• I’ve added a casual chat room to CookingBites as a place for off-topic banter, light conversation, and short-lived chit-chat that doesn’t belong in forum threads. The chat room is informal and lightly-to-not moderated, with messages being temporary, so it’s ideal for friendly back-and-forth that would otherwise derail discussions. Site rules still apply, but there’s no reporting system or expectation of post-by-post moderation - if something becomes uncomfortable, the right response is to step away. If a topic has substance or lasting value, it still belongs in the forums; everything else can head to chat.

Cooking Hominy from Dried

Interesting post.

I don't use wood ashes, I use saltbrush plant ashes, so don't know if there there's a difference between using one or the other.

Heat also has an effect on the process.

What's also interesting is that the skins stayed on the kernels in this person's post. The way it's done here - 1 cup per gallon/4L water per 8c/3.2lb/1.5kg corn and simmered with the corn - the skins slough off and dissolve after 2-3 hours.
Not sure I'd want to keep and eat the cellulose skins.

I could post some phots. I photograph food/cultivation/prep/cooking
Yes please!
