Question from the novice

Forum topic

Sometimes you will create a dish - say chicken, that has the white chicken stock as a base and then other ingredients added in.  

If you leave the remenants in say the dish that you cook it in, remove the meat, and if you don't wash that dish immediately over night I have notice that a kind of jelly forms.   I am interested to hear whether you can refrigerate that jelly and use it as a base for something else?

Understanding the F-STEP Formula, Primary Vs Secondary Flavors, & How to balance the 4 Major Flavors

The first step to becoming a truly proficient cook that can stop following recipes and start creating, is to understand flavor structure. Flavor structure is the foundation upon which a recipe, dish, or menu is built. Without a basic understanding of how to balance flavors, no amount of fancy technique will be able to save a dish.

Stock vs Broth

Forum topic

Hi guys

I was wondering if anyone could tell me the official difference between stocks and broths. I have watched videos and read articles on the subject but I keep hearing different answers suck as stock is for bones only or a stock is when you roast the bones first before simmering but a broth you go straight to simmering or a stock becomes a broth when you start adding secondary components. Which one it the correct answer?

Cuisine generally - good, bad and indifferent

Forum topic

I sent a member a private message because it was too lengthy to post in the main forum, but then, that set train in motion, on another tangent and possibly one which is worthy of thought and discussion.   

I would be interested to read how your "passion" in cooking was born.   Was it because you have childhood memories of helping your parents in the kitchen - or was it a place that you ate, that you thought, I could do that, just as well or better?  Was it because someone complimented on your food?  

Food safety - defrosted chicken stock

Forum topic

I have a large container of chicken stock that I am defrosting for tonight's dinner.  However I doubt that I will need to use it all.   Can I heat up to boiling point and then put it into the ice bath and refreeze - or do I need to either use it or toss it once defrosted?  

 

Look forward to hearing from you as I despise wastage.  

 

Many thanks in advance,

Robyn

Re: Substitution for White Vinegar

Forum topic

Good morning,

 

I watched Chef Jacob's video on making seasoned wedged pototes.

I have a couple of questions, as I have some pototes that are waiting to be used!   

1.  Can I use malt vinegar or balsamic vinegar in substitution of white vinegar since my bottle has run dry!  

2.  If you don't freeze the chips, do they still taste as good as what you say they do?   I was thinking I might make them and then fry them off to eat - but it occurs to me that maybe I should make them, then freeze them and eat them another day.
