content: Full disclosure, I more-or-less followed the recipe by the wee lass fromWhat's For Tea?on Youtube.I wanted to start with a baseline, but I'll be adding to it in subsequent versions. I think some fresh chilli, finely chopped would go well in this!Super simple recipe with very few ingredients. I went with her suggestion of using a shortcrust base with a puff pastry top. Very nice. The only thing I added was a good crack of black pepper just before spreading the beef.Recipe video:This is how mine turned out:

content: this looks like a European enchilada, they use ground beef with onion only for a filling, at least if you follow the recommended recipe on some boxes. imo the best kind is canned sauce with pan fried ground beef and onionfor people scared of meat and pastery, this might be a good one to try (other then jamacian patties), onion and meat mix is very tasty. i would not be surprised this would make a good enchilada if you added the sauce and some cheddar on top lolthe only concern that might effect quality is the onion, if you over cook it you get a french onion soup taste, if you cook it less its more onionyhttps://www.reddit.com/r/Cooking/comments/58m3b3/how_to_sautee_onions_without_making_them_too_sweet/I am not sure if a sweeter onion is better or worse for this dish. For a enchillada beef onion I would try to make it as non sweet as possible, but with this pastry, I am thinking.. could this recipe be improved by using heavily cooked sweet onion cook down ( french onion soup base).. I feel like sweet might be good for the pastry chosen in the video?I always wanted to use that premade thin pastry dough stuff more often, I know it can make some really great advanced meals.. doing those DIY can finance some new RF equipment .. some standard uses of precooked frozen onion preps might add some interesting powers to the kitchen

content: I tried my hand at this simple recipe from this former royal chef.It's basically pancake with jam, cream and sugar.From the description of the video:Makes 6 portions1 cup flour1/4 tsp baking powder1/4 tsp salt1/2 tsp baking soda (bicarb of soda)1 tsp vanilla3 eggs4 TBS melted butter2 cups milk1/4 cup vegetable oil (for cooking the crepes)1 cup jam (your choice of fruit)2 cups heavy cream, whipped1/4 cup powdered sugarIn a large bowl add the flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda and whisk until combined. In a separate large bowl add the eggs, melted butter, vanilla and milk and whisk together. Add the liquids to the dry ingredients and whisk until there are no lumps.Add a teaspoon of vegetable oil to a frying pan and heat until smoking hot. Carefully pour enough batter into the pan and swirl the pan until the batter coats the bottom of the pan (it only needs to be 1/4 inch thick) Cook until golden brown on the bottom and then flip the crepe and cook until golden brown on both sides. Slide the crepe onto a plate while you make more and then allow all to cool.Lay out the cold crepes and spread the jam onto half a side of each. Top with the whipped cream and fold over the top of the crepe onto the cream. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.I've made some changes to suit the availability of ingredients in my kitchen and reduced the recipe to just 2 portions.Since I don't normally eat margarine or butter, I used vegetable oil instead. Next time I will try butter. Instead of jam I used guava jelly. Instead of heavy/whipped cream(36% fat), I used light/single cream (17% fat). Instead of powdered sugar, I used granulated sugar. This is the result:

content: So this forum might actually have good information on Rarebit, which seems to be a beer-cheese mixture.I made a beer-cheese using about 120mL of guiness left over after marinating a bunch of steaks, few tablespoons of butter, too much flour, some salt, heavy cream, water and smoked gruyere cheese with a little bit of left over provolone mozzarella pizza cheese.The resulting mixture is a little stringy (I am rusty on rue sauce things, I usually don't make it because I was being too cheap to buy cream), but anyway, its pretty good. I see I can possibly use it to make a rarebit sandwich/meal.What are some recommendations ? Do australians eat this one, it seems to be popular on the left side of europe.I tried the dip I made just smeared on some flat 'pizza style' bread (not for pizza, its like a sandwich bread inspired by detroit pizza or something), and its pretty good. I thought it would be good if you put fried dried onions on top in an attempt to make it crispy (the ones sold like croutons for salads), but it is actually a little too bitter. I did not try to toast it yet, suggestions welcome

Maybe 1/2 tsp of each for 150ml of beer, it starts to taste like any old cheese spread when the soy sauce and mustard.

content: I have been avoiding this section of the forum but cooking and food is a long term love and passionNice simple one for Good Friday if that floats your boat or another time the opportunity arises.Ratio I use but vary to taste.10g of Pepper (preferably Szechuan but black is fine)20g of Salt120g of flour mix. I use about even 1/3 Rice, Plain and Panko crumbs but just Rice is ok for a no gluten variation.**** FRESH Calamari or squid tubes. Frozen is old boots and poor flavour by comparison. Lucky for me it gets caught 10-20km from here. Buy it cleaned as the pain of DIY here isn't worth it. Slice into 5-6mm rings with a very well sharpened knife and drop into some milk for 10-24 hours. Small fillets of a firm fish can be used in much the same way too.Heat your fresh clean oil to 190C and if you are doing chips they go in first as the Calamari takes just on 2 minutes to properly cook any longer and you are heading for boot leather. It won't colour much with the Rice flour so this is not a good guide.Depending on locality this is actually a cheap feed. Large serve is way cheaper than Beef or Lamb and a bit better than Chicken.Drain well serve with Lemon and optional Tartare Sauce and even a bit more salt to harden the arteries some more. Cold Beer for additional goodness

Cheap and easy tray baked "fried rice" - Page 1

content: This is a recipe I've used a few times now. You can basically adapt it to whatever you have in the fridge or pantry. This is my version. You'll need a baking tray about 20 x 30 cm in size.Ingredients:300g (uncooked) brown rice (you can use any rice you have on-hand, Jasmine or Basmati work well too)2 cloves garlic (crushed/minced)2 teaspoons finely grated fresh ginger (whole fresh ginger freezes well, just grate off what you need)625 ml boiling water2 carrots, coarsely grated (I don't bother peeling them)75g frozen peas75g frozen corn kernels100g chopped bacon or ham (if you have leftover chicken, you could throw this in too)3 shallots (spring onion), white/light green parts finely chopped, dark green bits sliced diagonally for serving)2-ish tablespoons of soy sauce or tamari (I just free-pour)4-5 eggs (depending on how much you like egg)Sriracha (to serve)Olive oilFresh chilli (optional; finely chopped)Method:1. Preheat oven to 180°C (fan forced) or 200°C conventional. Place the uncooked rice into a baking tray (about 20 x 30cm in size). Add the ginger, garlic (and fresh chilli if using) and pour in the oil and boiling water. Cover the tray tightly with aluminium foil and bake for 45 minutes.2. Uncover the dish and stir through the carrot, corn, peas, bacon/ham, light part of the shallots and soy sauce. Once again, cover tightly with foil and bake for another 10 minutes.3. Remove the tray from the oven and discard the foil. Make 4-5 shallow indentations into the rice using the back or a large spoon or measuring cup. Crack each of the eggs into a small bowl and lightly whisk one-by-one. Pour one egg into each of the indentations. Return the tray to the oven and cook, uncovered, for about 5-7 minutes or until the egg is just set.4. Roughly chop the egg whilst in the tray using a knife and then gently stir everything together. You should get "ribbons" of egg through the rice (it's fine if some bits are still a bit runny). Serve with the dark green bits of the shallot and drizzle with sriracha and some extra soy/tamari.Notes:You can basically add or omit any vegetables you like. If I have leftover broccoli or broccolini, I'll chop that up fairly finely (stems and all) and throw it in at step 2. If you want it super spicy, add more chilli.Snow peas or sugar snap peas in their shells work well too, just slice them up before adding.

content: I plodded into a nice recipe last week, putting it here partly so as not to forget it.The key ingredients are fresh ginger, and orange oil.Canned beans (can put the contents directly into a saucepan, or drain them partially)The following quantities are per can of beans.Half of a ginger "knuckle", finely chopped1-2 drops (0.25 mL) orange oil (you could substitute orange zest, but I'm unsure of the amount. Several oranges' worth)5 mL coriander powder5 mL ground chili (Ancho, or paprika)5 mL turmeric powder5 mL cumin powder5 mL Umeboshi vinegar (pickled plum juice)0.5 mL fenugreek powder (Methi)0.5 mL lemongrass powder (Serehpoeder)2 mL tamarind paste(I like complex flavors, so I added more things! A dash of "orange spice sauce" and a pinch of Bell's turkey seasoning, but you don't need them)Stir in a saucepan over low heat. Barely simmer for 1/2 hour for flavors to meld. Serve with beef stew, meat casserole, or eggs.This is about 100 times better than what is known as "Boston baked beans", flavored primarily with molasses.Since this is an international forum, I have converted to SI units. I use customary units in the kitchen, of course.

content: One of my favorite recipes with chicken uses chicken breasts.1) cut chicken breast in half2) season with salt and pepper3) oil a good cooking tray (non stick non worn out) with canola oil4) place chicken down on cooking tray or on a plate5) smear with mayonnaise6) pour a good amount of bread crumbs on it, planko is much preffered7) place the chicken upside down so it is resting on bread crumbs, a careful operationput mayonnaise and bread crumbs on the other side of the chicken breast, gently pat it down9) try to get rid of excess amounts of bread crumbs, the thing is delicate so you only need to crumb it while its on the baking sheet that it will cook on, I usually just let them burn, you need alot, so its hard to put them on the chicken without spilling over. It should be like asphalt w/excess gravel.10) bake at 350 until the crumbs are well toasted11) serve with ketchup and french fries. You need to let it cool for a little bit, be fast with a good sharp implement to remove it from the baking pan with minimum scraping in one piece and usually cut it on the plate you are going to eat from, its not very sturdy.This actually works, you need to use a food thermometer if you are not confident, but it is something you can do that will only dirty the baking sheet and the cutting board without need of more plates and stuff to deal with eggs. The secret is to get a good spoon so you can dollop the chicken breasts with mayonnaise then spread it with a another spoon as not to contaminate the jar it came from. It has a slightly bigger propensity to stick if you perform the first side on the oiled cooking tray since it was in contact with raw meat but the point of this recipe is ease.This is not as good as trying to make a real cotlet but it works pretty good and its easy. It goes down extremely well with french fries that are crispy. You can over bake the chicken and it will be alright because its otherwise greasy.I like to cut the chicken breast in half in the plastic tray it comes in and put it directly on an oiled baking sheet to reduce cleanup. I typically soak the sheets after wards, they do take a bit of damage I think, from the breadcrumbs, but IMO its worth it. The bottom piece does not come off really perfect but once you get the temp and time right it works.

Add 3-4 heaped tablespoons of the curry spice mix and fry gently for 6 minutes stirring frequently. If mixture gets dry, add a couple of tablespoons of water. At this point, the mixture should be at the consistency of a paste. Add the meat cubes and brown the meat, continuing to make sure the mixture does not get too dry and burn.Add the wine and lime juice, deglaze the pan and make sure nothing remains stuck to the bottom of the pan.Add the stock, bay leaves, and coriander stalk and bring to the boil, when the mixture begins to bubble, reduce to low and simmer for 2 hours.

content: For 4 to 6 servingsIngredients• 3 tbs of my Indian AllSpice Mix (seehttps://www.eevblog.com/forum/cooking/recipe-collection-spice-mixes/)• 1kg chicken boobs cut into bite-size chunks• ¼ cup plain yogurt (greek works great)• 2 tbs oil for frying• 3 tbs salted butter• 1 large onion, chopped• 1-2 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes, use to your taste• ½ cup tomato paste• 1 can coconut milk• steamed rice for serving• Salt and pepperInstructionsMix 2 tbs of the spice mix with the yoghurt. Add in the chunks made from the animal with two legs.Let that sit for at least 15 minutes.Meanwhile add the oil into a pan, heat it up and add the remaining 1tbs of the spice mix to it.Fry until very fragrant (but don’t burn it, that tastes very VERY bad. Don’t ask how I know. If it starts to smoke remove it from the heat immediately!).Add the onions.Stir fry until soft, then add the tomato paste. Fry for a few minutes, then add the chicken with all of the yoghurt “sauce”.Crank heat up to max and fry the chicken a bit. Reduce to low, add coconut milk, pepper flakes and butter.Boil for a few minutes, until the chicken is done. Serve on a plate with rice.

content: In light of a recent issue involving a scammer, I feel this post should be a sticky.If you've been requested to transfer money via PayPal to someone you don't know or trust, ensure you use the "Paying for an item or service" option. If the "seller" insists you use "Sending to a friend", be very wary as you might be about to be scammed. PayPal's Buyer Protection policy does not apply to personal payments.Report suspicious behaviour from EEVblog forum users directly to a moderator, or Dave.https://www.paypal.com/au/cshelp/article/whats-the-difference-between-friends-and-family-or-goods-and-services-payments-help277

content: Yes, the send to friend makes the sender pay, but if you use the calculator so the scammer gets the full fee, they will not quickly realise it, and thus the protection might be able to help you. But if they ask for that, they are a scammer anyway, same to those who want to communicate outside of Paypal as well, as 99.9999% of those are scammers.

But it will deliver up to 8 amps of current and on either a 0 to 130 VAC range or a 0 to 260 VAC range (not to exceed 1000 watts). That's pretty impressive and much better than my Elgar 251s.I'll bet that it would drive the S**T out of a Tesla coil!

IIRC the Elgar units have a very beefy 40 VDC power supply diving the amplifiers and they drive step up transformers to get the desired AC output voltage. It's no simple task to generate that much power and possibly on multiple phases over that wide of a voltage and frequency range.

content: I received this scope brand new earlier this year directly from Siglent NA, which was calibrated on December 12th of 2024. It's a wonderful scope that I enjoyed using. I'm only selling because I switched to the Magnova for a larger screen and external reference input (which this scope does not have).The sticker says SDS2354X HD because that's the maximum bandwidth available without applying the 500MHz upgrade that converted this to the SDS2504X HD.This scope includes all the official certificates for all options and bandwidth upgrade, which costs a subtotal of $7651.00 with the scope purchase (see attached photo for pricing details from SiglentNA).-3dB testing puts the actual bandwidth of this unit to about 569MHz. The front-end of this scope has excellent low-noise performance. The fan noise is very low after startup completes, and it alsoincludes the famous metal handle (see photos)!!Also includes original accessories in new & unused condition including four 500MHz SP5050A Oscilloscope Probes.Asking price is $4000 shipped in the US, worldwide shipping extra. I prefer cash, but I am open to certain trades, especially partial trades with some cash coming to me.I also have an SPL2016 in a nice Nanuk hard case I could possibly include for the right offer.Thanks,Josh

The SPEAR mcu failed then I screwed up taking it off the front panel CCA and ripped off one of the BGA land pads, which goes to DRAM. So assume front panel CCA is scrap. Keysight no longer sell a replacement CCA, they want you to send the unit in for repair, probably for £20 off the price of a new unit.Complete unit, with rubber bumpers front and rear, bale arm, front panel looks perfect. LCD probably functional. Main board probably functional.£260 delivered to UK address.UK buyers only please.
