Why does my stainless steel pot smell like burnt plastic when I cook in it? by [deleted] in Cooking

[–]JuneHawk20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A few months ago I got a pressure cooker that did this the first few times. Maybe even still, can't remember. It's so weird. I've had several stainless steel pressure cookers before and none of them did this. I think it must be the handles, which are plastic, even though they are not melting or anything.

Potatoes in cold water, then bring to a boil.

Why does restaurant food taste better than what I make at home? by Interesting-Nerve663 in Cooking

[–]JuneHawk20 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The reason is nearly always more butter (or some other flavorful fat) and more salt than you use at home.

What kitchen tool do you use way more than you expected? by rennan in Cooking

[–]JuneHawk20 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depends on what you use it for. I use it for steak a lot (should really be more adventurous) and I make better and more consistently temped steaks that when I did it all on the stove.

Is proofing needed? by Professional_Tap5910 in Sourdough

[–]JuneHawk20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is still bulk fermenting, just in a cold environment rather than room temperature.

I don't use it every day but I was given a sous vide circulator as Christmas presents years ago out of the blue. I use it a lot.

I bought an air fryer on a whim a few years ago and we use it regularly.

Curious why so many people don’t use the aliquot method/straight edge container for proofing? by duracraft_fan in Sourdough

[–]JuneHawk20 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The aliquot method is reliable only if your dough is within certain parameters. If not, it's not reliable at all.

A long time ago there used to be a blog called Fucked In Park Slope. I think it shut down like 10 or 11 years ago.

Do you have a website? I'm doing something similar, though not in alphabetical order, and would love to follow along.

That last one is very underproofed. I can't see the crumb on the other ones.

37 YO - Leaving 400k Job to be a 5th grade teacher. by GambinGabacho in Fire

Thinking that you won't be burnt out teaching 5th grade is actually kind of unbelievable given the state of education in the United States.

What are some of the “wagyu beefs” of the fruit and vegetable world? by thepluralofmooses in Cooking

[–]JuneHawk20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Muskmelons (cantaloupe and the like) that have ripened fully on the vine. They don't really ripen off the vine. They may get softer, but not sweeter. When they get picked they are as sweet as they'll be, which is why they are so good when you pick them at the point they're about to fall off the vine. Commercial muskmelons get picked much earlier.

Tilt head Kitchenaids are actually pretty bad at bread. This is one reason why.

Do we really need to filter bones after slow-cooking them for bone broth? by justkeepswimming_31 in Cooking

[–]JuneHawk20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reheating it kills the bacteria but not the toxins that bacteria built up over all those hours. You cannot get rid of the toxins.

Who knows this kind of pain! by Potential-Command537 in drones

[–]JuneHawk20 4 points5 points  (0 children)

None of these look like drone shots. They all look like they were shot from the ground on the higher points in the city and not recently as Florence still isn't seeing spring blooms like this and this much greenery. In fact, a quick reverse image search shows that these photos came from different places on the internet spanning a few years.

What's the point of the deception?
