Cut up the tenderloin - got 6 full size filets - 1 kinda “small” one 4 “petite” filets - a whole buncha cubes for k-bobs and a decent bit of stirfry meat.

If i was more even on cutting, and more purposeful it most likely could have been 8 filets - and less extra cuts.

How much fat did you trim off? And I want to bought a whole one I might get rid of some silver skin but I was typically keep as much as the fat on as possible. Just curious.

Why not just coonass it up and make a seafood gumbo? How long did you leave the seafood in there, or did you stage everything to where you didn't never cook it and get rubbery scallops?
Too lazy. I just want to put a few bags of frozen stuff in and walk away. Not meant to be dine dining, just easy and filling and tasty.

Dude but if you got it all that really good seafood, you can of easily made a nice seafood gumbo, and I probably would have turned out even more Superior. And you could have cooked it in the same amount of time except just putting a little bit more elbow grease and misen plastic.

Hey if it tastes good it tastes good though. I guess I'm just always trying to make whatever food I cook taste better or be better at making whatever dish. Problem is I still get into a rut where I do the same thing, but those times were I try something new I end up with something I really enjoyed.

The fat is the layer above the silver skin - so for the most part the “big” parts of fat are gone- it can really be pulled off as one layer kinda.

I didn’t trim trim a ton cuz ya want some. Mine was choice and it had some marble going - i just watched 1 quick video from snake river farms (fist hit on google)

You are being way too kind. Those shrimp and scallops were disgusting shrunken balls of rubber after hours of cooking.

Just a few minutes. Add them to the hot soup when its already cooked and wait a few minutes. Done. Anything longer is fucking gross.

I get not wanting to whip up a hollandaise or something, but cooking food for the correct amount of time isnt too much to expect.

Here is the video I watched - it is not a 100% walkthrough but general.



The "Top" fat is layered above the silver skin - so if you take that off, its all off. the "back" is where you can trim or not trim - mine did not have that much on the "back" as his did - so I think I maybe trimmed one small bit and then just left it - as you want some :)

I thought this was a pretty interesting video comparing to methods of cooking duck specifically for a type of cuisines top method. One being Peking duck, and the other French pressed duck. I always try to do the Peking steps anytime I make it, and it's always served me well.

Have wanted to try the pressed duck, but like the chef in the video says it's a pretty rare thing on a menu. I just remember learning about it and French class back in high school, I've been seeing a video here and there about it. Figured it's probably a pretty memorable dish.

Friend gave me his recipe for chicken casserole for my to try making. Turned out pretty tasty! I tried to throw some breadcrumbs on top for an extra little crunch on top but I failed at toasting them. Oh well, next time maybe.

What is it? I'm assuming it's a chicken pot pie casserole or something?

Dude also you going to just pop that bastard under the broiler, and if you got bread crumbs the real trick is to melt a little bit of butter, dump the butter into the bread crumbs and then spread them out, then you'll get the appropriate Browning just doing it in the oven. In a situation like that though I would have just popped it under the broiler for a few minutes.

Please do not put what looks like a porcelain container under the broiler unless you're sure it can handle it. Modern porcelain and glass bakeware are designed for baking temperatures and their packaging will explicitly say not to put under the broiler or on a burner, like you could do with original Pyrex.

Yeah, I was a dumbass and didn't think of that until afterwards. Next time!

Dude I've got stoneware, and all kinds of other baking dishes, even plates, and I've never had an issue. Toss them under the boiler all the time and nothing is ever exploded on me and all of the years I've been cooking.

Maybe don't do it if they're straight out of the fridge and cold, but if you're popping something in for just a few minutes you shouldn't have an issue. Also throw a damn sheet pan underneath it that way in case something does happen it's all contained. I just do that if I'm doing a casserole or gratan because I don't want to have anything that might boil over drop to the bottom of the oven.

That doesn't mean it's not a risk. Someone who's newer to cooking might not think of it, especially if they grew up with old Pyrex.

Fair point. Just know everything I have is pretty resilient, and I've never had the issue. A question whether or not some dish I had was up to snuff, went ahead and tried it and still never had any explosions.
