Baked Chicken and White Rice
Does anyone else bake chicken and use some liquids, and spices to flavor the chicken? Then, at the same time cook some white rice and pour the finished baked chicken juices over the white rice? I do, and I was raised on it (flavors can vary). If you do this too, what are your recipes for the juice?

How to tell when is garlic "fragrant" after adding to hot oil?
A lot of recipes (Cooks Illustrated in particular) say to cook garlic (and ginger) until fragrant.
I understand that you want to make sure not to cook it too long, so that's why they specify. To me, though, it's pretty fragrant raw, and I'm not sure how to tell the difference between the raw fragrance and the cooked-enough fragrance.
I'm usually pretty conservative about it, so I'll mix in whatever else the recipe calls for sooner rather than later, but I'm wondering if maybe I'm getting less flavor than I could be.
This question has been bugging me for a while, and damn if I'm going to let another year go by before getting it answered! Thanks!

Simple Garlic(and cheese) Bread for new years!
I was tasked with making garlic bread for new years(last minute). Quickly looked at a couple of recipes and tried a quick batch which tasted amazing, and I just wanted to share this last-minute simple recipe for garlic bread for those who need for new years:
~1 Baguette or 6-8 bread slices(sourdough or other "artisinal" bread preferred)
~50g butter
2 garlic cloves Grated Parmesan/Cheese of choice (Västerbottensost in my case, basically local aged cheese/parmesan)
Salt to taste(if unsalted butter, cheese will provide salt either way)
Parsley(roughly chopped) to taste/look (not needed, but makes it look/taste extra fancy)
Oven 225° C / 440 Fahrenheit
Mix butter + minced/grated/pressed garlic + parsley + salt(if unsalted butter) with fork(just use the fork ends, don't press too much for easy mixing)
Split bread in half lengthwise + cut bread partially diagonally (for easy breaking later)
Spread Mixed Butter on bread (bread - room temp, butter - room or fridge temp)
Top off with pinch of kosher-ish salt flakes + cheese(cover + more)
5-10minutes or til crispy looking
Just have an eye on the bread until the cheese starts going brown, that's when it's done. Crispy AF bread, and nice and garlicy flavour.
Dip in aioli(recipe not provided, or needed honestly) or dip of choice.
If you're in a hurry, mix the butter before arriving at party, put the cheese in a container/bag, and when at the party, start the oven least 30+ minutes before serving and it's all a breeze from then on.
Hope this helps, and have a happy new century!

Sean's famous Mac and Cheese
Hello! Alchemist here again, and as you've inferred from the title, my real name is Sean. This is a recipe I make almost every week. It's one of my favorite comfort foods, and has become somewhat of a legend in my circle. I've had countless people ask for this recipe after eating it (and I always happily give it out), and I'd like to share it here.
Ingredients:
*3 tablespoons butter
*1/4 cup flour
*1 teaspoon salt
*1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
*1/4 teaspoon black pepper
*2 1/2 cups milk
*1 pound chedder cheese, grated
*1/2 pound Velveeta, cut into chunks
*1/2 pound mozzarella, grated
*1 pound elbow macaroni
*Bread crumbs
*Paprika
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350. Fill a large pot with water for the macaroni. Begin heating the water as you make the cheese mixture, simply adding the macaroni whenever the water begins boiling and keeping an eye on it while you continue with the cheese mixture. Meanwhile, place the butter in a medium or large sauce pan and melt it over low heat. While it melts, mix the flour, salt, mustard, and pepper in a small bowl. When the butter is fully melted, add the flour and spices, remove the pan from the heat, and mix until you get a consistent paste. Next, return the pan to the heat and begin adding the milk. You must add the milk in SMALL amounts, as in less than 1/4 cup at a time, and mix fully after each addition. If you add too much all at once, your flour mixture will form clumps that are very difficult to get rid of. Once all of the milk has been added, allow this mixture to simmer, stirring constantly, for about 5 minutes. Then begin adding your cheeses, but reserve a half a pound of the cheddar. How much you add at a time is unimportant, but I prefer about a handful at a time, allowing for it to melt before adding more. You can turn the heat to medium-low for this step to speed up melting. Be sure to stir often, taking care to scrape the bottom... Otherwise you will have a thick layer that settles and sticks to to the bottom. Don't forget to be watching your macaroni, which can be drained and poured into a 9x13 baking dish whenever it is ready. When all of your cheese (except the half pound of cheddar you set aside) is fully melted and mixed, pour the mixture into the pan with the macaroni and mix. Alternatively, you can put the cooked macaroni into the pan you boiled it in, add the cheese mixture to that, and mix it there before putting it in the baking dish. This just makes it easier to mix without spilling. Sprinkle the remaining cheddar evenly over the top of the dish, followed by a layer of bread crumbs. Finally, sprinkle a little paprika over the top (this is mostly for garnish). Bake at 350 for 20 to 30 minutes, or until the edges are bubbly and the bread crumbs start to brown. Remove and cool for 5 minutes before serving. Pair with chicken or steak, and I recommend a nice craft beer with it.
This dish reheats quite well... but you won't have leftovers for long. They go quick. Enjoy!

Mom's incredible cheesecake
Hi, everybody! Alchemist here. I am a long-time reddit user, and have just discovered this sub. I'm a 32 year old man, and I love to cook, it is one of my favorite things to do. Nothing is more gratifying than watching people enjoy something delicious I have made. This is my first submission here, and I intend to make many more. I love sharing recipes, which surprises people... I believe good food is for everyone, and there is no recipe I want to keep secret (except in situations where I am given a recipe with the explicit instructions to not share it).
I was a chef for many years, I love making dinners. But I also love desserts, and today I will be sharing my go-to dessert recipe for when I want to impress. This recipe was passed on to me from my mom, an amazing cook, who got it from her grandmother. Before we get to the recipe, here are a few short points about it:
*The recipe is presented in its original form, but there are two tweaks I sometimes make, which are listed as well. I urge you to try them both.
*This cheesecake is intended to be enjoyed with no topping. Its decadence stands on its own merit. I'm not telling you not to use a topping, but I urge you to try a piece plain before making this decision.
*This cheesecake is not healthy. My mother used to say, "A moment on the lips, a lifetime on the hips." You have been warned.
*The instructions for this recipe may seem oddly specific to you, but there is a reason for this. I can tell you from experience that if you don't follow it as it is written, the consistency and texture will be lacking.
*I will NEVER buy graham cracker crumbs. I do it the way my mother did, by buying graham crackers and crushing them. The best way is to put them in a plastic zipper bag and crush them with a rolling pin or a drinking glass. Any hard, cylindrical object will do the trick. If you opt to use speculoos instead of graham crackers (which I find makes a superior crust) you will HAVE to crush them this way, as you can't just buy speculoo crumbs like you can graham cracker crumbs.
With that said, without further adieu, on to the best cheesecake you've ever had!
Required equipment:
*Handheld electric mixer (stand mixer also will work, but is actually a bit less convenient in my experience)
*10 inch springform pan
Make the crust first:
Ingredients:
*1/4 cup melted UNSALTED butter
*2 tablespoons white sugar
*2 cups graham cracker crumbs OR speculoo crumbs. Speculoos are sold in the US under the Biscoff brand. I recommend speculoos for a more flavorful crust, but graham cracker is the original, tried-and-true crust. Using speculoos is the first of my two tweaks, and the one I use most often, almost every time. The second, mentioned later, is dependent on how I feel that day.
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350° F. Mix crumbs and sugar in a medium bowl. Then add the melted butter and mix thoroughly, being sure to get the mixture consistent. Press the mix into your springform pan, pressing against the sides to a height of about 1 inch or so. Bake the crust for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and set aside to cool. While the crust cools, mix the filling.
Make the filling:
Ingredients:
*3 8oz packages of cream cheese (total 24oz), left at room temp for about an hour.
*1 1/2 cups white sugar
*4 eggs
*1 tablespoon grated lemon rind OR lime rind. This is the second tweak. Both are equally good in my opinion, and provide different subtleties. This ingredient, regardless of which you use, is what REALLY brings the magic into this recipe. For what it's worth, I recommend trying the original (lemon) first.
*1/2 teaspoon real vanilla extract. To use imitation is blasphemy.
Directions... This is where things get specific. I will put important aspects in bold:
Place cream cheese and sugar in a large bowl. Mix at low speed for 30 seconds to blend, turn up to medium and beat for 1 minute. Scrape bowl with a rubber spatula, and mix at medium speed for 1 more minute. Add eggs one at a time, mixing at medium speed for 15 seconds after each one. Scrape bowl again. Add your grated lemon (or lime) peel and vanilla. Mix at medium speed for 30 seconds.
Pour filling into the springform pan over the prepared crust. The filling will be higher than the top of your crust, this is normal. Bake at 350° F for 45 to 60 minutes, or until it feels firm to the touch. Some slight browning around the edges is normal. Chill in the refrigerator for several hours.
WARNING! MAY BE DEADLY TO DIABETICS!!!
Just kidding. But seriously, it's bad for you. As desserts often are.
I'd love feedback, so please... if you enjoy this cheesecake, have tips, or find a good tweak... message me or comment here. I'd love to hear your opinions.
ENJOY!

What’s the best way to bake juicy chicken in the oven?
