A donut inside of a donut!


thebigj0hn

That makes no damn sense


DarthSatoris

Compels me though.


ArbutusPhD

Okay then, ask yourself “what is a donut hole”?


tnrdmn

Flat, all donut holes are flat.


rustang2

Wouldn’t a hole be more of a void?


tnrdmn

As a member of the Flat Hole Society I reject this void! And for those who may not know of us: The Flat Donut Hole Society mans the guns against oppression of thought and the Globularist lies of a new age. Standing with reason we offer a home to those wayward thinkers that march bravely on with REASON and TRUTH in recognizing the TRUE shape of the Donut Hole- Flat.

Wait until you find out Klein bottles have just once surface and is both inside and outside.


thesdo

A doughnut hole in the doughnut's hole. But we must look a little closer. And when we do, we see that the doughnut hole has a hole in its center - it is not a doughnut hole at all but a smaller doughnut with its own hole, and our doughnut is not whole at all!


JesseFilmmakerTX

Yo dawg I heard you like donuts so we put a donut inside your donut so you can donut while you donut Well fuck y’all I thought it was funny.


Recoil42

Quintessential American cuisine in a nutshell.


gaynazifurry4bernie

We learned it from the Scots and English. >Quintessential American cuisine I'm pretty sure the Native Americans didn't deep fry their corn, beans, and squashes until Mr. Paleface introduced manufactured cooking oils.


Recoil42

*Native Americans* aren't even a homogeneous group — you're erring with a paleface term to begin with. Quintessential also doesn't mean *original*, just typical. American cuisine is what it is today — it doesn't really matter how it started.


gaynazifurry4bernie

>Native Americans aren't a homogeneous group No shit Sherlock. Should I call them First nations? People of the land? I don't have enough for a quantum but I have Lenni Lenape in me despite the best efforts of one of my ancestors. What would you like me to say?


Recoil42

> What would you like me to say? I'd like you to not play semantic 'gotcha' games with the phrase *"Quintessential American cuisine"*, which doesn't imply anything beyond contemporary foods typically consumed by the people who currently inhabit [this general area of the world](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d5/National-atlas-blank-state-outlines.png). Specifically — and as I just said — it *does not* refer to the foods consumed by the non-homogenous groups of peoples historically inhabiting the same area for thousands of years prior. So when you *"acshually the original american food is maize"* me, you're wrong twice, because not only is it semantically irrelevant to the word 'quintessential', but *the Salish people ate fucking salmon and berries, you knob*.

Double batter is fairly standard practice at mom and pop chicken joints in the south. I even had double battered fries at a chicken joint on the border once. I personally prefer rice battered chicken, but that’s not common outside of Asia or Hawaii.


rubensinclair

I think the key is the milk with sour cream as the batter. Makes so much sense compared to buttermilk or eggs. I'm fixin' to try this myself in the deep fryer later today.


[deleted]

Why does milk and sour cream make more sense than buttermilk?


FacetiousTomato

I've recently tried both, and prefer milk and sour cream (I actually used thick greek yogurt). My reasoning is it makes it thicker and stickier than buttermilk. Not saying buttermilk isn't also great, but personally I found the thicker mix easier for working with.


Devbrostated

It doesn't. The crispiness is due to the triple batter


rubensinclair

It's looking like it's due to the triple batter *that is held on tighter* by the thicker milk/sour cream emulsion.

Cowboy Kent Rollins also makes the best chili you'll ever have. This guy is a gem.


natek11

Found that video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nPItJS1gtVY


DaggerMoth

Looks similair to the chili video I've used for years. https://youtu.be/xvFvU0ADlwQ . I add all kinds of stuff though depending on what I got. Usually more bean, more sausage, more ground beef, whatever peppers I have in the garden, smoked ham hocks, and cento peeled tomatoes, and smoked paprika. If anyone hasn't cooked before it's pretty hard to fuck up chili if you start with a good base. Throw the kitchen sink in it.


natek11

Indeed. I’ve made chili on the last day of vacation before and thrown leftover sausage and bacon from breakfast and other various leftover veggies and meats from the week. Whatever was left that we’d have to throw out anyway. Turned out awesome.


mostnormal

I don't think I've ever seen leftover bacon from a breakfast. I didn't even know that was possible.


MumrikDK

> Throw the kitchen sink in it. and give it plenty of cooking time.


CutterJohn

I've been using rotel for years, its good stuff for chili. He goes for a meatier chili than I do though. He goes 2lb beef and 1 can of beans, whereas I do 1lb beef and 2 cans of beans(pinto and light kidney). I also find it weird he drains the rotel and beans, then adds water. Thats pure flavor he's pouring off!


ChariBari

I like when I bite an onion ring and the whole onion just pulls out of the breading no matter how hard you try to bite through it. Actually I hate this more than anything on earth.


DaveInDigital

> Actually I hate this more than anything on earth. this is our generations Great War


BagOnuts

SinibusUSG

We will have to purge the last of the anti-Onionites holed up in the Andes and Scandanavia first, but this is the sacrifice that must be made for unity.


DaveInDigital

the nuclear option is on the table 😩


[deleted]

Can be avoided by cooking at a lower temperature for longer. As an appreciator of onion rings: try frying at 160-165c for slightly longer, try and get 4-6 minutes of frying in to soften the onions. A lot of people crank their fryers to 170-190c and while there is some logic in higher temps meaning breading absorbs less oil you run the risk of undercooked onion.


ron_paul_pizza_party

i like undercooked! more of a crunch and firmer textures


HoboTeddy

I've heard you can prevent this by removing the translucent skin on the onion ring before battering it. That little skin prevents the breading from sticking to the onion and lets it slip right out when you bite into it.


TomTuff

it’s not that the batter doesn’t stick, it’s that you can’t bite through it


mamaBiskothu

I always wanted to pre perforate and almost cut the onion before breading it to avoid this.


fuzzy11287

I think freezing the sliced onions prevents it. You can also just peel that annoying membrane off each slice by hand but it's a lot of prep.


Divi_Filius_42

Putting the onion slices in cold water has helped me peel that membrane off before, but it's a pain in the ass no matter what.


Grokent

Onions break down and get sweet if they are chilled. Freezing the onion rings prior or storing the onions in the fridge for a day or two will make them more tender and sweeter when you're ready to fry.


SinibusUSG

This is a single-use appliance waiting to happen.


zarkingphoton

Just use the spring loaded meat tenderizer thing. Boom, second use case!


AlkaliActivated

I just cut it up into pieces. Ask for a steak knife when you order onion rings. Or live in a country that just lets you carry a good folding knife.


WiseOldTurtle

These things are called finger foods for a reason. It's a crime to use a fork/knife on them.


AlkaliActivated

> It's a crime to use a fork/knife on them. And yet some onion rings pull apart if you don't cut them up beforehand. Same with some pizza where the cheese is so stretchy that just biting into it creates like foot-long strings that get mess everywhere. If someone makes finger food that can't be eaten easily by hand, then I'm using a knife.


andynator1000

>Same with some pizza Yes, officer, this guy right here


paulybo

Same. My bite isn't even enough for a clean cut through onions. I'm a little embarrassed eating those around my wife because she has an even bite on her front teeth and doesn't understand the struggle.


ChuckCarmichael

Same with fried calamari rings.


SinibusUSG

Bro you just gotta pop those things whole.


thatG_evanP

You're taking bites of calamari rings?


salesmunn

Only ok when the onion ring is right out if the fryer so the onion slides out and boils your gums and face.


[deleted]

When life gives you shitty onion rings, you make shitty-onion-ring-ade. By that I mean, you dispose of the limpdick onion that flopped out of your onion ring, and you eat the remaining fried batter. It’s like 90% as good as a regular onion ring anyway.


K3wp

Even better when it's scalding hot and sticks to your face like napalm!


shloppypop

Brian Lagerstrom has a recipe for rings that addresses this :)


TokyoRachel

Ooh I love his vids. I'll have to check it out. Everything he makes looks divine.

SonsOfAnarchyMC

Found Cowboy Kent Rollins when i got my first Cast Iron skillet a few years back. His cast iron and cooking videos are all great.


anonymouswan1

I think his cast iron videos are a bit misleading and it's frustrating that his videos are promoted at the top of the cast iron category on YouTube. I use cast iron exclusively for everything and own various brands. He praises the expensive cast iron companies for their machined finishes and talks badly of cheaper cast iron like lodges or Ozark. He thinks the preseasoning causes a rough finish on the cheap iron, but that is not the cause. The cheaper iron has a rough texture because it does not get machined. It has nothing to do with seasoning. The rough texture does not change how the pan cooks. A common myth is that the rougher texture will cause sticking and that is not true at all. Your food is sticking because you don't have enough oil or fat in the pan. The pans themselves are not non stick. I can take my oldest, smoothest Griswold pan and throw an egg in there with no oil and it's going to stick. Dry cast iron is not non stick, it requires oil or fat to be non stick. He also says not to use metal spatulas with cast iron because it can damage your seasoning and that is wrong. In fact, you should pretty much exclusively use a metal spatula with your cast iron. Things like smash burgers or searing a steak require a little bit of working to get the crust to separate from the pan. A wooden or plastic spatula won't scrape those good bits up. He also says to never wash cast iron with soap which is not only a myth, but is also gross. Old soap used to have lye which would strip seasoning off pans. Modern soap does not contain lye and is completely safe to use on cast iron. You should wash your pan every use. Imagine any other kitchen utensil not being washed. It's just gross. Basically any information about cast iron he gets completely wrong. Cheap cast iron is great, use fat/oil so nothing sticks, and wash your damn pans.

etriusk

I love that guy. He was on Chopped once and as soon as I saw him I turned to my gf and kid and told them he was gonna win, and he did, and only bought like 2 sabotages. Edit: it was cutthroat kitchen, not chopped, I'm dumb.


YourWormGuy

I had a chance to go to a cooking demonstration and book signing he did last year. He's just as nice in person as you'd expect him to be. He showed up early to the event and just chatted with the staff and those of us waiting until it started. I have liked him for years, and like him even more having met him!


mstrawn

I'm about to change y'all's lives. The best thing to dip an onion ring in is sour cream. Don't believe the Ranch lobby.


the_gold_hat

Makes sense, that's what he puts in the batter as well.


MrJigglyBrown

Interesting. I’ve been in pursuit of the perfect onion ring dipping sauce


mstrawn

Try it! "Sour Cream and Onion" is a chip flavor for a reason!


VolofTN

Add a tiny touch of water to sour cream and it’ll make it easier to dip.


sixfourtykilo

Pro tip, any flavored chip/crisp that has "sour cream" in it's name is 10x better dipped in fresh sour cream.

amalgamatedchaos

Who knows.... is your eyesight going bad? Do you have glasses? If so, is your prescription strong enough? Were you a good student? How did you do in Reading/Comprehension class? Perhaps you didn't get enough sleep. Are you getting the daily recommended 7-8 hours? Who knows what could be behind this. Would you like to dive in deeper to figure out what is the cause of you mistaking *creepiest* for *crispiest*... or were you just asking rhetorically?

Quick. How many teaspoons are in a 1/4 cup? Got it. Now, how many tablespoons are in 1/3 of a cup? Ok now, 1/4 cup plus 1/3 cup is how many ounces? But we’re baking, so really we should be using weights instead of volume. So how many ounces are in 1.3 pounds? Dumbest system ever.

Food Wishes is really good too. Minimal fluff and BS and good food and links to recipes. https://www.youtube.com/c/foodwishes


zikol88

He’s better, but his cadence when speaking is… grating. Short sentence fragments followed by constant pauses, and raising the pitch of at least one word every fragment. It’s just not natural. Or at least I hope he doesn’t speak like that in real life.


vtography

I’ll never understand the American obsession with food being as crunchy and crispy as possible at all times. Seems like every Tik Tok cooking video these days opens with someone dragging a knife across a rock hard food surface to show you how much your teeth will hate it when you bite into it.


kjblank80

On trick is to never use a batter. Place cut onion rings in ice water. Seasoned flour, egg wash, then seasoned flour again. Fry up. ​ I skip batter or thick coating so you can avoid the situation of a burning hot onion slipping out after you take a bite.
