What did you cook or eat today? (October 2025)

[Barriehie]

I'm intrigued by these and watched the little video of how they work. The results look OK and I might check them out. My cupboards are getting a bit cluttered though. :/

I've used Kenji's 'strain' method in the past that has been fairly consistent.

Maybe my screen wasn't fine enough but this was an utter fail. Totally stuck in the screen...

I've used that method but with a little tea strainer with a finer mesh. I don't use the strainer to lower into the water though.

That’s the method I use. The result:

I misread the instructions. Oh well, my current method works well enough.

I saw a pork leg on offer so decided to do a little roast. I cut some off before cooking to make some satay with later.

Yummy, saté

Pork.
I may have just decided on dinner

Free style daging ketjap tonight
(beef in sweet soy sauce, loosely based on babi (pork) ketjap)

 

[PAcanis]

Yep.
I've got the can of cream of mushroom and the packet of beefy onion soup mix.
I just need to pick up a pork loin

I have these poach cups with the holes. They work good.
But I went back to poaching eggs, in a pot of water with salt and/or vinegar. I swirl the water and dump in up to 6 eggs. Gently simmer 2 1/2 minutes. I like the yolk better than the whites, so I love that the white separates, and I get a yolk nicely coated with a small amount of white.

Perfect eggs. What's the green on the toast?

Thank you. Mashed avocado (splash lime juice, salt, and pepper) on toast with a sprinkle of Everything but the Bagel seasoning.

I just had a baloney sandwich

I went to the local store for a pork loin roast, and suddenly had a taste for some Smith's garlic baloney and Swiss cheese with mayo on white bread. So... the rest is history

Another perfect poached egg.

Sauce is still a bit thin, but too hungry to wait
The orange stuff is pickled carrot
