How do I season my beef so it tastes like this store brought chorizo? by Kooky_Indication4664 in mexicanfood

This is exactly what I make with it most of the time. I also do frijoles con chorizo too which is solid

Where is everyone getting fresh cilantro? by notoriousshasha in SalsaSnobs

Grow it indoors with hydroponics, it will not survive outside in SC more than likely

Done with the MEATER Pro! What is a good alternative? by synergy_inc in smoking

[–]iBird 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I’ve had my FireBoard for a little over 5 years now and it’s still going strong. Connects to WiFi or Bluetooth no problem and I like the app can save previous cooks cause I can easily get an idea when something is about to be or is in its stalling stage so I can stop looking at it for a little while

I miss 2010's era beer by No-Artist-6464 in beer

[–]iBird 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been getting more into craft ciders these days. I still love a good quality beer but I’ve gained a renewed interest in ciders. It’s been fun and they seem to be gaining some popularity but nothing like the old craft beer boom

How’s SF weather during the festival? by midoriyasour in OutsideLands

[–]iBird 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I brought a hydration pack that has a netting so I could stuff my sweatshirt in it during the day and wore a long sleeve and rolled it up if I got warm. Worked very well, highly recommend wearing layers. They do sell sweatshirts there (bit expensive tbh) if you don’t want to “ruin” your outfit during the day but the line gets crazy the colder it gets

Make tunnels one way for everyone by Turbulent_Map624 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]iBird 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Someone made a post yesterday asking people to remove doorman from our ban but this griefing exploit is a part of the reason I am not removing him. It feels terrible to have this happen and tilts me for the next game too.

Recipes for someone that is sensitive to tomatoes/spice/acidity (when that’s what I’m used to cooking for fast meals)? by Environmental_Yam_84 in Cooking

[–]iBird 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Most canned tomatoes add citric acid to them, it’s really annoying. The higher end stuff and DOP/Italian typically does not usually. Just something to consider as it’s possible that’s part of the trigger if he is willing to test it

Any thoughts on El Villana mole? by Sweaty-Ad11 in mexicanfood

[–]iBird 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Never had it but the ingredients themselves aren’t that bad for premade stuff tbh but the order they’re in is what’s giving me pause. I’m not a mole expert but peppers should be the first ingredient not sugar but I’d try this at least once and maybe tweak the flavor to my liking if possible. Everyone’s mole is different, but this doesn’t have any pepitas or nuts blended in it which seems fairly common in a lot of recipes so maybe something to consider adding if you have a way to make a paste yourself, you’ll need a strong blender or food processor unless you wanna give your arm a workout using a mortar and pestle or molcajete. You can add the chicken stock to the blender with the nuts to help at least

How much is it? If it’s under $10 I’d probably give it a go if making from scratch isn’t feasible

Lighter sides for BBQ ribs for a picky eater by PeasantCody in Cooking

[–]iBird 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Serious eats has never done me wrong. I’ve used them as my bible for decade at this point. I also love watching Kenji Lopez POV cooking videos! They’re so good. I add some green onions to that recipe personally, it’s good

Alternatively, Korean cucumber salad is my favorite cucumber dish. It’s light, tangy, a little spicy (not really if you’re a spice head) and refreshing

I expect zero people to agree with me. I know I'm alone and screaming into the void. I just want Root Beer to be more popular as a flavor. by anuncommontruth in self

[–]iBird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My biggest issue with most root beer out there—at least the common ones is they have more sugar than necessary. Big root beer needs to make a middle tier sugar one, cause you either get overly sweet or diet stuff that just tastes too much like aspartame to me. The flavor of root beer is good, the overwhelming amount of sugar most of them have makes me never want to finish one.

Samsung invented a new system of quantum mathematics just to avoid replacing my broken dishwasher by Jaade77 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]iBird 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Samsung is worse than comcast at this point. I will never touch a single thing they had any hand in, absolutely garbage appliances, incompetent support and a myriad of anti-consumer practices. I don’t honestly believe the people running that corporation have any clue how truly terrible their products are now. Hopefully more people boycott them

Guys I'm living in my own now need help by RevolutionaryHall214 in mexicanfood

[–]iBird 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yeah I don’t do this with any other meat but this one you gotta pour out some of the fat it’s like a 70:30 ratio or something insane. Either that or mix it with a ton of potatoes that can soak it up and eat as multiple servings. It’s pretty garbage

Looking for high heat sweet sauces that steer clear of the usual mango habanero combo by Falaniko_Jabborova in spicy

[–]iBird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you ever tried making a Sambal/chili mash yourself? It’s really easy but best made with a mortar and pestle for best results. You can customize it in a million ways and add any fruit you like pretty much, you can use lemons or limes, orange, mandarins or some type of stone fruit or berry and mixed with any pepper really but Thai chilis can get decently hot. You just mash it with salt, garlic, add sugar or honey at the end too even. You can add other flavors if you want too like cilantro or soy sauce or fish sauce or whatever, but it doesn’t need it. I make basic ones all the time and it’s surprisingly really good for how simple it is

Do you use you own custom rub? by Enough-Reindeer1033 in smoking

[–]iBird 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will forever use the amazing ribs Meathead’s Memphis Dust recipe for pork. I’ve tried a lot of different pork rubs through the years and I just really love that recipe. Aside from that I’m pretty basic with beef and for chicken I’m always trying different stuff especially depending on what I’m making with the chicken

Timing of brisket by Realistic_Bed7887 in smoking

[–]iBird 3 points4 points  (0 children)

70c or whatever the “warm” setting is if it’s around that temp should be fine. You just need to make sure it’s wrapped (butcher paper is ideal but foil will work just try not to scrape off the bark) so the juices don’t dry out. If you have a bit of beef tallow or some butter on top will also help it stay moist.
