If you must make actual hollandaise, restaurants use a glass bowl over boiling water, not metal bowls.

Here’s a trick: Cooking hollandaise is for restaurants and the prim.

Yeah. If you cannot get below 200, your ribs are not going to work.

Yep. 225 on a smoker would be way too high. You need to do like 185 for 18 hours.

Get fresh. It’s impossible to properly sear frozen scallops because they release too much liquid.

That’s...not a french omelette.

Russets are fine for mashed potatoes, they’re just not the ideal (too starchy). Red bliss make a very different style of potatoes.

It’s entirely possible you are making the home cook’s number one mistake: Not using an unbelievable amount of butter and salt. If you think you’ve added enough salt and butter, you’re probably less than halfway there.

Here’s Bruneko’s Foodspin article on mashed cauliflower (RIP Deadspin). I have made this successfully a number of times.

YEP! I bought a rice steamer because I could never get traditional rice right. Before I bought the steamer I would just cook regular white rice pasta style. Oddly, I CAN cook risotto and pilaf properly.

How are you frying them?  Dutch oven on the stove?  If you buy a cheapo Fry Daddy or something similar, you can cook in temperature controlled grease (350 - 375 for just about anything fried).

Marnie - If you have a cuisinart ice cream maker and cannot make ice cream properly, I have questions. Because it’s so damn simple. Are you not freezing the collar? Are you not putting the ice cream in the freezer after it’s spun? Because those are the only two possible ways to screw up.

It is really a question of taxonomy. How you define a sandwich depends a lot on context. If I say, “I would like a sandwich” and someone brings me a hot dog or hamburger, I’d be very confused. Hell, in that situation, even a sub or wrap or something would be weird.

I genuinely hope this dipshit and his “BF” got hit by a bus immediately after writing this.

How is it that so many people missed this simple fact:  THIS WAS THE FOOD FOR THE PRESS POOL, NOT FOR TRUMP.  Trump doesn’t eat any of this stuff.  He got his normal meal of beige finger food or hamburgers or leathery steak.  

I approved this comment simply because it is the only that acknowledged that crab rangoon is absolutely fucking disgusting.

Did you just ignore the entire parameters of this draft??

Yeah, I’m not anti-chocolate, but I strongly preferred fruit flavored candy as a kid.

Never, ever heard of that brand.

Herdez are in every grocery store in Atlanta, if that helps.  That used to be my go to (I still buy their salsa verde), but if you have Kroger, try their store brand (PS) red jalapeno, it’s much better than the Herdez rojo.
