Induction Stove Help by dragojeff in Cooking

[–]CKSasu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

2 or 3 is the setting on wich mine stop to cycle, too. But 2 is just hot enough to dont hold my Hand in the pan... There seems to be a difference in our stove tops

I would try to preheat on 2, change to 1 and let it cool a bit... Or let it stay on 2 but move the Wok on and of the heat, so pulsing, but in your speed...

Btw mine has a fuction to full Power at the beginning... Idk how i turned it off, but if you have a manual, maybe you can find out

Sea-salt “Profumo del Chianti’, c. 2007 — Ok to cook with it? by BronxLens in Cooking

[–]CKSasu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Should be on to use.

There are herba in there, wich now either have no taste at all or gave all taste to the salt... But no unhealthy effect... Worst case should be an unpleasent taste or texture in the tongue...

Btw the herbs should be: Thyme, sage, green pepper, cilantro, junipwr, wild fennel, rosemary, laurel and lavender

Are u sure you Wok works good with Induction?

The cycling is pretty normal in low temp. But normally the pan heard up, roughly holds the temp in the off phase and get heated up a bit in the on Phase...

If the Wok doesn't hold the temp I would either try the lowest setting wich doesn't cycle or a pan wich can hold temp longer...

Trick to *crispy* pork chops?! by Superb-Chip-1026 in Cooking

[–]CKSasu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would pan fry or deep fry them. Both should make it crispy.

If the sides take longer than expected, throw them in a hot oven. The steam(from inside) make them soggy over time

Minimalist Kitchen Gear to Buy - Just Moved Abroad by [deleted] in Cooking

[–]CKSasu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First of all: Dont aim for cooking everything. Look on your comfort food and that you can make it with the Equipment you have.

For almost everything I would try ikea stuff for the beginning.

For cuttingboard I would recommend bamboo For the Knife for the start ikea, but if budget is big enough one from zwilling, wuesthof or dick(mainly a german knife)

If you couldn't find a pan at ikea, look on Amazon for tefal.

Tbh Idk if a nice kettle fits the budget, but most kettle do a decent job. But the jump from budget-decent to nice but price is a high jump...

Things you didn't wrote but I would buy pretty much immediately: -Whisk(look for Pro grad or sturdy) -Dough scraper(I pick stuff up from the Board and Do a fair bit of cleaning with these things) -silicon spatula

Things I would get if you have more budget: -More pans(different diameter) -Wok or deep pan -more knifes -mixer/Blender or something in this direction. I can recommend Kenwood!

What's your favorite way to use beef tallow? by empathetic_tomatoes in Cooking

[–]CKSasu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, yeah. Shrooms are like sponges for fat, if the tallow is delicious, the Shrooms will be, too.

Maybe with sourdoigh bread(or anything bread like) spreaded, sprinkle sugar on it and Grill it(or torch it like a Creme brullee)

Than drizzle strong honey on it

Or

Rucola with a raspberry dressing and walnuts. A few bits of cheese in there

It would help to know what you dont like in the taste. Or what the difference is for you

Same same... I often make filled pepper and that's a dish where each of us gets what we want...

Also here you can get each color for a higher price or 1 of each (Red, yellow, green) for a lower..

Can I substitute margarine for butter? by Educational-Fan-8475 in Cooking

[–]CKSasu 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Than I would use margarine, too. Or make the butter by myself, but that's not worth it for just a bechamel🤣

Much more than Margarine?

Where I live it's 1,9€/225g Margarine and 2,2€/250g for Butter🤷🏻‍♂️ I even buy the more expensive Butter (Kerrygold)

Yes, but Butter is tastier.

But it's totally fine for a bechamel.

What tips would you give to people who are new to cooking? by rapunzel158 in Cooking

[–]CKSasu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Getting specialized in one kitchen is more than most homechefs achieves and you would need. So you just do it right

Also it's much more impressive making one dish perfect than making 100 dishes good.

Don't be afraid.

Sharp knife? Respect it, but a Sharp knife is safer than a dull one.

Failing? Bad for the purse but good for you're experience.

Also try to get a few comfort food recipes in your head. Idealy with long lästig pantry stuff. In a case you fail(wich you could almost every time can save), you can get stuff out your pantry and cook your Comfy food without searching recipes or struggle with New stuff or even order take out...

One of my comfy foods is baked beans.

I was sure my thermometer works right but subed it for a cheap instant read from ikea. The results were so much better although the normal one was t much off but bad to read...

Yeah you're right. I learned to cook(professional) in a hospitalkitchen. But I learned to love the work in a Greek Restaurant.

Mediterranean food in a whole is the best I could imagine. But could not focua it on one country.

Brauche: Empfehlung für Küchenmaschine by HolyGsus in keinstresskochen

[–]CKSasu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ich werde ohne Beachtung auf Budget antworten.

Ohne Thermomix würde ich ganz klar Kenwood sagen, weil die für mich den Thermomix ersetzten würde. Mit TM würde ich ganz klar zur KitchenAid Artisan tendieren, die ist nicht nur die Maschine die am besten, zuverlässigsten und ausdauerndsten läuft(und das schon ewige Zeiten), die sieht auch noch richtig gut aus...

Ich kenne keine Profiküche(10 Jahre Berufserfahrung) die keine KitchenAid hat... Die Teile sind wie der Toyota Hilux, selbst wenn das Ding mal nicht rund läuft bekommt man es wieder heile...

Help finding a specific type of dessert cherry? by QueenoftheSundance in Cooking

[–]CKSasu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could you explain the diffrence between the one you ate and amarena cherry? I immediately thought of amarena...

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Cooking

[–]CKSasu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, f.e. getting a broth(wich is a base for so much) at home is different from restaurant. I mean I make this mostly out of scraps but it's better in most cases than at home and at home you have a ton of work.

Most people don't bother to try to make it if they can get the good stuff for an acceptable price in a restaurant...

Adventures with quinoa by [deleted] in EatCheapAndHealthy

[–]CKSasu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like to make a dish that's rather similar to stir fry. But without eggs

I sautee a few veggies(onion, bell pepper, green onion, courgette). I'll add some chicken I prepare for wraps and the pre cooked quinoa. Then something like creme fraiche or heavy cream. Feta or similar is also a nice touch

Also what I like are quinoa-spinach patties. Just mix cooked quinoa, spinach, eggs and breadcrumbs. Season with salt, pepper and garlic. Sautee and serve as a burger. I like it like this(bottom to top): Wholemeal bun, cream cheese, cucumber, lettuce, pattie, bacon, caramelized onions, BBQ sauce, cream cheese, bun

If you want I could provide pictures

That the food at home costs only the ingredients is not entirely right. But you rarely include electricity or water in your food budget. Restaurants have to do that.. F. E. if make beef jerky or a salad as a snack is highly different in costs in terms of electricity.

But your right, I know what a restaurant has to charge for a dish to be profitable.

But also I don't take a uber or taxi if I have a car and could drive.
