Food/Cooking section?

[Jayonnaise6105 Jayonnaise6105]

Was wondering if it might be worth adding another section to "other interests" for food & cooking related discussions?

If the time/financial cost of implementing one would outweigh its usefulness, that's cool. Just a suggestion

Plus, I thought a dedicated cooking section could also have threads regarding weird/interesting snacks you might see in the supermarket/grocery store, cooking TV shows and their hosts, as well as any fun or interesting cook books. Stuff like that.

You shouldn't use olive oil for a stir-fry or anything with sustained high temperatures, it breaks down. I guess if you are really skilled and manage the heat you can make that work and still get that flavor out of it, as I have seen some chefs use it on the stove for some things, but that's why I pretty much only use peanut oil: I'm lazy as fuck and peanut oil can take the highest of temperatures with its smoke point.

idk, that's always what I have been told: not to pan fry with olive oil.

I use olive oil when breaking down the paste for my green curry. It looks a bit dicey to start with, like the oil splits and that's bad I guess? I don't know. It all mixes together well by the time I've added the coconut milk & various vegetables, and it's finished cooking.

Ya, we have also had a fair share of those on here in the past.

I see that the idea is popular and getting folk excited, so I'll bring it up to the boss.

McDonald's requested a reason for why information was needed so @Waffles you are now a "content creator" who needs the business email to the mega McDonald's in Orlando Florida as a means of seeing what proper permission you need and what could be filmed or not upon a future visit. Congratulations

Nice, I'm sure that works fine. Even though olive oil is quoted as having a lower smoke point comparatively, any general cooking oil anyone would buy at a store (except EVOO) is going to be very refined nowadays so for most applications, I wonder how much it really matters... I think deep frying is the only extreme case were you really should only be using as high smoke point as you can.

But like I said, I really don't know. I just always use peanut to play it safe and it has a neutral taste anyway, so it can't really screw anything up.

A cooking section would be very welcome and would be rather cool to share recipes and the like.

For myself, I tend to currently use a budget recipe website to find some lower cost meals to make for the folks at home which generally work well but have a number of picky eaters plus another with a food sensitivity so it can be tricky. I'm always looking for some new things to throw into the rotation.
