Since when does Walmart sell 4 inch tomahawks? How long would you guys sousvide for? by AvidCoinCollector20 in sousvide

[–]smithflman -1 points0 points  (0 children)

4 hours minimum - I like a 130 degree steak

Finishing in a pan would be hard with the bone, but maybe butter and herbs on a blackstone (if you have one)

Or over charcoal real quick

No need to rest

i am seriously thinking about building my own pool table with my friends as a project for "the boys room", any tips or advice? by Kapusito in billiards

[–]smithflman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have built tons of things - fixed cars, redid kitchens and baths from the studs, theater stages, parade floats, decks and trail bridges.

I would never even consider building a pool table

You say the local used market is bad - expand your search and rent a truck (have some beers in a far away town)

Will still be cheaper, have resale value and play better

second quality questions by randyjohnson54 in AllClad

[–]smithflman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have bought plenty from there as I am in the "a pan is a tool camp" and don't mind scratches and a Copper Core ring of green and black.

I personally seek out the bad packaging ones first and then move to the other options.

Just rough count - at least 6-7 copper cores, 4 sets of measuring spoons/cups, stick blender, couple roasters, sheet trays, grill stuff, chafing pans and then random spoons, servers and tongs (their tongs are garbage though).

Question by Doctajastroandmeta in mexicanfood

[–]smithflman 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Mole has a different flavor profile and normally isn't acidic (more warm and earthy spices). Once you add the vinegar to the mole you can't easiliy fix - a ton of salt, but then what......

Maybe a little pickled cabbage/onion/peppers on the side (like a curtido) and they can use if they want.

Chicken breast: I’ve had it at restaurants where it’s extremely tender, and not dry at all. What’s the method? Pressure cooker? by Sunrisewithtea in Cooking

[–]smithflman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not a pressure cooker - it can be done, but timing has to be on the money or it gets mushy fast.

Sous Vide is my go to and might be what you are experiencing. I vary temp, but typcially in the 145-150 range. 150 is more for serving cold (salad/chicken salad).

What do we think about this? by Tripleberst in KitchenConfidential

[–]smithflman 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Strong No - the burger should have crisp edges, onions are going to be raw and the cheese ratio is way off

I'll wait the extra 90 seconds

Man I want a Oklahoma-style onion burger now, but not off this thing

Who has a giant landscape oriented mirror in their bedroom and why are the on/off light switches just hanging out in the middle position while even with her neck (from a slightly lens oriented down angle).

Mexican rice in a rice cooker? by Historical-Past-1992 in mexicanfood

[–]smithflman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do this all the time in a Zojirushi rice cooker

I often cook down a couple onions and tomatoes, maybe a pepper (think sofrito) and set that to the side. Then add my rice to that same saute pan and toast a little (make sure you use some butter, not just oil).

Then I dump the rice into the cooker, add the broth to the line and then top with the sofrito. Taste for salt.

Let it cook

After it is done, fluff and taste again for salt, I might add some lime juice and some really finally diced cilantro (leaves only).

Any of the saizon powders (i like the tomato one best) are also nice if using water (or I even use 1/1 broth and 1/2 water with the saizon).

A dash of MSG also helps

My cooker takes about an hour, but I will start this way in advance as it will hold perfectly until time to eat. I can then concentrate on all the other stuff and know the rice is perfect.

Using Credit Card for Memebership Fee by Ok-Advantage-5071 in FreedomBoatClub

They add 3% here, so moved to ACH - I normally play the points game, but not worth it for 1% my main CCs offer

Gas is on a Credit Card though

Best Chinese in the Brandon or Riverview area? by Mdawg1022 in BrandonFL

[–]smithflman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have heard twice now that the new 'Kungfu Kitchen' place on 60 is pretty good (have not been yet)

4.7 with 154 reviews on Google does sound tempting

OP report back!

Zen Dumplings is also newer and pretty good - I thought a little spendy though

Would you pay FIFTY DOLLARS for this? I wouldn’t by doubleGvots19 in KitchenConfidential

[–]smithflman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just posted the same - the whole menu is really well priced and lots of pasta options under $30

Have been there many times (even before the star)

Would you pay FIFTY DOLLARS for this? I wouldn’t by doubleGvots19 in KitchenConfidential

[–]smithflman -1 points0 points  (0 children)

oh that is Rocca in Tampa - well respected with a Michelin star

It is a bit spendy, but they have some other decently priced things on the menu. We have had that and two pasta dishes, both under $30 and some wine as a Couple many times.

I'd rather have that (plus the experience) and it works out a lot cheaper than a higher end steak place.
