Porca Food

Cake baking games have not too long ago become very fashionable and are being played by both children and adults. Chocolate or vanilla cake, salted caramel filling, topped with chocolate, vanilla or caramel buttercream. For instance, angel meals cake will require you to cool it the other way up whereas it’s nonetheless in its cake pan. That is because of its tendency to collapse within the heart (I know you’ve got experienced this). A method I like to do that so that you don’t spill the cake out in chunks is to place a light-weight slicing board, or something comparable, on high of the cake. I’ll then rigorously flip the entire thing over ensuring not to smash the cake, so that the cake pan is on top (with the cake nonetheless in it), and the reducing board is now on bottom. Place the blue frosting in a piping bag with … Read more

Plastic igloos look cute — but they won’t cut it during a blizzard, nor do they run cheap

The pandemic has made dining as we previously knew it impossible, and serving customers outside has been one somewhat promising lifeline. So have some food trucks, with an inherently outdoor nature, as well to-go cocktails enjoyed by drinkers on the go or in parks.

But none of those are well positioned for crappy winter weather — and as has been widely observed, the solutions that might help restaurants adjust to winter don’t come cheap.

We brought together Eater editors Monica Burton, Brenna Houck, and Ashok Selvam for our Eater Talks event series to break down all the specific challenges restaurants face this season as well as the array of creative solutions. Below are lightly edited excerpts from their … Read more

Moist and tender gluten free gingerbread cake, perfectly spiced and ready for the holidays or any time at all. Make this easy snack cake in one bowl!

A simple recipe, really

I first developed the recipe for this gluten free gingerbread cake way, way back in 2011. All these years later, the recipe still works exactly as written. I’m usually a hopeless tinkerer, but this cake is undeniable, just as it is.

If you look at the list of ingredients, at first glance it might seem a bit long. But this is one of those dump-’em-in one after the other recipes, with the batter made in one large bowl. You don’t even have to mix the wet ingredients together with the dry until everything has been added.

Opinion

Earlier this week, Tyson Foods indicated that it will soon replace over a dozen federal food safety inspectors in its Holcomb, Kansas beef plant with company employees, pursuant to regulatory waivers that will also allow the company to raise line speeds. However you feel about the current beef inspection system, this is the wrong way to reform it.

USDA has issued its waivers pursuant to a rule whose purpose is “to permit experimentation so that new procedures, equipment, and/or processing techniques may be tested to facilitate definite improvements.” 9 CFR s. 303.1(h). The waivers apply to the Holcomb plant’s regulatory obligations in areas including inspection staffing, handling of bruised parts, line speed, and microbiological testing. In news reports, Tyson has indicated that it intends to employ “vision systems and machine learning in beef carcass inspection” at the Holcomb plant. Tyson’s waiver application, however, makes no mention of such technologies, … Read more
