can i use really thin potato slices instead of peanuts?
raw peanuts = monkey nuts
your info on the horse meat scandal is a bit out of date, the source of the horse meat is now thought to be eastern europe, the Irish plant was processing only it (as were French, Endlish,Czech and other plants).
NY pie looks good Scott, must try that big slice idea again, i've veered over to Neopolitan for the last while
ki Kenji,was that an anomoly in your graph that the two day had lost more moisture that the one day steak or just a typo?
if you freeze in individual plastic bags you can tie them and put them in warm water to speed up the defrosting when they come out

O'Hares international terminal sucks, made the mistake of walking past the decent stuff in the other terminals from a connecting flight, think it's McD's, hotdogs or deepdish pies
Any chance Serious Eats could put metric measurements beside the imperial ones on your recipes?
Hi Kenji, would you use this batter for fish tacos or switch out the beer for water/vodka?
We ordered two of 16inch pies between two of us at Apizza Scholls and got down to the last two slices, in our defense we had 4 topping combos, had a serious stomach ache after it but was worth it!
Did you not do one of these before? or was that just ask Kenji?
Probably stepping in DBCurries realm but a foodlab on the best hamburger bun and accurate measurements on how to keep them soft (milk vs butter, oil, lard, egg/no egg etc)
Good stuff Andris, keep us posted
@andris any updates on getting this to europe (distributor/cheaper shipping)?
I prefer the desert version of these, dough balls from pizza dough, powdered sugar sifted over them and dipped in warmed nutella!
Brings this to mind..

Congrats Adam. A lot of pressure on you to choose the right spot for her first slice, Cognition theory and all that, you have a few years to think about it though!
you were eating sloppy spagetti pizza when you could have been at TXCraig's....hmmm
@radish, would radish powder work ???
@AndrisLagsdin
any thought on a european distributor down the line to maybe reduce the shipping costs?
Hi DB, have you tried adding potatoe flakes to corn (masa harina) tortillas?
Any benefits to using potato flakes over actual mashed potato apart from convenience (and no water content making it easier to be consistent)?
@ Dan you need to check out Monster Munch(spicy something flavour), Burger Bites(burger flavour), Meanies(pickled onion), Chickatees (chicken) and Banshee Bones(pickled onion). They are puffed corn/wheat/potato shaped snacks that fall into the crisp category over here too, they usually have the flavour ramped up compared to the potato crisps
Would like to see this. I play several sports and am pretty active. Two of the key things are prep time (generally quick)and if it travels well, most athletes eat several small meals during the day so often bring something precooked and reheat

Hi All,
I've found high protein flour (>11%) hard to come by but recently came across the (to me exremely weird) process of making Seitan (popular Vegan/Asian vital wheat gluten food), which involves washing the starch out of flour to be left with pretty much only a blob of gluten.
Being a devout meatatarian i hadn't come across Seitan before and i was wondering if it could be used in Pizza making to up the protein level in the dough receipe?
Anyone tried it or would whey powder or something like that be an easier solution?
Anyone see Bobby's cameo on Entourage?

Hey folks,
I'm getting married next week in Tuscany, should be in for some good food there, but i'm looking for some suggestions for our honeymoon.
We're hitting Vegas (3 nights), Kauai (1 week), Oahu(1 week) and San Francisco (2 nights) and we have a lovely 4 hour stopover in Newark airport.
We're both pizza, bbq and donut fans but not big into fish(yeah i know we're going to an island!).
I'm hoping to get to UPN in San Fran and the malasadas lady on Kauai (http://www.yelp.com/biz/kauai-malasadas-lihue) but haven't really really tied down anywhere else.
We've both been dieting/starving ourselves for the last 6 months and I'm down to 160lb so i'm really HUNGRY, anyone got any suggestions?
Sorry, wanted to try this for a while, with a few people complaining lately about the standard of talk topics falling, what gets your attention to click on a talk topic?
My pizza stone can hold a 12 inch pie but not much more, so my slices are are usually 6 inches long but i prefer the cheese to crust ratio you get on a larger slice also the foldability..
Has anyone experimented with non round shapes to produce larger slices? I'm thinking the sort of shape you get from 4 interlocking slices (you'd have a crust at each end you have to cut off and have a B shape on eiter side...)
maybe i'm losing it....
I'm sure many of you have made homemade pasta with pasta roller machines or a rolling pin but have any of you made pasta shapes or spagetti with a pasta extruder at home?
I love spagetti but never liked the squarish shape it comes out of my roller attachment
I've looked online and unless you spend big bucks on a massive bronze/steel die machine there doesn't seem to be many options, has anyone found a reasonably priced one worth buying?
This subject may have come up before...
I lived in New York for a while and the price of produce there meant that eating out or cooking in cost about the same, also the great choice of restaurants meant that you could mix it up without having to travel too far, so i ate out a good bit while i lived there.
Since returning to Ireland though i've found i don't eat out too much any more, I like to cook (and my other half likes my cooking!) plus restaurant prices here are much higher than what it would cost to make at home.
Also i've started to find restaurants a bit stuffy, i like to eat in a more relaxed environment, you can't unbuckle your belt at the table in a restaurant....at least without getting dirty looks.
So going out for dinner is nice for special occasions but i much prefer to eat in, am I alone/weird/antisocial in this?
Anyone watching the new series of Masterchef on BBC? What do you make of the new format?
I think the audition rounds are a bit X-factor but looking forward to the next episodes in the new kitchen
Hi All,
I've seen recipes for every other parts of a pie on here but none for sausage and i here most good pizza joint make their own, anyone got any sausage recipes?
Is it generally different from the breakfast sausages?
I live in Ireland and sausages here are a good bit different to the ones in the US, they are usually pork (should be >80% but some times not) and breadcrumbs with some flavourings, they are fattier, usually fried or grilled and always served in what you would call links (no patties).
Not sure they would work on Pizza as they can be a bit greasy and aren't a flavourfull as the sausage you get on pizza in the US
Hi All,
I'm new to this site but love it straight away.
I'm planning on flying into NY around halloween and doing a road trip to Chicago via Kentucky.
It'll probably be 3 days in NY and 10days on the road.
Obviously food could dictate some of the route. Can you guys recommend the places i should visit and where to eat and the places that i shouldn't miss?
cheers

New York has long been regarded as a, if not the, pizza Mecca. But these days, many of our city's most highly publicized pizzerias share increasingly less with the slice joints and classic pie shops that engendered that reputation in the first place. Whether you're a native New Yorker or a first-time visitor, here are 12 old-school pizzerias you should definitely know. More

Back when I was a wee food labber who spent his summers at band camp,* my favorite day of the summer was when the camp's cook, Glen, would make his pesto. We'd have a camp-wide pesto spaghetti eating contest, in which I may have been the only competitor. This simultaneously made me a winner and a complete loser each time. What can I say? I loved my pesto back then as much as I love it now. Today, we're gonna stick it on pizza. But first, a few words to the wise. More

Welcome to our brand new pizza index! Over the years, our staff and readers have worked to build a treasure trove of pizza recipes and techniques, ranging from regional classics to home kitchen adaptations and twists. Have we covered it all? Absolutely not—that would take all the fun out it! One of pizza's greatest qualities, at least in our humble opinion, is how difficult it is to pin down or define. Ideally, this list will continue to grow and evolve indefinitely. In the meantime, we've done our best to organize our existing pizza resources to make things a little easier for all the home cooks and aspiring pizzaoli out there. Have at it, Slice'rs! More
If you're done much research in the realm of barbecue, you may have come across a spice mixture, credited to the great barbecue pitmaster Mike Mills, known as "magic dust." It is a marvelous, intoxicating mix of spices that can be used as a dry rub not only on a rack of ribs for smoking, but just about any cut of meat (or even sprinkled over vegetables), making it a handy mix to have around at all times. I always make up a big batch and use it regularly, which is how I found myself with a gorgeous, marbled, thick-cut pork chop and the inspiration for an easy way to dress it up. More

The Chinese technique of velveting meat is an oft-used yet underappreciated one. It refers to the coating of meat pieces in cornstarch, egg whites, wine, and other seasonings such as garlic and soy sauce, to make it more tender. Learning how to velvet meat is as integral to Chinese cooking as say, browning meat is for the French or Italian. More

Summers are made for the grill, but what's a steak lover to do when the weather's too cold and wet to light the suckers up? Just cook them indoors. Indeed, pan-seared steaks have several distinct advantages over grilled steaks—enough that there are times when given the two choices, I'll choose pan-seared just for the sake of it. While grilling will get you a rapid-fire crust on your steak with all those delightfully crisp, on-the-verge-of-burnt bits and a good smoky flavor, I find that the even golden brown crust you can develop in a hot cast-iron pan really accentuates the flavor of the beef itself, letting it shine. On top of that, pan-searing affords you the opportunity to add your own flavorings in the form of aromatics. Pan-seared steaks come out about 4 percent moister to boot.
Here's the best way to do it.
