Oh boy here we go again

Or just be a fag, like OP.

>>13291378
do dumbass fucktarded americans really freeze carrots and buy walmart appliances

I haven't 100% committed to what i'm making but it's going to be made primarily of carrots that I froze before traveling to prevent spoilage (it was an unexpected journey and I had just bought 2 fresh bags)

gonna be thawing them out in this pan, and depending on their consistency I will be changing what I do with them
the stove is censored because I havent wiped it yet

In for a code thread.

>>13291396
I generally try to cut my veg before freezing so I can use them straight out of the freezer without thawing

>>13291396
>thawing them out in this pan
You fags make me angry. And it's going to be mush, so prepare for soup or some shit.

monitoring this thread.

snipped off the ends, had them out a few minutes so they weren't as rock solid as expected, the thicker ones made the knife complain a little but thats what a beater is for

bring up to light boil and turn off

>>13291446
>>13291457
I always thought that you have lovely hands code <3

cover and wait

>this fucking thread

hm.

well this is interesting

>>13291500
Tie them in knots and roast em

>>13291500
Uhhhhhh I don't think carrots are supposed to do that

>>13291384
Hes canuck. Everything is frozen there.

>>13291446
did you batony chop your carrots?

so what's at play here seems to be that carrots grow in the same way trees do, and the freezing process has damaged and softened the fibres in the same way it occurs with meat.
loosening of the bonds results in a spongier texture, the dense core is mostly still intact while the outer middle layer is vertically split
in contrast, the outer most layers before the skin acts similar to a cambium layer, with the skin and cambium acting like a tube, the contents are held inside and kept flexible.
if I split these I should do them like traditional singles in a circle for structural integrity, doing in layers would result in mush

>>13291540
At least you have a plan.

I just took them out and it feels like handling a bunch of hotdogs

>>13291559
Vegan hotdogs
BOOM

hm.

>>13291543
I don't think he does yet

>>13291500
What did I tell you.
>>13291407

>>13291598
naked carrots

stop

>>13291598
I appreciate you're actually tying them up

>>13291598
That's quite the sickly looking outer layer

well I think I have a plan now
I'm going to make two dishes

the knots are much easier to tie without the core of the carrot or the birchbark

the cores and the birchbark will likely go together in something else but not set yet

Do canadians really?

>>13291651
>birchbark
I sure hope you don't mean the peels, you fag.

far far easier to tie without those cores

>>13291665
We do

k-keep going

they taste so sweet, they're delicious even just as they are right now
but this is super labour intensive so its slow

someone should really invent something to take the bark off roots more easily
why do I always end up doing something like this whenever I trim my nails

>>13291789
>someone should really invent something to take the bark off roots more easily
You mean a potato peeler?

>>13291813
do these look like potatoes you fucking retard

>>13291813
Those are for potatoes dummy

>>13291813
Rekt
>>13291821
>>13291823

>>13291515
Do this. Throw some garlic in there too and eat them with pumpkin hummus.

Is this guy retarded

>>13291879
We'll see anon, be patient

>>13291789
>why do I always end up doing something like this whenever I trim my nails
your nails look great btw uwu

based buckwheat anon

oh my god i'm finally finished tying them
sorting the bits was pretty quick at least

I still have the water on the stove, it's pretty orange so I'll be using it for something.
I have a bit more setup to do now

What the fuck is happening in here.

>>13291977
Cooking carrot knots, catch up

>>13291977
Art.

>>13291978
are you going to light a fire in your oven

okay bit of basic oven anatomy for folks

ovens have a vent, the purpose of the vent is to assist in air circulation.
often it's located either in the door or under a burner.
in my case it's located under the back burner, so in order to prevent smoke from escaping the oven

>>13292013
This

boop

you absolute madman
do you just not have a smoke detector?

>>13292089
Perfect use of a cast iron pan, shit's gonna have a juicy seasoning

>>13292089
why the spanner?

I don't know what is happening anymore. This plot line is too cerebral for my simple mind.

>>13292171
Gonna burn twigs and spices in the oven with the carrot knots I think??

>>13292172
SEASONED SMOKED CARROT KNOTS?

Hope you have decent fire insurance my man

it's having trouble igniting but i'll keep trying

>>13292247
Pour a dab of gasoline on it.

>>13292247
Do you think it'll stay lit if there isn't any oxygen circulation?

using the element on one of the sticks i've had a bit of success, it's tricky though.


>>13292290
it doesn't need to stay lit, just get to coals and smoulder

but I think the mug on the vent might not be needed currently so I took it off, if it starts to get bad I'll put it back on

wtf is happening here

why yo oven so dirty tho?

>>13292307
>remove the mug until necessary
s'what I would do.

>trying to get coals
looking at your set up there doesn't seem very conducive to getting coals unless you use a torch or something/extreme heat. I don't have experience smoking though, only have experience building fires outside. What I would do is do a fire outside of the oven (and preferably outside of the house near a water source just in case) and build it up until you have the point of getting coals, then transfer the coals to your receptacle in the oven and put the spices over it. Good luck whatever you do fren

I heard a thud, it was one of the knots
the skins are shrinking from the heat

it tasted pretty good but the side that was on the bottom of the oven was a little hot

tossed in a bunch of onion skins and it seems to be going pretty good now with the smoke but who'd have thought onion smoke would burn your eyes

cut up the onion from the onion skins I used, going to use the carrot water for some shells once it's boiling again, might do a reduction, not sure

>Mfw watching this play out

the skins arent bad, sor tof like potato chips

>>13292496
LOOKS DELICIOUS ANON

i'd say if someone was to recreate this they should marinate the knots in a salt solution, would help with water retention as well as give that much needed salt.

I took out the pasta, and left the water in and brought back some moisture to the carrots

action shot of the knots

Are you destitute poor OP?

the pasta itself is, actually really fucking good.
carrots and onions are basically mirepoix, because everyone celery doesn't add any fucking flavour

wa la bone apple teeth

>rehydrate
I don't think you've processed them enough yet.

>>13292595
well I'm not going to make carrot flour
that would just be silly

>>13292602
Do you shop at Food Basics?

>>13292602
but you are silly uwu

>>13292318
literally doesn't matter why you autists get so triggered over soot

>>13292620
Fried tapeworms?

>>13292618
huh.
i'm not that surprised carrot flour is a thing, but i'm surprised there is enough of a demand they're selling it there

must be a byproduct of all those carrot juice products

>>13292653
to be fair though, the white stuff is mostly salt crystals

>>13292668
frozen, but will be boiled tapeworms one day

Value brand dino guy

>>13292544
>celery doesn't add any fucking flavour
the fuck is wrong with you. celery adds the strongest flavour, I can always taste the tinest bit of celery in anything because it overpowers everything else

>>13293396
it's just water bro

posating in a quality thread

Don't let your dreams defrost.

>>13293528

You're a bad cook if you think that. I half respected your toilet food. Now it's just shit.

>>13293571
all food becomes toilet food sooner or later

>>13293574

These are flavours from hints of the alcohols from their origin. Celery is a real flavour, these are like vanillans from a hint of alcohol.

I'm just sad that you said celery has no flavour. I'll never listen to you ever again. What's the trinity, dipshit? I have to go scrape my tongue. Stop posting.

>>13292108
probably to act as another handle britfag.

been awhile since i've seen a thread from you anon. hope all is well. any new salt experiments?

>>13293593
lmao
it's not my fault they over water the crops
maybe your local cultivars have more flavour but the stuff I have access to is very mild, for the cost difference i'd rather use other combinations than mirepoix

>>13293620
I was using it to straighten out the shears I was using to snip the sticks

>>13293649
I considered using old salt to carbonize some stuff
were you around when I fucked my wok by doing the equivalent of reading a map upside down while making coffee?

>>13291378
Include me in the screencap.

So does the oven not work because I'm tempted to build a fire in mine now. I kinda fucked my oven. I think there is a rat living in it.

Dumb thread

>>13293921
It works but you more or less need charcoal not a real fire and some air flow.

>>13293921
You got a horse pussy in yah wall homie

good thread

>>13293869
Don't forget to include me!

Based DinoTendies

How was your Thanksgiving?

>>13293921
my oven works, I was just using the coil to ignite and get it going, but the onion skins are what really did it.

you only want a small cooking fire, not a blaze or you'll burn your place down
I think your ovens vent will be on the door with a model like that so it could be more dangerous to do
but as long as you're careful I don't think it'll be any more dangerous than some of the other shit you've done

if that stoves 100% dead though and you have some tools we could look into converting it to a proper wood stove
is pic related your oven pre-burnout ?

>>13291396
Clean your cooker

>>13291500
This is the shit I keep coming back for.

>>13294129
Good thanks! There was a thread yesterday

>>13294138
Yeah same one

this shows some of the disassembly, but under neath the forbidden cotton candy there is heat shield which needs to be removed so you can cook on top of the ovens box like a wood stove
the best place to run the smokestack on that model through I think would be where the light fits through but I'm unsure how much oven sits behind that fitting
rigging a sieve to catch sparks to that point wouldn't be a terrible idea either
