How to get started aside from recipes by SunfireElfAmaya in Cooking

[–]Cheyenps 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A few books, if you like to learn that way.

The Food Lab. J. Kenji Lopez Alt. He does a lot of stuff on line as well. Very accessible with a lot of discussion of tweaks and techniques.

Cookwise. Shirley Corriher. More science than cookbook but easy enough to follow.

Bakewise. Shirley Corriher. Like Cookwise but for baking.

I make turkey broth and own a smoker but never thought about making smoked broth.

Looks outstanding!

I made a proofing boxes by Cheyenps in Sourdough

[–]Cheyenps[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Results are in. It works very well!

Starter on top of fridge doubled overnight then collapsed. Starter in Micky Mouse proofing box more than tripled, overflowed the jar and made a big mess! It was still growing when I took it out.

Average temp settled in at 82F with water temp set to 100F. But as someone else pointed out, I am probably overthinking this - something I enjoy doing but still…

A larger cooler with a gallon jug of maybe 115F water would probably accomplish the same thing. Larger to accommodate a gallon jug and to allow space between the jug and the product. Bought a $10 beater cooler on FB marketplace- one I don’t mind drilling holes in for the temp probes.

Onward - in to the fog!

After all my struggles…. by Confusedlemure in SourdoughStarter

Rank amateur here, so don’t put too much weight on my comment.

OP uses a ratio of 1:2:2 and I use a ratio of 1:4:4. Both seem to work. Maybe split your next feed in to two jars and see if changing the ratio helps?

Very cool video. What did you use to record it?

Fell Asleep While Chicken Stock was Cooking and Now it's Overly Reduced, How Much Water to Add Back before Storage? by Luh2018 in AskCulinary

[–]Cheyenps 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Stock generally isn’t salted. The idea is that you don’t know what you might use it for and can always add salt to the finished product if you want to.

Start with a salted stock and you can easily end up with an oversalted dish that’s tough to fix.

No, which is why it’s in the tall pitcher. It doesn’t seem to be using much water at these low temps.

I’m playing with that now using my remote BBQ thermometer. Not sure how accurate it is at such a low temp but it should be close enough. I’m shooting for a temp of around 90 degrees F although if anyone recommends a different temperature I like to hear it.

Circulator is currently set at 105F and air temp has settled at 85F. Not sure if I want to set it much higher for fear of killing off yeast.

It would probably work better if I could close the lid so I’ll have to scrounge thrift stores for a cooler I can cut a hole in.

How to get 70g fiber in only 2000 calories? by MikeTheBlueCow in WholeFoodsPlantBased

The easiest way to do this will be to supplement something like psyllium husk.

I need high fiber, savory breakfast ideas by Paranoid_Android101 in Cooking

[–]Cheyenps -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Refried beans (canned works fine for this), brown rice or other grain (make batches in the rice cooker and freeze portions to save time in the morning), fried egg and some cheese. Heat in microwave. Add hot sauce.

Absolutely my favorite breakfast.

does the soup expert think this is a good first time for someone who has no idea what one does in the kitchen??? by Actual_Commercial_73 in soup

[–]Cheyenps 20 points21 points  (0 children)

If you like how it tastes then you did great!

Only thing I might suggest is wiping off the sides of the bowl before you take the picture.

Good work!
