I don’t know too much about beans in general, but imo, it is more of an “add on” to dishes.
Pinto beans can be used in:
Chilli
with ham hocks, collard green ( i think)
i think pinto beans is one of three beans in “three bean salad”
I remember trying “chuck wagon stew”. A frined cooked that for me. Don’t know if she used pinto beans for that.
I need a good recipe for Chicken fried rice.
Need it to taste like the azn do at the Chinese place on the corner.
what no azn ppl post here?
the fried rice recipe on the front page aint gonna cut it.
buy a commercial wok burner and a good wok
how to make ceviche coming soon.

And buy your rice from the American store. For some reason the rice there always cook drier.
here’s how they do it in a restaurant
Thanks. Gonna try this for dinner tomorrow.:rock:
I never knew srk was full of culinary people. I’m almost graduating from my culinary school orlando culinary academy, lecordon bleu. So I’ll post up a huge slew of recepies in due time. They gave me alot of books and sheets for our daily production. We made some banging ass dishes.
Hey guys, need some advice.
I bought some lean ground beef today, but I’m not sure if it’s safe to eat. The best before date is June 1, and much of the meat was already brown. I’m pretty sure if the meat is completely brown, it’s no good. I know freezing the meat will slow down the rotting process, but should I just chuck the meat in the garbage, or use it ASAP?
Best recipie ever for Raw Chocolate
honey
raw coconut oil
coco powder
mix do not melt put in fridge mmmmmmmmm
Just made some grilled cheese sandwiches with the George Foreman grill. :bgrin: Man, I love that invention.
fuck yeah… I love some grilled cheese on the foreman…
Yeah it’s useful as hell, although I still prefer making grilled cheese on a pan because it tastes so much better imo.
how I missed this thread up until now is beyond me, but as a single guy who’s trying to break his fast-food addiction, this thread could be my life-saver.

What is a good multi purpose knife? I am starting my cooking journey, and need to basically cut all types of fruit, veggies, and proabaly meat. What should I look for? I’m a total n00b at this thanks. =)
You can buy one of those set knife racks, but the top three cooking knifes I use are:
Chef’s knife
Butcher ( meat cleaver) knife.
Boning Knife
Most of the time, my multipurpose knife: the chef’s knife - dice, cube, slice, chop.
Dice and cube beef for beef pot pie - chef’s knife
slice and chop vegetables - chef’s knife
you can even julienne and mince cuts with the chef’s knife.
Just make sure to keep your knife sharp. A dull blade is a dangerous blade to work with
Thanks! So is there a certain brand I should look for? Or even better, a website with good deals/good brands? Thanks a lot!
I’m not a hardcore foodie so I don’t know name brands. But, I just went to “bed, bath, and beyond” and "lennin and things"over the weekend saw some decent selections. bought a new butcher knife and some silicone cookware
I’m still using my cheap Wal-Mart chef’s and Boning knife set I bought a year ago. Still in good shape.
Look for a heavy blade make sure the handle has at least 2 rivets. Stay away from hollow plastic handles.
not sure about cheap knives, but be careful with them… cheap knives are probably more dull to begin with and made of shitty steel making them become dull faster… and a dull knife is more dangerous than a sharp knife.
I worked a kitchen store but we only carried handful of brands. Shun makes awesome steel knives. tried them out and they were really sharp(plus Alton Brown endorses them). Wustof and henkel are two well known brands too, they’re made in germany I believe
Kyocera make these really cool ceramic knives which are lighter and sharper than steel and can hold the edge longer because of their hardness, but they are supposedly prone to cracking if you drop them(though I have seen a demo with a guy dropping it and nothing happened). they can only be sharpened by Kyocera because it is so hard, and they have a diamond wheel to sharpen it. They do it free, you just pay shipping and handling…
umm…and yeah… a chef’s knife is a good all around knife… I preferred the steel knives but it’s all preference
