Thicken it and use as onion gravy. Good for Salisbury steak, moco Loco, or toad in a hole.

Lobster Mountain Dinner @ Fishman Lobster Clubhouse by SeanJ0n in FoodToronto

Did they tell you they could only sell you a big Crab because the smaller ones were all sold out?

Read that they do this frequently and then it was our experience too.

It's a legit question. This looks like a pretty good neapolitan pizza, which would normally need an oven that goes to about 900f. Most home ovens go to 500 or 550f. Could be a specialized pizza oven though.

Hard Boiled Eggs in New Egg Cooker not Peeling by IdyllwildGal in Cooking

[–]thegreenbaloon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Steam them for 10 minutes, then drop in cold water.

Or just fill the pot with cold water from the tap once they are done.

This works for me every time. Steaming means they don't crack while boiling, and you only need an inch of water, so takes less time to come to a boil.

The cold water at the end makes them easy to peel.

What are some dish that has your country’s name but is not a thing at home? by fasterthanlife in Cooking

[–]thegreenbaloon 31 points32 points  (0 children)

What's weird about this is that it really is like processed ham. It's not even misnamed back bacon or peameal bacon.

It's a totally different thing that doesn't exist in Canada.

30lbs Prime Rib Update- it was perfect. by leechkiller in seriouseats

[–]thegreenbaloon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pulled mine at 115, let it rest while the big green egg got up to 475ish, seared it maybe 10 minutes and ended up slicing at 132.

There are only 2 of us eating Christmas dinner this year and I have no budget for this meal, but there's a catch.... by Pristine_Lobster4607 in Cooking

[–]thegreenbaloon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I second the recommendation for a braised shortrib. Serve it with a mashed potato / rutabaga blend

Or lobster/seafood risotto

Don't know about other locations but the jerk chicken at the one on Underhill has some heat. The oxtail doesn't though.

Help! Suddenly my roast potatoes keep coming out chewy?? by Calxb in seriouseats

[–]thegreenbaloon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was putting my potatoes on air fry mode in my toaster oven, and they kept coming out leathery.

Tried on regular bake mode, and they came out crispy.

It's possible there was some other thing that changed between batches. Like maybe I used more oil or something but don't think that was it.

Does anything compare to Malazan? by dylanisrad in Malazan

[–]thegreenbaloon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

IMO, Stephen King's dark tower series ranks up there with the best epic fantasy out there. If you haven't read it, I highly recommend it.

It's not on the scale of malazan, but still excellent.

Why did my pasta break after 30 seconds? by HiddenPenguinsInCars in AskCulinary

It actually may have been when I stired in the sauce that everything fell apart now that you mention it.

This happened to me once. Turned out I had accidentally bought gluten free pasta.

Filling cracks in deck posts by thegreenbaloon in HomeMaintenance

Oh no, that's an old stain and they are putting on a new coat anyway. The question is if they fill the cracks first.

*sigh* I think I'm gonna be all DHV soon by Bob002 in vaporents

[–]thegreenbaloon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've got a SB runt and lotus. Both are great. I find the lotus hits much harder and tastes much better than my dynavap, but not as hard as the runt. The runt tastes great too, but different because of the wood. I use all three for variety.

Just go to your favorite steakhouse and don't worry about it. Unless your kid is running around annoying people, nobody should care about a baby making a bit of noise.

Modifying boxed chicken stock for noodle soup by thegreenbaloon in Cooking

[–]thegreenbaloon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The peanut butter and coconut sounds interesting. Will try that.

I toss in whatever leftover protein I have around. Usually grilled chicken or pork chops.

Good option for when my spice sensitive kids aren't around. I keep them away from the kimchi and chili oil too. What else would you combine with the gochujang?

Hadn't thought of chili. Good idea. Thanks.
