/ck/ - Food & Cooking

Yes.
They are clap activated lanterns.

>>9699172
Someone does, otherwise they wouldn't all be so disgusting and crusty

I would never cook on one of those I saw some black guy take a shit in one when I was like 12 .

Do you have to actually bring your own charcoal and fire lighters if you want to use that?

In Australia we have stainless steel electric BBQs in public parks, just push a button and away you go.
The council does a good job keeping them clean but I normally just bring a sponge to make sure it's clean.
I shat on one when I was a kid and fried my own shit.

The general rule is that if you have to use one you bring tin foil to cover the grate. The other, better option is to just buy a cheap mini grill from a super market. They're like 20 bucks or lower if you know where to look.

>>9699217
why do ausfags have holes in pans and in those weird grills?

>>9699217
Yes, because in America you are responsible for shit and not dependent on your government to give you everything.

>>9699226
Most people just cook up some sausages or burger patties on the public BBQs, I guess there's some sort of grease trap underneath the hole in the middle of the hotplate.

>>9699217
charcoal > electric

yes, let your grill heat up and you don't have to worry about hygiene.

>>9699240

i always bring a heavy grill brush, burn a strong fire under it and then scrape the shit out of it til it's nice and clean. never ever had an issue with one, but i don't live near a shooting gallery type park either.

Campers, Travelers, Apartment-Renters, Vacationers, Summer-Home Owners.

Yeah they throw coals in them, roast meat and vegetables, then usually brush off the carbon and ash. If not, the next person does it. Far less disgusting than public shitters.

>>9699296
The police usually get mad when you set the public shitters on fire to "sanitize" them

>>9699306
hahahaha
i guess a big grill brush doesn't help with the shitters either.

>>9699296

Yes and also sometimes people have parties in the park where they grill up some hot dogs and hamburgers.

>>9699217
If it's electric couldn't someone just turn it on max power and leave it running all the time?

>>9699423
Because Americans have to take any opportunity they can to let you know how self-reliant and free they are.

>>9699444
He's Australian, they don't know that the "Solar" part of the solar powered electric BBQ's they have is just the fucking sun.

>>9699485
LOL PHOTONS GIVE YOU SKINAIDS

>>9699217
If you're traveling, charcoal will cost jack-shit. A lot of people carry lighters that cost less than 1 USD. And people that are used to grills, fire-pits, smokers, wood-stoves, etc have matches out the ass. If you're too dumb to start a self-igniting fire, lighter fluid cost me under 2USD when I bought it last.

>>9699444
Probably runs on a timer.
The bus stops around where I live all have timer-activated electric heaters, you can only leave them to run for 15 minutes before you have to turn the knob again.

>>9699537
I also hear that you can start a fire using a bunch of sticks and a hole in the ground.

>>9699552
If you're remotely intelligent you can start a fire at least half a dozen ways. That is almost completely irrelevant. These grills just provide a stable and even platform for your heat source, and another for your food.

You have brought up something interesting though. I wonder if I could put some mildly damp sticks above the coals on the grill surface to smoke meats.

>>9699460
this made me laugh.
But you're not taking my AR, commie nazi fuck.

Husk-on corn is very easy to cook on a grill, over a fire, or in an oven. Just don't use dry.

Oiled tin-foil allows potatoes, onions, pretty much every meat, a ton of other vegetables. And as you said, keeps it warm. Just mind the temperature; even hot but dead coals can be used to cook smaller foods.

Electric BBQs? What the fuck, you're living it up. I'm in NSW and the nearest park - Nurragingy - has old solid fuel-based brick-and-steel BBQs that take some effort to get going.

Although, firewood IS free in the park, so I suppose it's not much of a difference. Added bonus is that if you're are a cheap cunt or a bogan, you can come along and nick some firewood, saving a tenner.

It's not a big deal. I always put tin foil on top of them or otherwise cook food wrapped in foil.

Exactly what that poster did.

>>"We're so much better because we can actually get our terrorism-related injuries treated, assuming they don't kill us first!"

Yes, that would make us better.

"But despite this scale, the number of British people killed in acts of terrorism has remained low compared to other countries - with 49 people dying because of terrorism in the UK between 2010 and 2017."

>49

2010-2017, there's like 200 terrorism deaths in the U.S. but our population is 5 times more so it's actually more likely to be killed in Britain. Hahahaha

>>9699929
he's going to use some stupid statistic that uses post 9/11 era Bush rules that redefine political terrorism. Under that rule then the Las Vegas shooter is a political terrorist even though he had no political agenda.

>>9699936
I even included the Las Vegas shooter in the 200. So adjusting for population, you're still more likely to die from terrorism in Britain. Lol

>>9699936
He will probably use metric too.

>>9699172
There are some of these in my apartment complex. I don't think they maintain them. I think people mainly use them as ash trays for cigarettes. Probably a fair bit of spit or urine on them too.

>>9699958
urine is just water and salt when no bacteria is present, which should be case if you have functioning kidneys.

>>9699958
I think maintaining one of those would actually break it.

>>9699736
I'm in suburbia on the Gold Coast, they are everywhere here. I can walk 10 minutes from my house and go past 3 parks that have them.

>all the butthurt Ameriboos in this thread

When I used to live in a small town of very clean, no crime, mostly white people with standards, yes, I did use them, but they were cleaned and maintained by the parks service.
Now that I live in a city, with the likes of who the fuck knows, I'd never use one.

>>9699874
>I've heard the best way to handle them in the States is to just throw them in the bin
Pretty much. Hospitals can't refuse to treat you if you're in immediate danger of dying. Cancer treatment? That's one thing. But if you show up on their doorstep shot full of holes they're required to treat you. Then you can either run from the bills or just declare bankruptcy.

>>9700396
that's actually not how it works
if you want one you need to reserve the spot and get a permit to use it. If you aren't a resident of the area the park belongs to then you pay for entry most of the time as well, same with beaches, which despite being "public" you still need to pay for access to during peak hours. It's all very complex

more importantly my friend is fucking insufferable with these things, and his fire pit at home too. It's like some kind of macho thing where he refuses to uses an accelerant or even kindling. He has no idea how to actually start a fire and we will sit there struggling all day while he tries to get logs to light with just matches and shit.

I was over his house he had like 10 people all sitting around a pit waiting to cook dinner while he poked around like a retard trying to get the logs to stay lit.
I left to go buy some snacks, took a long detour, was gone for about 45 minutes, obviously he still hadn't made any headway. I threw a bottle of lighter fluid at him when I got back and said "use this shit"
oh wow, a miracle of nature, the flammable thing gave us fire instantly!!
next time I went over there the fluid was nowhere to be found, he was just rutting around with his wife nagging him I KNOW WHAT IM DOING!!

blog post aside, thats what I associate these little grills with. Planning to have a bbq in the park but mostly sitting around for hours poking at lukewarm sausage being slowly heated on an ember that keeps going out

>>9699172
So me and my dad were walking his dog and we walked by the park and they left the grill but had removed the picnic table. This is in a reasonably nice part of town in a near-in suburb of a big city. I wonder if the issue was basketball Americans or homeless people. What do you think would motivate a park to remove a picnic table but leave the grill? I guess everyone could sit on blankets.

>>9700461
The grills are embedded into bedrock.

>>9700461
They left it because it was cheaper to remove the table than the grill.

>>9699217
sort of related...
When I was in highschool, I worked at a local shitty movie theater. My manager hated everything and everyone and always said that on his last night at work he was going to take a shit and cook it all night in the popcorn kettle.

I quit before he did, then moved to another town for college. I always wonder if he did it though. The fucker seemed just crazy enough that I sort of believed him.

>>9700429
Is that because Americans don’t understand electricity very well? Or is it because supplying a heat source renders local government legally liable for every retard that burns themselves ‘accidentally’? After all, lighting a fire in one of these negro kitchens takes more effort than just pressing a button or turning a dial, as in Australia. Or is it simply because niggers will smash anything simpler than a steel box to get to the magic inside? Or on the other hand, maybe it’s because fanatical American resistance to taxes and social integration means your local governments can only afford to provide a metal box big enough for hobos to shit in and not much else.

I guess we’ll never know, because I don’t live in the land of fast food cramming, obese lunatic gun nuts and psychotic niggers... and you’d never admit to any of the ways in which our system is superior.

So you mean meat? What do you grill on them, kale?

I live in a college housing complex and I saw two jolly african americans using ours for bratwurst. I couldn't believe it. They were there for a couple of hours, probably indicating that they either didnt know what they were doing or that the apparatus didnt work properly, but they did have cooked sausages that I witnessed.

All the time. You load up a couple of coolers with a shitload of ground beef, chicken drums, hot dogs, brats, ribs, or steaks, sides, beverages, and you bring a bunch of friends, a radio, some frisbees or footballs, dogs, bitches, and you hang out at the park chilling, tossing a ball or frisbee, drinking, grilling, and having a great time outside.

>>9700457
TLDR etc.Yeah I did read most of it but I disagree based on region. Even popular camping spots would share grills and fires, socializing, meeting new people, and drinking under the age. A lot of us would drag in wild meat as we fished, and on rare instance, hunted together, while a little over half the people hung-out on the grill.

It was slow-feasting. We'd play games or grab more food as it was slowly cooked over two or more grills and a couple fires.

This park near my house has an electric BBQ, it's one of my favourite places to hang out and have a few beers and cook some snags with friends.

You can't drink beer in public parks in America.

Used to go to a lake not far from home with friends when we were 17 and cook up a feast on them, except it was a proper gas barbeque that the local council would maintain. Just chuck some alfoil over the top and wa la. We'd keep a bong in the picnic basket and bring a footy and a frisby. Fondest childhood memories

>>9699172
Yeah, they work just fine and usually require minimal cleaning. Just take a stiff wire brush to the bars, maybe wipe them off with a wet towel if they really need it, and then let them get nice and hot to cook off any leftover nasty bits.
