Is that how they make hotdogs? Take the frickin' asses and shove them in a intestinal casing.

I think you are looking for fricasseed

Also why do people spend the $$$ on a porterhouse only to cook it well done? Go with a flank steak or round steak if you want a well done steak.

Actually, most times, SWMBO is just as happy with flank or round steak.  It's not big deal, I put hers on till it's ready to be turned, then I put mine on.  By the time hers is ready, so is mine.

If I have this right, and I'm not bothering to go look, the whole corn - lye process is called nixtamalization.

To be honest I had no clue what fricasseed ment or how to fricassee something. Little google fu and I found this recipe. Sounds like something to try with an old rooster or laying hen.

Quote
Fricasseed Chicken.
For this the fowls need not be as tender as for roasting. Clean, wash, and cut up, and place for half an hour in salt water. Then put into a pot, with half a pound of salt pork, and cover with cold water. Cover the pot, let them heat very slowly, and then stew for over an hour, or much longer if the chickens are tough. Take care to cook very slowly; rapid boiling toughens them. When tender add a small onion or two, some parsley and pepper. Cover again, bring to a boil, and stir in a cupful of milk, to which are added two beaten eggs and two tablespoonfuls of flour. Boil up, and add a large spoonful of butter. Place the chicken in a deep dish, pour the gravy over it, and serve. In all cases where beaten egg is added to a hot liquid, it is best first to drop a little into the egg, beating while doing so, to heat it gradually, and prevent it curdling, as it will if thrown suddenly into hot liquor.

Surströmming. It's made by fermenting the fish in brine.

I'll pass on it, thanks.

You people are just making up words now!
I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

Joan d'Arc'ed.

Also known as destroying a steak by cooking it well done.

In Rouen, France there's a copper cap in the ground marking the location of the stake she was tied to when they burned her.  Across the street, in a display of tastelessness uncharacteristic of the French, one may dine at the Joan of Arc Steakhouse.

Judging by the description, not quite as nasty as Surströmming, but I'll take a pass on it, too.

How about hot-plating your leftovers from earlier, in the lab at 3 am on the night before a deadline?

Also pasteurization is a cooking method I believe. 

I can think of multiple ways of vaporizing food.   =D

Some of those "cooking methods" fail the basic test of actually producing food.
