Have you ever thought about getting rid of some things and fitting your entire kitchen into one stock pot? Metal food tray and bowl, spork, cutting knife, small cutting board, wood spoon and spatula, small cast iron skillet, towels, kitchen brush, etc.? What are your must-haves?
If nothing else, let's throw together a house-warming gift for someone moving into their first apartment, dorm, home, etc. It should assume the person knows how to cook and can think outside the box. For example, you don't need a colander to eat pasta. You can cook the pasta in the sauce by adding a bit of water.
>For example, you don't need a colander to eat pasta. You can cook the pasta in the sauce by adding a bit of water.
You shouldn't buy anyone any food or cooking related gifts, OP. In fact, you should probably never post here again.
Eli Davis
Why? The best pasta dishes are cooked directly in the sauce without parboiling first.
Andrew Thomas
that's what i'm doing, well i'm keeping my saucepan
Ryan Taylor
What happens when you need to use the pot, Einstein?
> oh hold on. i need to decant my entire fucking kitchen out before we cook
Kayden Hernandez
I store 3 saucepans in my stock pot.
James Thomas
>Have you ever thought about getting rid of some things and fitting your entire kitchen into one stock pot?
No, Im not poor and also don't tend to think about retarded things
Adrian Parker
When I asked the question, I didn't realize you were going to be such a faggot.
Nathan Gonzalez
Kid never talk to my pasta ever again
Tyler Allen
>one stock pot Lmao, no. A single stock pot is pretty ridiculous. I've cut down my kitchen to fit into a single 18-gallon plastic tote before, though.
Nolan Davis
>Have you ever thought about getting rid of some things and fitting your entire kitchen into one stock pot? No, but now you've got me thinking about my car camping setup.

i'd link kenji's article on finishing in sauce but you'd just bitch about that because you're a stupid cunt
Angel Lewis
Pastasciutta is not meant to be boiled in sauce and Mr. Kenji can come talk to me
Robert Perez
>I'd link any kind of source but I can't because it doesn't exist lol
This is literally all saying that you should cook your pasta in a pot until it's al dente, then add it into the sauce. Are you fucking retarded? Do you not know what "finishing" means? But please, tell me how wasn't you now or something. Because this is clearly not what this whole thread was about.
Samuel Howard
Not him, but you still don't need a colander for that.
Camden White
I guess you don't but it sure does help a lot. Good luck cooking orzo or something without a colander.
Colton Anderson
I never even mentioned colanders, who cares
Christopher Cruz
>The best pasta dishes are cooked directly in the sauce without parboiling first.
>proceeds like link a bunch of articles where the pasta is parboiled first
I know cooks are retarded, but are you a cook for retards?
Jose Hernandez
What are you supposed to do when you need to use the giant pot then, wise guy? Just leave all your shit lying around since now you're using the empty space for other things? Just keep your kitchen organized normally, there's no need to stuff literally everything into a pot like a teenager hiding his dirty linen in a closet.
Lucas Thomas
People who use colanders rather than finishing the pasta in the sauce with a little bit of starch water.
David Cruz
You mean after they boiled the pasta in a regular pot? And I still never mentioned colanders you brainlet
John Hall
You put a cup under the colander to catch some of the starch water. Your meals are obviously still made by Mommy. Any cook knows this trick.
Dylan Mitchell
No because i dont hate myself.
Julian Adams
no, you use tongs or a spider to pull the pasta. Brainlet, you should let your mom cook as you seem to suck at it.
Nathan Harris
>no, you use tongs or a spider to pull the pasta I'm sure that works really well with macaroni or orzo.
Evan Clark
this looks great for sour kraut or headcheesing
Ayden Foster
>or a spider Yeah, works great.
Christopher Gutierrez
he means a pasta server, not an Asian fried food spider.
Cooper Myers
Um, spiders are literally an Asian utensil, though.
Gavin Cox
Didn't I just say that?
Asher Smith
>pasta server, the fuck is a pasta server?
Dylan Bailey
google it, retard
Blake Diaz
na fuck off cunt, i'll just use a spider.
James Sullivan
Too stupid to use google images. You're the dumb cunt.
Andrew Hughes
what a great thread this turned out to be. OP, this is your fault.
Liam Thompson
I call it my, "camp kit." Because, that's what I do for all my cooking needs for camping.
Lincoln Harris
>"camp kit." Mine is a basque, stockings and high heels. But only at weekends.
Jeremiah Lewis
>Have you ever thought about getting rid of some things and fitting your entire kitchen into one stock pot? ... no?
Connor Rodriguez
>OP, this is your fault.
Yeah, I know. I only ever actually posted one reply and it was this one Then people replied to my repliers and they assumed it was me replying.
Connor Gonzalez
This thread had potential, but too many grown ass men thinks its ok to have worthless and petty arguments on a cooking board. This isn't a debate board, take your pathetic squabbling elsewhere.
