wet the drys

  I guess most cooking is a lengthy series of wetting the dries and drying the wets. Farm to table, dry to wet.

    That and making cold things hot and hot things cold.

      Making cold things hot and hot things cold is just a by product of the wettening and dryening processes

    Depends on how much processing the food gets, I suppose. Not all food is heavily processed. Fresh and frozen vegetables and fruits, for instance.

    • PaintedSnail@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      I guess that depends on whether you consider a frozen vegetable a wet or a dry.

    Yes, that’s the point of the community called “shitpost”

      A proper shitpost in my politics sub? It’s more likely than you think.

  upon closer investigation, i notice that water is added before each processing step and removed afterwards.

  • give water to the plants so they can do the growing, then remove moisture from harvest to make it shelf-stable.
  • mix flour with water to shape to dough, then dry the finished noodles to make them shelf-stable.
  • mix noodles with water for cooking, then remove the water
  • mix the noodles with sauce to make it easier digestible.

    Yeah literally the dry part is just “prevent microbes from taking over between steps”

    You could skip drying for most of this if you just went to the next step and cooked it

      You could make the noodles then boil them fresh, and often people buy noodles fresh to do so because yes, it tastes fresher.

      It’s not only a matter of freshness, but also of texture. Moreover pasta fresca (non-dried pasta, I don’t know if that has a specific name in English) is oftentimes made with eggs (pasta all’uovo) or with a different kind of flour than dried pasta.

      There are so many variables that you can’t just say “it tastes better because it’s fresher”: it tastes differently because it’s a different process for a different purpose!

      And that’s why I love pasta and noodles in general: a lot of cultures have taken the same three ingredients and combined them slightly differently to produce wildly different results! Ain’t that amazing??? ❤️

      I have a couple of friends, they are great bakers and they love my pasta sauces. So half the time when we have a pasta dinner together they make the noodles from scratch and I cook much of the rest. I think we both win in that exchange.

      Yes, but one cannot simply dust the wets. For tasty wets, you must wet the dusted dried wets. Dusting is important for pure dries.

    Use energy to heat the house. Use energy to make food cold inside the fridge which is inside the warm house.

  All that work just to put pregrated cheese from a shake carton on it?? If you’re weirdly in love with it you do you, but otherwise do yourself a favor and grate some real parm onto that.

  • affenlehrer@feddit.org ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    Cheese production also involves a lot of wetting and drying

    Real Parmesan cheese? In this economy!?

  • HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    I have an electrical cheese deblocking machine (I think it’s called a grater) and I can’t do parm. Get me romano

    It is the dusted dried wets

    source
  • groucho@retrolemmy.com ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    Yeah. Otherwise you gotta squeeze the wets and then spoil the wets and dry the wets in a cave for a long time and by then the meal is cold.

  So much dries.

  source

  • terranoid@lemmy.cafe ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    Literally every time it’s mostly just a way to preserve it between steps, and you could probably skip the dry and go directly to the next step.

  Why would anyone dry fresh pasta?

  source

  • snek_boi@lemmy.ml ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    To make long-term storage possible.

    To do work now to save time later.

  our properties out here are so dry it will take at least a couple days of solid rain to erase the drought. the last couple months everyone around us has gotten rain but it always fades out before reaching us. dunno why. i watch the radar every time some rain gets close, but just like a hex it a front line long enough to hit us dplits apart and literally goes around leaving us parched. gave up on my yard last month because of it

  Not pictured:

  • Wet the wets (chewing/first stage of digestion).
  • Dry the wets (second stage of digestion).
  • Wet the drys (defecating into the toilet).
