    OT - “Cook Mode” on Websites

    Recently noticed that when browsing recipe sites on my phone, a lot of websites seem to either keep my Auto-Lock from activating such that my screen never goes to sleep, or offer a toggle activating said option. Either way, pretty handy feature.

      Nice! Especially when handling raw meat or messy ingredients. I usually end up dodging 30 ads to find the print button. I print a sheet and toss when done. I'll look for this feature in the future.

      I print the recipes I like and insert them into plastic sleeves that go in a three ring binder. I’ve been burned before when I went online to retrieve the recipe only to find it had gone the way of the Buffalo.

      Don’t forget about the 14 page blogger’s useless ramblings. Just give me the dang recipe. 
      Right!? The backstory and the long road taken to perfect the recipe....

      Just as you arrive at the ingredients list, a giant ad video finally loads and shoves the list up or down and you accidentally click on the ad.

      Had to quote this just to emphasize @klaton.  I’ve been saving them as pdf via print to lately and it’s been a good work around to the ads and jumping screen

      ^^^ This. I am not a tech enthusiast and don’t like the privacy implications, but smart speakers are fantastic in the kitchen for the same reason. From pulling espresso shots to drying pans on hot elements, I love having the ability to activate timers hands-free.

      Thanks @GrateEggspectations for this thread, it got me thinking about watching Pepin's chicken deboning video while butchering a turkey with my hack saw, lol.

      Next time I can just say Alexa pause, Alexa resume, Alexa restart, woohoo! Have to figure out why Alexa rewind is not working for me though.

      Last time I did this I had one of my kids pause, play, pause, play.  It's the new "hold the flashlight while dad works on the car."

      This looks like the worst crepe recipe ever, and I’m an Alton fan girl so I don’t wanna start a fight. But… my mom was a chef and the first recipe I ever learned was 1 egg, 1/4c milk, 1/4c flour, 1Tbs melted butter (unsalted), and a pinch of salt and sugar for each person you are serving. Allow batter to rest 20-30 minutes after whisking before you cook. Also make these on a tortilla pan on your BGE…. Just use ghee on your pan, regular butter will scorch.

      I assume by “Alton”, you mean Kenji Lopez-Alt and not Alton Brown, who, AFAIK, has nothing to do with the recipe. I picked it at random. 

      Crepes were the first thing I really delved into cooking growing up, and I think the recipe I used to use was either from the Silver Palate or a Good Housekeeping cookbook. Have no idea how those proportions matched up against this recipe of Kenji’s, but the results on this were nowhere near as traumatic as your post would imply. 

      As he is known to do, Kenji tested the rest method you describe against non-rested batter and concluded “the difference wasn’t so obvious”. 

      I had no ghee on hand so the milk solids did brown right quick, but I tried to minimize that by performing the buttering of the pan and the application of the batter in very quick steps.

      I saw the SE at the top and figured it was from Alton’s Serious Eats show. The proportions in that look like you would get a thin pancake not a crepe. But if you’re happy eat up!

      I think you may be thinking of Good Eats, with Alton Brown. Kenji is someone else. New York Times columnist, James Beard Award Winner, etc. 

      I do hope someone lets him know of the horrors of his recipe!

      I hope they do. Unfortunately mom is dead so I’m guessing her instructors at the Sorbonne are too and can’t share their thoughts with Kenji. It also appears that I need to rewatch Good Eats if it has been so long I have given it a different name, thanks for the correction!

      @BeanHead did your mom take her pizza dough recipe with her? Sorry it's an inside joke here  ;)

      Serious Eats used to feature a lot of Alton Brown.  And Kenji.

      Kenji started Food Lab on Serious Eats.

      Good Eats was a tv show.

      Now stop fighting.
