most likely the atmoshpere it too dry. the mirco waves react with the water inside the corn kernel turning it into vapor and then exploding, resulting in popcorn. if there isn't enough moisture in it the little moisture that's in it will make the starch rub making it burn. basically think of how when you rub your hands together, they get warm. this is the ame thing except more powerful. you don't need a popcorn button. just lower the power setting and add a small cup of water. maybe about 3 tbsp. with a fork in it.

better still, set the microwave to the suggested time, and listen for the popping to slow down. If all else fails, set it to 30 seconds less than the recommeneded time and deal with more seeds.

Watch Hell's Kitchen or Kitchen Nightmares (either the original or the American ones). Who usually fucks up and gets yelled at the most? Usually arrogant, self righteous Executive chefs who think they know everything.
Cooks who think they are above anything other than caviar, fois gras and truffles are overcompensating for a lack of talent and taste with flashy, expensive ingredients.
TRY making a good chili, or french toast, or biscuits. Simple goods are often the best, and require a lot more finesse than ingredients that are good all on their own.

Love is beneath him.
For aromatics, the tradition in Louisiana is the "trinity", onion, celery and bell pepper. (and garlic, but who's counting)
for turkey, i have found onion, garlic and thyme (maybe som elemon) works pretty well.

try this one for ketchup.
8 lbs tomatos (it sounds like a lot but you'll cook out all the water.
1 cup white vinegar
1 cup sugar
salt to taste
pepper to taste
bring a pot of water to boil. dump the tomatos in for about 30 seconds. then dump them into cold water. this should release the skin. once they've cooeld peel them. cut them in half and squeeze out the seeds. put them in a pot with the vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper. bring it to a boil and cook it for a long time. make sure you stir it to make sure it doesn't stick to the bottom. if it does, it'll burn and you'l have to start over again. once it reduces to about half lower the temp to low and let it simmer for 2 hours. take it off of the heat and puree i in a blender until it's perfectly smooth. return it back to the heat and cook it on low heat until it's the right consistency. remember that once it cools, it'll be thicker, so keep taht in mind. taste it. if it's not as sweet as you want or sour as you want, adjust it with sugar or vinegar. if you want in the begining you can add garlic, or onions, or whatever you want.
smoothie? i don't really have a recipe. i just dump a bunch of yogurt with whatever fruit i got lying around into a blender iwht some ice. i tend to stay awat from berries because , altough i like the taste, i don't like the texture of the seeds. especially rapsberries. so i liek things like banana... that's pretty much it.
More arrogance. nice. Why not answer the question rather than dodging it? Or simply say "I dont know"
why don't you just tell me what i'm all about then?
true. A good chef cooks whatever he's asked to cook.
that's one opinion. there's lots that i won't cook. i like french cooking. that's what i know. to me a good cook does a few things well, does them relentlessly, and people go to them. i know this one place downtown. it's run by a husband and wife chinese couple. they ONLY make wontons and noodles. they're profit margin is really small but they make a fortune since they have a line outside their place all day long.
TRY making a good chili, or french toast, or biscuits. Simple goods are often the best, and require a lot more finesse than ingredients that are good all on their own.
sorry, i was trying to be funny.
Thi chef doesn't have any answers for us!
i work long hours and i only get a few hours of free time a day. i can't reply immediately.
Watch Hell's Kitchen or Kitchen Nightmares (either the original or the American ones). Who usually fucks up and gets yelled at the most? Usually arrogant, self righteous Executive chefs who think they know everything.
and hells kitchen is the status quo for all kitchens? don't get me wrong, i agree with you. but you're jumping to conclusions about me.
Maybe you should have read some threads and got the vibe of the posters. We are more a chilli, ketchup type crowd than a foo foo french parfiat type whatever.
do i not have a right to post here? if i don't conform to the chili and kethcup crowd am i banned? french food at it's essence is based on poverty. while the rich aristocracy was munching on filet, and lobster the poor people who were stuck with chucks of neck and organ meats had to learn how to cook, and started the revolution which made french cuisine what it is today. most of what you eat you owe to centuries of european trial and error. bitro cooking is far more important then fine dining will ever be. but i guess most people don't know much outside of the "foo foo french parfait" stuff.
probably thinks because he works for someone who accomplished things, he is part of the same club. While culinary awards do have merit, for a lot of people, its like belonging to mensa, just a bunch of exclusionary jackasses stroking each other's egos and basking in their own "superiority".
newb asked for credentials. what am i supposed to do? post a pic of my diploma? i don't think that i'm on the same level as my boss. like i said, he asked for credentials. postina link to where i workedand the awards my boss has won seemed more reasonable then saying "i'm a good cook, take my word for it".

the trinity basically does the same thing as mire poix (the combo of veg you just mentioned). it adds sweetnes and body. if you want to step away from that, there's an italian way of making stock that's not very popular here. go to an italian deli and ask for a prosciutto bone. dump it in a pot with white wine, carrots, tomatos and water to cover. boil the shit out of it and strain.

Give a simple fennel recipe, and not a salad!
chef_koo
10-13-2007, 04:26 AM
this is a real easy one.
braised fennel
3 heads of fennel
4 strips of bacon
1 carrot
1 onion
1 cup white wine
1 cup chicken stock
preheat the oven to 400 degrees. slice off the tops of the fennels and then quarter the bulbs. roughly chop the onion bacon and carrot. bring a large pot up to high heat and brown the bacon. once brown add the carrot and onion. stir this for about a minute. when the bottom of the pan looks like it's starting to go dark add the wine. boil it for about 1 minute. add the stock and the fennel. season with salt and pepper to taste. cover with water and bring to a boil. put a lid on it and reduce the heat to a simmer and let it cook for 2.5 - 3 hours. take the lid off and prick the core of the fennel with a fork. if it's tender it's ready. if it's a bit resistant you gotta cook it longer. if it's ready take out the fennel. now the liquid is my favorite part. it's got all the flavor floationg around. you can make a good sauce with this if you want. just puree it in a blender and strain it through a sieve. it won't look pretty but it'll taste good.
if you're feeling like you wanna guild the lilly a bit sprinkle some cheese on it and put it in the oven for a bit to make the cheese brown and crispy. i think it's good on it's own. eat it with fish or meat.

"Are they meat?"
"Well..."

no, you make it with leaf, you make butter with the leaf then use that in you're recipe...
actually you grind the bud and leaves up, boil them in water strain the water, add butter and make sure its boiled with it, the fat from the butter will absorb the THC. Then you put that pot, or whatever you put the buttery weed water into, in the freezer so that the fat all collects at the top and solidifies. The butter then should be green, that butter you can use on anything, put it in cookies or brownies, or just put it on toast. thats how you make bud brownies/cookies/anything.
Edit: keep the water, not the strained bud/leaf just noticed that the way i wrote it could be confusing.

How about a good recipe for a watermelon & feta salad?
Phalanx
10-13-2007, 11:39 PM
Hm...
I don't know any myself, but just guessing what I'd go with some "hot day" fresh and crunchy ingredients for that one, something like a fusion of fruit salad, and a standard salad...
Danish fetta, it's a lot milder.
champagne (yellow) watermelon
roma tomato sliced long
fresh basil (goes with the cheese very well) + mint leaves
finely sliced kaffir lime leaf, used very sparingly
very small amount of carraway seeds, and sesame seeds.
Mango slices
Cucumber sticks
Lychees - they rock a salad.
The fruit is largaly it's own dressing, so nothing much flavour-wise required, maybe just a little plain yoghurt per serve, lemon zest over the top, some sea salt flakes, Fresh black pepper.
I guess a chilli flower for garnish, maybe sliced starfruit here and there might look nice.
I'd serve it on it's own, or maybe with some grilled baby octopus or sashimi tuna.

k that's a toughy. the bacon is what gives it the body. try this one. hopefully you eat dairy.
fennel gratin
1/2 litre whipping cream (or since you're in the UK double cream)
5 bulbs of fennel
salt
pepper
parm cheese
bread crumbs
in a bowl mis the cheese with the bread crumbs. toss with a little water so it's a little clumpy. slice the fennel thinly with a knife of a mandolin. in a pot bring the cream to a boil with the salt and pepper. add the fennel and cook until it's tender. using tongs take the fennel out of the cream and place it into a baking dish that's big enough to make a layer of fennel at least an inch thick. pack it down. drizzle a little bit of the cream over it so it's a bit more moist. top with the bread crumbs and bake in a 350 oven until the top is brown and crispy. let it cool in the fridge. then when you're ready to eat heat it up and again and spoon it out. if you don't let it cool you'll have a big mess of mush. cooling it keeps the shape.
I've never understood when people say
"I'm a vegetarian so I'll have...a tuna sandwich!"
i'm kind of teh same way. i see it all the time at work. "chef? this guy is a vegetarian, but pork, lamb, fish, and beef are ok." i do'nt really care. people have the right to eat whatever they want. for me that it comes down to is, if you can't look at the face of an animal that yiou're going to eat, or have the balls to do it yourself, you're a hypocrite. people see markets in countries outside of the english speaking world and are shocked at the panorama of cruelty. but at least it's a hell of alot more honest than our system of buying pre processed, pre packaged meats.

Also since you say you are a chef then you should be able to pull recipes from outta your ass almost. I can pull recipes from the top of my head and not even look at a cook book. No im not trying to say im better then you, I find it rather funny that you can't do something simple.
You say your here to help people with there questions, I see you starting arguments because you seem to think your better. Probably because of the Frenchy in you.
I have been taught well by Horrors own cheebs and many different teachers with there own styles, so yeah I usually know what im talking about.
And did I read this right but did you say your from France with a chinese boss that just got knighted?
As for smoothies, you don't need a recipe. Grab some yoghurt, fruit and blend hehe.
Popcorn in a microwavable packet or just loose popcorn? I don't buy microwave ones as I don't have a microwave ( can't stand the buggers ), heat some oil, add a lil salt ( this brings the temp up ) add 1 popcorn kernal and if it starts dancing about the pan then its ready. Add kernals, close your lid, shake around a lil and wait for popping. Don't have it up on a high heat, medium to high should do it. Just keep moving your pot around. When the popping slows then its done. :)
I suggest adding pepper, tobasco or nutella. mmmmm
I don't disagree with everything you said chef but I think you are talking about 80% shit.

I'm 13. I eat meat and although my nan doesn't agree with it, my excuse is that, they're not, in my lifetime at least, going to stop meat and the animal's already dead so I might as well fulfill it's dying purpose. Better than it's life being wasted for no reason. I'd only become a vegetarian to lose weight.
I became a vegetarian to GAIN weight. Seriously, because until you get everything sorted out, let's face it, you don't eat very healthy. So I gain a bit of weight starting out and then not eating meat helped me to maintain a healthy weight. Unfortunately I also suffer from an iron deficiency so I'm having a hard time finding a nice middle ground.
can anyone help me out with an answer that isn't "iron pills"? cause I will only take pills as a last resort.

revenol are tablets. It's described as a herbal anti-oxidant blend. I've read the ingredients but can't be bothered to list them. Basically, each tablet is 1380 mg and the vitamins in them are
Vitamin A - 7600IU 285% RDA
Vitamin C- 86mg 143% RDA
Vitamin E- 10 IU 67% RDA
Calcium 804mg 100% RDA
Good stuff. My nan is really high up in the buisness and gets lots of money from it. Plus a new car every 4 years. At the moment she has a £40,000 (roughly $80,000) lexus.
Maximol is a drink. You take a tiny amount with water and it has -
protein, carbs, vitamin c, thiamin, riboflavin, vitamin b6, vitamin b12, biotin, iodine, selenium, manganese, chromium, molybdenum.

doesnt really narrow down the field. but give this a try. it's super easy. although it's a bit heavy on the oil, but you can adjust it.
spaghetti aglio alio
1/4 cup chopped parsley
2 TBPS chili peppers
1/4 cup chopped garlic
1/2 cup olive oil
salt
pepper
parm cheese (optional. i personally don't loike it but many do)
one big fist full of spaghetti.
boil the pasta like the packages says to. wheh nyou're about 1 minutes away from the pasata being cooked, heat up a pan to med heat. add the oil, the garlic, and the chili peppers. drain the pasta and add it to the pan. add the parsley and toss it like a salad. if yo uwant to cut down on the oil use les. and instead of tossing it in the pan pour the pasta into a big mixing bowl and pour the oil mixture on top. since you're using less oil the pasta would stick to the pan. thus, the bowl.

disclaimer: making omlettes at home for yourself is easy enough but at school i fucked up more omlettes i can remember so excuse me while i type this response with trembling hands.
anyways. i mix it together before it goes into the pan. this ensures an evenly cooked omlette. the adding of ingredienst is more of a north american thing. it's comes down to preference. so there you have it. say what you will about me, i can''t tell a lie.
as long as we're on the topic here's the french method of making an omlette
heat a small 8 inch fry pan to high heat. in a bowl whisk 2 eggs well and season with salt. make sure it's homogeneous. you don't want bits of white floating in a pool of yolk and vice versa. have a rubber spatula ready. if you don't have a rubber one, anyone will do. once the pan is hot add 1Tbps of oil (i do'nt like to use butter) to the pan and dump in the eggs. immediately stir the eggs briskly with the spatula. onec it becomes a scrambled egg looking mass that's still runny, take it off of the heat. tilt the pan and starting at the top roll the omlette like a cigar, off onto a plate. eat it. the inside should be nice and soft and slightly runny. i know alot of people don't like it like that so cook it to your desired doneness. i like it soft and runny. if you want to add ingredients, make sure they're cooked before you add it to the egg.

i'm pretty sure i said anythign will do if you don't have one... oh wait, are you talking about my omlette response? milk for lightness? i guess you can. that's why i cook it at a high temp. the moisture in the eggs will turn to vapor and make the eggs fluffy. also i think i forgot to mention this but a typical french style omlette should take 30 secs to cook in the pan. very quick. it's one of the most popular lunch items at the restaurant. prolly for that very reason. come in, sit down, order an omlette with a salad or fries, eat it, get out.
HALF A CUP... NO LESS!!! just fyi clogged arteries are a result of trans fatty acids or cholestrol. noth of which are not found in olive oil.
