Potato chip omelet, pork loin w/ peppers, coconut macaroons
Well, two for two — went and cooked meal six. The omelet was tricky to pull off in terms of how long to cook, and when to flip it. Ended up pulling in the edges to help the top set — since the “40 seconds” for the first side called out in the book was not the kind of magic my stove was capable of….
….maybe some magic pixie dust would have helped.
At any rate, I covered the skillet (maybe the “10 inch diameter” was for the smallest serving size??) and the eggs ended up cooking well. The pork loin worked well as well — very straightforward. Maybe some salt at the end, and definitely eat the peppers with each bite of pork.
The macaroons, however were a masterpiece of recipe sabotage. Without using weight, depending on the cut of coconut, you will end up with a tray of continuous coconut brownies. (As we did) Phaidon needs to step up and fix these screw ups — for heaven’s sake let’s get some accurate measurements here, is an errata page so much to ask?
I will say that the coconut carnage tasted pretty good.
