Losing weight?
Yeah I'm losing weight, I started last week on wednesday at 97.5kg and yesterday I was 95.4kg, it could be waterweight sure but I feel better regardless, less bloated overall
I'm taking a weekly photo to see the progress I made physically, although I guess when you are significantly fat, that few kg is relatively small
Keep on going man! @Deleted User
how much pomegranate can I eat before I damage my stomach lining
When cooking ground pork do you add water before seasoning it and stuff? @meratrix
I wonder if I should just make it the same way I make ground beef
fuck no @Deleted User
that’s a great way to get bland as fuck ground pork.
now, you could braise a porkchop, but not ground.
@meratrix you braise food by cooking it in a flavorful liquid
Water ain't flavorful
obviously.
It ends up tasting dry and salty
I cooked it in water and after it dried I seasoned it a bit, tasted rather interesting
If it ends up dry and salty then cook for less time and add less salt.
You lose so much damn flavor to the water when you boil meat.
Unless your making a stock, do not boil meat.
Braising is delicious as fuck though.
@Deleted User If you're going to cook in water I recommend adding to the water at least some stock/bouillon of whatever meat you're cooking, probably no salt. Either follow a recipe or you'll probably have to do it a few times to get a feeling for it, especially considering different meats absorb flavors differently, and obviously ground beef will absorb far more quickly than a whole cut due to surface area alone. If you just want to add to taste a rule of thumb is to add enough that the water starts to taste like a light soup broth. If the broth tastes too salty, the finished product will. Also don't use more water than you have to, you want to submerge the meat fully but not deeply. You can add more water as necessary. Meratrix says never cook meat in water but that's just not true, but you do want to do a bit of research because it is harder to get right than other methods. For example, cooking ground beef in a pan of water with beef stock and spices makes some really dank juicy taco meat, but it's also very easy to overcook. Also cook covered as much as possible to seal everything in. And definitely don't overcook.

I used ground pork and before seasoning it I put some water on the pot, like halfway (don’t have exact measurements). After the water began boiling I added the pork and let it boil with the water to separate any fat and make sure it’s properly cooked. Then I seasoned it a bit and added it to the hamburger helper. Though, I expected it to take like 15 minutes @Thomas the Sowell Train [USA]
@Thomas the Sowell Train [USA] "You don't cook meat in water." When I say that I mean pure water. No Bullion, no spices, no basic seasoning, nothing.
And cooking in a pan is not what I was referring to, we were talking about boiling ground pork.
And when you braise, you leave a bit of the top out of the liquid.
Ah okay. I misread you then.
that's a special tier of disgusting
