fried eggs cooked in stainless steel I’m tired of buying a new non-stick pan every other year, so I decided to try cooking eggs in stainless steel instead. I’ve been practicing for a few months now, and figured I’d record what’s working (and not working) for me in case someone else has been thinking about it. Fried Eggs Cooking Method For fried eggs I’m using Kenji’s first method in this video: This yields soft fried eggs — I don’t especially like the crunchy bitties and have had trouble…

Do you ever look around at the ingredients available to you, the energy you have to give to the cooking process — or, as I recently explained to a medium-sized child shortly before I got uninvited from future family events, the amount of fudge you have left to give from your, uh, bucket of fudge — and decided to boil spaghetti, toss it with garlickly olive oil, and call it dinner?

Nau maiYesterday we enjoyed a day off in Jakarta. The breakfast buffet was another adventure on my second morning at Hotel Gran Mahakam. All the Indonesian cuisine had changed completely from the day before and this time I enjoyed a Beef Selat Solo on my Jasmine Rice. Alongside this I had a bowl of Mie Rebus Jawa, a noodle soup with shrimp, vegetables, and delicious aromatics, and a selection of fresh fruit. I also paid a visit to the egg station and ordered an omelette with vegetables and…

The final tart from BWD!! Sometimes the last one to be picked turns out to be a surprise superstar, like me on the elementary school kickball team, or like this Candied Almond Tart. This was pretty easy to make– a sweet, cinnamon-scented crust with a simple filling of sliced almonds coated in a quick caramel sauce. Once baked, the crust gets crisp and the filling gets pleasantly chewy. It made me think of a PAYDAY candy bar, with almonds instead of peanuts. I sprinkled a little flaky salt on…

Here’s another Rap Snacks variety sent by The Fat Hipster – thanks! As usual, not expecting a lot from these but I guess we shall see. Let’s give ’em a try. Rap Snacks Ramen Noodles Rick Ross Lemon Pepper Chicken – United States Detail of the side panels (click to enlarge). Looks to be meat free but check for yourself. To prepare, fill to line with boiling water and cover 3 minutes. Finally, stir and enjoy! Detail of the lid (click to enlarge). An instant noodle block. Loose bits and seasoning…

A friend recently told me about a wine dinner he attended devoted to Montepulciano d’Abruzzo, a region in East Central Italy in the foothills of the Apennines. My first reaction was mild surprise. This is a region known for affordable table wines. Of course, there are more ambitious examples, especially from Colline Teramane DOCG. Still, a formal dinner built around Montepulciano d’Abruzzo seemed an unusual idea. Then he mentioned the prices. Several bottles were approaching what most consumers…

“The real New York summer has finally hit. It’s humid, hot, and depending on the block, smells like hot trash and urine.” That is how I opened this post the first time around. I was apparently feeling the heat, but I stand by the description. Maine has been considerably kinder lately, but I do not need a heat advisory to justify a frozen dessert. Fortunately, Ina offers plenty of options to delight your taste buds and cool you off! From divine homemade ice creams like Milk Chocolate Oreo and…

At the end of June I harvested my onions. Not the greatest haul - I didn't get my preferred variety in the autumn when I planted them. Still okay. They have been 'curing', which is a fancy way of saying I've just ignored them for nearly a month while they shed stalks and skin that blows all over the place. Ignored no more! It's pickling time. I love pickled onions. I just have to think about them and I start salivating. There are at least four varieties in my kitchen at all times. So. I…

No recipe and no plan. Salmon veggie bowls was the general idea. Nothing weighed and everything done on the fly Sweet potato first They take the longest, so they go in before anything else is even decided. Peeled, cut small enough to roast fast, oiled in the bowl rather than on the tray

In the course of conversations with startups that I’ve invested in, that I advise, or that I simply encounter, it’s very common to get into discussions about prioritization. Some common situations that I hear about all the time: We don’t know how to balance incremental features that our current customers want versus more differentiated / futuristic features that would help us sell. We don’t know how to balance tech debt or supportability investments versus business-oriented features. Our…

Sometimes strange things occur accidentally. The other night I cooked a meal that was technically vegan - without even realising it!There's no way I'd have done this deliberately, unless it was for some sort of project or challenge, and I only realised while we were eating it, but, hey-ho, I did my little tiny bit for a cause I don't believe in.(This isn't a 'Veganascene Conversion' post about how I've seen the error of my ways and am now discovering the joys of plant-based life -…

Here’s another one from HongKongFoodies.com! Go check ’em out as they’ve got a treasure trove of hard to find Demae Iccho variants! This isn’t ramen – it’s macaroni. It’s not macaroni and cheese but macaroni and broth – should be quite nice! Let’s cook it up! Nissin Demae Iccho Instant Macaroni Sesame Oil Chicken Flavour – Hong Kong Detail of the packaging (click to enlarge). Contains chicken. To prepare, boil macaroni in 599ml water for 3~4 minutes. Add in dry base contents and stir. Add in…

The link. The paragraph: I got seduced by the rescue narrative. Everyone did, I think, or at least a lot of us did. We inherited the gospel: Prohibition broke American brewing, consolidation made it bland, Fritz Maytag saved Anchor in San Francisco in 1965, Jack McAuliffe opened New Albion in 1976, homebrewers became revolutionaries, Cascade hops became a flag, and suddenly the country remembered flavor. I apologize, but I’m about to urge you to read all of “I’ve written about beer for years.…

This week’s coffee is Sunday Morning from Ambros Coffee Co

The End Is Nigh! Quick, grab the essentials! (That's peanut butter cake, right?)(EXCELLENT.) Misspelled?Check.Sperm balloons?Checkity check.Unintentionally suggestive inscription? CHECK, PLEASE. They tell me this is supposed to be a unicorn: Yeeeeeeah. I love it when things get so weird that even the baker doesn't know what's going on: There's a metaphor for life in here somewhere. And finally, ever have something that's meant to be sweet & solemn strike you as funny?If not, then prepare to…

[A jail term for this might be excessive, though.] Today in ridiculous “What are you in for?” prison stories, the owner of a Michelin-starred restaurant in South Korea could face a year in jail for using ants as a garnish. Barvd. In its defence the restaurant owner argued that just 60% of diners had opted to try the ants, while the rest were served alternatives like fermented vinegar and edible flowers. “Only 60% of our customers consumed this illegal dish!” strikes me as not a great…

You know The Crown Inn: it’s the gorgeous Victorian pub beneath the wonder of the world that is the Stockport viaduct. It’s a much photographed scene because it tells a story about the grandeur of the industrial north and says: this was once a big country. We’ve been walking past The Crown for some years, on our way from the station to a friend’s house in the suburbs, but never had the chance to visit. Not least because it closed early in 2025 after a long period of uncertainty over its future.…

If you’re looking for a hearty, family‑friendly skillet supper that comes together quickly and delivers big comfort, this Chuckwagon Beef & Pasta Skillet is just the thing.

Everything cooks right in the skillet — no fuss, no extra dishes — and a sprinkle of melty cheese on top makes…

We ran across this Whitebox canned Mai Tai in York, England – and it interestingly bills itself as a “1944 Mai Tai” with rum, lime, orange curacao, and orgeat. The 100 ml can comes in at 23% ABV, putting it right where you want it to be for a nice single-serving Mai Tai. And how’s the taste? Well, it’s actually really great – a very nice rummy body and orange and almond flavors you can taste. It actually came in handy when we’d been walking around all morning but the local tiki bar hadn’t…

Runner Beans ramping- these are the old variety 'Scarlet Emperor'.

As fans of gimmick bars, we gave the Frankenstein Bar and Bier Keller a shot during our recent trip to Edinburgh, arriving at around 9 pm on a Friday. The venue is located on George IV Bridge in a former Elim Pentecostal church, so there are plenty of authentic gothic vibes. The main bar features two levels and the first floor was fairly crowded but we found a nice booth upstairs overlooking the main floor, a screen playing the original 1931 Frankenstein movie, and a great view of where the…

The dressing that split in Sauce and sear, rebuilt with the same ingredients. The diagnosis there was incomplete: shear was only half the problem. A vinaigrette is oil droplets suspended in vinegar, and building it oil-first asks the small water phase to swallow a pool of oil at once. This time everything water-friendly goes in first and the oil comes last. Findings at the bottom A split dressing also tastes wrong, not just looks wrong. Paprika’s heat and the herb oils are fat-soluble and sit…

If you grew up in the Midwest in the ’80s or ’90s, there’s a good chance dirt pudding showed up at nearly every potluck. It was always one of my favorites: a heavenly chilled treat made with Cool Whip, cream cheese, vanilla pudding, and plenty of crushed Oreos. While I appreciated the gummy worms often added to really drive home the dirt pudding concept, I always preferred mine without – why mess with a good thing. Recently, I was dipping speculoos cookies into some leftover whipped cream (as…

Cerita sebelumnya bisa dibaca di sini: Akhirnya, Saya Memutuskan Pergi ke Dokter Gizi Sebelumnya, saya sudah beberapa kali “menjalani” program diet. Mengapa ada tanda kurung di bagian “menjalani”, adalah karena saya nggak melakukan program dietnya berdasar ilmu. Ilmu yang saya dapat adalah berbagai metode dari internet. Tentu saya nggak menyalahkan metode-metode yang ada di internet tersebut; ada orang yang cocok, ada orang yang bisa tahan lama, sayangnya saya tidak. (Itu juga yang bikin saya…

Hello everyone! Welcome to my weekly Sunday Meals of the Week Post! Every Sunday I like to do a recap of all of the main meals that I have cooked and or enjoyed over the past seven days! All of the delicious main dishes that have graced my table. It is a post that I really enjoy doing, and, from the feedback that I get from you, my readers, I know that you enjoy reading and seeing as well! I started doing these posts several years ago. As a person who lives on their own it became clear to me…

We bought the Weber Family Q+ (Model Q3200n+) a little over two months ago and it’s been one of the best purchases we made. Adding the Bunnings Mimosa chair, rectangular table and the cushion has made our backyard a nice little corner to grill and eat even during these cold winters. Having an outdoor heater I think will make it ever better. Here’s what it looks like. Backyard seating setupI’ve had zero input in the decisions, so all of these were researched and chosen by Jo. She did ask if I…

Spare ribs and baby backs The post BBQ first appeared on Uncorrected.

Second half of the red marinade. The dressing gets built in the same unwashed cup the marinade came out of, then the turkey goes into cast iron. Two things did not go to plan and both are worth writing down The same cup Nothing gets washed. The marinade left a red film all over the measuring cup and that is free flavour, so the vinaigrette goes straight in on top of it. Olive oil first, then red wine vinegar
