      Context: I love trying foods from different cultures around the world, and I find learning to cook various foods that I enjoy helps me connect. We all have to eat, and everyone around the world has grown up with a specific idea of what food is. Fortunately, I live in an area with a very diverse community, and work with people from all over the world who seem to like sharing recipes with me. I try to cook things with what would be native to that region when I cook something the first time. When attempting to replace things later with items that I can get locally, sometimes it just is not the same at all. So I have to stockpile some stuff for what I make regularly.
      The exception to this is the oil and pasta and most of that is due to what side of my family taught me how to cook. I have an oil for deep frying, and an oil for light frying. Aside from that, three olive oils. One for general use, one for salad dressing, and one for adding on top of things after they've cooked because it is infused with Myer lemon. And pasta... They all have their uses, and it would take too long to explain. Watch pastagrammar's video on why Italians don't eat spaghetti and meatballs for an explanation. ua-cam.com/video/DTqvM1h7WhI/v-deo.html Fortunately, I'm Italian-American, which gives me the option to ignore any rule I want to! muhahahaha! Ok, I really can't ignore any I learned from my family, as much as I attempt to do so.

    • @falsenames
      @falsenames 2 роки тому +2

      I switched to the steaming camp very quickly after trying it once about 5-6 years ago, and I haven't looked back since. Uses very little water, which means that your water boils in very little time. You just need about half an inch (1cm) of water. Place the eggs in in a steamer basket and put them into the pot after it starts boiling. Pull them out a few minutes later based on how well done you want them, and put in an ice bath to cool off. Fast way to cook eggs that are really easy to peel.
      I personally think that putting the eggs into already boiling water and using the ice bath are the most important factors. The ice bath seems to be the more important of the two, based on my evolution, as that was the biggest jump in ease of peeling. I went from just putting the eggs in room temp water and pulling them out when they are done to: Waiting for the water to boil first, which helped a bit. Putting them in ice water after, which helped a lot. Steaming instead, which had only a minor effect on peeling, but it greatly helped in speeding up the whole process. I do not know how slowly raising the temperature and then using an ice bath would be. Something to test later, but I'm not expecting good results. I'll update if this ends up being better.

    Re: onion salt and garlic salt.
    I think these are just leftover "convenience" items from 50's & 60's cooking. At 61, I've never purchased either. Both are just outrageously overpriced table salt with a small amount of garlic or onion powder added.
    In order to gain the benefit of the onion or garlic flavor, most dishes will be horribly oversalted.
    Just buy powder - cheaper and more flavor.

    • @tinamcnalley2575
      @tinamcnalley2575 4 роки тому +1

      @@hwk9468 I have used both. For a time, I used an off brand that was granulated (and cheap!) and it definitely had a nice garlic flavor (and aroma) than the powder I was replacing at the time.
      I cook primarily with fresh onion and garlic. I use the powders as more of an "umami" type of boost. A burger gets salt, pepper and onion powder while frying or grilling. Garlic powder I add to sauces and gravies where I don't want anyone to actually notice it. It adds an extra layer of flavor but if someone says "Ah, garlic!" - I've used too much.
      Of course both are great to have on hand when dinner is already cooking - and there's no fresh stuff in the house!

    • @ThePixelcamera
      @ThePixelcamera 4 роки тому +3

      There can be a difference: Garlic salt may be garlic oil plated on salt versus garlic powder (dried juice/crushed garlic). So both taste different then fresh, even if you added salt to garlic powder. (From a food scientist that used all 3)
