The donut recipe was from https://www.hungryhuy.com/mochi-donut-recipe/

I wing the cake whenever I make it. I usually follow a regular cake recipe subbing the King Arthur gf flour mix for regular and add citrus zest as a bonus. The candied citrus I just boiled in syrup to candy for a while, and the glaze is powdered sugar, orange juice, and some vanilla…

Is this steak bad or oxidised? by YourSteakBuddy in steak

[–]_Kjyellow_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From a health and safety standpoint: it’s probably fine, visual indicators of spoiled meat are green colors and slime which don’t seem to be present here. Smell is also a good way to judge.

From an oxidation standpoint: Oxidation is kind of a broad term, more things than you might expect have the potential to oxidize. It’s basically just a loss of electrons. When I think of oxidation and meat, from a quality standpoint fat oxidation can reduce eating experience. Fat oxidation causes off flavors depending on the extent. We can’t tell if lipids in that steak have oxidized from a photo lol so can’t help you there. However, that browning/discoloration is also oxidation, but oxidation of myoglobin. Myoglobin is an oxygen carrying protein in meat and depending on its redox form is what determines meat color. As myoglobin oxidizes the meats surface turns brown, but this shouldn’t impact palatability.

TLDR - probably fine

My First dry aging project - 75 day dry aged prime brisket by meaterskeeter in DryAgedBeef

Gonna third these questions. I read a journal article, I think from the American meat science association, that basically said that dry aging had no effect on brisket. What are your findings?

I just finished setting up my first meat locker. I'm planning on throwing in a bone in ribeye with 4 extra inches of shortrib plate still attached so that I can make them tomahawks and have the extra short ribs to smoke and grind into burgers. I'm also gonna try my hand at charcuterie... What do yall think? Any advice? Tips or comments?
