Yes, but ... I looked up the mouliware A445-08 moulit julienne, and it's a mouli, all right. However, it appears to have only two blades, and it's hard to see how finely they grate, but I assume they're only for julienning salad ingredients (hence the name). Not only is the fine blade for...

Thanks, and .... Thanks, I'll try that. And does anybody know of one with a less problematic design? I'm not sure I want to put up with this problem over and over.

I couldn't get the top off, tried putting it in the freezer, that didn't work. Finally hot water did. But the piece at the very top covering the strainer won't come off no matter what I do. HELP! Anybody know a technique?

But IS there spyware?

The things you can add to cornbread are many -- bacon bits, chives, shallots, tarragon, jalapeno peppers. As for lentils, I like to sautee diced onion and diced carrot in oil, then add half a cup of lentils and half a cup of brown rice and sautee them for a minute, then add a cup of wine and a...

Fava beans and a nice Chianti?

Oh, I see you already removed it. I wasted my time replying to your PM. (I posted the whole thing, folks; it took forever, even though it was only 8 pages). I hope Seattle had time to download the images.

Yet another one of those thin top chefs. I can't imagine how he does it. He even likes his booze, but it never goes to fat.

I make it in a pressure cooker now. 2 minutes of sauteeing, 6 minutes of pressure cooking on high, a moment or two of tweaking and integrating with the the protein or pumpkin or whatever.

I've burned rice in my day, but it wasn't such a tragedy with my old cookware. Now that I've ruined one rather expensive nonstick Calphalon saucepan, I'll definitely consider an electric rice cooker -- especially if it does grits and oatmeal too.

Wow, people do get touchy here. I recommended parboiling because a man I know who does wonderful barbecue recommends it. I never barbecue, myself, and I'm sure all of you are experts at it. I utterly defer. As for the pie tins, I don't have the counter room to bread in three pie tins. Those...

Is that technically a wok? It has a welded handle and, I gather, no ring. I've seen that advertised as a wok pan. Actually my own wok has no ring either, because it's cast iron (I regret buying it now, because it's so heavy that I use it less), but it only has the little loop handles, one on...

Mine is always one of those stainless steel and white enamel (with red accents) Kitchens of the Future from technicolor featurettes of the 1030s they show on TCM -- with all the modular stuff that turns inside out and upside down and does tricks. I would like to adapt one of those to hide small...

scaling with software I bought the Living Cookbook recipe software, and I enter new recipes into it. It has a feature that will scale a recipe for 6 and recreate it for 4, or 2. Or scale it up, I suppose, although a slow cooker recipe is usually for a crowd, and shouldn't be scaled up too...
