Cheese is something that has grown on me in recent years
You mean smegma?

Only if you stop growing cheese on yourself.
I would say ‘oi! Smeg head’ but you are unworthy of such wit. Go fuck yourself.
I WILL go fuck myself, but not because you said so. 😠
Or garlic.
Two cloves? Six it is.
The best thing that ever happened to me was finishing off some caramelized pork slabs in the cast iron pan…
I put some aged white cheddar, turn the heat off, and put the top of the pan on just to do a quick cheese softening… Well of course I forgot about it and left the room
30 minutes later I came back when my stomach was rumbling, lifted the pan lid and realized that the cheese had melted off the pork and onto the pan. There was just the perfect amount of latent heat, by complete fluke, to perfectly caramelize the aged cheddar into a crispy, greasy disc at the bottom of the cast iron pan.
I have tried to recreate that by frying cheese, and I have never been able to capture that moment of pure tastebud joy and bliss.
Accidents are often the best ways to discover cooking techniques. I remember hearing about a story of a medieval cook who feel asleep cooking his lord’s meat over an open fire. At first he thought his lord would have him whipped or beheaded… but actually enjoyed the roast so much he gave him his own farm!
That was from a documentary in the 90s I believe.
The only mistakes I made was not adding more than suggested.
Who needs the leftover quarter bag of shredded cheese anyway.
I do the same with anything that comes in a can. I’m not going to use a tenth of a tomato paste tomorrow. It goes in today.
Good recipes take that into account.
A cook after my own (cheese clogged) heart!
I agree, but my gall stones tell me otherwise.
Had your cholesterol checked at all lately?? ;p
I do the same with garlic. Usually two or three times of what the recipe says.
There is not a single reason in the world not to do so.
I do that! Recipes say “add one clove of garlic” I do at least 5. I swear recipes are written by vampires
I do the same because I love garlic too … unfortunately, this past winter, I discovered there is an upper limit to this ‘one neat trick’ … an entire head of raw garlic on a piece of toast is enough to wish you could physically remove your colon from own body for a few hours.
My condolences to your digestive tract…
Colondolences?
👏🏻
Raw garlic can overpower a dish. It’s a lot harder to do with cooked garlic, though (unless you burn it, at which point it’s not very pleasant in large quantities).
Raw garlic imo is for enjoyment outside the context of a dish. Put it on your sandwich or just chomp on some cloves.
And onions!
It is impossible to have enough onion.
I’m always a bit sad when I caramelize a huge pan of onions for an hour and end up with a couple spoonfuls.
At least you did it correctly!
Hahaha recipe:
Time to prepare: 20 minutes
Step 1: prepare onions for caramelization
…
Also make sure you are adding your garlic later in the cooking cycle. Too early and the flavor will evaporate.
And if you’re doing anything sous vide, use garlic powder instead.
No recipe should ever have only 1 clove of garlic. Unless it’s a recipe for 1 clove of garlic and even then you should at least double it.
There’s actually a better way to get more garlic flavor into your dishes without adding more. The secret is to add the garlic at the last possible moment in the cooking process to reduce the garlic oxidation. The more it oxidizes the less flavor it has. It oxidizes the second you break the cell walls so waiting until the end of possible helps retain the flavor and make it more potent!
And tomato paste.
Maybe you aren’t very sensitive to garlic flavor, or just really like the flavor enough to not notice it is overpowering everything else?
Or they add it at the wrong times
This but with garlic
I realized how much I love adding garlic to soups, so I figured I might aswell try making a soup almost entirely from garlics. It was amazing.
You got a recipe? I’m down to try some garlic soup
I knew a girl that made Gazpacho from a hand written recipe that a French exchange student had left us.
The recipe, amongst other ingredients, said ‘2 Garlic’.
We took that to mean two heads of garlic, instead of two cloves.
That was some spicy ass soup. We sweated our way through it because it was painfully delicious.
No matter how much I showered or brushed my teeth, I radiated garlic for the next couple days and had to explain myself at my barista job.
I did this before with a pizza recipe. Absolutely delicious.
The problem was I had a PT class the next day which was normally outdoors and individual until the group runs but was indoors and partner based that day because it was raining.
My gym partner said he understood, but I know he still resents me. I know.
While I’m pretty good at normal talk in english, I don’t know the names for half of the foods and ingredients lol, so it would be better for both of us if you’d just googled for some recipes and see which one you like
ananas!
I’ve almost managed it with garlic, but that was an “I wonder what’ll happen if I use 3 bulbs instead of 3 cloves” kinda moment
It was still phenomenal, it just had some remarkable… Staying power
I think the rule of thumb is to at a minimum double whatever the recipe asks for
Yes, and also remember when a recipe says cloves, it really means bulbs.
More propaganda from big cheese smh
Climate Town just released a video about exactly this, how the dairy industry is colluding with the US government to offload cheese onto the American public.
This guy gets it 😎
Yo I watched this last night and this post leads me to believe I just live in the matrix…
Came here to say this! That channel is hilarious and informative.
I will always remember the moment when I realized all the “Got Milk?” posters in my elementary and middle school cafeterias were industry propaganda.
join the pepper jack side
Meanwhile, Little Cheese fights those that fight big cheese
Be careful. Maybe im not a good “chef” (is making frozen pizzas a chef?), but too much cheese can mean the base/ingredients underneeth doeant get heated, so its melted cheese on top of a cold pizza.
Are you using a hair dryer on your frozen pizza?
what is the point of putting melted cheese on cold pizza? this seems like an inefficient way to run a business
