>what other food (((lies))) are there??
One in three fish sold at restaurants and groceries are fraudulently mislabeled. The US imports 90% of it's seafood. Less than 2% of that is inspected for fraud. Your red snapper and tuna? isn't. 87 and 59 percent mislabeling rates.

This isn't counting the legally 'market labeled' fishes that are sold as things they aren't because of the legal vaugeries of marketing terms.

More a basic bitch technique than "advanced" but this helped me:

When I first started in a kitchen, I had problems with temperature control. We used butter in our pans but because I kept my pans rocket hot for quick turn around on eggs, I'd always burn the goddamn milk solids, and the little black bits would get stuck to said eggs, which obviously wasn't ideal ("it's pepper" only worked like, once. Yes this was a very shitty kitchen)

So I learned to make a ghee, or cook down my butter. I'd drop my block for the day in the pan on medium high heat, and let it melt down. Then, you let it foam and brown, but just keep cooking. The milk solids will begin to break down and blacken, and the butter will foam again. But just keep cooking.

Finally, you'll be left with a pan of amber-gold oil with little black bits in it. Take it off the heat and strain into a container of your choice, with cheese cloth (or coffee filters). Discard the solids, you're left with this golden oil which has a nutty, buttery taste; all the flavor of melted butter and a MUCH higher smoke point. What you've essentially done is cooked out everything in the butter that wasn't lipid, and the resulting substance (which can be called a ghee, depending on how long you cook it) won't burn on high heat, tastes like toasted butter, and keeps for much longer.

You can use this to fry... well, basically anything you'd cook in a pan with butter

Heh.. heh... woofles..

what are the perks of using margarine instead of butter?
