has anything nice happened to you recently? i found a nice kitchen machine today next to somebody's appartment in a box for free! old owner apparently did not want it anymore. it was hardly used, basically new. i think it is the same as on this picture. it is a good condition simple but fully functioning food processor that came with a variety of attachments!!!! >big shredding grating disc (i dunno what to do with this one yet) >medium shredding grating disc (maybe for carrot? i dunno) >fine grinding disc (maybe for ginger if i want to make a big batch of ginger tea) >thin slice disc (maybe i can use this to finely chop spring onion to make these asian spring-onion pancakes) >medium slice disc (looking forward to this one the most! i hope i can make cabbage slices with this to make raw cabbage meals. i remember one summer i made a lot of raw cabbage meals and my shit was alarmingly huge and scary looking! if i had seen my poop laying on the street i would have concluded that some big dangerous animal must be near. usually my shits are small and unimpressive) >whipping disc (i dunno if i ever use this because i don't think adding air to food is a good idea. some people who also believe this buy little gadgets to "vacuum blend") >kneading disc (for making bread. i bought some oats and want to make oat bread with this) >two blade rough chopper (this is the one i probably use the most) i am ashamed to admit this but i have been searching for a device like this for many years and every time i looked at one at the amazon, i didn't like it. it always comes with some garbage low level blender and attachments that i don't like. i will make raw tomato sauce with this, use it to chop vegetables, maybe it is strong enough to turn grains into flour, maybe make simple bread doughs. i bought some sweet potato so i can make this sweet potato roti recipe. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WRj0tPEjcBY i never had roti ever.

can't find good pictures of it with all the attachmens, since they no longer make this model and want the internet to forget it ever existed because the people are supposed to buy their new shit and not use pre-owned old stuff. rich people who sell things hate that, they think they would make more money if people didn't do this but fuck em. 3d printing will make most of commerce obsolete so these are the end times of consumerism.

one more disc came with it that i forgot about: >a potato fries slicer it has these rectangular blades. maybe those can be nice for cucumber too, i dunno what else to do with it since i am not gonna make fried potato. potato to me is an unhealthy struggle food. i'll eat it when times are bad.

>>917 had a similar experience but with an old ceiling fan i found on the terrace of my previous flat. looked fine, just dusty, so i cleaned it up and installed it myself. first few days were normal, but then it started making this rhythmic clicking sound, not random, like a pattern. i timed it once, it was exactly the same number of clicks every night before stopping dead at 3:17 am. then i noticed something worse it only spun in one direction when i was alone. if anyone else entered the room, it would reverse instantly, without me touching the switch. electrician checked it, said the wiring’s fine, bearings fine, motor fine. it’s still running at my new place because i can’t throw it away. i’ve tried. every time i unplug it, something in the house stops working, fridge light, phone charger, random stuff. i think it’s all connected now.

this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ub1Y_6VotBU is kind of how i want to do it except i will not be using QUARK and instead i use something vegan, probably coconutmilk or some nutmilk i made in the blender. i just found that out i can basically make any nut i like into a milk and it usually comes out good. when i add a date to it, it becomes great. i like how simple the technique is. just oats and a moist fat, combined into a dough, then turn the dough into a short stick and roll the stick in seeds so they stick to it.

the food processor of good fortune keeps on giving! made something like an oat bread with it. just >200g chunky oats >100ml coconut milk >3 tablespoon peanut oil >1 grated red onion >maybe like a shot glass of water or two i just let the machine stir to combine everything and then added dried rosemary, onion powder and salt. i sprinkled some sesame and poppy seeds on top before it went into the toaster oven for ~22 minutes and came out very nice. i was able to grate the onion with the machine with a grating disk on top while there was a kneading attachment at the bottom. i call that good fortune. i had one avocado and it was perfectly ripe and not stringy and brown inside so i am eating it with my selfmade bread, so double good fortune.

>stuff i have learned so far -it does not liquify salsa the same way my powerful blender does. it does not turn the tomato into a sauce, more into very small chunks that are almost but not quite a liquid. -the dough hook worked fine for my simple dough. it worked as intended, it moved a dough clumb like a ball across the bottom of the chamber -mystery solved on what to do with those grating disks: i use them to grate onion into stuff. when i repeat what i did today, i can just make any bread into an onion bread. if i had the fortune of making you a german curry, this is the bread i would put next to the curry to eat (instead of naan)

>>943 I like my curries with some protein sources on it, mostly chicken cubes up, but this actually seems like a very nice curry recipe. I would suggest as a trick of trade to add a very small tea spoon of a tiny sized amount of fennel seeds. Should be a size that's negligible, but it makes a difference in the curry that uses pumpkin. Keep it between you and us jeets.

This is why I like rotis made of jowar and rotis made out of bajra, though making a non flat bread that is supposed to puff up, gluten is far more important, and needs some amount of wheat.

>>944 >fennel seeds ~5 years ago i actually made an attempt to make the curries the same way the indian videos explain with actually gently roasting lots of herbs and spices in the beginning. i bought a few herbs thanks to a little vietnamese store nearby (they have so many curry pastes!). i think one of them was fennel so i should still have some. i still think cooking is wrong though so i consider curry now a type of candy, only to enjoyed very rarely.

>>947 >seeds, I mean the black caraway, or fennel flower to be exact and not the green fragrant variation i actually did find black caraway in my spice stash! might not be exactly the variety you describe but should be pretty close. it is the kind that the turkish use for their breads. the turkish use too much of it at once ^^ also found methi seeds and 2 differently colored mustard seeds. i know it tastes amazing when the flavors of spices are intensified by a light roasting in oil but i think frying in oil is a big mistake health-wise so i can't do it. in the last few weeks i actually started using caraway again, i threw a small amount (maybe 1/4 teaspoon) in with the experimental oat bread dough and the same amount i add to raw salsa. basically most of what i eat are fruit smoothies and mostly raw vegetables (with some cooked plantstuff) with raw tomato salsa. currently happening in my kitchen: i am steaming 2 peeled sweet potatos. one to finally make sweet potato roti (in the food processor of good fortune) and another one to make mashed sweet potato (also in the most fortunous device!)

to steam the sweet potatos in, i use this stainless steel precision instument that i found in a thrift store for 10€. i think they go for 80€-120€ for a new one. mine does not look like it got used too much. it is a tall pot that has a strainer that perfectly fits inside, apparently to make spaghetti and then just lift them out of the boiling water. i dunno who makes so much spaghetti that this invention would make sense for but i am glad it exists because i can mis-appropriate it as a steamer. i just fill the bottom 2cm with water and turn it on and load the thing with the sweet potato chunks. i do think this more gentle way of preparing food (steaming) will destroy the fragile stuff in the food less then actual boiling and ends up being healthier. i have been looking forward to use this for a few weeks now but today is the day i finally play with it. one thing i already did with the thing was make pumpkin soup and it was delicious. also i enjoyed stirring in this pot because when i only fill it half, i can stirr the contents with such unusual strength and because it is so tall with such high walls, it does not spill over, feels very manly and fan, fully recommend this device. i always look at woks and never owned one and wanted to play with one for a long time but this actually seems way more practical for my use case. still i long to play with a wok and one day i will!

steaming worked good. only thing i have to make sure is that it is actually the steam steaming and not just to bottom of the pot being so close that i am still cooking the potato. i took half of the steamed chunks, put them on a plate and pointed a fan at it to quickly blow room temperature air over it. fans are amazing kitchen tools to quickly thaw something frozen from the freezer or to quickly cool something hot from the stove. while the cooled chunks were in the food processor, it was very convenient to have the little opening at the top because i was pouring stuff into that opening while the blades made the puree: >1 hand full of walnuts >1 clove of garlic >few drops of olive oil >few drops of dark soy sauce >few drops of maple syrup >1/4 teaspoon of salt >1 pinch of carraway >1 pinch of powdered kardamom >1 pinch of hot masala >1 pinch of onion powder >1 punch of black pepper i could do stuff like that in a small blender too but my small blender is made from glass and doesn't have the top opening. this is a wonderful little machine. i already looked at a local website that sells used stuff from people and those can be found for as little as 10€. i hope you too can be as fortunate as me.

>>976 bless you, casual. i am at the point in my food preparation where one mixing machine could not possible be enough to do everything i would need it for. 2 winters ago i wanted to play with deep frying after finding a new deep fryer machine at my supermarket for the ridiculous low price of 15€. it was a nice machine with lots of thought put into it, well capable of keeping oil in a tight range of temperature to ensure a precise fry of something. I DID NOT EVEN USE IT ONCE. i looked at it but all i could see was the stress this would put on my body and the tangible reduction in health it would inevitably lead to. so i threw it away not having used it once and bought another blender, a tiny one made from glass just for sauces and since then i have used it hundreds of times. the consumer machines are designed foolishly. i have like 10 different machines that all have motors in it like a blender but because they don't use a common standard with interchangable motors, every cup needs it's own motor basically instead of having 1 motor with 10 different cups. there is probably something better i have not stumbled upon yet. the mere existence of this proprietary incompatible DRM kitchen hardware bothers me.

while just throwing different vegetables into the food processor i found a nice way to make use of leek. i just rip off outer "leaves" of the leek, wash them, pinch off the green parts and throw it into the food processor, together with the oats it basically made something that very much reminds me of falafel. i made it into balls and baked it and now i am enjoy those as a treat. i tried to make pancakes like these asian pancakes made from spring onions mainly and it turned out pretty good. i like buying leek mane. i used to only throw it into soup, i am glad i am doing these experiments, i am learning a lot!

if i don't forget i will probably make actual falafel soon but it seems like just any old vegetable becomes falafel as long as i throw some oats in there. man if i would still believe in eating grains seriously, i would cook this all the time. i found this too late xD

these metal cups i have seen in indian videos are nice. i have never seen cups like that sold in my entire life. the prison metal trays with the different compartments that are sometimes uses as plates i have also never seen here once. i only have glass for everything. there is a special german manufacturer of glasses called WECK and those glasses can be frozen, put into the oven or (and this is what they are intended for) they can be used for submersion cooking, which sterilizes the content of the glass to make the content shelf-stable, i think it stays good for years. i guess it does not work with everything but people here have been doing this for a long time, not so much lately in the convenience age i guess.

this is the glass i use for everything. i have like 50 of those and very little else when it comes to food storage. for a while i wouldn't even own bowls, i would eat soup from those glasses now i have 3 bowls because i sometimes make portions of salad or noodle soups so big they don't fit inside 1 liter glasses. >1000ml ( = 1 liter) >for 10cm diameter clamp-on lids >they also sell plastic lids though which are way more convenient and i deep freeze with those plastic lids on. i also have this glass in half the size but with the same lid size. i deep freeze fresh grapes, berries and bananas in those all the time.

if you care to see someone who actually uses these glasses the intended way (submersion cooking aka EINKOCHEN) to make food shelf-stable, check out this german woman's shelf-stable food collection. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JkE1L2UbI8o these are shelves filled with food she made by filling glasses with food, sealing them (with a glass lid, rubber gasket and metal clamps) and then submerging the sealed glasses in a bath in boiling water. this is done with an electric pot (called EINKOCHAUTOMAT) that is big enough so it can fit these glasses. i have yet to do this myself.

see how nice these glasses look? there are lots of different ones and these glasses are not out of reach expensive. i once dropped a glass foolishly but other then that, none of these glasses have ever failed on me. glasses with threading did fail on me and i was way gentler with them and did not even freeze or heat them. it is nice to know how to do this and have real food made shelfstable for shtf-preparedness, though look at her. she does not look like the embodyment of health even though she uses real ingredients, often organic and the reason is she eats like a fool and cooks her food.

those stainless steel food containers are nice. i guess they are convenient because the whole container with the food in, could just be put on a weak hotplate and it would keep warm in the same dish that it could be served out of. i still have this dream about stackable cooking pots that can all be stored inside each other like those russian wood dolls.
