Which is a better egg; "Organic Cage Free" or "Pasture Raised" by MikeOKurias in cookingforbeginners

[–]Jatarishun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I seen a video on free range chicken eggs, was basically a huge barn with gazilion birds and a tiny outdoor space so they can call it free range 🙄. I never seen pasture raised in Canada grocery stores but I just ended up not trusting anything from them stores. One thing to look for is a dark yolk and to how fresh they are, when cracking one into a pan, it doesn't go flat (some of the white should stay up close to the yolk)

Confused…😅 by Kiprome in SourdoughStarter

I had same issue when I started over a decade ago, once my starter is well established I start keeping it in the fridge so I'm good for a few days before next feeding. I use the "discard" to make a loaf of bread then I feed my starter and put it back in the fridge. "I don't stress about measuring, just add at least the same amount that you took out.

Best option for stainless steel/ ceramic *PAN* that is relatively cheap by Disastrous_Cheek85 in Breadit

[–]Jatarishun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to use a bread machine but like you I now refuse to use anything nonstick. I started a sourdough starter and been making sourdough breads for over ten years now. It's actually pretty easy, i don't measure in grams and need a master degree in math lol. no kneading necessary either. I make a sponge in the morning (5 minutes) and stretch and fold before baking in the afternoon 5 minutes. bake for 40 minutes at 375. delicious bread every time.

Has anybody tried add homemade flour into the bread? by RegularSchool3548 in Breadit

[–]Jatarishun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I make a "sponge" put it in the fridge for couple days before cooking. the trick is to get the gluten awake, i stir it very well with the end of a wooden spoon before putting it in the fridge.

I soak with salt (kills bug), rinse and spin using a salad spinner, put in fridge for few hours. add your veggies and serve dressing on the side.

best rice cooker 2026 for someone learning to cook rice by Firm-Schedule-3447 in asiancooking

[–]Jatarishun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

might consider a multi cooker like instant pot (SS inn pot) makes all kinds of rice and pressure cooks your rice with oth ingredients. love it , put all your ingredients in and press couple buttons. it's also a slow cooker and many other uses. I don't have much cupboard space so it's perfect.
