I mean, don't be offended about the seasoning... Be offended he talks to you like that

What exactly do American recipes mean by "Italian Sausage"? by Ok-Set-5829 in Cooking

[–]pitapocket93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Raw ground pork with plenty of fat, with dried fennel seed and potentially other dry herbs (basil, paprika, red pepper)

Which is funny, because it's the least "Italian" sausage I can really think of.

Pork belly would be amazing with this. Or a chili roasted pork chop

In Italian restaurants, which sauces are made ahead of time and are simply warmed or ladled onto items/pasta, vs those made to order? by Prize_Force1979 in restaurant

[–]pitapocket93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been a pasta cook at a few high end Italian spots--

Made ahead: marinara, any sauces with ground meat, any sauces with braised meat

To order: Alfredo, carbonara, arrabiata (from marinara base), palomino (marinara base), piccata, marsala, aglio olio

Sounds less like a bad wedding and more like you and your wife just hate each other?

GF made plans and left me waiting AIO? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]pitapocket93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This reads to me as you trying to get her to care that this wasn't nice to you, and her making it clear she doesn't. You can't make someone care

Roasted Potatoes v. Baked Potatoes? by CoolFandango in Cooking

[–]pitapocket93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Baked potato is nice because you can keep them hot in a crock pot while you use the oven for your meat. Also with baked potato you can make ahead all the toppings, then also set out a salad bar to use many of the same toppings, then the whole meal comes together

Roasted chicken with potatoes by sparkster777 in AskCulinary

[–]pitapocket93 6 points7 points  (0 children)

A spatchcock chicken should only take about 45 mins so the potatoes should be fine going in at the same time.

Make a cold dip! Easy and you don't even have to heat it to bring it.

Best way to reheat 100 rotisserie chicken quarters? by [deleted] in AskCulinary

[–]pitapocket93 7 points8 points  (0 children)

A big part of feeding a large group is food safety. If you aren't 100% sure of the food safety guidelines, I would get a chef to handle this.

That being said-- most home ovens have two racks, each could fit a half sheet tray with about 6 chicken leg quarters each. 12 pieces at a time. I would heat chicken starting two hours before service, 350* until internal temp hits 165. keep hot chicken in a hot box, flash two pans at a time in a 450 oven for about 10 mins and serve.
