I like Impossible(TM) brand plant-based burger "meat." But working with it isn't exactly the same as working with ground beef. Some differences to be aware of are: 1. It browns a lot faster than beef, so keep a close eye on it. You might also want to use a slightly lower temperature. 2. Since Impossible burger can be consumed raw, all you're really doing is browning it for color and cooking it enough for the burger (or meatball or whatever) to hold its shape. I'm finding that if you don't overcook it, it cooks up to something that's much tenderer and juicier than beef. (Yum!) This is one reason I like making my own Impossible burgers instead of ordering them from, for instance, Burger King. Undertrained cooks often treat the Impossible burger the same as regular hamburger patties, and cook them to death. Then the patties come out tough and charred. Cooking them myself is way better. 3.

On occasion I will boil a bunch of eggs, peel them and store them in the refrigerator for another occasion. This morning was one of those occasions.
ReplyDeleteI cut them in half to put them into a sandwich. This morning I did not want to eat them cold so I needed a way to warm them. I try to avoid the microwave because it gives a funny taste to proteins. (Yes I am pro-teen) I put a little butter into a pan and fried them, making fried, boiled eggs. The butter added a nice flavor and the crisp part of the egg half added a pleasant texture to the ovum. A few spices boosted the experience.
Can this be considered an earth shaking recipe? Not even close, but it does open a new world of possibilities for the future.
What are your ideas?
I like that idea! The last time I reheated a boiled egg, I put it in the microwave for 30 seconds. A few seconds after the microwave stopped, the egg exploded. In hindsight, I should have cracked the shell first. On the bright side, the microwave needed cleaning anyway.
