Recipe Of The Day: Boiled Water

[notherhalo]

Ever had a cold glass of water and thought to yourself, "wow, this shit should be hot".  This recipe uses a time honored method of heating that precious H20 to do just that!

I'd like my water boiled in a pressure cooker.  Or Sous Vide.

Is that possible??

[Blarg]

My experience is that Suous Vide doesn't bring water to a boil but the good news is it can maintain your water you may want to boil hours later at a higher than tap water heat so boiling is quicker in the pressure cooker. 

You're welcome.

And by the way, boiled water is a little known Vegan treat after trying to eat an non dairy, GMO/Gluten and nut allergy free cookie.

Since moving to Texas, I've been slow cooking my water (preferably with pecan or mesquite).

Set the smoker at 180-200 degrees, for 8 hours... Perfection.

[Blarg]

Is that grate temperature? Also, you better be putting a pan of liquid in that smoker or your water will dry out. Nobody likes dried out water regardless of the wood you use. I prefer apple.

Tried it. Recipe was easy to make but really lacked flavor.

I've heard wild caught sustainable sea water might be more flavorful. Anyone try this? It's more work. Is it worth it?

I'm looking for something quick and easy, like a night when the kids have soccer practice, or I am just home by myself.

If you want to die, go ahead and try seawater. The salinity will shut down your circulatory system and lead to a coma. 

Stupid newbies.

An espresso maker sans coffee should do the trick. May I suggest the Van der Weston Speedster? At $20K it is the premier espresso maker you can buy that the neighbors will think you spent twice that much. Mostly because they think you are pretentious douche but it'll be our little secret. 

I believe @mrwicked has three of these. One for work and two at home, one in the kitchen and the other on the deck overlooking the bay.

yes, but it doesn't taste as good. 

the difference is in the patience and care you exhibit in the cooking process. 

[Blarg]

I think it's a cultural influence of water preparation and technique over the centuries as how to make the best boiled water. The French act like they invented boiled water and have those stupid Michelin Star ratings to prove their snobbery. But some of the best boiled water comes from family recipes handed down from generation to generation. Anthony Bourdain was about to do a full 2 hour special on the subject before he, well, left the industry. 

[Blarg]

Oh, and in before some dumbass says to use deionized water. That's for washing cars you idiots.

[arch stanton]

Always the contrarian, I prefer my water frozen. Gives it a crunchy texture 

[Blarg]

I can see your point since you live in an area where to boil water you need only to put a cup of water outside for 15 minutes and it's ready to go with your sidewalk fried eggs. 

[Angel Dog and Beer]

Plain and simple, boiling water is cultural appropriation. I will not stand for this any longer. I've been triggered!

hmm, only if the frozen water is in small cubes like you find at sonic or taco bell used to carry.

[Lou]

I got over two hundred folding chairs, and quite a bit of ice.

What kind?

Cubed.

That's good stuff, and you can never have too much ice.

I’ve often pondered roughing it and boiling water over an open flame.  I feel that this might preserve a more gamey taste that is lost when traditionally boiling water on a stove.  Has anyone had experience with this ? Any thoughts to share ? 

Thanks in advance.

What a bloody moron! Why would you take that kind of ridiculous risk?!?

It's all covered in the Boy Scout Handbook. In fact you could have gotten the merit badge.

One of the Del Tacos in Barstow has the spherical ice cubes. It was a pleasant surprise.
