Storing bean burgers

Forum topic

So last night, on a whim and with some stuff i had in the fridge, i just happened to make the best black bean adn brown rice burgers i've ever had. I plan on making them again in larger quantity and I was wondering with this sort of thing, is it better to store them uncooked frozen and then thaw and cook, or just as well to cook, cool, and just nuke to reheat? The morning star brand ones are already cooked i mean, i was just wondering more for storage if anyone had any opinions.

Large Baguette tray

Forum topic

Hi
I just registered with Stella Culinary & am quite impressed. The Basic Baguette video is excellent - one of the best I've seen & I'll be trying the techniques out shortly.
I've been baking bread bread for a while now with mostly good but sometimes poor results.
One thing I often have problems with is having the dough spread out too much when baked on a stone. Now this could be a result of my using a high hydration dough. However, this dough makes a great loaf when baked in a tin.

Uses for a sweet stock

Forum topic

First, I'm not sure whether stock is the correct word.  I pressure cooked something that was sold as yam but looks a lot like sweet potato to me.  The resulting stock (?) is sweet and flavorful and I would like to use it.  I am thinking of using it in rice for rice pudding but I would love other uses for a sweet flavorful liquid.. Any  thoughts?

What's in a Recipe?

Forum topic

I'm trying to learn about cooking and I think writing recipes can help.  Problem is, when I write a recipe, it's not obvious how much to include.  I can stop with the few hints I need to recreate a dish in a week's time, or I can try for organized, detailed instructions that would permit someone else to reproduce the dish.  It takes a lot longer to write a detailed recipe, so if I do it, I want to be sure it is actually worth the effort.

My nephew works at a movie studio and this link is to the trailer of a movie coming out in May.  He says that most of it was filmed in Venice Beach, CA.  I can't wait to see it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mLuixZwiIdU 

Harvard Science & Cooking Course

Forum topic

Hello everyone. I'm new to the site and am already learning a lot about how to be a better home cook.

I just wanted to mention that I have also been working through an edX course some of you may be interested in. It primarily deals with the chemistry behind cooking. I know Jacob has gone into some scientific details on some of his podcasts. So if you liked those and aren't afraid of some equations, the course might be of interest. It ended a few months ago, but you should still be able to just view the archived course.

What's your sourdough starters name? And how do you look after it?

Forum topic

Hey everybody. I would like to welcome "Bubbles" (no trailer park boys reference) to the family. He came to be about 1 month ago, and is now living a very healthy lifestyle and enjoys leavening lots of bread products. I feed him at least twice a week, or more due to my current bread obsession, and will have many discussions with him on what we are going to bake next or any problem solving that we may encounter. Bubbles lives in the refrigerator in a beautiful glass container, with a screw on lid that we purchased at our local kitchen supply store.
