> Eggplant gets mad mushy and soft when you're cooking it, be careful cause it's gonna be the main flavor of any dish with it.

> If there's meat, it's likely going to be like a 2 cubed inches apiece and you're gonna wanna drown it in whatever sauce they put on it, don't worry about whatever it's on top of. The meat will be chewy and very dry.

If you can do something about it I'll grant you all the kudos in my possession, the fanciest mediterranean restaurants I've been to can't get (or don't try to get) their beef, pork and lamb dishes needing anything short of a machete to cut through.

For the last several years I've been drying my eggplant by slicing it about 1/2" thick and baking it at 450 for about 15 minutes. I like it way better than salting and pressing it.
