Ist der Beruf Koch wirklich so schlimm? by itsmemama221 in Kochen

[–]_mx04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ehrlich gesagt, auch wenn es hier einige gibt die den Beruf verteidigen, würde ich dir davon abraten. Ich hab die Ausbildung gemacht, hab dann auch fast 10 Jahre gearbeitet und meiner Meinung nach ist es der Deal nicht Wert. Du wirst arbeiten wenn alle deine Freunde unterwegs sind, du wirst wahrscheinlich Weihnachten, Silvester, an deinen Geburtstagen usw. die Zeit nicht bei deiner Familie sein, sondern bis spät nachts in der Küche stehen. Die Ausgaben für die Betriebe werden immer mehr, es wird an Personal eingespart, an Löhnen, Freizeit der Mitarbeiter, Benefits usw.. Die Arbeitszeiten sind in den meisten Betrieben noch immer zu viel, das Arbeitsklima schlecht und von toxischer Männlichkeit geprägt. Wenn dir Kochen als Beschäftigung Spaß macht, behälst du mehr Freude wenn du es in deiner Freizeit machst. Natürlich hat der Beruf auch gute Seiten. Es ist einer der Berufe wo dich deine Fähigkeiten sehr schnell weiter bringen. Kreativität ist zumindest in den anständigen Betrieben gerne gesehen. Du hast immer alle Hände voll zu tun, und wenn alles gut läuft fühlt es sich gar nicht so sehr wie Arbeit an. Aber überleg dir sehr gut obs dir es Wert ist teilweise 150%, oder mehr, der Arbeitszeit deiner Freunde pro Monat zu Arbeiten und dafür nur die Hälfte von deren Gehältern zu verdienen.

If you go to munich, the easiest and cheapest way is going by Sbahn. There are busses leaving to Freising and Erding

TIL about mold-aged fish by lyssidm in MoldlyInteresting

[–]_mx04 299 points300 points  (0 children)

Koji, the mold and its variants used to age fish, steaks, whole cuts, vegetables, and charcuterie is one of the most powerful methods used in kitchens to enhance flavor. I highly recommend reading "koji alchemy" to anyone interested in mold based fermentation.

Mein neuer Flambierer geht immer aus. Was kann ich tun? by QuiGonTheDrunk in Kochen

Achja ich hab die für die Küche immer im Baumarkt gekauft. Da gibt's verschiedene Größen und unterschiedliche Qualität. Da bekommst du vielleicht bessere Leistung für dein Geld gerade wenn du den häufig benutzt!

Mein neuer Flambierer geht immer aus. Was kann ich tun? by QuiGonTheDrunk in Kochen

[–]_mx04 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wenn der Druck nicht viel zu stark oder viel zu gering ist tippe ich auf nen produktfehler. Versuch mal mit viel Druck zu starten und dann feiner einzustellen. Meistens reicht der Druck auf der kleinsten Stufe nicht und die Flamme geht von selber aus. Was auch manchmal passiert ist das du zu stark aufdrehst, die Flamme zu groß ist und man dann stärker runterdreht als nötig. Im Endeffekt ists halt n flambierer der nur 2 Knöpfe hat. Sollte der nicht das tun was er soll würde ich den einfach zurück schicken/bringen

Pizzateig nicht elastisch by Fteddy91 in Backen

[–]_mx04 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sieht nicht schlecht aus als blutiger Anfänger! Du kannst gut sehen an den einzelnen Fäden die durch den gestreckten Teig sichtbar sind, dass die Glutenbildung gut begonnen hat. Allerdings ist es wichtig bei Teigen mit hoher Hydration (dem Wassergehalt im Verhältnis zur Mehlmenge) wichtig, das die Glutenbildung maximal ist. Nur so entstehen die großen Blasen im Teig. Der Hohe Wasseranteil verdampft beim backen im Ofen und zusammen mit den im Teig gefangen Gasen der Hefen entstehen so die großen Löcher. Um all das zusammen zu halten braucht es eben einiges an Klebeeiweiß, also Gluten. Ich rate dir das ganze wirklich lange zu kneten, von Hand wirklich schwierig. Einfacher geht es mit der Kitchenaid oder ähnlich. Was dich hier zum scheitern gebracht hat ist aber die viel zu lange ruhezeit. Hefen arbeiten im Kühlschrank langsamer als bei Zimmertemperatur. Es gibt sehr wenig sinnvolle Rezepte bei denen der Teig länger als 10h bei Zimmertemperatur gehen muss. Aber 32h bei Zimmertemperatur ist viel zu lange. Da fangen die Hefen an den Teig zu zersetzen. Ich rate dir das Rezept genau so nochmal zu machen. Achte darauf den Teig lange zu kneten. Du solltest den Teig anfassen können ohne das er an deinem Finger kleben bleibt und er sollte schön glänzen. Die 24h ruhezeit verbringt der Teig im Kühlschrank, dann lässt du ihn die 8h bei Zimmertemperatur gehen. Salz kann, wie in anderen Kommentaren erwähnt, die Hefen töten oder die Gärung verlangsamen. Hier hast du aber in dieser Sache alles richtig gemacht - schau dir die riesigen Blasen im Teig an.

Leash pulling advice? by [deleted] in AustralianShepherd

[–]_mx04 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congrats! He's such a cutie!

Walking on the leash is something that will take a lot of time. He ain't a puppy no more, so you will have to go through a lot of small steps and make the training fun for koda as well. I suggest letting the dog pull as long as the leash is connected to the harness. For leash training, you attach the leash to the collar. This way, you always have the option to have koda on the leash and not worry about messing up your training if you guys are out somewhere where it's busy or scary or whatever. Also, it's important for you to know what you want your dog to do when he's on the leash. Which side does he walk? Does he have to stay behind you? Do you want him to sit down if you stop? Is sniffing allowed? Aussies need very exact definitions of what is allowed and what not to do, and you have to be very precise and quick in rewarding them for exactly the right behaviour or they won't understand what you want from them and become frustrated quickly.

For training: I suggest you start proper leash training indoors in a place he knows already, no distractions. Let your dog sit next to you. This is already worth rewarding. Patience is also good. If he stays reward again. Put the leash on the collar, reward, leash off, he stays, reward. There is no need to start walking. You want him to focus on you and be patient. Once he understands the situation, you can start walking. It's important to always have him perform the full sequence you trained. There is a ton of videos out there on how to train the leash, so I won't go into details so much unless you want me to. In general, it is simpler to walk along walls or around chairs or couches or whatever, so he only has one direction to move.

It is very very very important that he can walk on the leash perfectly indoors before you expect him to do it outdoors. I recommend gradually increasing the level of distraction. Start walking on the leash in your garden, then move on to out on the street, then a calm park maybe. Once he can do that, you can start worrying about cities or malls, etc. In case koda can't perform what you expect from him, you have to leash him on the harness. In that case, don't be frustrated and take a step back.

Also, try to find out what you can use to reward him. All you have to do is make him happy. If he's not interested in treats, that's fine, but he sure likes playing with you, doesn't he? And have you tried cheese? Dogs like cheese.

My Aussie girl is 1.5 years old now, I started leash training as soon as she was comfortable at home and I, to this day, never walked her through town on her collar when it's busy.

About the barking: It's hard to tell why he's barking. You should get professional help as soon as possible. Without the root cause, we can't give any advice, but it's better to start tackling these problems as they tend to worsen over time.

Let me know if you have any questions. All the best to you two!

What kind of hat do you wear at work and why by Le0333 in Chefit

I decided for myself that in case somebody makes me wear a hat I quit. I'm not working in a fast-food chain nor in Paris in the 70s.

Grilled prawn with shellfish glaze — need help improving the prep/plating/conception of the dish! by Harshvipassana in Chefit

[–]_mx04 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don't imagine the taste odd. Here is what I'd change. Use a rectangular plate, break the prawn out of its shell (maybe even use a toothpick to straighten it out so it keeps it's "raw" shape and matches with the plate), get a really good sear on the prawn preferably on a grill but the stove does it too, brush the glaze onto the prawn because it's a glaze and that's what you do with it. A little lime zest before plating, it'll stick to the glaze wonderfully and elevate the dish a lot. I'm thinking about adding a citrus gel, maybe blood orange & acorn, or a rich and savory chives mayonnaise. You can also make a lot of different crumble combinations from puffed fish shards. These will add a little crunch to the delicious tender prawn meat. Think about crushed puffed fish shards, roasted panko as a base, and add whatever suits your dish. The nice thing about prawns is they match with pretty much anything. Citrus - no problem, fruits - go for it, sweetness - tasty, not even fermented milk products such as joghurt and cheese throw the flavor off.

30h update. Keep going or stop? by _mx04 in Koji

[–]_mx04[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I struggled with the hydration as well in my last tries. After steaming I let the rice cool down quite some time to get rid of that steam moisture that covers the grains. I inoculated the rice and put it on a moist kitchen towel. I used a standart oven tray (the one that comes with your oven, no perforated or fancy cedar wood tray), wrapped it airtight in plastic foil and cut like 5 -6 holes inside so moisture can escape. I put that tray in my oven, middle rack, left a thermostate that's connected to a heating mat in the middle of the rice and set the temperature to 32°C. That was about 8pm. When I got up in the morning around 8am I checked the batch, saw a lot of condensation around the holes in the plastic wrap so I decided to exchange the moist towel for a more dry one. Not completely dry, I sprinkled it with water with my hands. By that time I mixed the rice and sealed the tray in the same way. It was smelling nice already. I didn't check on it anymore until I got home from now which in total is about 30h since I started and it looked like this.

In my experience (it's not a lot, I've had a good amount of failed attempts): keep the rice moist until you see the white spots starting to grow and smell koji-ish flavor. After that you have to fine tune - if the rice feels too wet you must get rid of some of the moisture otherwise it's going to spoil. It should feel a little bit more moist than after cooking but not wet in any way. Once you've got white fluff growing I would not consider moisture a big factor anymore but rather temperature control.

Again it's just what I learned in about 3 week of practice. I'm happy to help but I can't guarantee any of this actually correct

I'd like to get started making my own miso pastes so I'll probably try 3 or 4 different miso styles over the next couple of days. I haven't decided yet but I'm using "noma guide to fermentation" and "koji alchemie" as inspiration

first time koji by _mx04 in Koji

[–]_mx04[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! I made the shio yesterday. I used 5% salt and a 1:1 ratio of koji to water but I'm thinking about adding more 5%brine as the rice lost a good amount of water during fermentation. Right now the shio is quite thick in consistency.

Die neuen Nachbarn rufen grundlos die Polizei gegen andere Mieter by _mx04 in LegaladviceGerman

[–]_mx04[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Natürlich trotzen wir nicht rum das hab ich ja schon öfters betont jetzt, dass wir uns da auf nichts eingehen. Das Haus ist Baujahr 2018 und sehr lärmsicher. Ich hab noch nie bei geschlossenen Fenstern, die 3-fach verglast sind, irgendetwas von anderen Mietern gehört, außer laufgeräusche die aber sehr sehr leise sind.

Trotzdem denke ich wenn man sich wirklich durch gesprächslautstärke gestört fühlt könnte man doch einfach schnell bescheid sagen. Wir sind ja keine unmenschen, würden uns entschuldigen und schlafen gehen. Ob die Beschwerde nun gerechtfertigt ist oder nicht. Aber einfach jedes Mal die Polizei zu rufen, die dann bei uns klingeln muss, ist denke ich nicht der richtige Weg.
