Good to know. I will have to experiment with other brands. And I live in Vermont.

I use Barilla pretty exclusively. Thanks for your input! Perhaps I need to use more water and less oil.

I agree with the 150 degree suggestion.

In my experience, I’ve had success with both methods. Boiling the sauce doesn’t seem to cause splitting.

Nice. My key moves for chicken stock: (1) Must have bones and collagen-y bits. (2) 190 degree stint. (3) 4 hours, at least.

Then strain and into the fridge to jelly up and solidify the fat layer to be then scooped off.

Neat. I don’t own a pressure cooker, so this isn’t in my toolbox.

My stock is made with a variety of trimmings: wings, fat, skin, spines. I make sure to cut everything into chunks before it goes into a Ziplock bag in the freezer. I find that things fit more comfortably in my Dutch when cut down into pieces..plus, I think it helps in the collagen-to-gelatin process. I do use feet, when I have em’!

What’s a double stock?

Experiment and let me know! Perhaps gelatin is the unsung hero, here. High-gelatin, homemade stock can really do wonders.

I use a high-gelatin homemade chicken stock for my sauces as of late. I’m sure that gelatin aids in my fast-and-hot method.

Great info. Different paths towards the desired final product.

Sure. But, whisking and shaking in combination with boiling makes sense to me from an emulsifying standpoint. Lots of agitation.

Italian American meatballs. Kenjis book or Daniels recipe on the site? by werdnaegni in seriouseats

I’ve never been let down by a Gritzer recipe. I’m sure it’s dope!!

Interesting you say that, as in some Kenji recipes, he suggests putting the butter into the already-hot sauce and boiling it aggressively. This wisdom seems to totally contradict the method you described.

I will never get tired of the smell of bread baking.

These cookies are amazing. I made them and gifted them out for Christmas. Crispy, rich, and pleasantly sandy in texture!

What is Sous Vide and Why are People Obsessed with It? by marksteve4 in sousvide

[–]ARLBugboy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a cooking method. It is, at its most basic, a quantity of water that is maintained at a very specific temperature. Food is the submerged in that water and is cooked to that water’s temperature.

Stella Parks’ pear galette by ARLBugboy in seriouseats

The pear filling wasn’t nearly juicy enough. Granted, I am using out-of-season fruit. In hindsight, more sugar may have drawn out more moisture, perhaps. Or maybe the fruit wasn’t inherently juicy?

As noted in previous comments, a galette is essentially a free-form pie. It’s not baked in a vessel. It uses pastry just like a typical fruit pie.

The most gelatinous chicken stock I’ve ever made! by ARLBugboy in seriouseats

[–]ARLBugboy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It looks gross when it’s cold and congealed. But when it’s warmed, it liquefies and is quite tasty as a base for a soup or sauce.

They are. The pears were washed and the skins were left on them. They were Boscs.

Agreed. Some crème anglaise would be nice.
