i recently tried cooking pork chops for the first time
i originally wanted to bake it but i don't have a meat thermometer to check temperature so I decided to cook it on the stove top, bad idea
so i brined it over night in water, like I read on some guide, with a number of different things mixed in
when i cooked it, it was the driest, flavorless shit i ever cooked
fuck bros i suck at cooking
what should I do next time? More spice? Just get a meat thermometer?

Just add potatoes or chopped up bread next time. As for me I tried making buttermilk biscuits for gravy and somehow ended up with sodabread. Don't know how it happened.

Like, just water? No salt?

I really fucked up Alton Brown's chicken-fried steak because I only went off the episode rather than also grabbing the written recipe to go with it. Turns out, the episode truncated the amount of needling actually required to get the texture you want and I didn't do it nearly enough.

The texture was fucking garbage and I ended it up tossing it out. It was a few months back and I haven't cleansed myself of my disgust to give it another shot. One day, though, I really wanna make an amazing and tender chicken-fried steak.

That's where you fucked up. If it's good as it is, don't force yourself to add meat. It doesn't make you more masculine.

>>13903975
a meat thermometer is an essential tool for cooking, you can get a good instaread for $20, and you will never fuck up again (not true, but you’ll fuck up less)

including salt. I also put pepper, garlic powder, some chili powder, and a small amount of shoyu
>>13904171
yeah I should just get one. I'm new to cooking so I don't have one yet ;_;

I make bread every week. I just add the ingredients until it looks right. Do you think bakers in 1753 used microgram precision scales?

I need cheese.

I have groceries for days but I am out of a sharp style cheese for grating. Not really planning in going inside a grocery store for a few weeks. For reasons. Goddammit. I prepped in advance and thought that huge McFuckin' bag of cheese from Wal-Mart would last a month.

If you knew anything about breadmaking you'd know it takes very few grams of salt for hundreds of grams of flour to completely skew the chemistry and prohibit good yest development in your dough. Saying that a scale is useless for breadmaking is so fucking ignorant it might as well be a post from /ck/.
Oh wait.

you might have put too much water. i like marinating mine basically with just soy sauce as liquid and everything else added to the sauce

Bakers got by without scales for literal millennia. It is not that precise, this isn’t a fucking lab chemical synthesis. Again, autism

>> No.13904346

>>13904333
Turns out your typical peasant was making shitty bread for literal millennia.
Don't fucking pretend you have any experience baking bread, what the fuck are you doing on a cooking imageboard if you don't have any image of the stuff you made, unless you are yet another fast-food thread lurking faggot, like 99% of the people here?

>> No.13904361

>>13904321
That's not true. There is a myth that indicates this, but there is no truth to it. Salt will only affect the yeast if you dump the full quantity directly into the yeast before distributing through the dough, but if you do that it won't matter how much salt there is.

>>13904361
Well it seems that one time my particular loaf didn't agree with you since I got a terrible texture And the salt wasn't added directly into the starter. Datapoint of one, but that's enough for me to never make that mistake ever again.
>>13904369
You could just send a pic of your starter with timestamp if you don't any pics of your previous loafs. But I know you don't care enough to prove me wrong, you're not enough of an attention-whore (read: never actually made bread)
