Cooking with Kat (and DSP) thread

[Prince Lotor]

I might be missing your point here. :powerlevel:I always have the burner on high until I achieve boiling, only after it's rolling I turn the heat down.

When you bring a tomato sauce to a roiling boil on a high heat it destroys many of the volatile flavor compounds.

This can get you started to give you a general idea. For tomato sauce, at most, you would use a medium-heat to bring it up to temperature and then reduce to a low-heat to simmer. You would also need to be stirring constantly heating it on the highest heat possible to keep things that settle to the bottom from turning into a tough paste/burning on a direct heat like that, rather than shifting your weight back-and-forth awkwardly with the lid on waiting for it to boil.

Also it's up to you how to cook your food but parts of those meatballs were charcoal. Cooking any food on high heat results in the formation of carcinogenic compounds. https://metabolichealing.com/the-dangers-of-high-heat-cooking/

Cooking foods on high heat also breaks down essential nutrients in them, basically Phil is literally making tomato flavored Gatorade.

And yes, IIRC, Phil cooks his meatballs at the bottom of the pot because all the grease from cooking them goes into the Authentic Italiano sauce, and heating that grease up on a high heat also creates carcinogenic compounds.

Here he explains all the grease going into his sauce and his 'technique' for turning the meatballs in a giant pot

He admits the meatballs are burnt, after cooking them on medium-high for 17 minutes lol, and puts the tomatos directly in the hot grease

All of this shit was in the pot when he was heating it up to boiling on the highest possible heat, that was my point. You can see the chunks of paste at the start that would burn and congeal, also the meat is sitting in there on the bottom. . .with a cup of sugar lol

This is the 'Authentic Italiano Sauce' from the lore

Excellent post on a Discord wondering why DSP is happy Kat lives with him now:

For reference here are the meals DSP felt were Instagram-worthy before Kat moved in (as far as I know she didn't help make any of these):

That bitch actually puts some soul in her cooking, I'll give her that. Her shit is gourmet food compared to all that depressing shit.

No its not. I will not have people cooking in ways that are not true & authentic.

I don't think those meatballs are burnt. Different cultures have different approaches to food prep and some people brown the meatballs. My only criticism is about the amount of fat/oil/whatever in that pot - IMO it's way too much.

If I were to guess, the reason for using the pot could be so that there is one less pot/pan to wash, to lend some flavor to the sauce and/or prevent the oil from splattering.



There is a story I've heard a few times (don't know if it's true or not): A woman was cooking a ham and had it cut into two pieces. Someone asked her why she cut the ham in half and she said it was the way her mom did it and her grandmother before that.
She got curious, though, and decided to ask her grandmother the reason for cutting the ham in half. Her GM told her that it was because she didn't have a pan big enough to cook the ham whole.

I know you were being ironic, but sometimes the reasons we cook the way we do is because an ancestor didn't have a pan big enough.

That is far past browning. If it were just browning the entire surface wouldn’t be fucking carbonized. The only times I can think of where you would ever take the meat anywhere near that far would be for bolognese, and you wouldn’t be shaping it into meatballs for that.

Bro, did you seriously, non-ironically sent me to Reddit for cooking lessons? Couldn't you come up with a website that at least has some semblance of seriousness, like...I don't know, epicurious.com?

The couple of posts at the top cover fairly thoroughly and explain pretty simply most of what I was talking. Sorry it wasn't authentic enough for you. I didn't know how advanced to assume you were considering you seemed to think some charcoal briquettes looked like a tasty dish. I'll make sure to link to the most refined and respected sources so as not to offend anyones sensibilities in the future. I have brought shame to my Italiano heritage. I beg forgiveness for my transgressions.

Why didn't we have this thread before.

Do you think I should expand the scope of this thread to include DSP tries it? Or make a separate thread for that? I know he doesn't make them much any more but I know people love those videos.

I'd think we should just open it up to everything in the DSP-Food sphere. Cooking with the King, DSP Tries it, making fun of his hungry man meals, the works.

Ok, sounds good *snort*. Added to OP:
"You can talk here about Phil & Kat when it relates to any food items such as cooking, DSP tries it, Instagram posts and anything else."

If we're doing DSP Fries It, then let me throw in the capstone of why he has crippling Gout:

You can hear the lard when he takes that bite.

 

[gobbogobb]

Is that velveeta on that abomination of a burger?

 

[Sparkletor]

Okay Phil needs to do this since he's the realest motherfucker on the internet.

If you've ever seen a cooking show you may have noticed something horrendously wrong with them. They show the host mixing the ingredients and getting everything ready to cook. Then they say "this is what I've prepared earlier" and they take the dish out of the oven. That is just plain lazy edited content. Phil needs to make a raw unedited cooking show where we can watch the food cook in real time.

Think about it, he could upload dozens of 10 minute clips of a cake or a roast cooking in the oven! It would be the realest most honest cooking program in history. It's almost guaranteed to make a lot of money.

I think you can actually stream cooking on Twitch. He could probably get more viewers from cooking than he does from playing video games.

Just looking at this can give someone a heart attack.

You can, and I think some of them make decent money, but then again, they also make decent food.

There are also people trying to milk the system by having the camera on 24/7 showing (I shit you not) plants growing, aquariums, pet cages and 3D printers working.
Yes, there are people on Twitch that put in less effort than Phil. Granted, most have no views.

You can. A food youtuber that goes by Babish does it sometimes.

To be fair Babish streams a Cooking Show, which might be different.

But I imagine any cooking falls under the IRL streams.

Either IRL or Creative.

Phil doesn't even need to leave his loveseat. I remember seeing a guy who set up a grill on his coffee table and was streaming/cooking from his sofa.

 

[DiabeticSP]

Aren't we about due for the weekly Instagram post of Kat Cooking?

I wonder if she put her foot down about him posting things relating to her to his weirdo fans.
