Chef Jacob,

rice cooker and when to add ingredients

Forum topic

Since we've recently dusted off on rice cooker, because only used it once and didn't love it, I've rediscovered how to use it. I love it, and use it many times a week. I want to make a brown rice and mushroom dish tonight. I want to get some butter in there for fat, but I wasn't quite sure how to add it. I'm going to cut the mushrooms and onions chunky. Do I need to cook them in the butter first, and then put them into the rice cooker with the rice for the full duration? Or should I add it all into the rice cooker in one go?

Fish crust, or crusts in general

Forum topic

Any things to keep in mind with ratios for crusting things? I have a nice filet of haddock in the freezer and i don't think i feel like doing fish tacos with it again. I have a bunch of different nuts, and i wanted to do a crust with it. I've tried it before just patting it into the fish, and that kind of work. Any suggestions? Fish is different because of the different binders and things you would use with it, but anything that works generally for making crusts would also be cool.

Did I mention it is FREE!

Cured Pork Belly too Salty - Suggestions?

Forum topic

I just took my cured pork belly out of the salt and cooked up some bacon to get an idea of the taste.  It was way too salty.  I was planning on making pancetta with 1/2 of the belly and bacon form the other half.  I have soaked the bacon in water to reduce the saltiness, but what should I do with the other half?  Turn it into bacon or soak that half as well and then dry before hanging in the fridge for the pancetta?

Thanks in advance,
Shaun

Sous Vide a 1/2 Chicken?

Forum topic

Hello Everyone,

Has anyone ever tried to sous vide a 1/2 chicken?  I have sous vided a chicken breast, but was curious to see if the legs and thighs would cook well with this method.  After all this is a slow cooking method, but is the temperature too low to fully cook the thighs and legs while the breast is cooked to the proper temp?  

Thoughts and suggestions?

Rolled egg yolk (Sous vide)

Forum topic

I see in the curriculum notes that you can sous vide egg yolk for 1 hour at 66c to make it malleable. 

Has anyone got a quick recipe using it or any ideas as it sounds as if it could be used to great effect.
