Have you seen the Nessie soup ladle

u/PM_ME_TITS_FEMALES · 17 pointsr/specializedtools

I end up my using my straining ladle, thing is a life saver for deep things of smelly liquid. Also got a mini version for jars and whatnot

u/ORlarpandnerf · 15 pointsr/whatisthisthing

It’s a wire skimmer, you use them for hot pot or other Chinese/Thai/Korean cooking that requires you to dip stuff into boiling oil or water.

Poor ass anime fan's guide to cooking dish 5

It's ya boi, the broke ass cyclist, you know the drill. I spent all my money on new tires this week so I couldn't afford expensive food. Lemme teach yall the art of cooking through this episode of Shokugeki

*Lesson 5: Fck the recipes pt 2. The cups and scales are a lie. The only measurement you can trust is your tongue**

So this isn't specific to this episode, but a super important idea I started last week and worth establishing pretty early. One of the problems with recipes and the like are that they try to establish very specific amounts of ingredients to use in a very specific way to arrive at the dish desired. However, there are way too many variables involved in all of the ingredients we deal with in cooking, meaning that measuring our way to good balance is virtually impossible. Let me give a few examples:

  1. Spices: Spices vary in quality, which is one reason why they vary in price even at the same store. That means a tablespoon of one spice may be 2x as potent as a tablespoon of the same spice but from another batch/brand.

  2. Veggies: Depending on season and freshness, say an onion can have very different sweetness and tenderness, which affects how much to use, how long it needs to cook, and how it balances out with other parts of the dish.

  3. Soups: When making them, either as a product, a sauce, or an intermediate may turn out differently depending on how your ingredients work with each other that day.

    This is why tasting in the middle of cooking is so important, and why Soma is doing it all the time even in the midst of a competition. This is the point where you can adjust the taste using spices to reach a nice balance. This can only be done as a result of experience, and will unfortunately take some time and effort to hone in. However, once you reach that point you will have escaped from the peasant level of the recipe drone (where all too many "cooks" stop) and truly reach the ranks of the self cook master race. You'll even be able to guess the state of some of your ingredients and start adjusting beforehand too!

    Ingredient of the day: Fat/Oil

    Everyone's favorite, it gives crispiness and/or power to food. Animal based and Veggie based, with pros/cons to each. Overheating fat will make it smoke and release REALLY bad flavor that may as well give you cancer. It also literally causes cancer

    Animal Base

    Butter: A fat made from milk, it has a very low smoke point. Often salted, it gives a nice creamy flavor to foods. Can be semi-burned to taste, but balance is important.

    Lard/Tallow/Suet/Shortening: Fat from random parts of meat. Has stupid high smoke point, so used in fast-food often. And baking I think. When used to deep fry gives a solid crunchy finish. Also to provide rich punch when oiliness can be added, like the famous Japanese Sukiyaki.

    Meat/Fish fat: When cooking fatty meats or fish like bacon or Salmon, it will release its own fat as oil as it cooks. This can be taken advantage of in many ways. Rendering and crisping the fat of high end steaks provide their signature texture.

    Veggie Base

    Vegetable/Salad oil: Generic cheap mix mongrel oil, it's aight for most things calling for oil like deep frying, pan frying, etc. Like everything else on this list, when used for deep frying creates a light(er) crisp finish.

    Olive Oil: The lazy cook's standard for most things, it's light but aromatic, decently high smoke point, and ""healthy"". Quality varies wildly, so shop smartly.

    Sesame Oil: Used in Asian (read: weeb Japanese) food to give toasty flavor. Stupid low smoke point, so watch out and only add at the very end of stir fry unless you really want cancer.

    Groundnut oil: Needlessly fancy name for peanut oil. Used in some Asian foods for similar effect to sesame.

    Canola/Corn Oil: Popular in the USA, it's aight but offers nothing much extra over normal veggie oil.

    Skill/Gear of the day: Tasting/serving ladle and dish

    As a wannabe (or the real deal) Soma clone, we need to be tasting stuff constantly.. The issue here is contamination, because we don't want to be poking the pot/pan with anything that's touched our lips. So the solution is a soy sauce dish like what Soma is using in the image above. Transfer sample to dish with ladle, eat of dish. No contamination. Unlimited tasting. Much superior to wasting a spoon every time.

    Speaking of ladles, Western ladles are these giant monster scoop things with handles growing at 90 degrees from the scoop part. Japanese Ladles (wooden one for illustration only. Most are metal) have a much shallower scoop and a shallow angle, which I prefer for sampling and general poking around.

    Poor Ass recipe of the day (good recipe, but idiot overcooks the salmon)

    Presentation of the day: How many plates?

    In the standard Japanese meal, there are three plates. Well, technically 2 bowls and 1 plate. The main dish obviously goes on the plate, the soup (usually miso) goes in a bowl on the right, and the rice goes on a bowl on the left. This creates good symmetry as well as a meaningful separation between the roles. When the rice is served combined on the same plate as the main, the soup is usually omitted, and the entire meal is a single plate affair.

    Tell me what improvements I can make to this guide! I hope that by episode 10 I won't be seeing any more cereal comments in these rewatches!

I also went looking for them since I want to try this. From what I found, they’re called Wok Ladles!

This one is smaller and lighter:
www.amazon.com/dp/B001U7CT1U/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_c_api_i_akWvCb06PF7YZ

The two reviews on it are good but say that the handle is a bit short.

This one is probably closer to the one in the video:
www.amazon.com/dp/B007OZ0IBK/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_c_api_i_AnWvCbF7AYGW0

The review says it’s heavy (almost too heavy from how they describe it), and the metal pieces are welded together. I’m going with this one so I could get swole.

I also placed my order prior to posting this before you dumpling freaks out there buy em all..

u/honeybadgercantcare · 8 pointsr/TrollXWeddings

Nessie the Loch Ness Monster Ladle!

https://www.amazon.com/Ototo-OT821-Nessie-Ladle-Blue/dp/B00SRGPELO

Completely unnecessary except it makes me laugh every day when I see it sitting on my stove.

u/sunny_bell · 3 pointsr/littlespace

You could get some cute kitchen gadgets like this pan, Nessie ladle, kitty measuring cups, Dinosaur pasta thingy. If your kitchen has a window some cute curtains might help? Or cute kitchen towels. A cute apron maybe? If you're wanting to revamp the kitchen, maybe paint the walls a new color? Or swap out the handles on the drawers and cabinets

u/leopard_tights · 3 pointsr/funny

You guys don't like it because it's a swan... but what about a Nessie ladle!?

u/Shercock_Holmes · 3 pointsr/MLPLounge
u/nspikeu · 3 pointsr/castiron

More like this, flat edge, rounded corners. a rounded edge scrapes unevenly and sharp edges can gouge if you are not careful.

Best purchase ever for me, going back to metal!

u/Scubawill · 3 pointsr/AmazonUnder5

3oz version also available, $1.92 with Free Prime Shipping

Here's a one-ounce ladle you can use to spoon out all those lentils to your fat cat friends now that you're living on easy street.

u/onwardtomanagua · 3 pointsr/Canning

Echoing some of the other comments, but lids and bands, food mill, recipe books, candy thermometer. If he's into jams and jellies, probably some boxes of pectin and liquid pectin. If he needs extra dishtowels for the counter top that might be another good gift idea.

Oh! Maybe a good ladle like this.

u/ardentaffection · 2 pointsr/Random_Acts_Of_Amazon

I love food!

I especially love baking... And cheese... And bread... And so many other things. I could also use a new ladle (I really need to make some chicken soup again - so much better than the store-bought kind).


I'd say the weirdest food that I really enjoy is octopus. It's delicious in the seafood salad my family makes every year for Christmas. I guess some people consider eggplant or artichokes to be strange, too. Those are some of my absolutely favorite foods! Yum. (And now I'm hungry. Darn.)

u/Temprament · 2 pointsr/Showerthoughts

I named mine Pete

u/juggerthunk · 2 pointsr/Cooking

I'd say the essentials include a non-stick frying pan, a smaller pot (2-3 qts), a larger pot (5qts+), a cutting board, a chef's knife, measuring cups, measuring spoons, mixing bowls, a whisk, heat resistant silicone spatula, stirring spoons, serving spoon, ladle, aluminum baking sheet, tongs and can opener. With all of the above, I can cook ~ 90% of what I usually cook.

I, personally, don't care much for cast iron skillets. They require too much care and too much oil to keep up to snuff. I prefer a nice three-ply fry pan (This is what I own). A couple splurges on my part were a 2 qt saucier (was on sale for $50) which is great for making sauces of any sort because the whisk can fit in the rounded bottom of the pan. I also like the All-Clad 4Qt. Essential pan, with the tall sides and wide top. It's easy to make something a bit larger with this pan.

Finally, I bake all of my pizza on a cheap round pizza pan. It's not the fanciest, but it gets the job down well.

u/baccgirl · 2 pointsr/Random_Acts_Of_Amazon

G'day, I'm a little new to all of this, so hope this helps!

Instead of the bowl/utensil set, go with This one it's 23 pieces $39.98 then grab These bowls for only $8.99
Don't buy any books, there is more info online.
For shampoo, just use bicarbonate of soda (in a bottle and mix with warm water) then after using that, rinse off with apple cider vinegar. Natural and will clean your hair! (Just don't start eating salad in the shower). Cheap enough at about $5 for 2 months of washing hair.
This one is $10 cheaper and would do the same thing!

I don't know if this is what you are after, but judging from the other answers on here I think I may have done what you asked. If not, sorry!

Edit: also make your own GF flour!

1 1/2 cups (240 g) brown rice flour.
1/2 cup (96 g) potato starch.
1/4 cup (40 g) white rice flour.
1/4 cup (30 g) tapioca flour.
optional: 1 tsp xanthan gum (not necessary).

u/WanksterPrankster · 1 pointr/specializedtools

In looking for that spoon, I discovered that it's technically called a honey spoon.

u/shenaniganfluff · 1 pointr/mead

I see, I thought you were using the gallon jug, I use a 8-Oz Stainless Steel Ladle, Give it a try

u/therickymarquez · 1 pointr/Random_Acts_Of_Amazon

Thank you so much! I had already ordered the All Clad T107 from Amazon yesterday, so good to know that it has the straight front edge!

u/TAWHSRED · 1 pointr/grilling

Not a pitmaster either but, I've honestly never used the spatula (also a gift) that I got when I got my grill. I surprisingly haven't done burgers on my grill yet but, I wouldn't spend a ton of money on a spatula.. just something cheap that flips well enough. I don't know..
