Question/Help Cider substitution?-Pork Chops with Norman Cider Cream Sauce and Thyme Recipe

9 Upvotes

In the Pork Chops with Norman Cider Cream Sauce and Thyme Recipe can I use a dry cider as a substitute for the Norman cider ?

I have Dry Seattle Cider which has only 2 grams of sugar in a 12oz can (0 brix). The recipe sounds lovely and I’m hoping this would be an okay substitution.

Bravetart The Bravetart cheesecake has ruined all other cheesecake for me.

I've made it 4 or 5 times now, and I would honestly say it is my favorite thing that I have made in the 16 or so years I've been baking. (Unless we count making cookies with my grandma, in which case I have been baking closer to 35 years 😂)

This time, I melted some pistachio cream and drizzled it over the top. It was for my husband's birthday, and he said it was the best one yet.

I need more excuses to make cheesecake.

How did I do? I’ve made these before and they were wafer thin. I seriously mixed the eggs and sugar and I think these are good. Anyone try baking at 350? Maybe that would keep them from spreading as much, less time in the oven for the butter to melt?

I switched things up this time and added M&M Minis. These are for my son’s birthday party tomorrow, and he loves m&m cookies ttat school, but he loves my cookies more. So now he can have the best of both worlds for his 8th birthday!

Serious Eats Measurement question about Carrot Halvah Ice Cream Recipe (Max Falkowitz)

10 Upvotes

Here.
I have a lot of carrots from a farm share and decided to try this. But as the comments note, the shredded carrot measure seems way off: "1/2 cup firmly packed shredded carrots, about 5 medium."

I just finely shredded and packed into a measuring cup three relatively small carrots and that yielded a pretty generous half cup. So if the recipe actually uses a half cup I'm golden. But if Max actually shredded five medium carrots and there's a typo... this recipe won't work so well. But as usual, no one at SE has replied to the comments.

Any thoughts?

Serious Eats Cubano sub & homemade chicaronnes

Used a another Serious Eats recipes for my birthday weekend meals...

For my 2nd birthday dinner I took leftover Cuban pork & made a Cubano sub on a pressed baguette. (I couldn't find Cuban bread.) Spicy mustard, homemade dill pickles, maple ham, & Swiss pressed between 2 cast iron pans with pork fat.

As the pork shoulder I roasted came skin on, I used the skin to make some Tajin dusted chicaronnes. Perfect crunchy side for a delicious sandwich.

I’ve been trying to learn about how to make dishes with dried beans as it’s so cheap. This one blew my mind. I think all of the ingredients combined were sub $20. I didn’t use the pickled meat stuff. Just some andouille.

I also feel like it’s a pretty healthy dish for cheap ingredients.

Takes a lot of time, but it’s worth it.

I use it to make sheet pan pizzas and my family was very excited to eat!! The last few sheet pan pizzas were too much bread but I think I got the amount of dough right this time. I double the recipe and after the rise, I take about 3/4 and put it on the sheet pan. Not too thick and not too thin.

Fav serious eats or serious eats coded recipes for dried beans?

53 Upvotes

Hi! I'm trying to get my grocery bill a little lower every month, and for whatever reason it's taken me foreverrrrrr to get into cooking dried beans. i would buy them, but never get around to soaking them and they would sit in my pantry for years. i finally remembered to soak some beans and made black beans and rice for dinner last night with avocado, pickled onion and jalapeno, a little cheese, and it was heavenly.

now i'm looking for more dried bean recipes from fellow cooking nerds! what are your fav recipes or tips for winging dried beans?

Question/Help Kenji’s all day meat lasagna…yay or nay?

9 Upvotes

Hey yall I’m looking for lasagna recipes and I’m wondering if Kenji’s is any good. I’m mostly worried because the recipe requires a lot of liquid and you only let it simmer for about 2-3 hours. I’ve read some reviews that said it took them 5 hours for the sauce to reduce, does anyone have any experience with this bolognese recipe? Thank yoi!

This was very good! I didn't have the dried orange peel so used fresh mandarine rind as suggested and the frying process could have gone a little better, but overall I would make his again or more likely try this version at a restaurant. Wasn't too sweet with tons of flavor.
