Workday Gourmet

Curious about food, ingredients, the why's & what-if's.

I believe "traditions" are evolving, and "authenticity" is not always a priority if you're cooking after every workday. I enjoy replicating dishes from my favorite Bistro/Osteria/Izakaya, at a fraction of the cost and time.

    Hope you enjoy it! Pecan pie is my favorite but hubby can't do nuts, so this is a half way compromise. Nothing will quite replace the pecan flavor, but replacing ~1/4 of the AP flour with einkorn flour really helps adding nuttiness without allergens!

    Rather than using a silicone mold, wouldn't a metal mold of the same shape theoretically produce better results? Silicone is designed to be heat-resistant, and may be preventing the meringues from properly cooking. I may experiment with this at some point. Love the video, by the way :).

    There are so many varieties of rice available in India.... So if you want to make them you have to choose right variety of rice(like, semolina made from "Durum wheat" ) ... puffed rice are two types .... one (we call it "khoi" ) is make from whole grain rice(in Bengali language we call it "dhan") and another (we call it "muri" ) is make from just rice(any parboiled rice, but best is brown coloure parboiled rice).... here you can also found "Flatten rice"... then the flatten rice also convert to crispy.... but one thing you need to know salt does not always work as sand... You have to find thick and clear sand .... if you use fine sand then the result will show very bad... puffed rice also be feel have sand on it.... my English is not so good but I try to explain it.......

    Prosciutto/cured ham is uncooked, but the extended aging time (12+ months in salt) really transforms the texture, so it doesn't taste "raw". I've had salami and pepperoni for many years without realizing they are uncooked.

    For extended time, I would add a 1/4 tsp of yeast, since this recipe gets its rise only from baking soda/baking powder, which may lose leavening strength over time. Live yeast will help with leavening overnight and for days.

    I love the texture and taste of soft boiled eggs but I gave up on making them years ago... I bought a pack of those cheap little silicone 'cups' to make poached eggs in. I can make breakfast for 5 or 6 people really quickly, and the garlic butter toast is ready by the time the eggs are done. I live happily with that compromise... I don't plan on making soft boiled eggs ever again. I'm posting this so others might consider this as an alternative.

  • @workdaygourmet
    @workdaygourmet28 күн бұрын

    I make poached eggs far more often too. Soft boiled is like 90% for marinating and 10% for picnic/road trip where I want something portable. If you're home and just want plain egg for a salad or toast, poached or fried would be a lot faster and easier.

    Pouring the boiling water is genius! Instead, what I've been doing is boiling the eggs in a pasta cooker that has a nesting colander. I put the main pot and colander together to cover the eggs with enough water, then separate the pot and colander leaving the eggs in the colander, bring the water in the main pot, and add the eggs in the colander to the pot once the water is at a rolling boil. Once it's boiled for about a minute, I put it aside for however long I need to get whatever stage of boiled eggs, pull out the whole colander and change the water in the pot to cold water. If it's a smaller batch of eggs, I use a scoop colander to place the eggs in the boiling water instead.

    Theoretically , what temp do you want your butter when pouring to fully pasteurize the egg?

    Depends on egg temp/room temp/blender speed. The final mixture needs to be 60C for a few minutes. With fresh eggs the double boiler is hard to omit if pasteurization is important

    The only predictor of good peeling is the thermal shock. Dump you eggs in boiling water, don't put them in the water before it boils. Also dump them in cold water at the end. The you can pop the shell like a peanut pod.

    In some ramen shops they have a device with a small needle that they pinch the butt of the egg with it's only air so the egg doesn't leak. Once you cook it and icebath it, the water can go neatly between the egg and the shell or membrane. I need to procure myself one of those. I think.

    Peeling quail eggs is harder bc the membrane is much thicker. Roll the egg under light pressure so the shell is cracking all around it. Use the handle of a teaspoon and use it to remove the shell by slightly moving it under the membrane around the shells "equator". Once done you should be able to remove the top and the bottom shell from the egg. That method is working for chicken eggs too…
