/ck/ - Food & Cooking

>>18394395
I think the experimental threads are fun. Really enjoyed the anon who centrifuged all the food.

cook alongs are 100% the best threads on this site and we all appreciate them

Whatever, I'm going to just make the thread here instead of making another one.
Right now we're boiling the noodles and drinking wine.

>>18395314
Noodles are boiled. now we brown the onions garlic beef and sausage before we add an all the tomato stuff for the sauce. Recipe only called for two cloves of garlic but I added two more.

>>18395381
Clean your stove

>>18395381
Looks brown enough to me

>>18395438
Added all the tomato stuff and the secret herbs and spices that's on the recipe I found online.

>>18395444
Finally mixed it all together. Added a splash of the $7 wine because I think you're supposed to or something. Now it cooks for an hour and a half. If you haven't done this before make sure you cover it. Tomato sauce likes to bubble and splatter all over the place even on a simmer.

>>18395452
Ok. Sauce is cooked so time to put everything together. Sauce noodles ricotta cheese mozzarella sauce noodles ricotta cheese mozzarella and then Parmesan on top. I was supposed to put Parmesan in the middle as well but I forgot.

>>18395842
This is what home made lasagna looks like before it's cooked. Whatever. Now we're going to wait like 45 minutes or something. Is anyone reading this.

>>18395846
>Is anyone reading this
yeah your making stuffed shells or whatever you call it

>>18395869
>your making stuffed shells
Lol, what the fuck?

>>18394395
I love all that crusty junk on the edges
do you have any red sauce left for the top?

Are you going to shithouse the entire tray by yourself?

>>18395921
she's going to share it with her cat
cats love lasagna

>>18395897
Yea I have lots of sauce left. I wasn't going to put any on top. I'll use it for pasting the future. It's amazing sauce.

>>18395921
>Shithouse
I assume you mean am I going to eat it all myself. No. I live with people.

>>18395934
>she

Im also going to make garlic bread. Garlic butter is so piss easy to make. It's stupid that people would buy pre made garlic bread.

>>18395943
>pasting the future
how are you going to do that with red sauce

>>18395846
And wa la. Home made Lasagna. Gonna let it cool and get the garlic bread ready.

>>18395963
I meant I'll use it for pasta in the future. I'm using voice to text so it gets kind of stupid sometimes.

>>18395967
you'r 2019 attempt looks better
but it still looks fucking tasty

>>18395972
>voice to text
now I'm sure your a woman
post your feet in the finished garlic bread shot

>>18395985
I'm not a woman you retard. Women wouldn't cook lasagna without doing something gay to it like using ground turkey or low fat cheese.

>>18395967
do you have a gas oven? why is the top so unevenly cooked?

>>18395967
how she taste?

>>18395967
oh my fucking god that looks so good. fuck im hungry as shit

>>18395967
PLATED WITH BREAD

>>18396012
Yea it's gas. Maybe because the edges cooked more from the heat of the tray.

>>18396049
Pretty nice my lad. It's maybe the tastest thing I make besides pot roast

>>18396104
My pot roast recipe:
Buy London broil
Buy onion soup mix (beef flavor if you're feeling snazzy)
Cover London broil in soup mix
Wrap in foil
Cook for hours until tender
Eat with a1 sauce

2nd best recipe I make next to split pea soup.

>>18396118
No veggies? No potatoes?

>>18396130
Sometimes I put veggies in with the meat to cook along with it but usually just mashed taters. You use the drippings from the meat mixed with the soup mix for gravy, and when you cook veggies with it they tend to soak it all up

>>18394395
Yes, the issue is that they don't get enough engagement while you're cooking so they're very low reward for the cook. The comments trickle in afterwards but you're already done and commenters on /ck/ don't cook anyways so the discourse is low quality and unfulfilling.

>>18396202
Yea. The mushy gravy soaked veggies are awesome. Carrots suck. But slow cooked in beef juices for three hours makes them awesome.

>>18396216
Sounds like you're talking from experience.

>>18396095
Meh. Flat and the cheese looks weird. Probably because you used too much like the amerifat retard you are. Fail.

>>18396333
Hell yea I used a lot of cheese. Like a half pound on the top.

>>18396363
Yes we know.

what happened to the houston cat-owning liquor-drinker fml cookalong guy, those were comfy threads

>>18396383
check reddit where they belong

What happened to the guy with the cat? He used to do cookalongs all the time.

>>18396366
Yeaaaa

>>18396323
aye. honestly /ck/ is terrible conversation for one who actually cooks. It's mostly shitposting and autistic screeching about opinion

>>18396453
Yea. 4chan seems to slowly be getting worse. Like the more people here the worse it gets. Time will kill this place. Some of the smaller board's seem less fucked though.
Still. Every once in a while you can get a good thread on any board.

>>18396540
>I can't accept my cooking is shitty so I'll ignore the criticism and just blame le 4chin instead of improving
k then

>>18396550
That has nothing to do with that. I don't care if people don't like what I made. I'm talking about low quality op posts. Food celeb shit and low effort food meme shitposting. Like "I want to work in a restaurant" as a thread title with no further elaboration on anything.

>>18396550
>drive-by baseless criticism with no substantiation

you strengthen the claim. are you so eager to spew and consume shit?

op is not a faggot

>>18395967
looks amazing

>>18396642
Thanks. I'm pretty proud that I can reliably make something so good.

>>18396095
Looks good, anon. Thanks for sharing.

>>18395967
Love the browned cheese.
I have the exact same 9 x 13 Pyrex, did you broil it?
I often want to broil it, but I am terrified the motherfucker will shatter in the oven.

>>18396731
Nah. Just baked it for 40 minutes. 25 with foil 15 or so without until it was browned enough. It's an old tray.

>>18396642
You must have low standards.

my grandma said she didnt like eggplants so i cooked eggplant parm with her cuz i knew shed like all the cheese n shit .it looked pretty similar to this it looks good op.

>>18394395
Cook-along threads are Instagram-tier, self-absorbed narcissism. There is never any discussion. The OP makes his blog post, eats his food and then is done. It's the equivalent of masturbating in public.

>>18397599
What's the excellent content you're providing then, proust.

>>18395842
>tomato in ragu
>cheese in Lasagne
Just nuke the Midwest.
Fucking flyovers

>>18397783
What are you talking about?

>>18396095
>the excess amount of cheese over-cooked to the point of developing a crinkly film
what a fucking waste. garlic bread looks good though

I MISS PATTI LIKE YOU WOULDNT BELIEVE

>>18399257
Did that anon ever give a reason for not posting anymore or did he just disappear?

Thanks op I love lasagna but am bad at making it myself. Maybe I try again

I like seeing /ck/ being nice and encouraging during a genuine cook thread. Meme cook threads are fun too though.

>>18399544
What part are you bad at?
The only parts I can imagine screwing up is overcooking it in the oven at the end or cooking the sauce at too high of a heat and drying it out.

>>18399508
I have no fucking clue :(

>>18399587
Somehow it gets soupy, and my layers don't stay together. I'm more of a slop specialist I just need to take more care

>>18399695
Sauce might could have too much water - not reduced enough. When you make the ragu, make sure you cook it for a long time, and uncovered (so excess liquid evaporates). You should be able to stand a spoon up in it.

>>18395438
Looks grey. Use an enamel cast iron dutch oven (not non stick) to brown the meat to the point where it sticks to the bottom of the pan. Then deglaze with wine, but not before throwing in the herbs to toast until fragrant, about 1 min

Tell me anons, where is Dickeredanon? For I would very much like to see Patty.

>>18395438
You need to use 80/20 beef, that shit looks lean af. Pic is my lasagna from like a week ago. I want to do a veggie lasagna next attempt. Any suggestions?

>>18399728
>enamel cast iron dutch oven
I don't have that and I'm not going to buy one.

>>18399776
Not that anon but I would highly encourage getting one if you make a lot of roasts, soups, braises or stews. I love mine, and it's just a $30 Cuisinart one.

>>18399710
Op here. My sauce wasnt as think as you say either. I had it covered but with the vents open on the lid if that makes sense. I need it covered with something since it'll splatter. Maybe one of those mesh lid things?

>>18399734
Threads by a Redditor for Redditors.

>>18399781
No, you have it just right: lid on but slightly ajar so moisture can escape. I do the same.
