/ck/ - Food & Cooking

looks disappointing

>>11316479
I hope you added salt to that and plan to add pepper.

Nothing wrong with that. I’d eat it.

>>11316491
looks like the stuff that get's served at my college dining hall

which honestly isn't bad at all and it's pretty good for $12. I doubt that can sustain someone for 4-5 days though, unless you only eat one meal a day.

>>11316506
Of course. And will add salt and pepper to each serving as needed.

>>11316523
Literally better than the overpriced garbage at Panera. That's a huge stock pot. That's 15 bowls' worth in there.

>>11316479
Have fun with that. I like a bowl of chicken noodle soup but it's not something I'd want to eat daily. Too monotonous.

Poor people are cringe

>>11316546
I'm not poor, just cheap. And it's low cal per serving.

>>11316479
>$12
i just made 15 california rolls for less than that.

That doesn't look bad at all. The key to a great chicken soup is a great chicken stock/broth. If it's not rich as fuck, then you've got chicken water, and nobody wants that.

I made Chicken and Dumplings tonight. Bought a 4 dollar whole chicken and used the carcass to make a broth to start out.

>>11316622
I took no pictures in between because I forgot that I wanted to do this, but this is the finished product, shit was pretty tasty.

>>11316556
You are poor, a non poor people wouldn't be so frugal. Such minuscule savings aren't significant to a non poor person

>>11316632
What about a lazy person? Not having to cook for 5 days sounds great.

>>11316632
Warren Buffett is worth $90 billion but spends $3,00 for breakfast at McDonald's every morning because he's cheap. So you can think what you want.

Just showing the other anons who don't have a lot of money for food that they can do same thing.

>>11316584
i do, i do
i buy canned chicken broth (no sodium), microwave it for a couple minutes (covered), add black pepper, and drink

>>11316665
Irrelevant, saving a couple of bucks every day on food won't ever make you rich, but you are eating like a dog and lowering your quality of life doing it

I made a poverty chilli but it wasn't as cheap as I expected.
4 pound for ground beef
4 poind for 4 cans of beans
2 pound for 2 cans of tomatos,
some spices and shit.
It's ok, but this will maybe last 2 full days at best.

>>11316479
Pro tip: don’t add noodles in advance. They will just get mushy and disintegrate. Wait until you heat the portion size you want, then add them. Par cook them and store separately so it doesn’t take long to reheat.

>>11316678
Actually I'm upping my quality of life because the soup is delicious and low cal. But keep trying.

Also, mix it up a little during the week. Add extras, like a raw egg and wontons, or a squeeze of lemon and some fresh parsley to keep interesting all week.

>>11316479
Needs pepper it looks like but other than that I would eat and enjoy.

>>11316529
Oh so you're bad at cooking

>>11316797
A bad cook over-salts too early...

>>11316628
Oh God I thought the first one was your meal and I was like what the fuck

>>11316674
Why, do you have some gay reverso pica or something

>>11316817
A bad cook doesn't season his food ya retard.

>>11316833
Since you have a reading comprehension problem and obvious Down's Syndrome, there's no point talking to you

>>11316580
Yeah, but you have California rolls.

>>11316678
Get a load of this guy

>>11316479
Last time it was bean soup, wasn't it? You sure eat a lot of fucking soup, nigger. Keep rubbing those pennies together, Abraham.

>>11316843
Having to season your food when it's already in the bowl is not only an indication of a bad chef, it's the mark of a man who lacks conviction and is filled with cowardice.

You are an NPC anon.

People are always surprised at how much they spend at food if they actually keep track of it. Food is expensive.

>>11316901
Not everyone likes the same amount of salt and pepper. That's y its on the table at every restaurant in the world.

>>11316990
You should only have to salt or pepper food that isn't seasoned well, this is not a hard concept to understand you pleb.

Go to a restaurant that's actually nice and see if you can find the table salt.

>>11316679
I thought you'd made 10 pounds of food before I figured out you were talking about money.

>>11316632
Imagine being such a sad fag that you need to make this post on an anonymous chink forum. OP's soup looks comfy af. Being poor has nothing to do w/ enjoying simple foods sometimes.

GJ anon. Looks just like the kind grammy would make for me when I had the flu ^_^

>>11316901
Listen, faggot: I seasoned with salt and pepper in the pot while cooking. I didn't want to over salt it. Seasoning in the bowl when I eat is the same as seasoning a dish you are about to serve a customer in a restaurant. I can't believe I have to argue such a stupid point.

>>11317100
that guys retarded, don't listen to him. obviously you salt as ur cooking but you don't wanna oversalt the whole thing. you did it just right m8.

>>11317100
You know how you don't over salt it?

TASTE WHILE YOU COOK YOU RETARD.

Seriously if you knew anything at all about cooking you'd know how ridiculous you sound right now. The expectation should never be on the guest to season the food you're serving them, that's the whole point of fucking cooking food. It's alright that you cook shitty under-seasoned food, but don't be foolish and deny it, you'll never get better that way.

You are a shitty cook, and a coward. Read some books about cooking and learn to season your food.

>>11317002
Del Frisco's in NYC. Salt and pepper on the table.

https://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaurant_Review-g60763-d457151-Reviews-Del_Frisco_s_Double_Eagle_Steakhouse-New_York_City_New_York.html#photos;aggregationId=101&albumid=101&filter=7&ff=342832385

>>11317106
Or he's bad at measuring. There's a reason you season, then taste it, while cooking.

>>11317128
Who is helping you type considering your profound Down's Syndrome?

>>11317133
This isn't exactly a secret, but there's a fine line where you stop salting. Its 'salt to taste' but for me that means just enough salt to bring it together. Someone else might wanna add more though. I don't like salting more than is necessary because its presumptuous. Unless I'm gonna be the only one eating it, then idc

>>11317129
>Nice restaurant
>Posts a steak House chain
It's like talking to a literal child.

>>11317154
That's my whole point though, that fine line is literally the difference between someone who's good at cooking and someone who's not. And op is not.

Also one thing I will mention is that this weekend conversation started from a comment where an anon said it needed salt and pepper and t. retard said it did need those things and that they will be added to each bowl. Now he's saying he did add them while cooking so he's changing the conversation.

But I reiterate. If you cook a meal, and someone has to reach for the table salt after you serve them, it's a mark of failure.

>>11317174
*Whole conversation

>>11317174
Or they like salt more than the average npc. Its hard to know without tasting op's soup.

>>11317174
>You retard: Now he's saying he did add them while cooking so he's changing the conversation.

You literal drooling dumbass, I always said I added salt and pepper at first. It's the 6th fucking post in the thread, fucking idiot. You people are profound morons who can't fucking read.

>>11317156
>Has Down's Syndrome
>Can't accept when he's proven wrong
>Commits suicide within week

>>11317197
Well we can obviously read as we're posting on a word based internet board.

Not only can I read, I can cook a lot better than you you peasant. I hope one day you realize you can get better and don't have serve flavorless food to your guests or to yourself. You'll get there one day, but you have to try ya faggot.

>>11317199
If I acknowledge you said "down syndrome" will you stop trying to make a joke about it? Cuz it's really making me feel bad for you.

>>11317213
I assumed your mom was just interpreting your drooling grunts due to your Down's Syndrome and doing the typing for you.

Homemade soup is crazy cost efficient. Really flexible, can use parts you wouldn't normally. Super nutritious. Soup is best food.

>>11317219
>>11317239
Apparently not.

>>11316479
I was just thinking about making chicken noodle soup recently. What the fuck. Although I was thinking of a gluten-free version.

>>11317250
I really like to have it with bread for dipping. My wife made sausage tortellini soup tonight and we had seasoned bread for dipping, it was fantastic.

>>11316901
Salt should be added to soup while cooking to pull flavors into the broth. Pepper should be added prior to serving as boiling pepper can bitter the broth and the point of adding pepper to soup is to slightly differentiate the bites from each other so you don't get too used to the flavor.

>>11316679
It's October. Get a pumpkin, bake it to soften. Scoop the insides, caramelize them a bit, add to your chili. It adds a nice sweetness, it's dirt cheap, somewhat nutritious, and will really expand how many servings you get.

12 bucks seems expensive to me.
15 bucks feeds me for 2 weeks.

>>11316479
i’m allergic to chicken

>>11317302
I live in Jew York. And that was a cheap grocery store for here.

>>11317302
>15 bucks feeds me for 2 weeks.
Prove it.

>>11317561
Celery is gay and so are you.

>>11316628
I prefer a little more broth but it looks preddy dang tasty

Keep the noodles out until you're ready to serve. Then heat up only as much as you're going to eat and cook the noodles in that. Keep the rest separate.

Soggy noodles are gross and they soak up all the broth.

>>11317582
Not generally a fan of celery, but celery is great in it. Also vitamins, nutrients, etc.

>>11317590
Yes you're right. And normally, I'd agree, but I've come to like the noodles sucking up the broth overnight.

Arguing over seasoning in a home cooked meal. Wow, it's like you guys really are armchair chefs. Nobody cares about the "proper" way to season a home cooked meal.

The OP is obviously not a professional cook (why would he need to make 5 days worth of food for himself if he works in a restaurant), but at least he's helping the environment and our health care by cooking for himself, unlike the majority of Americans who cant even make chicken stock.

>>11317617
Bet ya a blowjob he didn't make the stock you mongoloid

>>11317622

Even if it wasn't a "real" chicken stock with mire poix and roasted bones, I'm sure he added enough white meat to impart sufficient chicken flavor to the soup...

And so what if he added the fettuccine... Some people like the wet noodle texture, especially if you grew up on it.

>>11317617
OP here. Thanks.

I'm not poor, just cheap. I just wanted to show the poor anons that, yes, you can make delicious (to me), cheap food that will feed you for 5 days. Here is proof.

And all I get is shit about when I put salt in it. JFC. This is 4chan, of course I'm gonna be insulted, but over the timing of adding salt? Really? The dumbest of dumb arguments on /ck/.

And with that, I have nothing else to say. But we'll see.

>>11317658
It's not our fault you don't know how to season food.

You don't have to be a little bitch about it.

>>11317622
Wow...since you were there, I'm surprised you didn't see my make a stock from the chicken scraps/bones after I took off the meat.

Now arrange with the other anon when you will be sucking his cock.

>>11317658
>I just wanted to show the poor anons that, yes, you can make delicious (to me), cheap food that will feed you for 5 days.

There's just no way that will last 15 meals. Even so, do you really want to eat chicken soup day in and day out for the work week?

Again, unless you're a skelly, there's no way that'll last you. My 100lb girlfriend wouldn't even last on that.

>>11317658
>So what if he cooks badly I still want to suck his cock
Are you... Are you samefagging OP or are you just really really gay?

>>11317666
I'll take made up bullshit for 500 Alex.

Also lying devil trips.

>>11317665
Dear https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/down-syndrome/symptoms-causes/syc-20355977

Please add the comments from these retards to your symptoms of what Down's Syndrome looks like. TY, anon.

>>11317658

Yeah, these one pot solutions are the best... When I was unemployed (before moving to a different country for a cooking job) I also pretty much only made these one pot meals.

Unless you live in the Arctic without access to basic vegetables like onions and carrots, there's no excuse to be unable to afford "healthy" food.

>>11317675
Facebook live, YouTube, Periscope, just let us know when you'll be sucking the cock.

>>11317675
You know that trips guarantees I'm telling the truth

>>11317700
I'm pretty sure you can't suck cock on YouTube. Can you imagine being this retarded?

>>11317706
OP literally said he wasn't gonna say anything else so you're probably not even OP. If you are post a pick of you making the stock (protip: you can tell from the color that's premade ya idjit). Jesus, not only do you not know anything about cooking you're really bad at lying. How many meals is that again? Is it 30 now?

>>11317711
Okay, so post the vid here with proper identifying information.

>>11317726
You know there's gay porn that you can watch everywhere on the internet if you wanna jack it right?

But no keep being retarded in the thread anon it's okay.

>>11317680
I think your down syndrome fetish is pretty retarded but I'll admit that one got me.

>>11317735
Let it be known that this lying motherfucker and fraud, who has the burden of proof of proving his case, has given in. He is to be forever shamed as a retard and a slobbering degenerate botched abortion with Down Syndrome.

He lost a bet, that he proposed, yet fails to honor that bet by sucking someone's cock, as promised.

At this point, the only honorable thing to do is to leave this website and film yourself hanging yourself in your bedroom closet, to be posted on here by a relative. I look forward to it.

Please leave a note with explicit instructions.

>>11317811
Except for I didn't lose and the retard posing as op was btfo from the thread.

I can't express you to how very very retarded you are, you should seek psychiatric help because I'm generally concerned about the way you perceive reality. If I had to take a bet I bet you go out by drinking bleach.

>>11316479
I was always told you can't eat cooked chicken past three days.

>>11316877
Unironically underrated post.

>>11317828
Then I should be dead like 50 times over.

>>11317617
You're fucking retarded dude, just like the OP.

>>11317817
See...how the law works, when you're the accuser, the burden of proof is on you. You failed to meet that burden, so you DO lose. You literally have no evidence supporting your claim.

This isn't the BK hearing, where some whore makes flimsy claims against BK, and suddenly it's on BK to disprove them...No, the burden of proof is on the accuser to prove her claims are true.

You have ZERO evidence refuting my claims, and supporting your claims, and in any court of law, you lose. Get it???

When will you be sucking that other anons's cock so we know you're a man of your word?

>>11316632
Look up miser in the dictionary. Rich people have died because they didn't want to pay to have broken bones professionally treated.

>>11316479
Looks good anon, did you make your own stock?

I could see myself eating that during the week but maybe adding more veggies/rice later in the week to bump up calories. Maybe occasionally some hot sauce or soy + green onions to change things up

>>11317274
Good tip anon, I might have to try that out

>>11316845

>>11316479
Should add some black pepper and parsley.

>>11316479
>Not using turkey meat
heh

Chicken, ($4 for ~5lbs @78¢/lb but only using the skin, bones, cartilage and breast meat; the rest gets frozen for future use, so only using about $2worth)
Carrots, celery and onion, 1lb total ($1/lb each, $3 total, but only need $1worth of ingredients)
Fresh lovage, 2oz ($1.49 per 1oz pack, need 2)
For cheaters only, you big cheater, you: vegetable or chicken stock cube, 4 ($1.19/pk of 2, but only need 40¢ worth)
Ghetto, La Moderna-brand Mexipasta, 66¢ (33¢ per 7oz/200g pack but only need 50¢ worth)
Salt, as needed (free, cuz you have a fuckton of salt packets in your drawer, next to the cutlery)

Total spent for 4 servings: $11.83
Total cost (how much of each ingredient is used, in $ worth): $6.88

Time to break down the chicken: about 10 minutes for untrained people
Time to peel the carrots and onions, stem the lovage and chop all the vegetables: about 15 minutes for untrained people
Time to pressure cook the chicken scraps, vegetable scraps and lovage stems for stock then depressurise the cooked naturally (no quick release): about 65 minutes
Time to cut up the breast meat for soup: about 10 minutes
Time to build the soup with the breast meat, the vegetables, the stock and the lovage leaves: about 20 minutes
Total time spent: about 2 hours

>>11318716
lol
My best friend earns $123k does this and thinks this. He only owns a tiny AF condo outside the city and some swampland in Florida. I saw 'own' but really, the bank owns his condo.
I earn a little over half that ($55k from work and $10k-ish from passive income) and own my own house and an apartment building outright (house w/my own money, while the building, admittedly, was purchased mostly with inheritance $$$). He thinks I'm super poor because I don't think spending $55 on rather bad "Chinese" food served in a restaurant that looks like it was decorated by EVE from Wall-E is a good deal.
He also makes fun of my car, a diesel VW Golf/Rabbit (he owns three BMWs and a Mercedes of some sort).

>>11317735
>>11317811
Its so great how a comfy thread about chicken soup devolves into stuff like this on 4channel, I love this kyrgyzstani knitting board

>>11319131
or i can just work for 2 hours and earn 80 dollars and buy 10 quarts of chicken noodle soup of the same quality

>>11319212
That's why I included the time, Anon. So you can calcumuhlate whether or not the time investment is worth it. Of course, you're also including the 65 minutes of down time while the pressure cooker's doing its thing where you can fuck off and do something else, but even so, $52 ($40/hr + $12 for ingredients) will get you more chicken soup than you'd get from the breakdown I provided.
However, if you're like me and you hate every chicken soup you've had that isn't your family's way of making it, it might still be worth making your own despite the time investment.
Like a hillbilly at a speed-dating event, it's all relative.

>>11316833
nah a good cook can bring out the flavors without seasoning and lets each person they are serving season as needed. just because you're used to progresso canned soup doesn't mean they should all taste like that

>>11320792

why are there no seasoning other than the bay leaf?

there isn't some magical binding that keeps the flour from running away when you throw them in the water

>>11318069
I don't usually write down my recipes that aren't for baking, just freestyle it, to an extent, unless I find something I really, really like.

Broth
Whole chicken Carcass (remove Thighs, Breast, Wings, and Legs for later)
2 sticks celery
A head of garlic
1 quartered onion
2 carrots (depending on sizes, my kroger's has small carrots)
Black Peppercorns
Sprig of Thyme

>Put all together, pour water or preferably cheap chicken broth on it and get it boiling quickly.
>Let boil for 30-45 minutes, skimming off fat
>Strain
>Keep this shit to use for other stuff.
I basically infused some already decent enough Chicken Broth with a lot more flavor. If I had a lot more time I would have roasted the carcass and some wings and let it simmer for hours to get a real good batch.

I oven roasted the Legs, thighs, and wings. I seasoned it and cooked it in the oven with foil over it before shredding it and refrigerating. As for the breast, they were deboned for later.

2 sticks celery
2 cloves of garlic
1 whole onion
2 Carrots, chopped
1/4 cup Flour
Broth
1 can cream of chicken
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
3 tblsp Butter
1 tblsp Olive Oil
Chopped Thyme
Oregano
Salt and pepper to taste

Season the boneless chicken breasts and put a little oil in the dutch oven. I chop them into cubes so they'll be cooked through pretty well, because I mostly want a quick sear, but I also don't trust the rest of the process to fully cook them. So I sear them in the oil and take them out. Then I add a little more oil and cook the onions, carrots, and celery for about three to four minutes before adding the butter. Cook it in the butter for a few minutes and add the chicken back along with the pulled chicken and let it all cook together for a couple more minutes. add the flor and let it get all combined and then add the can of Cream of Chicken. (you could use only half of this if the broth is good enough) Next add the broth until covered and put it on medium.

>>11321153
>cont

After putting it on medium I add the chopped thyme and a bayleaf.

Dumplings
2 Eggs
1 cup Buttermilk
2 1/2 cupsFlour
1/2 Teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon Baking Powder
Fresh chopped parsley

Mix the dry stff and then add the eggs and buttermilk, not overmixing. I mix it with my hands. Make little balls of it and add them on top of the soup. Sprinkle chopped parsley or chives on top Let it get to boiling and let it go for 15 minutes. I flip them after 10 minutes and then I sprinkle more of the chopped parsley, but you know they're ready just by touch and it's good to serve.
>>11317585
I had a fuck ton of dumplings, but there's a lot of broth in this. I was actually afraid there was too much, but it turned out great. The dumplings just really cover them well.

>>11320792
There's a balance. You have to season your shit, but what you like isn't necessarily how you need to season it. When I cook, I usually add a little more salt and a lot more pepper, but my girlfriend likes it just as it is, almost every time.

>>11321153

Thank you very much. I'm looking forward to trying it.
