I feel like such an idiot, can we share cooking myths and put an end to all this nonsense?
>don't pour oil down the drain
Dish soap and dishwasher detergent break the grease down and we flush gallons of that down the drain every day, a little oil isn't going to hurt.
>Le put le bay leaf in le soup
Actual bullshit herb that serves no purpose. I dare you to microwave some test comparison ramen packs and taste the difference. You won't be able to.
>Tupperware or most other food containers
I honestly don't know how they get away with this. Deli cups all use the same lid for any size, stack no matter what, and fits more sanely in any cabinet or lunchbox. You can even freeze, microwave and run through the washer.
>Eating healthy is too expensive! I'll just enjoy my Pepsi 🙂
Fat sugar addict cope. You can get a sandbag of rice and oats that would last you years for less than 20 dollars. Most vegetables are dirt cheap, and you can just plant most of the stuff you get from the store to get 10x as much. Bread costs next to nothing to make. Tomatoes and onions grow like weeds.
We had a thread on here a couple years ago and a bunch of anons were talking about how soaking sherrfish in lemon juice essentially "cooks" them (toughens the meat and makes it safe to eat) within a couple/few hours.
It absolutely does fucking not >:[
fuck off nagger I ain't reading all that shit
>literally takes more time to post than to read the OP
what an attention hooker
I'll touch my penis all day before I read any of that bullshit
I am here in your stupid thread, we can talk, just not about anything stupid like in the OP
oh I'm not OP
Salmonella. Turns out it's not the 40's anymore, it's over.
I swear bay leaf is an American South scam from their civil war when they couldn't get hold of certain ingredients

This is probably a meme from the days before sneed oils were common and literally everyone used animal fats or crisco
Literally the only time I ever have a large amount of fat left over in a pan is when I cook burgers.
Then again I don't deep fry.
>Literally the only time I ever have a large amount of fat left over in a pan is when I cook burgers.
Yeah, I pour it on the dog food. I also have a cowboy grill I cook meat over when the weather allows it.
I fell for cast iron meme. Pretty soon everything tasted like metal and even rust. Now I am a stainless steel bvll
my füd has never tasted of metal from caste iron. what the fuck are doing? I hear really acidic foods like lemon juice and vinegar can cause that but even then.
another annoying meme is cooking meat to 165 or whatever it is for safety. just shows they are too cowardly to even give real advice. I hope they die.

>If I use dish soap while pouring the fat, oil, and grease down the drain it will break it up and allow it to pass through the pipes.
>Wong! Dish soap only temporarily breaks up the fat, oil, and grease. Further down the sewer line all that grease, oil, and fat will begin to congeal and cause a blockage.
So... what you're saying is that if I wash my pan with Dawn while the fat/oil is still in it then pour it down the drain, it becomes the city's problem and not mine?
OK.
I just throw it over the neighbours fence
> I just throw it over the neighbours fence
Ahhh memories
We used to fry turkey for every occasion at my buddies house. He had an eyesore yard next door with an absent owner who let it get overgrown because he knew my buddy would get disgusted and mow it himself before the town would ticket him.
After a long day of deep frying everything we could think up in the fry daddy, culminating with the turkey, we would bring that grease up to red line temperature and then dump it in that asshole’s yard. We took to coating his front porch with old grease too and when the asshole would show up once every few months he would slide all over the floor trying to get to the door.
>liquid oil magically coagulates into a solid in the sewer for no reason
Yeah I'm calling bullshit
>for no reason
I imagine it's because the water to fat ratio increases. The fat is probably emulsified by the dawn when the water to fat ratio is lower but then the water/fat/dawn mixture hits the sewer water, the water to fat ratio increases and the fat separates.
In any case, it was really nice for that city government website to confirm for me that the emulsification will last long enough for the mixture to remain emulsified until it hits the city sewers. It was very nice of them to inform me that it won't be my problem.
>what is soap
baby dont hurt me
>wrong
>too cheap to buy fresh leaves cope
>get away with what? providing a product that is decent?
>litteraly no one under 200lb
>Dish soap and dishwasher detergent break the grease down and we flush gallons of that down the drain every day, a little oil isn't going to hurt.
that shit pollutes the environment, don't be a nagger.
it can also clog your pipes if it's more than "a little".
>Actual bullshit herb that serves no purpose. I dare you to microwave some test comparison ramen packs and taste the difference. You won't be able to.
you might have defective tastebuds if you can't immediately recognize the aroma of bay leaves in dishes.
>Deli cups all use the same lid for any size, stack no matter what, and fits more sanely in any cabinet or lunchbox. You can even freeze, microwave and run through the washer.
I can't easily find deli cups where I live. I'm fine with my Tupperware style containers, which also come in bigger sizes and more versatile shapes.
>Bread costs next to nothing to make.
I'd make my own bread if I could get it to rise during proofing. Rises just fine the first time, then the second time it just ends up as a dense mess no matter how long I leave it.
