tips #cant believe how nice it is to use a sharp knife lmao #basically no effort #i didnt know that chopping veggies could be so damn easy #what a fucking fool i was

If youre a carbohydrate slut like i am. And also lazy and or a fan of prepackaged noodles. Ive got a tip.

First these are the products available where i live

Feel free to substitute for any pre packaged pasta and instant ramen square that you can get your hands on and enjoy eating.

First choose youre package of side dish noodles i chose pasta roni for this. Add the full amount of liquid plus 1/4 cup water.

Start warming it and follow the instructions on the package. When its time to add the noodles and flavour powder you do it normal and stir it in then immediately add the flavour pack and noodle brick of ramen.

Then just cook until its done and thickened. It turns a side dish that barely fills one (me) person into a side dish that’ll feed three easily. Instead of cooking 2 packages of sidekick/pasta roni which are $1.70-2.50 each depending on sales you stretch it out for a $0.25 pack of ramen.

Delicious.

actually yknow what, no. this is not being limited to discord, yall get it too.

some general cooking tips (in which there is a brief senshi posession):

moisture is the enemy of crispy skin. pat dry with paper towel, and if you have the time and spoons, give a thorough but even coat of baking powder and let sit uncovered in your fridge overnight. this will dry out the skin nicely. for pork belly, create a tight foil boat so that only the skin is showing, and cover in salt to draw out moisture, repeating a couple times if necessary.

furikake seasoning, for the fellow rice lovers, is just nori (seaweed), sesame seeds, sugar, and msg/salt. you might have most if not all of these things already in your kitchen.

chai spice mix is just cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, cloves, nutmeg, & allspice.

pumpkin spice is just cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger.

to cure your own bacon, you only need water, white and brown sugar, and a non-iodized salt - himalayan pink salt is not iodized, if you cannot find butchers curing pink salt. from there, you can add any seasoning/flavoring you want.

the truly adventurous may cook their rice in green tea for a fresh clean taste.

you can tell if a fish is truly fresh by their eyes - clear and bright is fresh, while cloudy is older or potentially has been frozen.

it's cheaper to buy a large block pack of ramen from your local asian market and repackage the bricks into sandwich bags, than to buy a box of individually packaged ones such as maruchan or top ramen.

when buying meat, look at it's fat content - more fat marbling usually means more tender + flavorful.

you can save onion skins and other vegetable scraps to make your own broth with. you can also save bones for this. mix and match ratios to create your ideal flavor.

bay leaf will always make a soup or broth taste better, but Watch Out (they are not fun to bite into on accident).

msg is, in fact, not The Devil, that was just a racist hate campaign against the chinese and other oriental races. it's literally just a type of salt. it is no more dangerous to eat than any other type of salt.

washing your rice is important because it not only improves flavor and texture by removing excess starch, but it also helps reduce any residual pesticides or dirt, or even insect fragments (please remember that rice paddies are essentially giant ponds that all kind of things live in and swim around. you should also be washing all your produce in general.)

please salt your cooking water for pastas, it just tastes better and you will be happier for it.

boiled potatoes are also improved by salt water.

if you hate vegetables, please consider trying them fried in butter or perhaps bacon grease. it is healthier to eat them fatty than not at all.

healthy food does not in fact have to taste miserable. thats a lie. they are lying to you. free yourself from your blandness shackles. enter a world of flavor.

Making Boxed Mac'n'Cheese Good

I think boxed mac'n'cheese is gross but making it from scratch takes too long so I made a compromise and honestly it's really good.

All you need to do is make the boxed stuff like normal, but only add half the butter and then put it in a baking dish. Sprinkle some actual cheddar on top and bake at 350 for like 10 min.

I guess you could just mix the cheddar with the pasta in the pot and skip the baking step but I think it makes it better.

Also you can keep cheddar in your fridge for ages so you won't be wasting anything if you don't make anything with cheddar for a while after that.

All in all it takes one extra ingredient, 10 min, and one extra dish. And it makes the mac'n'cheese taste 1000% better

On a day you have slightly more energy than usual, get a whole bag of yellow onions, slice them into thin slices, and throw them into a slow cooker on low with half a stick (or more, butter is good for you) of butter for 8-12 hours. When they are nice and caramelized, spread them in a thin layer on a cookie sheet to freeze, but kind of score the layer in a grid pattern so you can break them into squares once frozen. That will give you enough caramelized onions for literal months, just throw a square or two into any soup, hash, sauce, whatever and it will taste like it took hours with no extra effort at that time.
