    Cooking potatoes in coconut milk?

    Boil the potato any way you like to get it half way there and then finish cooking in oil with flavor....In my opinion, if coconut milk is being used, then it should be used for another ingredient than potatos. I would use coconut milk, lemongrass and a curry to "poach" a fish and then cook...

    Preheated pan, or cold pan?

    I agree 100%, but also, don't add too much oil......you are not pan frying, you are searing or sauteeing. Too much oil also defeats the purpose. 2 Tbls. is enough for any dish on the Saute station

    Corn: What not to do...

    I'm weird, when i was a child (kinda still am...lol) boiling was the only way anyone in the family did corn. I refuse to boil it. I roast it in the oven(husk on, no prep) or grill it the same way. That is the best in my opinion

    Wow, where to start! simple and easy and very lovely is dropped dry into a deep fryer for 30-45 seconds and hit with some cajun seasoning. This is a great side to any fish dish. Use in any salad. I also like them in fish quesadillas.......Fresh spinach, diced tomato, mozz cheese and seared...

    I was just wondering...

    i don't get the first one... Here are a couple: Why do we park on a driveway and drive on a parkway? Why is there 1 bra but a pair of panties? If vegetable oil comes from vegetables and mineral oil comes from minerals, where does baby oil come from? When a plane almost hits something...

    Copper bottom cookware

    Yes,you can use them on gas, however, depending on the flame, the bottom can get soot on it and generally people who buy copper pans dont want them discolored. This can be avoided by cleaning the bottom of the pan thoroughly afetr each use...Gas in my opinion is the best cooking medium
