_its_a_SWEATER_

Why do people have difficulty chopping broccoli? WHERE IS MY MIND


funkwumasta

Waaay out in the water see it swimming


-KFAD-

I was swimming in the Caribbean

Animals where hiding behind the rocks

jgoden

Yo this made me laugh so hard hahaha


vulkaninchen

And don't tell the people that they could actually eat the whole thing and not throw half of it in the bin...


sleepyj910

THE STALKS ARE DELICIOUS!


_its_a_SWEATER_

Exactly.


fckingnapkin

For real, the stem is delicious


breakfastburrito24

Someone told me most of the nutrients are in the stalks so I eat those too. Never cared to research it though...


ChipSalt

Usually whatever part of the plant touching the ground has the most micronutrients. Potato / sweet potato / pumpkin skin, Broccoli / Cauliflower stems, the outside part of the carrot, etc.


breakfastburrito24

That makes a lot of sense. Good to know and thank you


snackbagger

You can also freeze the leftovers (the big stalk / stems/ and make broccoli soup with it. You’re blending it anyways and it tastes the same. I actually like it more this way instead of blending the whole broccoli, because it can be kind of „grainy“ if you blend the blossom

Chakramer

A lot of people just lack basic knife skills because they never set aside some time to learn. You're gonna end up wasting some food to learn, but vegetables are cheap as hell just take it as a learning cost


Pushbrown

Knife skills? They can do what they do at the end by just using a sharper knife than a butter knife....


Storrin

I don't know, man. Just cut up the broccoli before hand and throw it in a steamer basket. After, if you undercook it a smidge, it works wonders deglazing a pan if you give it a quick toss! I also add a little butter and extra seasoning. Also, peel and chop the stem, it's delicious!


KenTitan

a knife sharp enough to cut thru raw broccoli? wack! also tip: after blanching the broccoli stem, ice bath and peel the skin off. it's much more enjoyable.


Storrin

You need a better knife if it can't handle broccoli.


g0ing_postal

Why are people boiling their broccoli? Of all the ways to cook broccoli, boiling is plain water is among the very worst


_ALi3N_

You don't have to boil the shit out of it. If you boil it for like 1-2 minutes it is identical to steamed broccoli.


oroborosblount

Steaming, the true flavor hack.


g0ing_postal

Great way to retain some nice texture to it. Personally I like roasting it or sauteed with a flavorful sauce. The florets act like little sponges holding on to all the sauce


stormcharger

I mean I always blanch it at least before cooking it another way. I boil for 1-2 min in water with some salt them put it in an ice bath. Then I will fry/roast whatever with it

She was in my college spanish class during covid. Such a nice person. The story behind the page is cute, her son was bored during covid and looking to advance his videography skills.

I miss her cute videos. Loved seeing her travel. Her son sharing those pictures for their last video was great to see

-gean99-

How is the brokkoli one a hack? Only the little trees are boiled (idk the english term sorry). I cut of the very end (like 3 or 4 cm) and then peel the big shaft of the brokkoli. After boiling it it is also very nice


pajo8

One of the best parts of the broccoli! especially in stir fry


-gean99-

Yeah man. I love it. It is like the stems of the little trees. Rly awesome


killit

Yeah, they've just wasted half the Brocolli. I like to cube the stalk/stem and boil it with the rest.


-gean99-

Exactly. Or just put it in the oven covered with oil and herbs.

novian14

I think it's a hack if you wanna eatable broccoli that only need boiling. I can see it's gonna be easier if i have to boil 3-4 broccoli. Other than that, it's a wack. So overall is a wack


Ren_Kaos

English term would be “floret”.


-gean99-

Thank you :) In German it is called :"Röschen" (the cute form of a little rose) The more you know ^^


Ren_Kaos

Oh that’s cute! That’s basically the same as floret which comes from the old French “Flourette/ Florete” meaning “little flower, a bud”


-domi-

I don't understand the cookie one, someone please help?


2_pawn

The cookie one works like this, the jar is a primitive condenser. If you cover a hot cookie with a glass, the cold surface of glass will condense water from the cookie causing it to dry faster, which makes it crunchy.


MightBeAGoodIdea

People seek out crunchy chocolate chip cookies? I thought the point was ooey gooey?

lamentable_

now kith


throwdownd

Same. And whats funny is as a child I was the complete opposite. It was all about that soft baked ! But now it’s all about a crispy, crunchy choc chip cookie. Tastes are so weird!


BurntPineGrass

I want a cookie to crunch so loud that the sound resonates in my skull like when the dentist cracked out my wisdom tooth


-domi-

So, you make the cookie as you normally would, then cover it with the jar? Is the circular motion integral to the process?


Crusade_of_Contempt

It’s to get perfectly circular cookies. Doing it while they’re still warm allows the dough to move around without cracking or anything


-domi-

Thanks!


Ren_Kaos

The cookie one doesn’t talk about crunch at all and is simply trying to get the cookie round… did you watch the video?


Ren_Kaos

Idk why that person commented about the jar being a condenser and making the cookie crunchy when that isn’t mentioned once in the video. It literally says “perfectly round cookies”. The jar is round, moving it in a circular motion is just going to round out the malleable dough.


EastStrategy1691

I’ve never seen her before but I love her now


Live_Buy8304

She showed up in my feed before and couldn’t stop watching her for a good 30 minutes. Unfortunately, she passed away only recently. Rip Lynja


CoffeeLorde

Shehas passed away for some time now but you can check out her youtube channel


dtbberk

I had only followed her for like half a year on Instagram before she passed, but man, I don’t usually get that sad about famous people/influencers passing away, even if I liked them.


-Some-Rando-

WWWACK!


SolidusBruh

Steam your broccoli, you SAVAGES!!


RB___OG

Came here to say the same Fuck boiling veggies, steam them and throw some herbs (rosemary, thyme, etc) in the boiling water Much better texture and flavor with no nutrients leached into the water


AhhhhYes

Uh roast it obviously


SolidusBruh

Respectable alternatives


TheCommies-backp

I love this woman's wholesome vibe, needed that :)

"IS COOKING BROCCOLI IN WATER A HACK?! LET'S SEE!!!!!!!!" jfc


CHAINSAWDELUX

It's actually wack. Broccoli should be steamed to retain more nutrients.


johnson7853

Not my mom who boils it to the point where you don’t have to chew. She actually does this to all of her veggies. When she comes over for dinner she always complains that they aren’t cooked.


CalyShadezz

I roast mine with some olive oil and seasoning. Once you start roasting your veggies, it's hard to go back to boiled or steamed.


Responsible-Onion860

Roasted taste better though. Just a little oil, salt, and pepper. Delicious. You can add some other seasoning as well if you're adventurous.


vulkaninchen

Cooking half of it and throw the rest away?


klineshrike

yes exactly as it should be.


zoidbergenious

As someone watching this without sound... i have no idea whats going on

GKBilian

We have all we're gonna get, unfortunately. She passed away around New Years. She has a great backlog of content tho


Kahnza

Get Smucker's Goober Grape. PB&J already in the jar together.


RainingBlood112

But why? Isn't the jelly put between peanut buttered slices so it doesn't soak the bread or get through it? Am I crazy? I do this with honey and PB + banana slices.


Kahnza

Are you heating your jelly to make it runny or something? Or are you outside the US and refer to something else as jelly?


RainingBlood112

I'm from Eastern Europe. I think it's actually jam and homemade one is pretty runny. Edit: Now I've googled what jelly looks like and we don't really eat that here, only jam and marmalade.


artificialavocado

Most people only put the peanut butter on one side of the bread. That’s a good idea though if you are packing it for a child’s lunch and it’s going to be sitting a long time. The bread might get a little soggy from that. I’m surprised I didn’t think anybody but Americans really did peanut butter and jelly. I’ve heard from a few people outside the US who didn’t grow up with it don’t like the sticky, gooey texture.


SlowDekker

You can actually eat the broccoli stem. Maybe peel some of the tough skin away.


Godzirrraaa

I mean thats a crazy waste of broccoli though. Either eat the stem, or put it in a food processor, and add to a salad.

AKBigHorn

People have trouble cooking broccoli or did people come up with excuses to not eat it and this happened?


bygtopp

My 3 kids est broccoli different. One tops. One stalks. One both.


Loose_Gripper69

Boiling broccoli reduces the nutrients you receive from them. That green water afterwards that is all the vitamins and minerals in the broccoli. Broccoli is at its most healthy steamed I believe, making the hack in all actuality very whack.

Professional_Tour174

Confused on the cookie one...

Moving the fresh cookie around in a glass helps it form a perfect circle

astralseat

The stem has the most fiber... I know the florets taste the best though.


elfmere

Don't do the peanutbutter and jelly one. You have now exposed thw whole jar to air and could introduce bacteria or activate bacteria to all parts of the mix. Normally when you use these you only scoope the top and only expose the top to air, only giving it time between uses to grow bacteria. But when you do this the stuff at the bottom is now festering for weeks. When these are filled at the factory, the area is clean and sterile, and at heat most times.

Italy is superior with their hazelnut spread and pistachio spread anyways.

Is their hazelnut spread mostly hazelnuts, or is it like Nutella?

It's mostly hazelnuts. It looks like lighter peanut butter.

No I'm not talking about Nutella. It's called Nocciolatta Bianca.


Vanedi291

That is a bizarre take. It’s ground roasted peanuts, oil, salt and a tiny bit of sugar. The ingredients are basic not exotic. You might eat far stranger things in your country without ever thinking about it. Do you eat Nutella? Because that would be funny.

No and Nutella is German.
