It's a little more than that, but not much. Boil potatoes of approximately fingerling size in salted water, serve in a bowl with a generous amount of butter so it melts while they are still hot.
First time I've heard someone not from CNY mention them though.
Will leave salt all over your stove.

i just do potatos two ways
alton brown
or chef jon
i rarely do the twice baked potato, 1 i'm not really a fan of adding butter to anything, just to use it as way to sear w/ 50/50 oil, and it's a bit of work
it's something for when you want to impress the boss i guess.

This is great but I never plan ahead this much so I always wind up microwaving them.
What the hell is wrong with you?

Most likely the way I grew up, along with a few asains I know. Butter was not a thing, never spread butter on toast, till I slept over a friend's house. Dipping lobsters in butter is pretty gay, since asains ain't afraid of sea roaches and we rip off their heads while they're alive and wok fry em with sauce. And the only asains I know that bake are 2nd, 3rd gen... Cuz otherwise the oven was just used to store the big ass wok.
I've made this dish 3x
Honestly, you almost never even need to add sauce, the fucking lobster is so juicy and the shells really give off tons of flavor alone. (But you'll never have that just putting these roaches in boiling water and praying that melted butter will give you that extra flavor).

Once you realize that boiled lobster is zero flavor and all it is, is a delivery system for clarified butter...
No different than bland chips and salsa
My flavor profile would be asian and Italian, it's what I grew up with, the Jews werent ever especially friendly, so I've only been introduced to baked goods like knugels, challah and if course the ONLY thing Jews are good for, NYC bagels.
Chinese would be my strongest, Canton, Sichuan, and Hunan.

Yeah, but presumably now you are an adult and have found out what butter tastes like.

Made Pork Chili Verde - Easy Pressure Cooker Pork Chile Verde Recipe tonight in the new instantpot. Think I'm in love with the thing. Also made sous vide chicken for my mother-in-law, and now I'm bringing the Anova to visit this thanksgiving.
The Chili Verde was good, but I think I had too many tomatillos since it's almost more like salsa with pork in it. Next time I'm gonna smoke the tomatillos, roast the poblanos, and leave some seeds in the jalapenos.
Any other pressure cooker/instantpot recipe recommendations?

Anova Sous Vide is one of the best things ever. I make the best steaks with it. Then throw them out on the grill on super high for 2 minutes per side, just to give a slight "char" effect for extra flavor. Excellent! I'm pretty sure I've caused a few of my neighbors to buy one also.

Use paneer instead next timeI made tofu tikka masala the other night. Turned out good, but I need to marinate the tofu a lot longer next time. Made an attempt at tandoori style tofu.
