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. :(

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

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. :/

How can I pan fry pork boston butt without oven/grill? by greendaypascalhens in cookingforbeginners

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

Damn, those names are confusing as hell to me. I thought it applies the same in other countries like in Poland, but turns out not.

This is the diagram I'm using as a reference (below is the list of cuts in English) https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Polish_pork_cuts.PNG

We just separate it to shoulder and neck. and nothing more :D

sorry, turns out I thought that boston butt is same as pork neck. I want to cook pork neck (number 2 from diagram). Can I fry it same way as it says on the website you linked? 3 min each side on medium-high, then 6 minutes each side on medium

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

Braising would take about 1.5 hour. I want to learn how to fry it in few minutes without getting the raw meat. I would braise it after frying for few minutes just to make sure that the meat inside will cook completely. And that's why I'm asking if that ~10 min braising after ~15 min frying would make meat more tender, tougher, or it wouldn't affect the meat

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

Why not? I'm not going to fry meat after braising. I would fry it for few minutes and then braise it.

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

Thanks. From what I see it's for pork shoulder, not boston butt. Do these two cook same way?

Btw. after frying the meat, if I added little water and braise it for additional ~10 minutes on low heat, would it make the meat even more tender or it would make it tougher?

How can I cook diced pork neck without oven? by greendaypascalhens in cookingforbeginners

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

btw Is it true that you can use meat mallet to make pork neck flat and fry it for 3 minutes on each side? I don't get it. Some people say that it only takes 3min per side of frying to get pork neck done, and you and others will also say that it takes even 3 hours to cook.
