>letting food "rest" after cooking
Dumbest thing ever, which youtuber tried to normalize this?

you only do that with big cuts of meat like a steak or a whole chicken breast

Wtf I'm out of the loop, do zoomers really? Or is this a cheap excuse to post their food to dozens of social platforms?

Lots of food other than meat need to rest before serving.

It makes sense for stuff out of the oven. Its usually hundreds of degrees so itll burn your mouth. I dont like that.

>>21407954
you don't rest food to let it cool down. you let it rest to finish cooking once its taken off the heat

>>21408048
But both happens anyways

>>21407733 (OP)
I was informed that this is where the "pie in the windowsill" thing comes from.

>>21407816
so?
>>21407822
whhat

>>21407740
Actually resting meat has been debunked.

>>21408067
The heat doesn’t bother me since learning to eat scraps out of the oven from a young age. Undercooking took my uncle

>>21407954
>>21408114
resting is important for tons of food
but generally not what people say to let rest
pizza, lasagna. anything with sauce and cheese
pies, anything with thickeners
cold dishes with fat heavy sauce

The heat of the 450 degree baked ziti cooks the mouth

Casseroles to let then not be molten lava, meat off the grill you wrap up in tin foil and give it about 5 minutes in its wrap so they can bask in their juices for a bit and remain still. Shit dude do you cook?

>>21408256
Fuck I love some ziti. Even better when Im eating the roof of my mouth the next morning lol

if it's going on bread i let it rest, fucking hate soggy bread

>>21408246
That's why I specifically said resting meat has been debunked and didn't mention any other foods.

>>21407733 (OP)
So if you are doing anything at high temps, letting the food "rest" lets it come down from the burn your fingies and mouth levels of "oh fuck that's hot" to a far more palatable "mmm, that's hot and delicious" level of 100-120F.

You definitely need to do this when frying shit. The pros actually have a "resting oven" where they keep meats at some like 150-160F temp for some time prior to serving. Yters do this with steaks and shit, but this isn't needed - if your plate is cold that is plenty sufficient to cool the steak down.

And you bet your ass smoked meats are burn your fingies hot fresh from the smoker. Fat renders at 130-140F, so that shit is HOT when it's liquid. And a lot of smoked items come out like near 200F or some shit.

>>21408309
YEAH

oh and fried shit absolutely benefits from resting
fries/chicken/whatever
put that shit on a rack and give it a few minutes and it crisps and dries into perfection

>>21407733 (OP)
Soup and chili taste better the day after, reheated.

>>21407733 (OP)
You are one of these oblivious idiots that think nothing reacts or is happening if you aren't actively applying heat or force aren't you.
>Muh zoomers
People have known any kind of sloppa is better the next day for hundreds if not thousands of years to the point diligent grandmas around the world will cook their stews and meat sauces days in advance

>>21408402
I made this thread as a joke pretending to be the opposition to get some genuine reasons why resting food is good, I thought it would be obvious when I said youtubers invented it lmao, you're an idiot

>>21408406
>lole I trol u

>>21407733 (OP)
Resting doesnt matter if you eat your steak well done with ketchup

i hate women

>>21408406
>I was only pretending to be retarded
>you fell for my master plan

fuck off. you lost by revealing your secret troll plans. now you just look dumb and pathetic

>>21408423
>>21408431
I got my answers

>>21408434
what are your answers?

>>21408442
Well I made it cuz I made pizza from scratch and didn't let it rest, obviously that should be done to let the cheese congeal a little

>>21407733 (OP)
lasagna tastes better on the second day after its had a good nights rest :)

I like to rest my food when it is too hot to eat right away. It's like the food gets colder when it sits on the counter, and it's not being heated.

This is the closest thread I can find for a question i dont want to make a whole thread for:
Does carryout pizza freeze decently? I was at a work event and they massively over ordered pizzas now i have 8 pizzas that im not going to finish before they go bad. Can I just throw the slices in a bag and freeze and defrost as I want them?

>>21408442

tomato sauces generally get a better flavor if you let them rest for the night

>>21408114
no, it hasn't. you big fucking faggot. OP and all the cooklets ITT have no idea what they're on about. unless you're one of these 300lbs walking tubs of lard that can inhale your entire meal right off the grill, REST YO MEAT

This whole thread seems like a mob troll.
Impressive. Did you all rehearse on your discord channel?

>>21407853
Please stop being so inept. Just use a serving spoon, it's fine, I promise it will solidify on your plate just fine.

>>21407733 (OP)

That's how you spot an easy sloot.

>>21408309
But it hasn't

>>21407733 (OP)
That is part of the standard procedures for most cookies though, since you'll want it to harden a bit.

>>21408114
theres nothing to "debunk"
if you cook a steak, plate it up and leave it, it will piss liquid out onto the plate. people generally dont want that. these are facts

i did also watch a youtube video once of the DEBOONK, i dont remember what his retarded argument was but it required creating a strawman to argue against. it was specifically about steaks

>>21413753
i checked, he said people think resting steaks makes them juicer. which isnt what anybody has ever said

>>21407853
You faggot, eating a pie right out of the oven is the way it's meant to be eaten

>>21408269
>why I season the roof of my mouth, and not my ziti

>>21407733 (OP)
Retarded?

>>21413753
Not true. Rested steak doesn't have more juice than unrested steak. Many people have tested this. It's a similar old wives tale like searing holds in the juice. This isn't a new debate either. There are a ton a articles you can read.

>>21407740
Preferably let them rest for a day meats and deserts are always better after 14 hours
