re: One scam you fell for

Didn't fall for it but about 5-6 years ago, a number of houses in my neighborhood had solar panels installed. Then about 2-3 years ago, most of them no longer had solar panels anymore.
re: Are servers given a written test to work at all higher end places?
Posted by BigDropper on 6/13/25 at 8:30 pm
It's not exclusive to high end places. Many corporate restaurants like Longhorns, Macaroni Grill, have multiple tests their service staff must pass before they are allowed on the floor. They test on things like menu knowledge, points of service, bar knowledge, restaurant culture and philosophy...
Of course, this is not at the same level of high end restaurants.

You don't need the molds. We made one that had a higher stuffing to rice ratio by using a #24 portion scoop of rice, rolling it flat between two layers of plastic wrap, placing a #40 portion scoop of filling in the middle, and wrapping the rice around it.
Refrigerate the arancini overnight or at least 30 minutes before breading for best results.
Good luck and remember to post pics of your triumph.

quote:Proves nothing. Doesn't specifically list "citrus fruit". You lose! Natural Flavor could be anything. Manufacturers use this term to circumvent labeling laws. Too many assumptions have to be made to assume the natural flavoring is citrus fruit derived.

What natural flavoring do you think they used to make orange flavor?

re: Using Beef Tallow Question
Posted by BigDropper on 6/12/25 at 2:47 pm
quote:I have had the opposite results. I find that tallow creates a better crust than butter due to the absence of additional substances like water, and milk solids.
I have used beef tallow for my last two cooks; I normally use butter. I have found the crust on the last two steaks has been lacking a bit.
Also, this shouldn't be too much of a factor, but those are two different cuts of steak. The ribeye is fattier which may promote a better crust than the leaner strip.
I would try using higher heat since the beef tallow has a higher smoke point than butter and see if that solves your dilemma.

quote:I thought the dish you created was fun, creative, and used innovative cooking techniques. However, I want to set the record straight, all citrus fruits contain citric acid, but not all citric acid is derived from citrus fruit. Raspberries, strawberries, tomatoes, kiwi, pineapples, carambola, potatoes, lychee... none of the aforementioned are citrus fruits.
Sorry, is orange not a citrus fruit?
Citric acid, especially at the industrial level needed to produce Kool-Aid, is created by fermenting sugar from corn, cane, or beet. I say this to suggest that your dish, as fun, creative, and innovative as it was, didn't contain citrus fruit or citrus fruit derivatives.
The troll has been fun to read, though.

The Bow Bar was where a local friend took us. Looked like a pub & felt like a pub. If you get hungry, Bertie's is a few steps out the door for fish n' chips or Oink is across the street for a roast pork sandwich.
