    Tearing a Croissaint layer

    Hello guys, I was very pleased with the lamination process until I rolled the dough out to cut the triangle shapes. The bottom layer, as I was rolling, tore in the center. (not the entire layer was torn off) Are my croissaints ruined? :( Will they be completely dense or have a little bit of...

    I was researching and found out that meat such as roast b eef would be med-rare at 125 in the thickest part of the center, and others say 130-135. I'm confused. I do understand that letting the meat rest would allow for proper distribution of juices but I also heard that it would continue to...

    Injecting flavor- plethora of questions

    Hey. I was wondering how injecting meat with syringes work. Do you inject directly in the center? Would you need to inject all over the place for the flavor to distribute? Are there cons to it? Would you need to let it rest with those flavors inside before cooking? (Like for example, letting...

    Crisping Duck Confit

    The following below is from Emeril's FRIED duck confit recipe. This is the "duck confit" portion that does not involve the frying instructions. Now, instead of deep frying it, I'd like to only crisp the skin portion of the duck leg. How would I be able to do this efficiently? Also, I do not...

    Grilling Chilean Sea Bass

    How would using a grill to grill Chilean sea bass work? Say 1 and a half inch thick filets at high heat on the grill (Medium cooked)? Would I wait for the flesh to turn chalky white on the side and then flip? Any estimations?

    FYI to people, the recipe was using foodwishes method x (you MUST bring the rib to room temp before roasting), so I couldn't skip that out by compensating with oven temp.. plus the water bath worked!

    URGENT! Prime rib help!

    For many, "Prime rib" is the name for standing rib roast.. it's a very popular term.. EDIT: To quicken the process of bringing the meat to temperature, would it help if I double bagged it in glad zip lock bags, squeeze out excess air, and put it in warm (not boiling)water?

    Is it safe to deepfry in a pan on the stove?

    Listen to these nice folks here or you'll end up like me.. and my poor unfortunate carpet.. It was 2 years ago, and my cousins and I ended up tossing tempura shrimp like a frisbee across the kitchen because we were too afraid to put the shrimp in the oil.. the oil in the pan would EXPLODE.. :*(

    Croissant Pudding Curdling issue

    I just made it, and it was fine for some reason. I'm not sure why though because as usual, I let it steep for 10-15 minutes. But I think it's because I used a different oven this time? Same temp though (350)
