    I need a new crockpot/slow cooker

    My mom was showing me her new Kitchen Aid Crockpot which is all digital, with readouts and stuff. I was impressed (being somewhat technical myself). A month went by and the inner stoneware as already cracked on her. And no she claims to have not dropped it or bumped it on something hard...

    Question about Cleaning Cast Iron

    I use hot water and NEVER any soap, but I scrub the heck out of it with a dish washer hand scrubber.

    Do you use a "real" butcher?

    I recently bought some ground beef from Albertsons. I was cooking it up and saw something blue in it. I didnt think much of it and picked it out and threw it in the sink. Then I saw another, and another, and so on. My wife looked at it and said it was something rubbery. I called...

    Is Roasting a Chicken THAT Hard?

    Its VERY easy to do, just takes some time. But at least you know when it was cooked vs. grabbing it from under a heat lamp. I clean the chicken, dry it, rub oil on it, put some salt and pepper on it, chill it for 4 hrs. stuff some onion and celery in it and cook it at 450. Boy does it smoke...

    Garlic Bread - and intro

    I am not sure if this is what you want, but sometimes I get those freshly baked french bread dollar loafs. Slice it up. Lay it out on a cookie sheet. Melt down a stick of butter and brush it on the tops. Then I sprinkle some of that garlic salt (the kind with the green leaves in it) on top...

    ISO help with pizza dough

    I bet your yeast is bad as well. Also try using different types of flours. i.e. 1 1/2 cup unbleached, 1 1/2 semolina. Not until I tried this, did I even come close to mimicking something that I would expect from a pizzeria.

    Digital Cameras - thoughts?

    My last 3 cameras were Cannons. My other cannon was a Nikon Coolpix (junk). I have been buying cannons ever since.

    Top of Pizza Burning

    My last few pizzas used the unbleached flour. This type of flour looks a little more yellow and I can definitely taste a difference.

    ISO Sour dough bread help

    I recently purchased a starter from King Arthur Flour and had pretty good results with it. To prep I do the following. Prior to making the bread I discard half the starter and add 1/2 cup water 1 cup flour. Next let it sit out for about half a day. This gets the starter nice and bubbly. Use...

    Simple Teriyaki Chicken

    I went to the store and picked up some thinly sliced chicken breasts, green onions, and a new Teriyaki Sauce I had never tried before - Island Teriyaki by Soy Voy. I threw the chicken in a bowl and dumped about 1/3 of the jar of teriyaki in with it. Started the oven and cut the green onion...

    Top of Pizza Burning

    Final Results I had very good luck with my new King Arthur Pizza Stone / 550deg. bake / bottom rack / 3-4 min. total cook time. The new stone is twice as thick as my old pampered chef stone and I kicked up the heat from 400 to 550. I am not saying the pampered chef stone was the problem, I...

    Share your Pepper Steak Recipes

    I just season the steaks with salt and cracked pepper (more pepper than one normally would). You are right, about why did I called it pepper steak. :) I only called it that because that is what this particular restaurant calls it on their menu.
