I just made beef stock/broth from scratch. It smells wonderful but looks gross. Despite straining it through a sieve and cheesecloth it is still full of teeny, tiny little specs of something. Canned broth does not look like that. I'm afraid it will not look good in soups. I've read in the Culinary Institute's book about clarifying broth to make consume, but that looks quite involved. Any suggestions?

Im just wondering if anyone has any ideas on how to limit the bad impact the nitrates in ham when eating? I haven't eaten ham in awhile and noticed some nice looking ham steaks/slices which were fat free and high in protien which is just what im looking for but of couse it has nitrates and im wondering what can i do to inhibit the nitrates from turning into nitrosamines when i eat them? I have reading eating/taking vitamin C can help but i am wondering if anyone know anything about this.

So, I went to make something that required flour (all purpose) a couple weekend ago and upon opening my air tight container that I keep it in, I saw little brown specks in it, all over. After looking closer at it, I saw that they were bugs!!! When I got the bag that had the extra that wouldn't fit into my container out, they were in there too!! I store it in a cool, dark, dry area and have never had this problem before though I haven't been baking/cooking as much since we moved into the new place becuase it has a terribly small kitchen and I HATE it. So I am looking to see if anyone knows what the HECK these nasty little bugs are and what I can do to prevent them from coming back the next time I buy flour. ]]> General Cooking Questions Mrs. Cuillo http://www.discusscooking.com/forums/f17/critters-in-my-flour-61441.html Uses for Beef Fat? http://www.discusscooking.com/forums/f17/uses-for-beef-fat-61438.html Tue, 17 Nov 2009 19:55:52 GMT I just hand-trimmed 25 pounds of ball tip sirloin....

I am going to be selling Taiwanese stewed pork over rice at my university and was wondering how can I efficiently (as in time) cook 25 lbs of rice, store it overnight, and reheat it the day of, or just cook rice before the event starts.

I was thinking about cooking it in aluminum catering pans like those flimsy foil pans, but I don't know how thats going to work out.

I am brand new here and I am looking for two recipes. My house burned down awhile ago and I have not been able to replace many of my favorites. Can anyone help. The first recipe was in a book called Morning Fires and Evening Lights. It was for corn fritters, using fresh corn off the cob. My family really loved this one. The second recipe is much older. It is a chicken pate using a store bought deli chicken. No livers or gizzards were in the pate. I had found this in a small cook book that was at the check out line years ago and made it all the time. I would really appreciate everyones help. Thank you in advance.

My problem is that I get my eggs from my chickens, which are only about 7 months old. Therefore, their eggs haven't reached full size yet ( not even close to large or extra large). So my question is, can i scramble up a few of the eggs, and then measure a certain amount to be equivalent to an extra large egg? And of so, what is the measurement in volume ( approximately) of an extra large egg, vs large......
