Absurdly, stupidly basic cooking questions (Part 2)

Two pounds is A LOT of meatloaf. One lb is fine for two people with enough left for a sandwich or two -

Panade is critical for texture. I use breadcrumbs + milk + an egg. Mixed together and let sit for 5 minutes. 1 cup of the gemish per pound of meat. Couple tbsp worcestershire added to panade,,,often soy. Garlic powder too. Hand mix the meat with the panade goop aggressively. It should look homogenious. If your hands can't do it then I think a potato masher would do it. I've never used a processor/mixer for this but I bet it would do fine so long as you don't make it too finely ground. I often add ground pork to the beef...or breakfast sausage, I free form a stout loaf and put it in the BSO at 375 for 50 minutes. Let rest for 15 minutes. There are a million variations. I often add andouille diced. Finally taste the uncooked meat for seasoning -

Restaurant Power Outage Short Term Solutions - Discussion-Advice-Experiences
gfweb replied to a topic in Restaurant Life
If you were in my area this would be a several times a year occurrence. The easy answer is to have a stand-by propane generator. Guessing that would be about 5K + fuel. Pull-start gas generators need occasional attention so they will start when you need them....but are much cheaper. What's the dollar value of the lost food and lost business? We had a gas-powered generac inverter that IIRC cost ~$500 that can power three fridges and a freezer as well as some lights. You'd have to run cords to each appliance. -

Amazing place. How does Jungle Jim's rotate the products enough to keep it fresh? There can't be a lot of turnover on some of that stuff. -
WaPo has a nice piece on an impending Smithsonian display and documentary. https://www.washingtonpost.com/food/2024/05/12/marcella-hazan-smithsonian-documentary/

How hot does it keep it? -
Whatever you mash it with...don't frigging burn it. 😀

Reads like a BS article designed to provoke responses. As far as liking chicken...its a vehicle for sauces or fried coatings. Naked chicken is unremarkable.

Serious climate- and health-related concerns about gas stoves

Gas is in their crosshairs. @paulraphael rightly points out that any cooking makes pollutants. -

That's the thing. I've been to HI about 40 times for business. Its a long day getting there and the airlines fly some decrepit planes on that route. You seem to fly in First. The front of the plane to HI is nothing special and not cheap. Paris is closer by half a day.
