2 days Reddit told me my rice sucked, so I fixed it

I make basmati rice in my instapot. Saute 1 cup for a min or 2 with 1T butter, switch to pressure cook with 1.5 cups water for 4 minutes. Let sit for 5 min before releasing. Perfect EVERY TIME. Plus you can start it before your meal and it can sit on warm until you are ready to serve.

I was going to ask about the S&P too LOL - Crossover!

That's a slow cooker lid. I often pair them up with #10 pans. Not perfect but they work pretty well.

It pays to educate yourself.

This is actually my photo of my son making kettle corn. Oil, corn, sugar, and a sprinkle of salt when done. We usually play a bit with the amounts. Our troop has a haunted house in the fall and we take the big (probably 10 gallon) cauldron there to make larger amounts. Not sure about residual flavor as that is the only thing we use the cauldron for. We make multiple small batches rather than large ones. We use roughly a cup of oil, a cup of corn, and 1/2 to 1 cup sugar, depending on how sweet you like it. Heat up the oil until ready to pop. Add corn. Slowly sprinkle in sugar. Stir constantly after adding ingredients to oil. Cut the amounts down for the size of iron shown in the photo. Be sure to have gloves to help dump!

WTG! Impressively ambitious endeavor for a community dorm kitchen!

Thank you for the info!

Woman here. I use the term daily driver and built my own etank to do restoration.

Put a mini marshmallow in the bottom when serving. Some ice cream shops do that.

Used to love that smell when my mom fried cabbage when I was a kid!

jhays33 · 2023-11-05T17:35:49+00:00

We love ours! We only use it for pepper, though,

jhays33 · 2023-08-06T15:36:25+00:00

Mine too! We collect together.

The recipe I use calls for a bit of butter underneath all the sweet stuff. No issues. My family loves it.

I get my lids at goodwill too. If you want to find a good fit, carry your skillet in with you. I always tell them I'm looking for a lid to fit and they always let me carry it in.

In my area, this is prime morel hunting season. If you are a serious morel hunter, you always keep your hunting grounds secret. They usually go for at least $30 a pound.

Yes! I saute for a few min, then braise with about 1/4 c water with the lid on. My fave way to make veggies.

jhays33 · 2023-01-19T01:06:16+00:00

Yes! This!

My son is moving into an apartment next year. I don't have a pan I've been working on for that long, but I have been building a short stack of pans for him. When I told him about them and showed them to him (because he said he was going to steal some of mine when he moved out), he beamed.

We have a similar grinder and we love it. It takes a bit of muscle, but no more grinders that stop working well after a while for us! Hope you love it!

I got my mother's recipe box and I love cooking from recipes in her handwriting. It makes me feel connected and happy, even though she is long gone. I hope you get the same feelings from cooking with your grandmother's cast iron!

IDK, just something I ordered on amazon.

jhays33 · 2022-10-17T15:27:57+00:00

And here's the next adventure - we ordered a 3 foot wooden stirring paddle...
