One problem plaguing a lot of people these days, especially burgers like myself, is that many people eat out at restaurants too much instead of preparing home cooked meals. Eating out is frequently both more expensive and less healthy for you than a home cooked meal. Furthermore, many people live with a limited library of meals that they know how to prepare and don't realize the culinary possibilities that are right in front of them.
The purpose of this thread is to try to break that habit of eating out and to make cooking at home become the norm in our lives. Please share meal ideas and how to prepare them here. All meals are welcome, although preferably we should post meals that are easy to prepare so that novice cooks will not be intimidated by the prospect of preparing them for themselves. Even simple sandwiches are fair game. Sometimes that may mean cutting corners with pre-made mixes instead of preparing everything from scratch.
Remember that the goal isn't necessarily to post the most inexpensive meals or the healthiest meals, although those meals are certainly very welcome. The goal is to encourage people to dust off their kitchen appliances and flex their atrophied cooking muscles. I realize that this opens the door to culinary nightmares like /tg/'s infamous meat-bread, but so be it. Let's get cooking!

What's a good electric pot that has full-range control of temperature? I like crock pots (slow cookers), and using them, but I'm wondering if there's one like that goes high-enough where you can saute or brown meats right in the pot before slow-cooking the rest of the meal?
I have a power quick pot (instant pot clone) from years ago that works alright now, but my biggest problem I have with it is that it has problems with temperature control. First temperature problem is that it's all presets and no custom setting (that's not for pressure cooking, I prefer slow-cooking). Second temperature problem, is that in larger-meals, the pot NEVER gets to temperatures below boiling. If it's boiling or above, it'll reach it, but below it, it undershoots.
I've briefly-entertained using the pressure settings more, but most of the features multicooker-pressure advertises for are redundant, or I can supplant for larger quantities using the stove/oven.
So, is there an electric pot that sear as well as slow-cook? I've literally tried five different websites to search for something like this, and got bogged down in dogshit content-farming every single time.

Not sure how true it is, but seam to remember some say as long as you don't cut the "stem" (roots) of the onion when you cut you don't get as much tear inducing "fumes".

Spritz it with a mist of water. The released chemicals bond to the water. You could soak it, however it won't be in the onion and instead in the water.

I rarely eat fast food anymore, got out of it during the covid lockdowns and when I tried to eat it again it was all so PACKED with salt that it made me sick. had a chik-fil-a chicken sandwich and fries and it took me all day to recover from all the salt, no wonder we have a high blood pressure and heart disease epidemic, not too mention it all got hit by shrinkflation so not only is it way more expensive but they cut the portions in half
I don't think this was a design mistake.

About 2 and 1/2 hours in so of course it's time to add the well season marrow bones. Our temperature is at about 1:45 so still another half hour to go before wrapping. And for extra meta here's a picture of me taking a picture of the marrow bones added
The fun thing about chiggun tendies (unbreaded) is that theres a ver smol window between "dry as shit" and "projectile vomiting". Its about 1-2 minutes, if you're pan-frying. I recommend poking them to gauge tenderness, and set them aside to rest roght BEFORE they come to temp (so by resting)

depending on temp, of course (5.75 on my stove, but it sucks so anywhere from 3.5-5.5 for most)

Sidenote, smoked beef tallow and/or (ideally) smoked lard is one of the finest 'involved' ingredients you could ever incorporate
Like, I can't make carnitas without smoking 1-2 pork butts first, cuz smoked lard is goddamn amazing

Almost there, just a bit more color 
Roasting the onions, before the bell peppers.
Celery is a lie. Celery is not food, at best it's an herb. Bell pepper > celery.
Then gonna blend the mirepoix (+baby carrots).
Ordinarily, one would medium-fine dice the mirepoix, and then brown them in olive oil. Instead, Im 'leafing' the onions to char the outside and then blending the shit.

Notes, if anyone cares or is following along.
I only had about 1 tablespoon of tomato paste, so I supplemented with Gochu Jiang paste. Great stuff.
Forgot the wine, will use to rehydrate the braise in an hour or so.

>>7 →Of course! Though, aside from a nibble of some of the fattier undesirable parts, they havent been eaten yet.
The function of making it was to test (without a control, regrettably) the results of the short rib seared on a smoker contrasted with recalled experience seared on a stove. The results were more or less conclusive regarding the flavor (overall a benefit, but consideration of flavor balances becomes increasingly important), but the real test will be the grilled cheese sandwiches tomorrow

Results of the short ribs were as follows:
Using a smoker to sear the short ribs does produce a greater depth of flavor in the ribs, though the surface was a bit more dry/hard than with a pan-sear, even after braising.
Roasting/blending the mire poix (versus dicing and browning in a pan) worked REALLY well, though the resulting sauce was a bit too strong so I opted to cut it with heavy cream instead of butter to finish.

Smoke-rendering lard today! I started it off at ~250 to get the pan/process going, and then immediately dropped to minimum (180)
sidenote, I can testify that aliminum foil blocks certain types of energy cuz I couldnt find it cuz it had foil and didnt look how I was thinking it would. Thats the same thing, right?
In spite of semi-permissive seed-oil comments, there is no contest that the best oils tend to come from flesh, and where flavor is involved I argue that smoked lard reigns supreme. I'll be adding a 10lb pork butt alongside, shortly but for now im letting this go

K so the lard is up to temp, gonna set it to 'simmer at about 275 while I add the cold dry-brined pork.
I was just gonna do a basic pepper coat over the dry brine, but at the last second decided to add a smol dusting of garlic and onion powders, after giving a 1" diamond cross-hatch on the fat cap (down, to start with)

(Theres a reason saved bacon fat is amazing, its cuz its fundamentally smoked lard)
Also, while Ive never rendered lard by smoke before, I do encourage smushibg the fat globules with a fork, as though like mashed potatoes

5 hours later, reading 180 internal, kicking it up to 330 until it hits around 205
Ended up shutting her down around 2:30a (so total cook time pf ~12 hours), probing at 205 at the thickest (she thicc).
Hheres something I havent ever seen someone on the internet say or do.
Lots of people have all sorts of fancy/involved resting methods. Some people use the oven, some people wrap their meat in a towrl and put it in a cooler.
Hey, I've got an idea. In fairness, this idea is predicated on the idea that one's smoker, grill, barbecue, or whatever is
A. 1/8" steel
B. Was just a minute ago heated to 350 degrees, is now no longer hearing, has been vented, and will be radiating heat for a few hours yet
Yeah, justeave the fukkin thing on the grill. Its wrapped in foil isn't it? The whole point of the prolonged rest is to increase tenderness and shit by slowing the temperature decrease. Well, I shut it off 2 hours ago and its still probing at 185. Obviously, thats going to go paraboloc in ots temperature decrease, but you're still looking at a 4+ hour rest, which is what alot of pros recommend

And to close out this absolute touchdown pf a pork butt.
~10lb(pre cook) pork butt (~$20)
3 lb pork fat ($6)
Smoke pellets ($10 worth)
I'm not gonna try to calculate the price of the salt, pepper, onion, garlic powder.
So for $36 and a combined cook/rest time of 16 hours, produced approximately 40-50 servings of smoked pulled pork. Bbq sauce is ~$4, buns are $3 for 12,...
The point I'm getting at is that the end point price of an over-the-top pulled pork sandwich comes out to a cost of about $1.50. I'll snap a pic of one of the sandwiches in the afternoon, buuuuuuuuuuut
(I also pulled a little over 4 fluid cups of smoked lard,... plenty for carnitas ^_^)

Gambatte!
Addendum: it was 3 fl cups of lard and 1 fl cup of condensed bone/smoke broth, not 4 and 0. The smoke broth got mixed back into the meat for service. Just saying.
Still gonna be goddamn delicious

I should also say, theres extra sharp cheddar slices, theres crispyfried onions, theres candied jalapeno, theres... mayo I guess
Its a 6, the salt is too intense, needs compensation. Moar bbq sauce, or something else sweet, thinking honey

This is a testament to how you can absolutrly nail every aspect. The fat is gummy and gelatinous, the meat is crumbly/spicy- coarse on the outside.
But the salt is a little heavy. Its plenty edible, butbthis COULD be an S rank. And its a B

Zomg, if you like delicious sauces that burn both ways, come check this one out. Its flavor is amazing, and the spiciness is really next level, even for this brand (I have several already). Highly recommended for spicelords

Final skin-crisp at 500 deg
Also. Chatgpt confirms, the "shut it off and let it rest in the heated metal" method is peak efficiency
Heres to all the faggots out there doing your thang today.

OMFG SMASHED BROCOLLI CHIPS. OMFG SMASHED BROCOLLI CHIPS.
Bruh. Smashed broccoli chips, try it.
Bruh. Smashed broccoli chips, try it.
This evening I made some spicy beans-n-rice with chorizo. I browned a pound of chorizo with a chopped onion, a chopped bulb of garlic, and six chopped jalapenos, with a little salt and pepper. I added two cups of chicken stock and brought it to a boil and added a little can of tomato paste, whisked in. Then I looked over the shelves and poured in an assortment of canned sauces with labels in Spanish that were marked down at a local supermarket--salsa taquera, salsa de jalapeno, and I can't even remember what else. When all of this came to a boil I added a can of mixed vegetables, two cans of beans, two cups of water, and a cup of brown rice. I brought all of this back to a boil. Then I put it in the oven at 275 for an hour, to simmer it without scorching. It's nice and spicy, very piquant and savory. One of the sauces had a smoky chipotle flavor that went really well with the chorizo, and I think it may have been the one labeled "taquera." Most of the leftovers are now in the freezer, but I'll eat some more tomorrow. In retrospect I should have gotten some white button mushrooms and sliced them up to brown with the onions and peppers at the beginning. I should also have gotten some oyster crackers. 8/10, not the best thing I've ever made, but it was cheap and filling, and has protein.

Alright, let's talk Christmas dinner.
Alton Brown has a technique for a prime rib that works really well: you unpackage the roast 4 days before cooking and let it sit for 2 days in the fridge, wrapped in cheese cloth, and then for the next 2 day you dry rub/brine.
But I have a brisket. So lets get fancy
The plan
- Comprehensive red wine and spice marination, 18 hrs
- S/low cook in marinade until 165
- Pat dry, binder with smoked lard, and season
- Texas crutch, onto the smoker for like 6 hours, basting with compound butter every 15-20 mins
- after internals at 205, baste with a creme bruglee-esque glaze/paste, and crisp with a blowtorch

Plan includes cloves in the fat cap during the butter basting stage, for extra extra (it works for ham)
The Marinade
1 bottle dry Merloy
1 roasted shallots
3 bulbs roasted garlic
2-3 sprigs fresh thyme
1 sprig fresh rosemary
1 small sprig fresh sage
½ cup fresh or cranberries
1 cinnamon stick
1 tbsp black peppercorns
1 tbsp kosher salt
1 tbsp honey
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar

Fun fact about country livestock butchers versus city/production butchers. See that hazy membrane that looks like silverskin? Thats not silverskin. Conventional butchers trim that off and mix it in with their ground beef cuz it looks off.
That membrane turns into beef jelly. Its incredible. But they cut it off for the store cuz ppl don't know what it is. So sad.

As a last-minutewild hair addition, decided to smoke roast a bell pepper and throw in a pinch of food-grade lavendar. Hush, If you're straining the solids, it doesnt matter.

Foggy cuz theres lard residue, but sealed at 1:01 am. Now, just gotta toss it a few times until 11pm
Yes, theres a peak timing to marinades: 18 hours
