Using pineapple juice as a marinade: if you use canned shelf stable pineapple juice, the enzymes are reduced. It will not be as mushy. Fresh pineapple juice or juice you get from a container that needs refrigerated has way more bromelain in it. You should not use that for long marinade times. Quick tip: if all you have is fresh or refrigerated juice, put it in a saucier and bring it to a low boil. Keep boiling for 5 minutes at the lowest heat setting you can muster. Then let the juice cool down to room temperature naturally. A significant portion of the enzyme becomes denatured, reducing the mush potential.

The enzyme you hate in cilantro is denatured with acid or heat. By mixing it with citric acid and allicins, you break down the chemical that triggers your genetic marker and you only get its natural flavor.

@katl8825 8 дней назад

@stevemanart 8 дней назад

@@katl8825 you need to give it time to breakdown, but yeah. Cooking the cilantro deactivates the soapiness, as does letting it sit for a while (at least 10 minutes but sometimes longer) mixed with citric acid or allicins. This means you don't want to wash your onions after chopping if you're mixing them with cilantro.

@apathetk 9 дней назад

Yea, the expansion has some weird quirks when describing the tacos in the game. One of the characters describes the tacos as having a crunchy(!) corn tortilla, while the Culinarian crafting recipe has it using rye (why?!) flour to make a flour tortilla, then the actual model of the tacos you see are clearly flour tortillas. Japan moment, lol.

@jefferzzz0 9 дней назад

7:10 a reason Alvin could hate the taste of cilantro is that, for some ppl, their genetics play a role in how the olfactory receptors on their tongue pick up certain tastes - leading to more of the “soapy” flavor enzymes that cilantro has in its leaves. I personally know a couple people who cannot stand cilantro at all, and I tell them this exact thing can be part of the reason why that is, so I guess my psych degree paid off somewhat in the end.
