If the croutons hurt, you’re doing it wrong.

[-] Subverb@lemmy.world 33 points 3 months ago

The problem is that store bought croutons have normalized being dry, hard bullets. It's not like that when they're made fresh. They're beautiful little pieces of buttered texture in your salad.

Fresh croutons are one of the single best advantages of an air fryer

Part-baked baguette cut into chunks, spray with olive oil, six minutes, shake after three. Nothing else needed

[-] scrion@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago

I was thinking of getting an air fryer, but I was missing additional applications. I think you might have convinced me.

[-] variants@possumpat.io 8 points 3 months ago

Get a toaster oven air fryer, not as good as being an air fryer but we make dinner in that thing almost daily

[-] Pandemanium@lemm.ee 3 points 3 months ago

It also makes amazing tofu. 20 min at 400 gives it an actual texture. No pressing or freezing required.

[-] BastingChemina@slrpnk.net 2 points 3 months ago

Air fryer is also great to make a quick garlic bread.

[-] Slovene@feddit.nl 2 points 3 months ago

Garlic bread tastes really great,

Eat it from a bowl or off of your plate.

A crouton is actually supposed to be that dry. It's literaly in the name. A crouton is a piece of bread that's so dry and old you can't eat it, so you break it into pieces and put it in your other food

[-] Acters@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Get a spray bottle or just coat your hand in water. Get a plate of croutons lightly moist. Then, just microwave it for about 30 seconds.

There you doctored the croutons from "being a pain" to something regular normies can enjoy

Well look at Mr. Never Had The Roof Of Their Mouth Cut By Sharp Edges over here!

Teeth are assholes! If I had a money for everytime they bit the inside of my cheek, I'd have many many monies.

[-] henfredemars@infosec.pub 10 points 3 months ago

Luxury bones.

You are not supposed to drink your salad.

[-] Slovene@feddit.nl 2 points 3 months ago

Don't tell me how to consommé my salad!

[-] knobbysideup@sh.itjust.works 7 points 3 months ago

If you can eat captain crunch, you can eat a crouton.

[-] tacosanonymous@lemm.ee 26 points 3 months ago

The French: how can we put bread in this?

"I wish this was remotely tasty and filling"

[-] omgarm@feddit.nl 6 points 3 months ago

You need better salads in your life. Goat cheese, bacon, egg or sun dried tomatoes are great additions that contribute to it being filling.

[-] Retrograde@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Wdym? Salads are delicious, especially if they include croutons

[-] GregorGizeh@lemmy.zip 3 points 3 months ago

It wasn't entirely serious, obviously there are both tasty and filling salads. Just that I am fairly sure that croutons exist because at some point someone chewed down on a pile of lettuce and thought "this ain't it"

[-] clearedtoland@lemmy.world 15 points 3 months ago

Pain always adds a little pizazz to the finer things in life 😉

[-] RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 13 points 3 months ago

Bread should always hurt. If crust doesn't nearly break a tooth, it's shit bread.

[-] howrar@lemmy.ca 37 points 3 months ago

The French understood this. That's why they call it "pain".

[-] TunaCowboy@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

I cut my lip on a sandwich at the bakery yesterday, tipped extra.

[-] Maggoty@lemmy.world 12 points 3 months ago

Store bought croutons are shelf stable bread. Go read any travel diary from the 1800's. It's never been good. Real croutons are not shelf stable and do not cut your mouth.

[-] synapse1278@lemmy.world 10 points 3 months ago

Croutons were made mainly for soup, or ?

[-] Shardikprime@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago

How are you eating croutons that give you the ouchy?

[-] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

Try melba toast

[-] Pantrygheist@programming.dev 6 points 3 months ago

I remember when I was an insufferable kid asking mom to buy McDonald's salads just for the little bag of croutons

[-] weeeeum@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

Haha I did this too but for chic fil a bell pepper crisps.

[-] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago

Gum blood is just extra seasoning

[-] umbrella@lemmy.ml 5 points 3 months ago

gotta have your gums looked at or something. its fucking delicious.

[-] Etterra@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

We don't need croutons for salads to hurt us - having to eat unprocessed vegetables already makes me cry.

[-] Croquette@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 months ago

Just drench that shit in salty/vinegary oil, let it sit there for a few mins, enjoy your pre-digested salad and get fat with vegetables in the process.
