my in laws prefer the sponges to be left in the sink wet, often floating in something
Boil bratwurst.
Parboil them? I simmer them in beer, sliced onions, garlic, and a couple spices so they get cooked most of the way through then finish them on the grill. You can then pour out most of the beer and add some brown sugar and saute for some quick caramelized onions to put on the brats.
I mean just dropping them in boiled water.
Seemed so weird. I’ve only ever grilled them.
Ime you need to pre cook them otherwise it’s extremely hard to get to a safe temp on the grill without going dry and burnt
A Russian room mate got a big chunk of beef fat from the butcher, poked holes in it and put garlic cloves in them, sprinkled with salt and pepper and then put it in on a plate in the cupboard for a month. Then got it out and spread it on wonder bread.
Apparently this a very common thing called shpek.
I’ve seen my wife several times cut up raw chicken meat etc then go and start doing the vegetables on the same board no rinse or anything, every time she says jt was an absent minded mistake, but I’m sure she’s trying to kill me
salmonella anyone.
Tbf if everything’s getting cooked/washed right after it shouldn’t matter but… ick
Nah i mean salad etc haha.
Oh
The perfect crime
My mum used to cook mince in the microwave. From raw.
My father had been repackaging a gigantic pack of raw chicken breasts into smaller freezer packs.
There was raw chicken juice all over the cutting board, the counter, everywhere basically.
He grabbed a cleaning cloth and wiped the counter down, then without rinsing it, proceeded to wash his face with it.
Yes, I grew up with a tremendous amount of food issues because of my father. He poisoned us nearly weekly. It was only in my later adulthood where I simply established a rule that I would not eat a single thing that he prepared.
What the almighty fuck.
Oh dude the stories I could tell you
<Flashdance_Only_Its_With_Chicken_Juice.gif>
legit lol thank you ahaha
I’m just glad someone had some idea what I was trying to describe.
You made me feel old with that reference haha
Kinda sucks, doesn’t it?
Still, I keep picturing your dad, basking in sweat, running a pho shop in Ho Chi Minh in the summertime or the like, wiping his brow with chicken-stock soaked dish towels.
Lotta people apparently thaw meat on the countertop overnight. My mothers husband and his kids only really stopped when I went all “hello I literally have a food manage safety cert, please stop making me cry with this meat thing”
Lots of petting animals then cutting up food and such from other friends. Animals are not allowed in the food making area when food is being made. Cats might think they can go where they want but they are not allowed and learn or get locked up in the room with food and cat box. They then have learned. One use to watch from the door way and prance in when I said “done now”
How do you thaw meat overnight the right way? I’m vegetarian and honestly don’t know
Bottom shelf of the fridge
My problem with fridges is right below the bottom shelf is the crisper for all the raw vegetables.
Despite always being told meat at bottom.
When I’m thawing meat, I usually put a sheet pan under it to catch any leaks or drips.
some newer ones have actually been designed to avoid this - back in the day it was because veggies were the cheapest and easiest to replace
30 minutes in a big bowl of cold water on the counter, then mive the bowl into the fridge overnight.
No. For god sakes no.
Not only are you going to wreck the meat, but you are going to make it dangerous to fry.
Cannot have meat floating in water overnight, it’s going to end up a soggy, bloated mess.
I’m not just sticking a pork chop in water. It’s still in the freezer bag that i froze it in.
In the fridge! If it’s very large it can take awhile longer than overnight, but there’s other ways to thaw it safely. Cold running water (not over like… naked meat, its in a bag or the like), can thaw using a microwave if you don’t mind the texture sometimes being a bit worse. But usually just in the fridge works.
I love that you hold the line with animals and you don’t subscribe to that fantasy that a lot of lazy pet owners do that you simply let them do what they want because they’re pets.
No, they are highly intelligent, and they only do what you let them.
I simply would not allow my cats anywhere near my room, they would hover at the threshold when they wanted something but they knew shit’s going to hit the fan if they set one foot in there.
And a dog from years ago, I loved her but I would not tolerate her being anywhere near me or begging when food came into the picture. I taught her through my consistent actions that she’s going to be sent away. So she learned to sit near me but always look elsewhere. If she’s so much as raised an eyebrow at me or turned towards me while I was eating, she got sent away.
It’s really easy to train pets you just have to not be the laziest in the world which apparently is most owners.
I just lost both of my dogs last month but I always had zero problem with them being in the kitchen. I would never feed them though purposefully, although obviously food gets accidentally dropped and one of them would usually clean it up( I know that’s not really healthy for them obviously). They knew better than to ever beg for food during cooking or dining
Eh I don’t even know what point I was trying to even make here. I think I just miss my dogs.
Meh. Dogs are basically garbage disposals LOL
You probably did well just by not reinforcing the negative behaviors and letting them get their scraps
Sorry you miss your dogs
After cooking ground beef, rinsing it in a colander.
JFC. You strain the oil off it if there’s a lot but you don’t rinse it with water.
This post was prompted by a memory of going grocery shopping with a friend. When we got to his place he proceeded to cut open the pack of chicken breasts, open the freezer (normal so far), and place the raw chicken breasts one by one on the freezer shelf with no bags or wrapping of any kind.
He explained to me that he used a window scraper to get them out when he was ready to thaw one and did so by just throwing the raw-dogged breasts in a sliding drawer at the bottom of the fridge. I never ate anything he cooked after that
Man why do I go on the internet? It’s nothing but horror.
and I love it
Good grief. This is almost as bad as the person who posted about his dad wiping his face with raw chicken juice.
I never ate anything he cooked after that
I’d be much more worried about the things he didn’t cook.
I hate this knowledge, thanks! Horror!
My ex was day drunk and wearing lingerie and power sharted right on my kitchen floor
Are you short, because username is this close to checking out
I’m sorry she found someone else
The one that got away
Dangit that made me spit 🤣
Holy shit I’m crying laughing lmao
I’m not sure why, but I need to know… was your ex male or female?
She was a punk rock girl all tatted up. She felt quite bad about dropping the deuce
I guess it’s the thought that counts
I saw a human person use Tide laundry detergent to wash a Thanksgiving turkey.
😋 yum 😋
Man what the heck is going on in people’s kitchens?? I’m reading some wild responses here. This just confirms why I never eat food at potlucks…
I disagree. They disavowed their human status the moment they did that.
One of my ex girlfriends would wash her dishes without rinsing them. Ues soapy water to scrub them and just put them in the disk strainer.
I was shocked how common this was in the French Canadian community in Montreal when I lived there as a young man. The first time I saw it I just stood there blinking.
Okay hear me out. Do this, lick the plate, see if you can taste the soap. Dishwashing soap is food safe (in the sense that you can only intentionally poison yourself with it) so taste is the only thing that matters. You could even do a blind taste test to really get scientific with it.
Yeah, its food safe and everything but the whole point of soap is that it clings to the shit you don’t want on the dish so that you can rinse away all the food scraps and oils.
Won’t hurt me but it’s weird watching how long it takes a glass that wasn’t rinsed well to dissipate foam. An alarmingly long time when pouring carbonated drinks or something viscous like milk.
I was led to believe that soap left on dishes can give you diarrhea or worse.
I mean, dishwashers and even washing machines for clothes have a rinsed cycle for a reason, I’d bet.
Having experience drinking water from a glass that wasn’t rinsed, I agree you shouldn’t ingest dish soap.
Not to mention that soap alone doesn’t get rid of food particles, it’s the water’s job to carry it off the dish and down the drain.
My sister mixed diahsoap and water cause it was in a cordial bottle as kids.
She then proceeded to throw up bubbles was awesome
A backflip, but this was at a houseparty for their birthday so many not that odd
Opened their fridge and took a sip of ketchup straight from the bottle.
When I would go to restaurants with my grandfather he would down all the available ketchup, cream, honey, jam packets, etc.
He grew up in the depression, and his attitude was if it was on the table, it’s his to eat.
Yeah I watched him do a lot of shooters of keychup up in my life.
…I have done this with bbq sauce I’m sorry
pickle juice…
That’s just easy electrolytes. Nothing wrong with that, chum
