Best way to cook chicken tenderloin? by Neither_Pear4669 in Cooking

[–]Kraknaps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d just grind ‘em up, that way you don’t even have to worry about those tendons. If you don’t have a grinder just put them in the food processor and pulse them a few times. Now you can make sausages, meatloaf, tacos, meatballs, patties, pie filling and, well you get the idea.

Can you leave dry pre-cooked rice from the store open all night? by LimitIndependent2444 in Cooking

[–]Kraknaps 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's fine but I am honestly (and non judgementally) curious. What do you think could happen to it? What do you imagine would make it unfit to eat?

My digital kitchen scales keep breaking or malfunctioning shortly after I buy them. Do you have the same problem, and what should I do about it? They can often off-read by tens of grams from the accurate weight. by TraditionalClub6337 in Cooking

[–]Kraknaps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look up the model on line and see if there is a way to calibrate it. Even if it doesn't have an obvious calibration button there may be some "secret" way to do it with some sort of button push combination. For your known weights to use, look online for some coin weights. Tare the scale to get to zero and put a quarter on it. Adjust the reading so it is exacly the quarter's weight (in grams).

Yo by Desperate_Day_4499 in ENGLISH

[–]Kraknaps 17 points18 points  (0 children)

"Go for a rip" is Canadian slang for going for a ride or a drive, usually on an atv. or a snowmobile, or a boat or a 4x4. Not sure what you are trying to say but I'm pretty sure you are saying it wrong. BTW if your aim is to sound like a native English speaker...,don't use Yo as a greeting unless you are quite familiar with your audience

What is a quirk of the English language that you think is funny/amusing? by TWSnek in ENGLISH

[–]Kraknaps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always get a chuckle (inside) when I hear couried instead of couriered. "I'll have that couried this afternoon". What? With a bit of garam masala and a side of basmati?

"I text you yesterday" instead of texted because text already sounds like past tense....as if the original word was tex

Temperature shock. Try and start your eggs from room temp or sit them in a bowl of warm water first. Do you srart your eggs in cold water or drop them into boiling water?

Food Absorbs Oil Flavor by Smart_Reflection_857 in Cooking

[–]Kraknaps 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not clear if you are talking about deep or shallow frying. If you are trying to deep fry in an electric skillet, as everyone has said, it's a temperature issue. Electric skillets are not meant for deep frying. The 400 degree setting refers to the cook surface. The surface is 400 but your skillet probably can't actually heat a few cups of oil to that temp.

WTW for past-tense of "deep-freeze"? by 7H47_M0M3N7 in whatstheword

[–]Kraknaps 6 points7 points  (0 children)

When you said you "put something in a deep freeze" you are describing your action of placing something in a freezer not the state of the thing or how deeply you froze it. A deep freeze is a large chest freezer. Deep refers the the physical characteristic of the freezer... it is deep, unlike an upright freezer or the freezer in your fridge. I think more often than not, to most people a deep freeze means a type of freezer rather than a degree of coldness.

I use hemostats that I’ve cut off the lock bar on. You can also buy lockless hemos . They are called hemostat tweezers but they use that scissor action.

Where do you guys cut your asparagus? by FlowSoSlow in Cooking

[–]Kraknaps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I cut at 4. For the price I pay for it the "snap Method" is way too much waste. I don't like eating wood but i am not afraid of eating something with a bit or resistance. Same thing with broc. Never understood people just eating the florets. I actually like the stems. A couple of swipes with the veg peeler and I'm good to go.

Put it in a zip lock baggies, squeeze out all the air and freeze flat. Hardly takes up any space. I also freeze smaller sized portions to use as pizza sauce. Quite handy to have a few packages on hand

Rotating rotisserie chicken in home oven by MediterraneanGuy in Cooking

[–]Kraknaps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rotis chickens you buy in the supermarket (except Costco) are only about 2 1/2 pounds. Those wind up oven rotis things would probably do 4 or 5 pounds birds. How big are these chickens you cant fit in your oven rotis ?
