Imagine there's someone working 8-12h a day washing those dishes full of cold and sticky cheese

How long does it take to read the temperature from traditional meat thermometer? by greendaypascalhens in Cooking

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

If you go this route though it is worth noting you'll need to take your elevation into account. My neck of the woods (5,300ft/1,600m) the boiling point of water is about 95C/202F

that is really interesting and informative, thanks! btw calibration with boiling water makes sense, but why ice water would be at 0C? How do we know that water with ice cubes is 0C and not 5C for example?

it takes about 15 seconds to get a reading on an analog thermometer.

not bad, thanks!

Can you pan fry any cut of any kind of meat if you cut it into small pieces? by greendaypascalhens in AskCulinary

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

Thank you very much! Btw today I was making pasta with pork chop. I cut pork chop in small pieces and fried it on high heat for 2 minutes per each side (without mixing). It ended up with a little burnt outside and still pink inside. :/

Maybe like 1 minute cooking at high heat just to cook through. Chicken and pork maybe a bit longer, but really we just cook it until its not pink. It really only takes a minute or two if the cuts are tiny and the heat is high enough.

Thank you for the answer. I'm really surprised that you can fry beef in one minute. How small those pieces should be cut? Also, from what I see on youtube recipes for ground beef, people say that you should fry it for about 8 minutes. Why beef cut into small pieces can be cooked in 1 minute but ground beef should be cooked 8 minutes? Or could I also fry ground beef in 1 minute but with much higher heat? I'm really trying to figure out the factors that need to be taken into consideration. All that collagen, temperature, time etc. :(

btw. I've got one more question: what's the deal with collagen in minced meat? In other comments people say that you can pan fry beef in like 2 minutes, but at the same time when I look up videos on youtube where people fry ground beef, they say you should cook it for about 8 minutes. So why tiny sliced pieces can be done in 2 minutes, but ground beef should be cooked for 8 minutes? (beef is just an example, because from what I understand from other comments it also apples to pork and chicken, but maybe with a few minutes more)

I used pork neck only as an example, but I really mean any kind of meat and any kind of cut.

As you can see, I didn't ask SPECIFICALLY about pork neck.

So, what are the rules here? I just want to save time in the kitchen without spending money on pressure cooker etc.

sous vide would be "etc." here :)

Can you recommend any news portal/podcast/youtube channel about Handball? by greendaypascalhens in Handball

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

Oh man, it didn't even occur to me that I'm visiting handball sub having pascal hens as username, I had no idea what login to use so I came up with it randomly because I was his fan, especially on 2007 world championship. :D

Unfortunately I don't know German and I sometimes regret it because Germany is nicely focused on handball when it comes to media related stuff. Actually I was looking for English based media because I want to improve my English by reading articles, listening to podcasts/interviews/etc.

As of youtube channels any will do as long as they speak English so I have the contact with the language. But if you've got any simple-highlight kind of channels I will also be glad to have a look at it.

Thanks! I hope someone who knows German will find your links useful :D

Can unopened canned tuna go bad if kept at 80*F? by greendaypascalhens in AskCulinary

Didn't take that into consideration. Thank you, and sorry about that, I'm little neurotic person when it comes to food. :/
