Don't know about using it with everything, but I recently bought a jar of 'Patak's hot mixed pickle'. I'd run out of the curry powder that I normally use and that was all the local shop had.

A tablespoon added towards the end of cooking of whatever meat dish (haven't tried it in a veggy meal yet) your making. It was delicious.
Fried off a heaped teaspoonful of pickle to a nob of butter added some still warm strained rice, stirred. Beautiful.

I'm going to try frying off a spoonful of this pickle in butter to flavour either an omelette or scrambled eggs.

I like making rubs. They almost always consist of garlic powder, paprika, and black pepper. Anything else is a random luck of the draw

I'll use salt before as a dry brine, so my rubs don't need salt

Not a single spice, but a spice mixture I got out of a grilling book I received years ago.
'Magic Rub'
1tsp    Dry Mustard
1tsp    Granulated Garlic
1tsp    Paprika
1tsp    Kosher Salt
1/2tsp Granulated Garlic
1/2tsp Ground Coriander
1/2tsp Ground Cumin
1/2tsp Freshly Ground Black Pepper

Sometimes I also add some dark brown sugar and occasionally some cayenne if I want to add a little heat.  Don't skip out on the ground coriander (this is about the only time I use it).  It really adds a little something extra to the mix.  If you use it on pork and it's the vacuum sealed package in salt solution skip the salt or it'll come out to salty.

Fresh cracked black pepper has become my favorite spice.  I never liked pepper until I tried one of those McCormick disposable grinders.  Opened a whole new world for me!  I have since upgraded to a real pepper mill and use it on just about everything.  As far as salt I have a sea salt grinder as opposed to table salt and I use kosher salt sometimes as well.  Although I'm slowly moving away from that too.  Not really a fan of prepared spice blends but I will admit to using Lowreys and those shakers of taco seasoning (not the envelopes).  The Montreal McCormick blends are pretty good too. Turmeric is a go to for me but only in things that have a long cooking time.  Nutmeg grosses me out primarily due to eating a shitload of it in high school get high.

First off, fresh spices and vegetables/fruits are completely superior to packaged/frozen when using them for seasoning.

My favorite combination, which is basic italian seasoning is: garlic, onion, olive, basil, oregano, salt, and pepper.

You can substitute citric acid (aka sour salt) for regular salt to change things up :cheers:

Salt & black pepper. They are used in goddamn near everything. Garlic would be second with oregano picking up the slack.

Salt, pepper, and melted butter.... The secret to a restaurants' success :thumbup:

They should just roll butter cubes in a salt and pepper mixture, throw it on the broiler for 10min, and then plate that with a nice side of carbs and veggies :rofl:

I love the people that eat at "healthy" restaurants. They have no idea how many cups of butter is on their plate of grilled tilapia with fresh mixed vegetables and pilaf along with 450-1500mg of salt!

well, I'm not sure where you live or eat, but better restaurants know how to season properly and are more creative with using seasonings that don't need added salt. As for butter, yes it's good and all, but again, it's all in how you use it. Just throwing it in everything may satisfy most americans, but it gets boring, it's unhealthy and doesn't show much creativity or skill when you have to resort to using it with abandon. Also using good butter is key. If you ever get a chance to have real farmhouse freshly churned butter it's nothing like the land o lakes stuff most everyone is used to. Same thing with milk and eggs.

What are some proper uses of melted butter?


I am getting hungry and there is a ton of butter in my house, but I am not sure how to properly apply it.

Ras al hanout (the "prime" of spices, basically moroccans throw all leftover spice together and you get this beauty)
Commonly bought it is: Koriander/cilantro, Kurkuma, Fenugreek, Fennel, salt, mustard(seed/flour), cayenne/spanish pepper

But yeah black pepper is love, black pepper is life.


^Use that a lot too

For steaks, Rightclick image and save it on your computer.

I honestly don't think that's possible. If it were, sauces wouldn't exist. You can be lazy and just use powdered spices and have your food taste really good, but if you want to take it to the next level, sauces can't be beat.

Once you have mayonnaise you can go further to cocktail :drooling:

I realized today that while I have a cabinet full of spices, I really only use black pepper and old bay for everything.  Granted if a recipe that I'm trying out calls for one out of the norm, I use it...but for everyday spice and seasoning, it's always those two.  Eggs, meat, vegetables...you name it.

I'm curious if anyone else has a favorite or staple spice and what foods you primarily put it on?  I'm looking to branch out a bit but I don't want to blindly be putting nasty combos together. 

It's gonna be hard topping the Bay though...

:derpyum:



Among the ground spice mixes, Old Bay is pretty good, I agree, but not the best in some styles of cooking.

Perhaps change up the way that you prepare foods to include things that aren't ground? For example:

- Marinade stuff. Soy sauce, teriyaki sauce, yogurt, etc. Look into other cultures (Indian, etc) for alternative preparations.
- Make soup. There you can drop in all sorts of interesting stuff, and create new flavors. Garlic, ginger, smoked ham hocks/turkey necks... you can get great flavors!
*** Honorable mention here is chiles: in my opinion, the best "spice" on earth. Toss a habanero in your pot, and let it simmer for a few hours. OMG delicious!
- Make roasts. Great thing about these is that they're relatively easy, and you get a lot of meat. Pork (butt) shoulder, a ham, chuck roast, rib roast, or my favorite: leg of lamb (to die for!). I usually end up slicing pieces off and pan-frying to get crispiness.
- Get interested in cooking. A fun meal for you to prepare would be "Old Bay Soup," where you use the ingredients in Old Bay--to create a soup! I just pulled my tin off my spice rack to look at the ingredients: celery seed, salt, paprika, pepper... a couple others. Perhaps make an Old Bay seafood chowder with these fresh ingredients?

Get interested in creating new and interesting flavors.

:heart: :chicken:
