Cooking

[Tommy]

Just in case anyone doesn't get it. It's a picture I found on the internet. I'd never do that to Spaghetti.  And I don't have a shitty ass gas stove.

Gas stove is way superior when it comes to cooking though.

Meh. Maybe when it comes to controlling the temperature. But it's a bitch to clean and just seems kinda backwards. Induction all the way!

I’ve had induction a few months now. Brings water to the boil a million times quicker, far more energy conserving and easier to clean. I get what you mean when it comes to being able to properly use a wok/pan etc. I’m too worried I’ll scratch the glass

Just snap the spaghetti in half and put it in the pan. 

Don't show any Italians this sentence.

I've been using induction for a few years now as well. I quite like it, and it's great in many aspects, but it also has a few significant shortcomings for me. Not being able to use all cookware, especially a proper wok (not the flat-bottomed ones), not able to char/roast stuff directly over the flame, and I also hate touch controls.

Gas is simple, versatile, better temperature control, also works when there's power outtage.

Gas is the way. 

Doesn't remain hot after turning off and I've found is more consistent when cooking.

Anyone use pressure cookers or air fryers? We were gifted both, and they are both very interesting and make cooking easier and still very tasty. 

Last night I got some salmon, and barely sprinkled some seasoning on it, with some oil and lemon, and then put it in the air fryer, and it came out perfect. I didn't take a photo, but it looked like this and definitely still had it's moist and flaky center.

That comment is why @Stan needed to get married and that photo is the reason @Tommy may never get married... 

You realise i was joking right

I was just following on from @Dr. Gonzo comment ignoring the fire and looking at a weird wooden spork thing

I'm not this much of a heathen!

I’ve been told to get an air fryer for a while, but haven’t bothered yet because of how much people have told me to get one .

Salmon looks delightful!

 

Edit: I know it’s not yours, but it’s made me want to cook the salmon I have.

The top plates always remain hot after cooking till they cool down with gas? My induction is instantly cool. Unless you’re talking about the old style ceramic induction.

My never seemed to be hot. 

And yes, I was speaking about ceramic, as it was the last electric stove top we had.

Ceramic is fucking terrible mate. New induction is legit brilliant.

Still prefer the gas, but it's good to know the technology has been upgraded in the electric oven field.

Made Couscous salad yesterday. Couscous is seriously great, and you can combine it with so many different things. 

Today I made pasta (Farfalle) with a simple, tomato - feta sauce. Also included caramelized onions, grated carrot and herbs de provence. Good stuff.

The olive harvesting season is slowly starting, so I've been buying freshly pressed extra virgin olive oil from the local farmers... Simply amazing.

Has anyone noticed a shortage of salt in the supermarkets? I think it’s all been used up in the Manchester United vs Everton match day thread.

Not air fryers but have a pressure cooker. You can make a stock on two hours max. In a professional kitchen stocks take all say but they can be made in 4 hours. Amazing things.

Italians are very funny about their food. If you put cream in a carbonara and still call it a carbonara you will hear about it all day. This hotel I use to work at I made a creamy pasta dish for staff lunch and made sure I didnt call it carbonara because the Italian waitress would have beat me with a stick

When I was living in student halls, an Italian once had a huge argument with a Canadian, because the latter said Alfredo sauce was her favourite part of Italian cuisine
