Can You Cook?

[koolmike]

Found out there are some amateur chef's on the board tonight from the few moments I spent in the chatroom before. Was wondering who likes to cook out there and if so what's your best dish?

I consider myself a pretty good cook being that I'm single and have been preparing my own meals for years. My best dish: Shrimp Fra Diavolo over linguini.

Just throw some medium sized shrimps in a pan with extra virgin olive oil, minced garlic, butter and basill...fry it up and then add the heat...crushed red pepper or hot sauce. That's it. Quick and delicious.

You?

i can make some killer ghetto dishes. loose meats are my specialty.

brown hamburger, add a can of tomato soup and 4 or 5 slices of processed cheese stuff. cook it til the cheese is melty. serve on bread or hamburger buns (or hot dog buns for a real ghetto flair). and eat. my kids love it

[koolmike]

Sounds like a sloppy Joe.

i can cook, and im damn good at it too :D
ive been cooking meals and what not for my fam since i was like 7ish..lol
alot of my freinds and family say i should go to school for culinary arts, i just happen to go to one of the best culinary arts schools in MI to, :hmmm: go figure..

My fried potatoes :drooling:

ive come up with my own sauce too, it fuckin goes good with pretty much all meats/poultry..
i

[K.I.N.G]

I can throw some shit together if need be..

[Luris Blear]

I made a kickass pizza this weekend. Three of them. Then used the rest of the homemade dough to make cheese sticks. By far my best recipe.

I can also put together an alright eggplant parmesan, a really good sausage gravy to pour over canned biscuits (pizza crust: yes. biscuits: no), general breakfast foods, stir fry..

I cook just to keep things fun in life and have different things. Except the pizza, which only my parents might make better than I do. Maybe.

[satanocat]

Sounds like a sloppy Joe.

pretty much, just with out the can of sloppy joe sauce. my mom taught me it. people around here dont know what to call it cause their idea of a loose meat is crumbled hamburger saturated in grease and chicken broth, stuff just rolls off the bun.

I heard the key to making really good fried potatoes is chilling them in ice water right before frying them.

[Dr. Awesome]

No I suck at it. I don't have the patience for it. Besides that's what women are for....:lookarnd:.....j/k :D

[satanocat]

one time i made a kick ass baked chicken parmesean, but it was by complete accident and i have never been able to recreate it. but i can make a damn good pop tart

[deathslasher666]

Not the greatest, but I can throw together some random ingrediants, and make a nice dinner for myself and others. Think my favorite dish to make is stir-fried noodles one top of some fried rice. So good :nod:

[Gatsu18]

I can't cook AT ALL. I have tried and gotten sick on a more than one occasion. Granted the food I make usually tastes pretty damn good. But I never cook it right or generally all the way through which is a bad bad thing. I have spent many long nights by the toilet due to my poor cooking abilities.

[darkoverlord]

I try to cook i mostly just use the microwave for my frozen foods and Stove for my spaghetti or lasagna with extra pasta sause:drooling:

[Chief Falling Rock]

I can't cook but I wish I could. Easiest way to a womans heart is through the kitchen.

[Misfit]

nope

[koolmike]

I can't cook but I wish I could. Easiest way to a womans heart is through the kitchen.


Everytime I cooked for a lady, she was "appreciative." :D

[Misfit]

:D

[Miss.Jasmine]

i am a fantastic cook, mmmmhmmm!

[Get Some]

no wayyyy

[woodenheart]

hell no......frozen pizza..frozen pizza..frozen pizza :celebrate: wonderful invention.

[WarBeast]

I'm a righteous cook... pasta's, sauces, pizzas, casseroles (my Tatertot Casserole is fuckin legendary), stir-fries, and of course RIBS!!!

My wife says the only thing wrong with my cooking is that I can make a salad unhealthy... she says it's like can just look at a bunch of ingredients and they instantly become unhealthy....

... I consider it a talent...

[steelba]

I can't cook but I wish I could. Easiest way to a womans heart is through the kitchen.
You mean you're bankroll.

[steelba]

I am a really good cook, I can cook just about everything I can get my hands on.
Best dish I make is Gumbo.

Others I like to make are: Chicken Katsu, stir fry, lasagna, butterflied shrimp, beer battered shrimp, clams with garlic butter sauce, sauteed sandwiches, potato salad, fried fish, southern fried chicken, chicken bacon ranch wrap, taco's with fresh pico de gallo, Prime Rib, and deep fried mushrooms :D

[Joker]

I love to cook chili,pressure cooked ribs,lasagna,bacon potato soup,beer battered fish and brats boiled in beer then grilled are a few of my specialties.

I usually only cook during the winter months though,in the summer I like my food fast.

[Driden]

Somewhat. I can make Enchiladas, Tamales, Chile Rellenos, Lasagne, Manicotti, Chicken Parmigiana, Spanish Wraps, fish tacos, fajitas, lumpia etc pretty much any simple meal.

I'm deadly at baking though, I can make awesome ass cookies, cakes, and brownies. creme brulee, pie, an couple other things.

My mom forced all of us to learn how to cook so we wouldn't have to depend on a woman or eat junk food.

[txjeff07]

I can throw together a couple things in the kitchen. The majority of my cooking is firing up the grill in the summer which I do pretty often, love being out in the summer:2brews:

I make some killer deep fried mushrooms.. if anything will give me a heart-attack its those things. :D

Other than that.. I make my own pizza burgers. Just mold up some ground beef in a pan, cook it.. put pizza sauce on it then sprinkle mozzarella cheese over it.. you can also put seasoning on it if you prefer. I use garlic powder.

[SonOfSavini]

After about a year of cooking due to my wife going to school, I've gotten pretty good at it. Probably my "fancy" dish would be Chicken Castellina which is rigatoni pasta coated in a awesome sauce made from melted smoked gouda, white wine, percuitto, artichoke hearts, cream, scallions, mushrooms, and breaded chicken pieces. Also love to make Guinness stew. My ghetto dish is my bacon cheeseburger mac and cheese. Made with Velveta shells and cheese mixed with ground hamburger, onions, bacon bits, mushrooms, tomatoes and a touch of mustard...oh baby.

[Joker]

pressure cooked ribs? BLASPHEMY!!!!

Not at all,pressure cook em then grill or broil em.....melt in your mouth tender.

[satanocat]

i guess i can make a mean chilli. makes you sweat when you eat it. grown men have fallen to their knees and wept when the have walked into my house and found that i have made my chilli. funny thing is that when i amke chilli i usually am just cleaning out my cabinets.
and my cheesy hashbrowns have caused fist fights at family gatherings.

[JeNnYFuR]

I'm a damn fine cook....I can't name just one particular recipe that I have up my sleeve, but I make a great apple-glazed pork, a kick-ass lasagna, rich and creamy beef stroganoff, as well as assorted italian and mexican-inspired creations.

One of my favorites is pan-seared chicken with a chunky sauce of tomatoes, onions, garlic, mushrooms, and green olives served over a bed of buttery, garlicky pasta. Sometimes I add fresh summer squash or zucchini to it for a change.

[deathslasher666]

I'm hungry now :drooling:

[xxsic4slipknotxx]

I can whip myself up some huge and tasty omeletes, filled with any type of condiment with only one fold. I can also make certain dishes like any type of roast, vodka rigatoni, pizzas (including the dough), homemade mac and cheese (not store bought or boxed brands), etc.

I can also make many different kinds of cookies during the holidays. That's when I really shine. :thumbup:

[Freddy316]

Depends. Does throwing a TV dinner in the microwave count as cooking? :ahheh:

[Lady Massacre]

I can cook, nothing fancy. But generally I go for the boxed stuff.

When you're on a diet, like weight watchers, it's just easier to take the box to work, microwave it, and grub. When i do cook it's usually weight watcher recipes. Lucky for me my skinny husband likes the food too lol :whew:

[Revenant]

I wish, wouldn't mind learning how.

[WarBeast]

Pressure-cooking ribs is a shortcut that serves to boils the flavor out of the meat... and is just a sad waste of a slab of heaven...

I'll put my worst slab of slow-smoked fall-of-the-bone ribs up against ANYONE's best slab of pressure cooked ribs and I'll utterly destroy the opposition... no brag... just fact... :nod:

[Cataclysm]

The battle lines have been drawn...

[ZION]

Im Mexican so you know WE know how to cook, grill, fry etc...but my specialty is actually a dessert. I make the best Banana Pudding, I make it every Holiday cause my family wont let me come over unless I bring it and other people have actually told me I should enter it in somekind of contest.

Doubt it,but thats fine.I have slow cooked many times,still do,will always prefer them softened up first especially large beef ribs.

Anyways,how do you cook yours?Oven,Grill,smoke em?And with what kind of a heat source?

:lol:

I've been successful with ribs by boiling them 1st, then grilling them. Always come out perfect.

[WarBeast]

I rub them down and marinate them overnight, this begins the tenderizing process, then slow smoke them four 6-12 hours, depending on the ribs, over low low heat from smoldering hickory wood chips... guarantee, once the ribs are done, they are as tender as anything done in a pressure-cooker. It's all a matter of patience, low-heat and technique.

Pressure cooking boils the rubs and marinade, not to mention the a vast majority of the flavor of the meat itself, right out of the rib.

If a person went to a barbeque competition with pressure cooked ribs, they'd either get laughed straight back to their car or possibly skinned alive...

I'm sure your ribs are as good as boiled meat covered in sauce can be, but they wouldn't stand up to properly cooked slow-smoked ribs...

[Joker]

I like using hickory as well,mainly because of the abundance of it around me.I dont get to smoke meat as much as I used to,my brother has a walk in so I do use that for ducks,tilapia or trout,but thats about it.

Dammit WarBeast, I want an entire rack of your ribs and I want them now!

[koolmike]

I recently learned how to make beef stew. :misfit:

A little too thick, but very edible.

[Luris Blear]

Last time I made beef stew I learned a very valuable lesson.

I have heard it said "never cook with a wine you wouldn't drink."

It should also be said "never cook with a beer you would drink." Good beer overpowers all of the other flavors.

Next time I want to drop a little beer in the stew, I'm getting some of the bottled horse piss that you see advertised during football games.

[koolmike]

I didn't use wine or beer.

[Necromancer]

I can cook if I have the inclination to. I really don't have any recipes of my own , but I do tend to go mainly with the asian marinated meats especially for the cook-out season

[Luris Blear]

Sometimes a little beer can pay off in something like stew or chili. But only a little.

My dad used to make an excellent spaghetti sauce with vodka in it. Never told anyone what his secret was. Just smirked when we said we liked his better than anyone else's.

[koolmike]

I eat Vodka sause all the time LB.

I like to marinate meat in dark beer.

[toxicangel19]

i made my famous shrimp linguini today i substituted cayenne pepper for red pepper flakes i put more than i would the other...gave it very nice kick i was looking for.

[Agamum]

There are a few things I have learned to make over the years. Though I don't think anyone in there right mind would call me a chef. Then again the theme of the site you wouldn't think would attract sanity.

the only kinds of mushrooms i fuck with are the Psilocybin kinds :D

I love beef stew. My mum makes one she calls it scouse. She comes form Liverpool and this is a local dish to them. Aint nothing fancy but it tastes great. Especially in the winter.

[koolmike]

Nice to sit behind a nice hot bowl of stew on a cold winter's night.

[whereistheMrPibb]

yeah, i think im pretty good. im in school for culinary right now. i dont think i have a best dish though. well, im sure i do but i dont know what it is. im sure going through my journey with school ill figure out what it is.

[koolmike]

Can you make Baked Alaska?

I love that desert.

[False Blood]

I like to get recipes from co-workers. All we do at work is talk about food, we're all women at my job.

One recipe that went well at home was shepard's pie. I love it because it's super simple.

Shepard's pie is made of four layers: seasoned ground meat, mashed potatoes with cheese, green beans, and corn.

[koolmike]

I hate SP. The Irish people who live by me eat it all the time and like to give me some now and then...yuk.

[False Blood]

My boyfriend liked it a lot, he'd never had it before.

It's not something that's good everyday though, it's a once-a-year kind of meal :nod:

[toxicangel19]

Id have to say my shrimp linguini is my favorite dish...but every digs my chicken quesadillas and my pinapple glazed ham the most.

[xxsic4slipknotxx]

I made burgers the other day, mixing salsa into the meat. They turned out to be really good.

[koolmike]

My boyfriend liked it a lot, he'd never had it before.

It's a very heavy and hearty meal. I feel the same way after eating SP as I do after Thanksgiving Day Turkey.

[Luris Blear]

I like a well made shepherd's pie. Hard to find them, though.

Made a vicious pot of chili this weekend. And I do mean vicious. It was my first time working with a can of chipotle peppers, and I used about twice as many as was useful.

It was otherwise a decent, meaty chili instead of the more northern tomato stew variety.
