Re: Where my fellow cooks at???
I made a pot of chili last night.. cooked it for about a half hour, then refrigerated. Put it on low on the crock pot this morning at 7:30. Is 11 hours too long for chili on low? It's the next time someone will be home.

Re: Where my fellow cooks at???
One of the things they use to glue them together is an enzyme called transglutaminase.... which I have in my freezer. It's a fun tool to use in a creative way; for example, you can pulverize an animal protein (like, say, shrimp), dust it with 'meat glue', then extrude it through a syringe directly into hot water to make noodles. Or you can glue two chicken breasts together, wrap with reserved chicken skin, then batten the whole bit down in plastic wrap to make a really great roulade or torchon. Or perhaps use it to take two skirt steaks and put them together skinny-to-thick so you have a product of more uniform thickness. But a lot of commercial meat producers use transglutaminase to combine different cuts of an animal together to make fake steaks that are sold at real steak prices. That's not really a problem so long as the product is accurately labeled, but it usually isn't.count2infinity wrote:So essentially your turkey or ham lunch meats are separate pieces, cooked and then glued together to form that nice round/oval shape. Where as salami, bologna, and the like are "processed" meats similar to the gyro meat I made.

I think even lunch meats labeled "Organic" can still use transglutaminase as long as it comes from organic sources, so you might still have meat glue in your cold cuts, shmenguin.

On a similar subject, I recently saw footage of Chicken Nuggets being made in the factory.
Appetizing....

For times when you want a chicken nugget but you want to know what the hell you're actually eating. These things taste identical to regular chicken nuggets.
They also have chickenless patties.

it would be in the ingredient list (as "natural flavors" most likely). the only stuff in the meat we buy is turkey (or ham or roast beef), salt, and maybe celery salt.count2infinity wrote:I think even lunch meats labeled "Organic" can still use transglutaminase as long as it comes from organic sources, so you might still have meat glue in your cold cuts, shmenguin.

these have "NATURAL FLAVORS"...which is either MSG or I guess the goop tif was just describing. the 365 brand is usually pretty good with their ingredients, but they do use additives pretty often.Crankshaft wrote:http://www.wholefoodsmarket.com/product ... ss-nuggets" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;columbia wrote:On a similar subject, I recently saw footage of Chicken Nuggets being made in the factory.

Food will start to grow bacteria when left out for more than 4 hours between the temperatures of 40F-140F. I have no idea what the low setting on your crockpot is, hopefully it exceeds 140F so you can put it out of your mind.mac5155 wrote:I made a pot of chili last night.. cooked it for about a half hour, then refrigerated.

This website says Low is about 200F and 8-10hrs is normal. I wouldn't worry.

My dad is gonna shut it off at 5. I bribed him by telling him to take a bowl. Since my mom is out of town I'm sure he will be eating pb&j sandwiches all week anyway.

I'd give it a shot.
Can't be worse than the fish ice cream I was forced to try for work once.

Re: Where my fellow cooks at???
It's something that my wife and I started doing a few months ago. We enjoy eating most of the dishes, and I really enjoy expanding what I cook to very new things that I would have never tried to cook a couple years ago. I don't think a lot of people do it, but we like it.Letang Is The Truth wrote:Is meatless Monday a real thing?

I stopped by Whole Foods last night and saw a sign that if you bought dry aged steaks on Thursday or Friday of this week that they would throw in a lobster tail for each free.
I don't really care for lobster (or know how to cook it) but since I was going to buy steaks for Friday's dinner there anyway I think I'll give them a whirl.

the sign they had was quite small advertising that
