#Best Food Presets

[viatravelers]

A good foodie photo is a thing of beauty, especially when taken by professional food photographers. The color, texture, and composition all come together to make you want to dive right in.

[octuscle]

So I just got my Chronivac and noticed that it's saying that I used to be a country boy stud with a redneck boyfriend and don't remember any of this, did someone else use one on me without my knowledge

Phew! As far as I can tell, you have purchased a special edition of the Chronivac with a preset already activated. And you started the activation by contacting support. I'm afraid there's not much I can do… At least not until the transformation is complete.

You're sitting in a sports bar with one of your frat brothers. You've just come from rowing training. You're both stars of the university team. Still! Because while you're waiting for your non-alcoholic beer, something starts to change… You were just talking about the upcoming exams. And suddenly you're talking about football. Somehow out of the blue. Fuck university. University pisses you off.

You may not notice it, but the smell in the bar starts to change. Sweat. Beer. Sawdust. Frying fat… Your eyes fall on the man next to you at the bar. Stephen, the captain of the lacrosse team, was just standing there. Now there's someone who looks a lot like Stephen. But he's wearing a sweaty undershirt, has one thumb tucked under his massive belt buckle and has a bottle of beer in the other. His jeans are dirty and he's wearing dusty biker boots. And they are no longer standing on a stylish concrete floor but on an old floorboard covered with sawdust. Stephen turns up his nose. And spits on the floor. What the hell?!?!?! Your bro asks you if you have snuff. You're too confused to be surprised that you pull a can of Copenhagen out of your back pocket. And before you put the tin away again, you take a big pinch yourself.

Something is different. But you don't know what… Caren comes over and asks if you'd like another round of beer. And if you want something to eat. Damn, a big portion of chicken wings and a pitcher of beer would be just the thing right now. But before the food arrives, you have to take a piss. And actually get rid of any other pressure. You glance in the direction of the toilets. The stall has just become free. You signal to your bro that he should follow you straight away. As an appetizer, he gets a load of what's currently building up in your balls.

It was a damn great evening in the bar. The food was good, there was plenty of beer and you were able to cum twice. But you and your buddy had to go to bed early. You had to be at work at 07:00. At the latest. There's a lot to do at the moment. Due to the economic crisis, your fellow citizens have to drive their cars longer than usual. And that means more work for you and your buddy in the workshop. But you love your job!

But you love the end of the day even more. Tonight is burger night at the sports bar. Eileen makes the best and biggest burgers in the county. And every second pitcher of beer is free. And today you have something to celebrate. A city slicker broke down with his show-off car. You don't have that much experience with German tin. But the car eventually purred like a Bavarian cat again. And the snob had to bleed for it. And you finally have the last installment for your garage together. Tomorrow you'll go to Pete at the bank and then tear up the loan agreement. And you'll spend today a local round on that fact. It's only half the price today. Hehehe.

You're the hottest studs in town. Rumor has it that you've bedded every woman under 40. Many women brag that you got them pregnant. You like to jerk off to these stories. Preferably as a couple. You keep your trucker hats on. The one or other dried cum stain can tell stories.

A few weeks ago there was some chick who took pictures of you and shared them on one of those shitty social networks or whatever. She got in touch a few days later and said that the response had been amazing or something. She could turn you into stars. You don't want to be stars. You're already studs. That's quite enough for you. But the good thing is that a whole lot of guys are now coming to your place who want to be fucked by you. And you don't need to be told twice. Your food is on Hank. Because of you, his motel is almost always fully booked since the chick's visit.

The sports bar is still called "Eileen's". Just like it's still called "Hank's Motel". They haven't owned it all for a long time. It's all yours. It may not be obvious to your bro and you, but you're by far the richest people in town. It all started when some rich guy you two were shagging in Hank's presidential suite had a heart attack shortly afterwards. And left you both a million dollars each. There were several cases like that. Inheritances, gifts. One guy even wanted to adopt you both. Shit, you had a stressful time. The workshop during the day, you had to look after your fans in the evening. That damn chick. Until her visit, you had a really relaxed life.

Hell, your life is as relaxed as it can be. There are so many people in this village who owe you a hell of a lot. Literally. And figuratively. You might not have as much energy as you used to. But you still have a hell of a lot of sex!

Caren comes over and asks if you'd like another round of beer. And if you want something to eat. Damn, a big portion of chicken wings and a pitcher of beer would be just the thing right now. But before the food arrives, you have to take a piss. And actually get rid of any other pressure. You glance in the direction of the toilets. The stall has just become free. You signal to your bro that he should follow you straight away. As an appetizer, he gets a load of what's currently building up in your balls. Good things never change!

Quickie Foods & Snacks

UPDATED: If you downloaded already, please redownload the updated Granola and Protein bar/box files as the bars were missing. Thanks to @lera-danyash2021 and @desiree-uk for catching! I also fixed a string issue in the QuickFoodsnSnacks package if you want to redownload that one too.

This was something I made a couple of years ago for a family I was playing that was poor so they were eating cereal most of the time. I have the mod where you have to buy everything to cook or eat anything from the fridge but didn't want to have to buy 10 cereals all the time so I used the idea from Arsil's Food Maker and applied it to a cereal box, then made some granola bars to boot.

You can purchase them from the grocery store (General Section) as well as in the Buy Mode catalog. You can read the label which will tell you nonsense + how many servings are left. Once it's empty, you'll have to dispose of the box.

Cereal: There are 6 servings in each box. Sugary cereal will give you a sugar rush but it also might give you a toothache. The cereal box objects are from ATS Sandy and I just added my script to it. (Note: When placed in the world for the first time, it may show up as red, you need to go into CAST and just switch presets and the texture will show up.)

Granola/Protein Bars: There are 6 servings in each. Both will give you a bit of hunger increase, though the granola bar more so. The protein bar will give your Sim an hour of Adrenaline Rush which boosts Athletic Skill so it's best to eat before a workout. If you are fatigued, it will remove the fatigue moodlet.

Requirements: CCLoader for the custom food (sugary cereal) and the University EP because the bars are based on the candy bar.

Download here.

Thanks to ATS Sandy for the generous use of her awesome stuff. And Arsil for the original idea and the code snippets I pulled from their mod.

Hello!! I saw you were doing match ups and that's so cool! I was hoping to participate if that's okay! Could I possibly get both male and female matchup? No poly please !

I'm nonbinary but i am physically fem, 5'5, with a bright red mullet that's like sorta grown out? Soft looking. My fashion sense tends to vary depending on my mood. Goth one day, cottagecore the next type of thing. One thing that's always a constant is my spiky earrings, kinda like the Fangs preset from the game! Necklace and my two bracelets. If I ever take them off I feel disgusting and off

Positive personality traits wise, I'm caring and selfless. I tend to be pretty cheerful and optimistic, goofing off. I think I'm smart? The most basic things tend to confuse me but then I'll bust out some complex knowledge lmao. I'm pretty creative too! I create stuff out of basically trash lol. I made a whole shield and sword sheath from recycled cardboard once.

Negative traits wise, I'm overly selfless, tending to put others before me. I'm very forgetful but thats cause of adhd. I can be messy and far too loud. Oblivious to a lot of things. I'm a big scaredy cat too which makes it hard to enjoy some stuff. I also tend to hide my negative emotions

My love language is definitely quality time and gift giving. Heavy on gift giving.

I have all kinds of hobbies but I'm not particularly good at any of them. Like video games, writing, arts and crafts, painting. And active stuff too like skateboarding. But uh. To be completely honest my main hobby is just sleeping forever lmfao

Likes: savory foods, coffee, aesthetic stuff, all kinds of animals, dressing up, reading, anything adrenaline inducing like rollercoasters, rainstorms

Dislikes: i cant eat any kind of fish/seafood I will gag, spiders, snakes, being vulnerable, people being mean (I seriously don't understand how people can be mean), the dark especially if I'm alone

Thank you so much! I hope that wasn't too much- or that I missed any requirements lol. Have a great week!!

A/N: Okay, for you @lord-westley … I’m thinking for romantic matchups your best bets would be… Gale (Male) and Karlach (Female)! 

Gale is a great match for you, as he’s quite similar personality wise. He’s kind and selfless; smart but also somehow clueless? He’s got a good spirit, and an old soul. He wants someone he can share his life with, and thinks you’re just the person to do that with. 

He thinks you look fierce, for real, he’s almost intimidated by how good you look, especially your hair. It’s bright and bold and something he’d never have the courage to try. It suits you, and it makes him feel all the more special for being with you. 

His style is fairly consistent, and he’s not the most fashion savvy, but he does appreciate a good look when he sees one. Be prepared for a bunch of horrible puns, and awkward attempts at flirtatious compliments. He wants to tell you how much he loves your look, it’s just that it comes off wrong more often than not. Please don’t be mistaken- he really does think you look great. It’s just that loving words aren't his strong suit. 

He loves how caring and selfless you are. He quite admires your capacity for compassion. He likes to think of himself as selfless, but he’s also aware that’s not the truth. But for you, it is. And he’s so honored someone as pure and kind hearted as you would choose him as your partner. 

He’s also very grateful you’re smart. At least, that you’re smart enough to sort of get some of what he says about magic. He has a tendency to infodump, and he really likes it when you make comments or ask questions that let him know you’re listening. And your creativity, good heavens! He’s so impressed. He thought as a wizard, he’d be able to think outside of the box, but his imagination is no match for yours. Thanks to your builds and use of garbage, he’s starting to rethink the way he goes about spell casting and brewing potions. Your perspectives are actually helping make him a better wizard. 

He does worry that you’re too selfless, though. He’s been used by powerful beings before, and he’d hate to see you get hurt similarly. If he thinks someone is taking advantage of your kindness, he won’t hesitate to bring it up to you. He just wants you to know your time and effort has value, and it should never be taken for granted. 

He’s understanding when it comes to your fear. He thinks it's rather healthy to be afraid, especially of death. It shows you have a lust and respect for life. He’s glad you understand the enormity of what it means to live, because he wants you to protect your life so that the two of you can grow old and gray together. 

He will give you gifts! A lot of them are favors done via spells, but a good amount of them are physical presents. (Many of which may have previously been magic items that have since had their magic drained, but hey! It’s the thought that counts, right?!)

He loves savory foods! He can’t wait to show you his extensive wine cellar and kitchen in his tower in Waterdeep, and feed you his especially _ sauce. It’s full of flavor, it’ll knock your socks right off! 

He may not be a huge fan of adrenaline inducing activities: he much prefers the safe mental exercise of a good book. But he will join you on occasion, so long as you promise him it’s mostly safe. (He may or may not ask Shadowheart to cast Guidance on the two of you before you leave, but then again, he’s just covering his bases!)

Thanks to his arcane knowledge, you’ll never be in the dark. He can conjure light to ensure you’re not afraid. And he vows to always be by your side, so long as you’ll have him, protecting you, just as you protect him. 

Karlach is also a great match for you! She’s a very upbeat person, and she loves your loud and creative energy, it makes her feel like you can keep up with her and match her own outgoing personality. 

She loves your style, especially the bright red hair. That is her color after all. And she’s obsessed with all the new looks you combine and create. Everyday she’s basically shouting at the other members of your party, ‘Come look at how hot/cute my partner looks!’. It’s a bit over the top and embarrassing at first, but she means it in the best, most sincere way. If you ask her to stop, she’ll stop. But otherwise, be prepared for compliments, like ALL of the time. 

She loves goofing off with you, pulling pranks and just having a little fun in between missions. She’s a firm believer in taking breaks- it keeps you sane. She’s fairly intelligent too, I mean, she’s not a scholar or anything, but she’s got a good head on her shoulders and so do you. 

She thinks it’s incredible how you can make something totally new out of garbage, or old unwanted scraps. It’s both your resourcefulness and creativity she finds impressive. 

She has no problems with your being messy or loud, even if other people might. If they have an issue with it, she’ll join in, and make it a point to be messier and louder than you. And if anyone still has a problem, she’ll take care of it for you. She’s a big strong woman, and she understands how scary confirmation can be. She does her best to make the world around you a little less frightening. 

Kalrach strikes me as someone who would enjoy doing almost any hobby outside of being forced to fight. I mean, she also really loves a good battle, but she’s down for basically whatever. She’s so ready to try everything- to make up for all the time she missed down in Avernus. She’ll do anything or go anywhere with you. She’s especially excited for any adrenaline inducing activities. As a Barbarian, she is 100% there. No questions asked. Also the idea of skateboarding blows her mind. (Pretty sure that doesn’t exactly translate to DND, but if there was anyway in Faerun willing to ride a board with little wheels up and down steep hills or ramps, she’d be your girl.) 

Even though she’s adventurous, she’s also cool with just chilling- taking some time to enjoy your company. She thinks you’re adorable when you sleep, and can’t help but want to take naps with you, so long as her engine is fixed enough, and you don’t mind being warm. 

She’s fine with you not eating seafood, it’s not that big of a deal to her. You like what you like, right? And she gets that spiders can be pretty creepy- especially the ones in the Underdark. She promises to never make you visit there, and should any of those creatures try and get you topside, don’t worry, she won't let them lay a hand on you. 

Despite being a fierce fighter, she’s got a heart of gold. She hates bullies, and people who abuse others. She knows what it’s like to be on the receiving end of that, and it feels awful. She’d never want you to feel that way. So gods help anyone in Baldur’s Gate who tries and bullies you for whatever reason. They’ve just got themselves a _ tiefling to answer to. 

Karalch thinks you’re wonderful, and so sweet. You’re precious to her and she promises to protect you. You make her so happy. She’s so glad she’s met you. 

...

I hope you like it!

do you edit your photos at all?

nope! i shoot on a nikon coolpix 3200 set to -1.7 exposure compensation. sometimes i go up to -1.3 at night, but rarely above that. i underexpose because the nikon is like many digital cameras in that its automatic settings are too bright, but underexposing makes the colors pop. since sometime in 2020 i have been experimenting with setting the white balance to the 'incandescent' preset - this emphasizes the blues and cooler tones in the scene.

i'm glad you asked this, actually, because it gives me an opportunity to talk about why i chose this specific camera.

i come from a background of shooting film - at the time of this writing i have a bag with 216 rolls left to process, shot between 2014ish to 2021. i was attracted to 35mm and 110 film because i was sick of computers and wanted something with that elusive x-quality, a warmth/intimacy that i saw was lacking in the images from my digital camera. i shot a cornucopia of film throughout high school, on a million different point and shoots. (the highlight of my life at that point was when i bought 5 olympus xa's for a dollar each at an estate sale - the deceased was a camera collector & there was a canon room, a nikon room, an olympus room...)

but i look at photography as a diary, and the detail with which i document things was adding up to an overstuffed carpetbag of film to develop. around 2018 i began to wonder if i could exploit the very thing about digital images that i was trying to avoid, the cold, clinical look. i began looking at product photography (the canned food isle in your grocery store is pure unadulterated inspiration if you pay attention to the label designs), kitchen disease and a whooooole lot of the new topographics photographers.

at the same time i was sifting through the local thrift stores searching for the perfect digital camera. i first found a sony dsc-s750 at a pawn shop in 2018, and liked the images it gave back a lot. (different looking results than the coolpix, and 7 megapixels, but equally compelling - i would totally shoot one again) but i wanted something i could run on rechargable aa batteries, and that was a tad less - for lack of a better term - modern. eventually a quick 'test' flash shot of the glass countertop revealed to me my new best friend and constant companion, the nikon coolpix 3200, which i took home for $6. folks, this is from that magical era of ccd digicams when they got everything right. i didn't have a computer for a couple years but i would take my coolpix and a littany of 1 gb sd cards to the local library and dump the .jpgs directly to tumblr/flickr. if you set the exposure compensation to -1.7, you won't need to do any editing. this camera manages to be digital and still cater to the part of me that doesn't want to deal with computers by giving natural looking, soulful colors right out of the gate.

a word of warning to anyone looking to follow in my footsteps: there was a later model coolpix that looks like the 3200 but is 4 megapixels. the noise reduction nikon used in this camera makes the jpgs look wayyyy too soft. if you're looking to get one of these cameras the 3200 is where it's at. it's served me well - i've ran through four of them so far. (it's a very tough camera, but it was also released in march of 2004 and sometimes they develop trouble extending the lens after being sat on, moshed into or otherwise mistreated.) also, be sure to set the quality of the jpgs to the highest setting in the menu and the (gorgeous, borderline 16mm-like) video setting to 640x480.

happy shooting! thanks for your message ~.~

How does one actually. Play. Qud.

I've tried three times, years ago. Made characters that seemed practical, simple. Walked around town and talked to people, got some trip advice. Left town and went to a nearby location, entered a fight with a wild dog or cat, and was promptly torn to shreds.

What am I missing? Is there a secret "suck" stat I maxed out?

the first few levels in qud are the most dangerous, at least until you hit the late game and things get really fucked up. if you can get a character to like, level 12 or so, they're probably gonna last a while. so here's how you avoid getting rent asunder before then

tactics

accept that you're going to get rent asunder. you'll die to inexperience, you'll die to bad luck, you'll lose a character and remember a couple hours later that you were carrying something that would've saved them the whole time. the only thing you can carry between runs is your experience and wiliness as a player, and the best way to build that up is to go out and learn the hard way. every death is a mistake you won't make again.

always be ready to run away. the sprint ability is your best friend, and anything that enables you to haul ass more effectively (such as teleportation or improvements to movement speed) is valuable. pick your battles with care.

rest whenever you're hurt. you can't run out of food, and you're unlikely to run out of water. time is on your side.

never let them surround you. if you come downstairs into the middle of a group of enemies, pull back to the previous strata and bait them up the stairs, one or two at a time. on top of the obvious danger of being surrounded, a lot of weak enemies are swarmers, meaning they get bonuses to hit the more of them are piling onto you at once.

keep sightlines in mind. if ranged enemies can't see you, they'll have no choice but to close in. this is easier inside or underground; outdoors, you can lurk behind trees in the right biomes, but your best bet is to bait foes across screen borders.

builds

don't overspecialise when picking your starting stats. you always want a decent spread, since even stats that your build isn't focused around will mess you up if they're really low (e.g. dumping intelligence and then barely having any skill points to work with, or dumping ego and everything costing more). only minmax if it would be funny.

when considering what skills you want to learn, value survivability over lethality. simple utility skills like wayfaring or cooking can save your life.

true kin start with better stats, better gear, and more skill points, making them resilient starting characters. mutants are more vulnerable in the early game, but can attain greater heights later on (which goes double for espers), so it's up to you which you prefer. either way, use the preset builds designed for survivability for your first few characters.

the early levels

always start in joppa when you're new. this isn't just for the quests; it's the most burgleable town in qud. just be sure not to open any chests without making sure that you're alone and the door's shut. if you get artefacts by doing this, you can complete argyve's initial quest without leaving town, which gets you a risk-free first level.

you can get another few easy levels outside of joppa - glowfish are near-harmless and award 25xp until you're level 5, which is a fair amount that early.

spend some time exploring the salt marshes in general. finding ruins or lairs grants xp rewards, and if you feel up to it you can build up your character by exploring the more notable ones. just be careful with lairs, some of those legendary creatures are bastards.

speaking of quests, don't go to red rock right away unless you're confident your character can handle a lot of close-quarters work. build up a few levels first, around 4-5, and then approach with care.

get the quest to visit the six day stilt as soon as you start the game. (if you leave it too long there's a chance argyve will get into a brawl with the mechanimist pilgrim, and argyve generally wins). you're usually good to make the journey across the salt flats once you've done red rock, but bring plenty of water, learn the wayfaring skill first, and run like hell if you see dawngliders. once at the stilt, you get a big hit of xp for completing the pilgrim's quest. on top of the variety of merchants here, you can gain even more xp by meditating on stories of resheph with the priest on your left (gained by looking at shrines; there's one in joppa) or donating books to the library in the screen to the north. these two sources of xp scale with level, so they remain useful throughout the game.

Uhm chronivac support?

I have a bit of a personal request. You see, I love body hair and facial hair. i L O V E it. But i am at a bit of an impasse. I have not a whole lot of body hair and I can't really grow anything on my face that isn't patchy.

Most preset I see only gives 5 o'clock shadow so I wondered if they're were any presets or package I could use to make sure I grow hairy and have a luxurious beard and a nice stache?

I want to be beastly, bearish. I want to be able to stay warm withou any shirts on. I want to be so hairy that I need to comb my fur.

The first thing you notice in the morning when you brush your teeth is your hair under your armpits. You had trimmed them a few days ago… And now there is a bush again. Shit, you're already late anyway, the first lecture starts in 20 minutes, you'll take care of that later.

During the lecture you are totally unfocused. What do you care about European history… You are interested in your dick. It is permanently hard. Shit, you mumble an apology and disappear to the toilet. You've never jerked off on campus. But once is the first time. As you open your pants, you smell a waft of sweat and musk. Your cock is hairy, your balls are hairy, your pubic hair is bushy. It doesn't take you long to cum. And your cum clumps the hair around your cock. You rub your smeared hand on your fine rib undershirt. Fuck, didn't you have a normal t-shirt on today? No, you always wear wifebeater. You open the second button of your button-down oxford shirt, so that your undershirt is visible. There are a few hairs curling on your chest.

With effort you have struggled through the morning. Now you're hungry. A ravenous appetite. But not for the vegan organic crap from the cafeteria. You get into your Prius and drive to a diner. It smells like barbecue and frying fat. Yes, that's what you're hungry for now. A huge portion of spare ribs and fries. And a large Coke. With sugar. No diet crap. As the waitress serves the portion, you can already see that the meal is going to be a mess. The sauce looks delicious. And there's plenty of it. To be on the safe side, you take off your shirt and hang it over the back of the chair. Most of the other guests seem to be long-distance drivers, they don't care. The waitress doesn't either. After the third portion is served, she even pats you on the head and says she loves a big lad with a good appetite. The patting feels strange. You run your sauce-smeared hand first over your stained undershirt and then over your head. "Wayul, it gist feels lahk whut uh bald head feels lahk," you mumble to yourself as the food rests hang in your beard.

The third serving is also your last. Fuck, now you're finally full. Your belly is bulging out between the waistband of your jeans and your wifebeater. You tuck your hairy belly and let out a mega burp. Yelling, laughing, applause in the diner. You laugh too. In a booming bass. You also have to fart. But you go to the bathroom to do it. You also have to piss before you have to go back on the road. You wash out your sauce-smeared undershirt briefly in the sink and hang it on your belt. It dries in the breeze afterwards.

Back at your seat, there's a college boy. Clean-shaven with a freshly ironed shirt. Wimp! You tell him he's sitting in your chair. He looks up at you.

The arrogant snob says that maybe it used to be your chair and if your seat wasn't on some combine. You bend down to him, pull your jeans vest off the back of his chair and maybe you wouldn't have had to press your armpit on his face. But you're just a dumb, clumsy trucker, not a cool college boy. You bend down to him again after you have put on the vest, burp in his face and mumble an "'Scuse may, mister".

You say goodbye to Maggie with a kiss on the cheek. She is your favorite waitress. It's always nice when a tour brings you here. But now you have to go. Your 36-ton baby has to get to Austin today.

Best bears always @once-a-cub

Three Lessons in Creativity from Black Chefs

To dream up new dishes or just keep cooking, chefs have to find ways to bolster creativity. Cooking in and of itself represents a certain dichotomy; it’s a rigid process that involves precise measurements and preset allotments of time, yet at the same time, it’s an art form that involves the free-flowing exchange of creativity and innovation that is necessary to solve some of the industry's more complex problems. During your time in a culinary arts program, you will master the mechanics behind preparing meals but where does the soul come from? Here are some tips for finding inspiration in the kitchen:

1.      Don’t Force Creativity

When you are trying to decide what kind of dish you want to cook, it can be difficult to force yourself into coming up with a specific number of ideas before you even know what direction you want to head in. Trying to force creativity is going to usually backfire on you. One of the best things that you can do when trying to come up with new dishes is to allow your passion for cooking and creating great recipes to shine through and inspire the decisions that you make. Sometimes creativity comes easily but other times it takes patience, so if your creativity isn't at its peak during certain time periods then don't get discouraged because it will happen eventually!

2.      Take a look around for inspirational cues

Culinary art has always been compared to the arts - from dance to music! The elements, like the notes and chords of a song or the notes and details of a building structure, may provide skilled black chefs with inspirational cues for their own dishes. This is why fine dining restaurants have waiters who are well-versed in the arts and history. Meanwhile, when chefs need an idea for the color palette of a dish, they turn to painters - just as great artists do when they want inspiration for their canvas or materials. Just as in other arts, colors and lines are incredibly defining; so too will they become within culinary arts! The chef is so inspired by art that he teaches it himself at night while studying architectural practices during the day! For example, sketched drawings can be a great way to improve memory! Several studies have shown that drawing has helpful applications to our learning and concentration.

Great art comes from mastery. Mastery comes from deep specialization.

Mastery comes from deep specialization. Select a specific area of focus, and limit yourself to exploring only that area of focus for an extended period of time. You will need to develop unique skills in this area that are hard for competitors to easily replicate. Take any opportunity to master tools or techniques related to your specific area of mastery, and practice regularly so you can quickly incorporate these new skills into your daily workflow.

Just because a technique is old, doesn’t mean it’s obsolete.

Just because a technique is old, doesn’t mean it’s obsolete. You should have a sense of the history of time-tested techniques for cooking or for any new craft you learn. Look at how things have been done in the past and see what noteworthy procedures can be brought to bear on the issues you face today.

Techniques are not always new. There is usually an ongoing evolution of learning and knowing how to cook something better, faster, healthier, and more efficiently. Don't overlook older methods; sometimes they will help you excel at cooking delectable food today as suggested by Black chefs!

5.      Mixing Up Fancy Cocktails

Cocktails are versatile in nature. The right cocktails can go with any kind of food you're serving. A Warming Citrus Martini is quite versatile and a perfect drink to serve during the fall season when there's a chill in the air, while the Summer Sangria Cocktail will add a festive touch to your summer cookouts and parties. Both of these cocktails could be served on their own as welcome drinks to guests before dinner or as an appetizer for all sorts of finger foods that you've made yourself or bought from your local market.

What are the Most Popular Kitchen Tools?

New Post has been published on https://thekitchnpro.com/what-are-the-most-popular-kitchen-tools/

What are the Most Popular Kitchen Tools?

The kitchen tools are one of the most important rooms in the house, but it’s also among the most expensive rooms to furnish. That’s why you want to make sure you use your kitchen tools wisely and buy only those that are truly necessary. There are so many different kitchen tools on the market today, which makes it hard to decide which ones you really need and which ones are just there to take up space in your kitchen cabinet.

Dish Drying Rack

Instead of leaving dishes in a sink full of water to soak, consider using a dish drying rack. It will keep your plates and glasses from sitting in standing water, making them less likely to become cloudy. Also, you won’t have to spend time scrubbing away stubborn food that won’t come off with just a rinse. And if you haven’t heard of them before, multi-use kitchen gadgets like baking sheets and muffin tins are also good alternatives for drying dishes. These can help save time—and space—when you don’t have room in your cupboards for multiple racks. Best of all, they’re usually less expensive than buying something specifically designed for drying dishes.

Kitchen Utensils

A kitchen utensil is a tool used in food preparation. Kitchen utensils are usually made of plastic, wood, or metal. They are typically hand-held and designed to allow for handling of hot foods as well as cold foods and liquids. Some cooking utensils may be multi-purpose tools with several functions. Examples include meat forks (which often have holes in one end), spatulas, slotted spoons (in which foods can rest while they drain), and turners. Food preparation utensils may also serve double duty as kitchen decorations. Wooden spoons and spatulas may be decorated by sanding their handles or painting their designs onto them; metallic serving implements such as tongs may be fashioned into decorative bookends.

Vegetable Peeler

If you buy fruit and vegetables with their skins on, you’ll probably use a vegetable peeler at some point. With so many different kinds of vegetable peelers to choose from, it’s hard to know which one is best. Our recommendation is to get a classic swivel-blade variety that features various sizes of blades for different kinds of produce. You’ll be able to peel everything from bananas and kiwis to potatoes and zucchini without needing any attachments or special gadgets. While we love ceramic peelers (and have previously recommended them), metal is more common because it’s sturdier and more functional.

Ceramic peelers also tend to chip easier than metal ones. Best of all, ceramic peels don’t rust like metal varieties do, making them excellent for storage in wet areas where other implements might rust away. Another great thing about these types of peels is that they’re low maintenance; just give them a quick scrub before using each time and rinse afterward and you won’t have to worry about discoloration or buildup.

Air Fryer

Have you ever wanted to eat French fries but didn’t want to feel guilty about it after? The solution is here! An air fryer is a kitchen tool that can do everything from baking cookies, roasting vegetables, cooking bacon, and deep-frying foods. It uses hot air to cook food instead of oil for a low-fat alternative that maintains flavor and texture. These tools have become very popular in recent years. However, before jumping on board with anyone model make sure it has all of your favorite features. Some come with adjustable temperature controls while others include preset buttons. So you don’t have to figure out how long foods take to cook yourself.

Spatula

Cooking spatulas are a must-have in any kitchen. Spatulas allow you to easily spread, flip, and lift foods in your skillet or on your griddle. Choose spatulas with flexible silicone heads for easy maneuvering and metal or wooden handles for sturdy gripping. When it comes to food prep, having a variety of sizes on hand allows you to cook anything you want with ease. If you have only one spatula, we recommend buying a larger one that can handle all your cooking needs from turning pancakes to flipping burgers.

For smaller tasks like spreading mayonnaise on sandwiches or cookies, choose one that is thin but still strong enough to perform well at high temperatures. 18/8 stainless steel knife block. A good set of knives should be sharpened before use, kept clean, dry, and stored properly. The knife block prevents dulling from contact with other knives or utensils and keeps your knives safe during storage (think kids). The best knife blocks are made from 18/8 stainless steel which prevents rust build up around your blades that can cause pitting. These types of blocks often come with a magnet strip attached so they fit securely on kitchen counters and prevent sliding when preparing food.

Frying Pan

  The frying pan is a round-bottomed cooking vessel, usually made of metal. It is used for sautéing or frying foods on both sides, to cook foods such as omelets and fried eggs, among others. The term frying pan covers a wide variety of pots and pans with varying shapes and materials but having flat bottoms. Although sometimes they have handles (like skillets), they generally do not have lids. If a lid is present, it will be so dome-shaped that it serves only to keep food from splattering against the ceiling rather than preventing access to any steam or smoke given off by boiling food below.

Baking Tray

  A baking tray is a rectangular-shaped tray used to cook foods. It’s basically a platter with raised edges, which make it easy to transport baked goods. Look for heavy-duty non-stick aluminum or stainless steel baking trays that have plenty of space to fit your recipe’s ingredients (like a 14×14 sheet cake pan) without crowding. We use our baking trays often for cooking pancakes and roasting vegetables. But you can also use them for baking cookies, brewing beer, searing meat, and more! They’ll keep your food from spilling onto your oven racks while still making cleanup a breeze.

Conclusion

 If you’re looking for new ways to cook at home, then these are some of the most popular kitchen tools that you should have. A wooden spoon, a wooden cutting board, and a chef’s knife can take your cooking game to new heights. Cookware will keep you from burning food in those troublesome pots and pans that no one wants to use. And baking supplies like measuring cups, baking sheets, rolling pins, and muffin tins will make it easier than ever to bake tasty treats at home.
