This thread is a safe space. A sounding board. A ledge for us to talk you off of. Use it when you want to wonder out loud if something is crazy enough to work.

This morning I had to share the oven with my wife. I was doing a bread bake, which requires 20 minutes at 475 in a covered dutch oven and then 30 minutes at 450 with the lid off. She needed to use the oven to roast some veggies for our son.
I thought, briefly, that it would be fun to fire up the charcoal grill after that covered portion of the bake and smoke the loaf at 450 for the last half our. I still might try it one day. Seems like it would make sense. You're still using convection, and I bet the smoky flavor seeping into the uncovered bread crust would be wild.
Also, I wonder if you can achieve a good bowl of steel cut oatmeal using a french press.

Same-day lasagna.

Convection is tricky. First of all, most consumer ovens do a piss poor job of actual convection. It any rate, I would never look to a grill to achieve a similar result, unless you happen to live in a place it is consistently windy or something?
What would be the purpose of a French press oatmeal? You’re not just siphoning the water and tossing the oats, so are you hoping for a unique texture or something?
But now this has got me thinking about whether or not I could approach oatmeal like a risotto sometime…

Well, as I waited for the water to simmer off the oats (because it was an abnormally rushed morning today) I got to wondering how I could expedite the process. I had an aha moment thinking that pressing the oats and draining off the water would do the trick. They felt soft enough, but my strainer's holes are too large.

Think about all the great stuff you could add while you wait for it to steep, too.

What about a hamburger and fries and a milkshake, but in a blender?

Are you trying to mock me in my self made safe space?

It was a thread just like this, way back when, in a forum somewhere in North Andover, that the bread bowl was invented.

no i'm totally serious. Cool Haus has an ice cream that's vanilla + french fries, so that got my gears turning.

Duke's mayo topping sounds so gross though.

When I was a latchkey kid, I'd throw a hot dog bun filled with tomato sauce, and topped with cheese, in the toaster oven. Good times.

I'd just make an english muffin pizza.

What the fuck do you know about North Andover?
Fri June 12, 2020 1:12 am
Not much. Just whatever they post over at the No' Andy forum.
