Round Thirteen – (Sep 22nd-Sep 29th)

[heartsonfire !!fPX2cAyysZV No.3889143]

-You MUST timestamp your entry photo. No timestamp, no vote. You only have to timestamp your completed dish photo, not multiple photos if you’re posting a set.
-The more photos you post, the better! We want to see your cooking. Detailing the cooking process/posting a recipe is encouraged (but not mandatory).
-If you are not one of the 7 contestants remaining, or have been eliminated already, don’t look at that as a reason to stop posting. You can still do challenges and post your meals, just be sure to remember to say that your submission is “Not for vote” or “For consideration only.”
-Elimination Rounds carry penalties and/or bonuses. Bonuses will apply to the top contestant or contestants for that round, and will usually involve some kind of perk or benefit for the next challenge. Penalties are for the bottom five contestants of any E-Round, and are meant to make the following challenge more difficult.

Voting will be carried out in this thread. Please read the voting guidelines below.

**
VOTING GUIDELINES

Voting follows an 'Iron Chef' scoring system. This means you, the people of /ck/, will judge each entry individually instead of deciding on what you feel is the "best" dish.

Dishes are scored out of a total 20 points, based on 4 categories (worth a maximum of 5 points each); Presentation, Originality, Appeal and Challenge Goals. You may award 0's if you feel the contestant did not meet any expectations for a category.

-Presentation: The appearance of items on the plate; plating skills
-Originality: Creativity in composing the dish
-Appeal: How appetizing the food looks/whether or not the dish appeals to your personal taste as a voter
-Challenge Goals: How closely the entry followed the challenge goal(s)

The challenge theme for Round Twelve is: DANGER!

This is another "rolling post" challenge. Post to roll for a flavor... then roll again for a second flavor. You must combine the two to create a cohesive dish. The last number of your post will correspond with the following tastes:

0: sweet
1: salty
2: spicy
3: bitter
4: sour
5: savory (umami)
6: earthy
7: creamy
8: buttery
9: bacon

Remember: the winner gets a $60 Visa gift card, a /ck/ coffee mug and a /ck/ apron, as well as the first ever /ck/ Challenge trophy! The total value of the prize package is over $120!

After some deliberation, ZB and I've decided to award the first and second runner-ups /ck/ aprons as well. So good luck!

I rolled for buttery and sour, not every dish from this challenge has to be an exquisite dish. Simplicity can also be a key to someones taste.

[Anonymous No.3891926]

>>3891867
a dish can be simple, but also intelligent. i think if i rolled butter x sour, than something classical like a lemon tart would have been more appropriate. seeing as how it already incorporates a butter shortbread pastry and butter in the lemon filling. giving great contrast between butter x sour.

Might have been cool to try something new to spice up the simplicity of the dish without going overboard.
Covering the top of the biscuit with sugar and torching it a la creme brulee, for instance. Yeah, that might be neat.

Buttery Bacon and Boneless Pork Rib Burrito

First step: Make rice! Then let it sit for 12-16 hours. Fry up in some butter (I did 2 cups rice and 3 tablespoons butter on high)

Next: Make guacamole! Dice up 1/4 onion, 1 medium roma tomato, 2 garlic cloves, 1/2 jalapeno pepper, and two avocados. Mash together, add a dash of salt and a squeeze of lemon.

Next: Cook your bacon! Make it nice and crispy.

Finally: Cut boneless pork ribs into thin strips, fry in the bacon fat leftover from cooking bacon!

On a large tortilla, layer rice, bacon, rice, guacamole, pork. Wrap, and in the case of my monster, pin it closed by poking a hole through the overlap and sticking in a couple of sprigs of fresh parsley. Serve with fresh salsa or chili sauce.

I rolled Umami and Sour... and really didn't feel like cooking sea food. So I made Chana Masala.

The cumin, ripe tomatoes and spinach are strong sources of umami, on top of the chickpeas. The lemon juice gives it a nice sour note.

If I was not aiming at making sour an important part of the dish I would only use 1/2 lemon worth of juice.

Since I kinda bombed last challenge I wanted to step up this round. So I chose to make sweet potato agnolotti with sage cream, brown butter, and prosciutto from The French Laundry Cookbook. I think it was a pretty good choice considering I rolled creamy and buttery (I ended up using 1 stick of butter).

Overall it was pretty great. The agnolotti didn't turn out quite as I wanted it but I'll get it right the next time (I'll definitely make it again). I find way more difficult to get the thickness of the dough right with a rolling pin compared to a pasta machine.

Agnolotti is superior to normal ravioli when it comes to getting the filling in. So easy and without any airpockets.

Soy sauce and meat is umami, honey is obviously sweet.

Not only it wasn't dry at all as it was cooked in honey caramel that helped the moisture stay in the meat ; but I also used the wonderfully delicious mix of cooking juices and honey caramel from the pot as a sauce. (Also it wasn't overcooked like many people do. Just look, it's pinky inside.)

For this round I rolled Spicy and Earthy. Fortunately the two flavors are very well paired. Mushrooms, Beans, and Thyme are very earthy ingredients. The Chipotle peppers, Chili Powder, and Paprika are both earthy and spicy. This dish was delicious, the bird was moist and the skin was browned perfectly. The lemony flavored Thyme Jus made a fantastic sauce. Thank you.

I'm sorry but have you ever had any scones before? Because a scone isn't like a ciscuit (if you're American)
Scones are literally milk flour and butter, they have a soft and rich texture when fresh out of the oven. The orthodox way of eating scones are with jam and cream you dipshit.

I've liked all your entries and you make lovely photos and lovely looking food but sometimes you're very hostile, Nettle... I understand that it hurts if someone rates you extremely poorly, and adds an immature remark on top of that, but you're essentially reacting in the same manner.

[Smithski the NKVD commissar No.3901383]

So, to recap I rolled Sweet and Sour and I didn't want to go for the obvious and make a Chinese style Sweet and Sour Pork/Chicken/Beef. So I went for the less obvious route, I decided to do a salad.

I made a apple gastrique with fresh apples, apple and honey cider vinegar, brandy, sugar and a little lemon juice to balance the flavors out. I sliced the apples and diced some up roughly, cooking the diced apples until they were tender before adding the sliced ones, so that the apple slices would still have a bit of crunch to it.

I then tossed the salad with this apple 'dressing' while it was in the pan, allowing the residual heat to just slightly wilt the greens before serving them.

For the pork fillet, I marinated the pork chop with some salt, pepper and a touch of the apple/honey vinegar and some apple brandy for a few hours before pan frying it and allowed it to rest while I plated the salad before just sliding it on top. I tried a version where I sliced it first but it just did not look as nice.

[Smithski the NKVD commissar No.3901390]

>>3901383
Forgot to add, I also threw in some garlic into the pan when frying the pork chops.

And I also added some cinnamon and a slight dash of nutmeg into the apple "dressing"

Seems a little odd with the cooked and the raw Apple. would love to see more of your cooking exposition, . I don't see your timestamp, but I would rather see you get points know off for that than get disqualified.

[Smithski the NKVD commissar No.3901429]

>>3901426
Well, they're both cooked, just that one isn't completely cooked to the point where it is soft.

Also, I can supply a time stamp...just that my plate is pretty much my time stamp considering that that is pretty much the only presentable plate I have.

I guess with that many votes you'd still get eliminated. I seriously don't understand the voting count.

The dish I submitted seems to be either a love it or hate it dish...maybe I should have just made a Chinese sweet and sour pork and served rice with it...

>>3908010
In the end the elimination is up to the judges. I'm still in the contest but I'm probably not going to participate next year. It seems like there's a lot less focus on actual cooking and more on producing food porn and crowdpleasers. Also the rating seems a bit too random.

[Anonymous No.3908390]

>>3908381
a chef has to play to his audience. food should be attractive and recognizable as being something the judges would want to eat since there is no actual "tasting" going on. I can figure out who you probably are and i can tell you that, overall, the food you produce is pretty amazing and thoughtful. I hope you win!
