I want to talk about foods with the bare minimum ingredients where if you would have added more, it would have been a disservice.

Excellent choice. Great execution. No notes.

[–] Whostosay@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 week ago

GF was proud, she cooked this bad boi

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 8 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Grilled cheese.

PB&J.

Tomato soup.

[–] Whostosay@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Ooo I do got one on your PB&J too, there's just one more ingredient that can work, similar to my BLT.

You can add nanners and that is pretty good too.

You can also add avocado to mine, but they better be perfectly ripe, same with the nanners

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Fried peanut butter, jelly and 'nanner sammich 🤤

[–] Whostosay@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago

Durt nasty alternative is nanner, honey, pb

[–] Whostosay@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 week ago

One more thing to add to the list, grilled PB&j, exactly like you'd make a grilled cheese but with those instead. It may sound odd, but it's S tier dessert or midnight food

This thing looks like the best drunk food. I made myself pork slices the other night, marinated in some chili paste a nigerian friend made me... I thought I was going to suffocate cooking this thing. Could not see, could not breathe... had to open all windows, my cat even fled the scene. Anyway, it was minimalist and stupendous. Cooked just right, the juiciness👌🏼

[–] Whostosay@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Hell yeah, are you cooking these on like 6-8 on the heat scale?

You can cook most shit on 4-5 and it takes just a little longer to get going, but rarely burns/smokes and it stays more hydrated

[–] Hadriscus@jlai.lu 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

No idea... I have a gas stove & oven. Bit primitive,... but yeah I was afraid to dehydrate the meat because pork tends to do that so I went for an aggressive flame heheh. Not much strategy tbh... my high self likes to wing things

Next I want to get a big fish and smoke it

[–] Whostosay@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 week ago

Hell yeah dude, don't be be afraid to go real low heat, cover it with a pan cover or even just a ceramic plate or whatever, and add a couple tbsp of water every once in awhile to rehydrate whatever you're cooking. No smoke juicy food, not much thought required, probably the easiest thing that's elevated how I cook

[–] PenguinMage@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I love it! Honestly I'm always a fan of a quick grilled cheese too... almost no time to make and the ingredients are always on hand.

[–] Whostosay@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Hell yeah dude, you use the mayo on bread for toasting or butter?

[–] PenguinMage@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Whatever is handy, I'm not overly choosy, both work fine. It's usually a "what melty cheeses do I have in this here fridge"

Also a fan of the grain heavy breads so solid again on your blt choice there!

[–] Whostosay@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 week ago

Noice. As bad as it is, nasty kraft singles go hard on a grilled cheese. You put two of those on like a slice of havarti, it's done

[–] Corngood@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I have a kid with who prefers this sort of thing, so I often try to perfect something with the minimum ingredients.

Bread: flour, water, salt, starter Hamburger: beef, salt, charcoal grill Leek pie: flour, butter, water, leeks, gruyère, cream, salt

I recently started making fried chicken by marinating some chicken thighs in salt, sugar, vinegar brine for a day, coating it in literally just cornstarch, and frying it twice.

I will happily eat complicated food, but I think all the above are excellent and are all about quality ingredients and technique.

[–] Whostosay@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Excellent. You may be several steps above my cooking level, but I do love reading it

[–] Corngood@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 week ago

It helps to be old

[–] PenguinMage@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Singles have their place, they have an emulsifier in em to keep cheese melty when you want to make a sauce. Slapping one of those In a grilled cheese just makes a nice gooeir cheese melt.

[–] Sendpicsofsandwiches@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

That looks like a really damn good BLT!

[–] Whostosay@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 week ago

Damn I'm honored, username checks out

[–] cypherpunks@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I want to talk about foods with the bare minimum ingredients where if you would have added more, it would have been a disservice.

yet you have a 3rd piece of bread in the middle of your sandwich. curious!matt bors' "We Should Improve Society Somewhat" very intelligent (in a well, actually) "curious" guy

[–] Whostosay@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 week ago

Hahaha nice. It's only because there's 8 pieces of bacon on here and like 4-6 tomatoes, gotta keep the ratio
