Were you following a particular recipe or are most recipes for these similar? I'd really like to try and I believe I do have oyster sauce.

Well the price should have told you something was up. New they cost north of 300 bucks.

I just tried the magic eraser and it did absolutely nothing. Almost seems like the discoloring is under the enamel.

Depending how lucky you are with sales, you can get a massive dutch oven at the Le Creuset outlets for not much north of 140$

Nothing more adorable than the Le Creuset dutch oven magnets they sell.

As long as it doesn't affect the cooking, it'll be fine. No one will know when you're serving food in it. And you'll probably store it with the lid on. Just enjoy the great deal you got on it.
This. If you're unhappy with it, Zaraki, I'll gladly buy it at your cost. 🙂

For Father's Day I impose the tyranny of everyone has to let me cook breakfast for them. So last night I made English muffins so I could make sublime sandwiches this morning.
Waiting to be browned in the pan:
Browning each side, bottom more than top:
Out of the oven after baking:
Split, can see I didn't get quite the holes I hoped for. I think this was because I was too aggressive about flattening during the browning to avoid doming:
Final sammich:
Pretty happy about how the taste, texture, and visuals turned out (cornmeal, browning, etc.), just need to perfect the density.

Wife made Shengjianbao today, or Nikuman but with a crispy bottom. I love 'em. So good.
Thanks to H.Protagonist. Your post reminded me that I'd really like to eat them again
I forgot to congratulate her on how awesome those look, too, and yours look yummy also. It occurred to me as I was shaping the English muffin rolls that they'd make great dough for pork^H^H^H^H tofu buns.

Sorry for the late reply, E! I used this recipe: Xiao Long Bao
I did not, however, do the meat jelly section because I didn't have the ingredients or patience to wait all that extra time for my dumplings. ^_^; I simply added a little bit more spring onion water and a fair amount more of the chopped spring onions into the pork mixture to create an extra saucy filling. I didn't find that it affected them negatively at all. They were still really, really good.

I'm...drooling. Those look incredible, and that crispy chewy bottom just cries out to be eaten! I may have to do that this week even though it's been non-stop Asian in this house for days. Recipe?!

Haha. Lucky family! Shouldn't you have had the day off? I love the step-by-step process pictures. The pan browning looks especially glorious. Are they hard to make or just a little time consuming? I'd love to try my hand at these too. I adore English muffins, but the store versions here are just so mealy and without body. I'll try stuffing them with pork too!

I find cooking pretty relaxing and low latency of feedback, plus I love breakfast, so I like doing the whole kit and caboodle. They're not hard to make although if you don't work with dough a lot that may be awkward to people. I hand knead everything, so ~15 minute hand knead, ~75 minute rise, cut and shape and then another ~45 minute rise, then browning in cooking of batches of four, which took maybe 25 minutes, then 20 minutes to cool.

Your muffins look great, Briar! I make around 3,000 every week at work, and it's always nice to see somebody try their hand at doing them at home. Absolutely one of the more underrated breakfast items.

Felt lazy today, ended up making Chili.
Pickled the red onions and jalapenos myself as well.

Great stuff, everybody!
I operated the Grill this weekend for the annual family fest. Since the SausageVan wasn't available this year, I had to resort to two household-sized grills for catering the 50-ish guests. The magical apron helped a lot. We did about 10 Kilograms of pork steaks and chicken breasts each, as well as about 50 sausages. The highlight of the evening was a cucumberdile that one of the guests brought with them.

Family is very impressed by the cucumber-dile, dang.
Sorry to hear about the sausagevan. I remember it from last year. Looking good though.
Everything on this page looks so tasty.
Tonight I cooked a 1.5lb double bone tomahawk porkchop. It was about 3 inches thick. I first cooked it indirectly on the grill with a bit of hickory wood chunks until it reached 140*F then rested while I set up the fire.
I seared it over firewood and also cooked some sliced zucchini in a disposable pie tin with olive oil and some italian spice blend.
I drizzled on some homemade honey mustard sauce and served with a baked sweet potato.
After dinner the fire still had a bit of heat so my older son and I toasted some marshmallows and made s'mores. Good summer meal.

It was a busy day;
Made some garlic dill pickles.
Then tried my hand at making pineapple cream cheese lumpia.
Made the lumpia from the recipe Disney published for the ones they sell inside Pandora at Disney's Animal Kingdom. Can't wait till September when I get to try them for myself.

I love Disney recipes. I love the Cheddar Cheese soup from Canada and the spinach and artichoke dip on their blog site. I'll also use it and substitute the spinach and artichoke for other things like a spicy chicken dip. It makes a whole lot to go around.

I'll give you a tip.
If you make the Canadian Cheddar and Beer Soup from Canada, use the leftovers as a base to make the most rich and delicious macaroni and cheese the next day.

What does everybody here use to flavor shrimp? Grilled,fried,pan fried,do you marinate? I can never get em to taste as good as resturants. Grilling some tonight along with some steaks.
I almost always cook shrimp this way.
http://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2014/09/shrimp-scampi-butter-garlic-recipe.html
You could probably grill them and then toss them in this sauce, or if you want less work you could probably marinate them in a vinaigrette with similar ingredients.

Baked chicken twice in the dutch oven I was posting about in this thread and I think it came out great. Really useful pan to use and heats up really well.
Glad you like it. Wait until you try No Knead Bread in it.

For dinner grilled steaks,shrimp,corn and baked potatoes
Thanks gonna give that recepie a try actually looks tasty. Tonight for the shrimp I salted them and let them sit and right before i threw em on the grill I basted them with a melted butter with citrus and creole seasonings,came out great.

I kind of want to try that next after when I was googling that cookware that 95% of the recommendations and questions were surrounding making no knead bread in it.

For kitchenaid mixers, does it matter if you get one with a glass bowl or a stainless steel bowl? I kind of want the glass one because the sound of scrapping metal drives me insane but curious if one is better to have than the other for mixing.
LocknessMobster
Member
We liked the glass look better and got a good deal on one so we went with that. Those models are usually more expensive but if you wait until Christmas time Dillards sell em for $200 instead of the 350-400. As far as which is better, they perform the same. You can always buy either bowl seperately too.
Not a fan of glass and potential to shatter but I work in a restaurant so I'm using to stainless steel scraping.
Simply panned with a bit of olive oil and garlic, and finally deglazing with some Pastis.
Simply great.

I use both kinds of mixing bowls for hand stuff, and both have their advantages. As for the stand mixer, I have stainless bowls, but there shouldn't be any scraping of the mixers. They should hover over the bowls.
I find glass cleans the easiest, and it's nice to have a heavy solid bowl that won't slide all over the place, but stainless is nice and light. It works better for pouring out the mixes and handling the bowl with one hand and a spatula in the other.
That looks dank

Making Art Smith's Moonshine Cake
It smells amazing, just need to let it sit out overnight to absorb the boozy syrup.
Was shocked it actually came out of the pan in one piece. Tomorrow I'll make a simple glaze to pour over the top, because a Moonshine and Rum cake isn't sweet enough.

Dear fellow IronGAFfers,
I have got a huge problem: Photobucket seems to have changed the TOS, thus disabling all hotlinking of pictures past and present unless I pay like 399USD per year for their new plan. I am not willing to pay such an amount.
Does anybody have an idea on an alternative hosting sevice and how to fix the image links here?
Your help would be appreciated.

I use http://abload.de/ for one offs https://www.flickr.com/ for images I want to save long term. You need to create an account for Flickr, but it's all free.
As for how to fix the previous ones, I really don't know besides editing them one by one.

The Moonshine Cake came out amazing! Man this thing really soaked up that boozy syrup. Also put 1/2oz of Pineapple Rum into the whipped cream.

It's so rich and flavorful.
Next baking experiment I'm doing is a Hummingbird cake for a 4th of July BBQ we're going to.

Why do you have to pay so much? I just use their free version and my pictures are still up.
