You guys make sauce that was store bought and you people talk about savages?

 

I make tomato sauce in my damn garage with actual tomatoes. I can't imagine eating pasta with sauce that was bought from f***ing Walmart.

 

NJH is right though, if you must make pasta, it has to be gnocchi.

[Grant77]

Don't listen to anybody who tells you to cook pasta for X number of minutes, there are too many variables (was it a low boil or a rolling boil? how big is the pot? how much water? how much pasta? How thick is the pasta? Whole wheat or white?). Pasta should be cooked to taste. Take a noodle out of the water and bite it. After years of doing this, you will be able to identify perfectly cooked pasta by sight and smell.

 

My grandmother had an interesting way of testing if spaghetti was ready. She would throw a piece at the wall and if it stuck then it was ready. Seems silly, but it was always cooked perfectly. I usually just taste a piece, but I do it every once in a while for her.

Whoa whoa...You buy tomatoes? I only use the finest tomatoes that I grow in my custom greenhouse in Italy and I fly over everytime i need to make sauce. What, are you some kind of savage?

In Southern Ontario fresh, local tomatoes will only taste better than canned for like 3 months of the year.

Woah, you dare imply that I buy tomatoes? I grow it with love and care out of my own garden and fertilize the soil with the finest Italian wines.

I'm not a cook and I'm trying my hand at spaghetti for the first time

Terminator makes a quality intro to spaghetti cooking post to get him started to show him it doesn't have to be overwhelming your first time and thread becomes HhhHHhnnnggggggg

Canned tomatoes from Costco is the way to go.

I just realized my ground beef is expiring so I gotta cook that first.

 

Spaghetti will be delayed

 

Does anyone add cooking oil before cooking ground beef, or do you just let the fat do the cooking?

Let the fat do the cooking. Just keep breaking it a part.

[HERPDERP]

how do you ensure ground beef is cooked brown after breaking it apart?

 

Do you constantly flip the ground beef every 20 seconds or so, or do you press it into the pan, or do you just put a lid on it?

 

I cooked mine for 15 minutes and it ended up being grey, but I heard that if you want a full thorough cook, you should put a lid on it.

 

This was lean ground beef

[Laika]

no lid

medium-high heat

break it up with a wooden spoon / spatula constantly

 

if you overcrowd the pan a lot of the beef might end up steaming which will be more gray. browning comes from contact with the pan at high heat... it's basically searing i think. can try smaller batches

If you start them indoors and grow different varieties, you can have tomatoes for about 4 months. It really depends on the type of autumn you get. I had green ones ripening on my window sill in late September this year.

- Thaw the beef for a few hours first

- put it in a pot or pan with the lid on, cook on low for around 10 minutes until the the red color is all gone

- take the lid off, turn heat up, and start breaking it apart with a spoon/spatula (middle parts will still be red, make sure you keep stirring and breaking apart until everything is brown)

- drain the fat (optional)

Is there a cooking thread in the OT forum?

Just a food thread.

I'll create a cooking thread. Would be good to have one haha.

[KingKat]

I'm surprised nobody bragged about pressing their own pasta ITT (and no I don't do it either).

I'm serious brah, I can't cook.

 

Part of the reason why my ex broke up with me ;_;

 

OK I will try the tips tomorrow, if I don't respond I have ecoli or I put water on an oil fire.

"George Springer will move to center field full-time in 2017.

Advice: It was initially unclear how the Astros planned to assemble their outfield after signing Josh Reddick to a four-year deal, but now it appears Reddick will man right field with Springer moving from right to center. Springer was a Gold Glove finalist in right field last season but has made 16 career starts in center and spent most of his minor league career as a center fielder. The 27-year-old set career-highs in home runs (29) and RBI (82) last year while mostly hitting out of the leadoff spot."

 

Springer owners rejoice!
