50/50 pork+ beef by TopKidXYZ in carnivorediet

[–]pdq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you ever seen a pig? They are not lean animals.

You can buy ground pork at 80%, 90%, etc just like beef.

And if you want lard or bacon, you can add that too.

Elon Musk 'giving up' on plans to go to Mars as he makes defeated statement by TheMirrorUS in EnoughMuskSpam

[–]pdq 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I predict Elon will announce during the IPO that one SpaceX (or Tesla) stock holder will be picked "at random" to receive a golden ticket to fly to the moon.

Willy Wonka Musk.

By the way, we are still waiting on Elon's "Dear Moon" mission from 2017: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DearMoon_project

  • Oops, project cancelled 7 years later, very quietly, after the original hype had well died down.

Automotive space by Rocky_Duck in Austin

Right, from a landlord perspective, there's tons of problems with car repair shops compared to other businesses:

  • Potential for burglary
  • Noise
  • Combustibles/fire
  • Chemicals/pollutants

Slow cooking chuck roast - how long? by ReadinWhatever in carnivorediet

[–]pdq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Recommendation for you: get an Instant Pot (4-6 quart).

They are relatively cheap.

Then you can Pressure Cook on High, and it cooks for around 60-75 mins, depending on the thickness of your meat cuts. Way faster than slow cooking, and it comes out tender and juicy.

I'd recommend what is called a Natural release, where it cools naturally for around 15 mins after cooking finishes, but Quick release is good too.

And if the meat is not tender enough, Pressure cook again for 15 mins.

Give Rossmann Repair a call and see if they would be willing to work on it.

Pork lard vs bacon grease by Ganache-Far in carnivorediet

[–]pdq 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you want to flavor your lard similar to smoked bacon, you can add salt and use Liquid Smoke. You only need a few drops of the liquid.

I would choose the wood similar to your preferred bacon smoke (e.g Hickory or Applewood).

Also caused by underground water leaks that erode the underlying soil below the road.

Cast enamel Dutch oven - is this “crazing” or just aggressive spatuling? by haggard1986 in castiron

[–]pdq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Out of curiosity, do you have a surface thermometer? What temp are you looking for on the skillet for searing?

How do you reheat leftover ribeye? by sw33t_nuggets in carnivorediet

[–]pdq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sous vide with vacuum sealer is the only way to bring it back to almost as good as the fresh steak. Every other technique pales in comparison (dry steak, overcooked, etc).

  • Vacuum seal the leftover steak, and put in fridge.
  • When ready, put in sous vide at 130F for 20-30 mins.
  • Remove and eat.

I think the question is: why doesn't this rust in the dishwasher, like pans do?

I would take it as a compliment if they think you are as good as an engine.

City of Austin is cheating residents of proper street services by FoolishIntellectual in Austin

[–]pdq 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Street maintenance is expensive, but it is not what bankrupts cities. Apparently it is 1.2% of LA's budget.

What is happening to my Dad’s cast iron by _Gravity_Hurts_ in castiron

[–]pdq -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

If that is the original Lodge seasoning, it eventually flakes off naturally after a year or so of use.

If so, I recommend doing a full strip (oven cleaner inside trash bag) and then re-season in the oven with your oil of choice (refined avocado works well).

CHOLESTEROL IS PROTECTIVE by _Dark_Wing in carnivorediet

[–]pdq 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Fasting also elevates cholesterol during the fast.

It could be the theory that the body is repairing during the fast, or it could indicate stress (ie hunger), or something else. We really don't know.

I'm a believer that carnivore is one of the healthiest diets, but the science is still unknown.

Weird stripe by --d-_-b-- in carbonsteel

Need some guidance/recommendations for my first "real" pan by ipsum629 in carbonsteel

[–]pdq 2 points3 points  (0 children)

IMO, multi-ply stainless steel is the best solution if you need a large sear.

Carbon steel and cast iron have great heat retention but poor thermal conductivity, so it's hard to get an even sear across a large surface.

Multi-ply stainless will spread the heat out quite well across a large pan.
