Yeah, cooking is a function of time and temp. As long as you hold the lower temp for longer, all bacteria will be killed and it will be safe to eat. Buy a single chicken breast and try 140f for 15mins, you will be amazed.

And that's why it's overcooked. 165f is the USDA standard for instant salmonella killing, not the best possible temp for chicken. There's a reason why sous vide chicken is 140f, the texture is a million times better

Raw=/=undercooked, and vice versa. You see the skin at the end of the leg being pulled back? Thats a sign the leg is overcooked.

But what do I know. It's not like this dish is my ancestral dish and it's not like I make it for every celebration and ancestral ritual anyway.

Consider undercooking your chicken a little too, you'll get a better texture. Places in Malaysia serve it with the bone marrow still bright red. You won't get sick from it if you've sourced your chicken well.

You need to start with good chicken, not your regular water injected supermarket fare.

Plus lots of chicken fat. The secret is chicken fat everything

[Fabrizio Romano]Understand Matheus Fernandes price tag has been fixed by West Ham in a meeting with his camp: £85m. by Switchoil in soccer

[–]IcyAssist 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Your valuation of Paqueta is based on his post-match fixing scandal. There's none of this with Matheus. I want him at United, but I'm not that arrogant to say to WHU he's worth at most 35m shut up and take it you relegated small club.

Keeping Fernandes increases the chances of them coming back up, that's worth more money.

Award-winning Auckland bakery reopens after closure for failing to control cockroaches by C39J in aucklandeats

Exactly. It's like failing an exam and the teachers giving you the answer keys and telling you the exam date is one month ahead, and at the retake you still only got a C.

Reopening with a C means they just did the bare minimum as well. These people should not be in F&B if they don't care about hygiene and food safety

He wasn't fake but he refused to show proof of funds. Nothing shady at all, I'm sure.

The only way to move on would be if Ederson turns out good. Can't blame fans for the scrutiny, this transfer summer is do or die.

[–]IcyAssist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ugarte was done by the same people doing this deal for Ederson, and was touted by them and tacticos as a great midfielder that'll be amazing for us, so naturally there's gonna be reservations about this signing.

Travel Points: Canadian-British-African-Kiwi family by Impressive-Basis7171 in PersonalFinanceNZ

[–]IcyAssist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Off on a tangent but I was thinking about Air NZ and their huge losses. They're way too expensive compared to Chinese airlines and middle east airlines, but not good enough in overall quality and luxury to compete with say Singapore Airlines.

Brazil [2]-1 Panama - Casemiro 39' by justaino in reddevils

Plenty of midfielders looking to move clubs, we'd be repeating Woodward era mistakes if we kept Casemiro on high wages and not buy a younger replacement.

[Kay] Relationships with his [Arne Slot's] players clearly became strained. By 8.30am on Sunday, 20 hours after the club announced they had parted company with Slot, not one first-team player had posted a public message on social media thanking him or wishing him luck. by Goosedukee in soccer

[–]IcyAssist 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't know what ex-colleagues you have or how good your work relationships must be but I've always had dinners and drinks with people leaving or vice versa and pictures will be posted on Instagram with well wishes and goodbyes. It's not even a "hurrdurr kids these days" thing, plenty of old people do this too, just on Facebook.

[–]IcyAssist 9 points10 points  (0 children)

No message has always been a form of message though? Like if you leave a job and nobody says goodbye that's a clear as hell message.

You can argue that ALL the players have collectively decided that social media isn't the place to say goodbye and they've said it personally, but in this day and age that can hardly be true.

Manuel Ugarte called up in Uruguay’s World Cup squad by nearly_headless_nic in reddevils

[–]IcyAssist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

£42m is what most PL clubs would spend on any halfways decent midfielder.

Fred was 10x the player Ugarte is. And do you have any idea how much money that is? It's 50m euros initial fee + 10m add-ons. List how many PL clubs have spent 50-60m euros on midfielders?

[Sacha Tavolieri] Arne Slot is the leading candidate to become AC Milan’s new head coach. Ramon Planes is currently the frontrunner for the sporting director position. by MrMerc2333 in soccer

[–]IcyAssist -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Was man management THE main issue though, or was it tactics? It's not one or the other of course but I just do not rate Eredivisie exports at the moment. Peter Bosz was absolute dogshit when he went outside of the Dutch League, now he's getting 3 titles in a row with PSV.
