I'm confuse with the whole absorbing iron situation from food. There are dishes out there that mixes spinach and cheese together and yet, you're losing the ability to absorb the iron from spinach due to CHEESE! :wacko: So, what's the point of inventing dishes made from cheese and spinach when...

Here is one way to save yourself from a watermelon mess: Take a baking pan (the rectangular shape sizes) and put a cutting board on the baking pan before cutting the watermelon. The juice that flows out from a watermelon when it is being cut will be trapped within the baking pan because of its...

Here are some suggestions: Pot: - cook wild rice (if rice can be cooked with the pot) + mushroom sauce from Campbell. -cook carrots and/or potatoes, and mash them together. With the extra water, you can make pototoe soup -chicken broth + eggs (1 or 2) + iceberg lettuce + salt (if you wish)...

I don't think I was reporting back after each washing, and wouldn't other people want to know the outcome? I would so I can offer further suggestions.

Lemons are also known as an acidity and I was thinking of using lemon juice that comes in a bottle instead of bunch of lemons.

Well, I tried this method today and boiled pure white vinegar today for 20 minutes, and scrubbed with dish soap. The sticky, brown grease stain is still inside the pan. :wacko: It did remove small amount of grease but not all. Now, onto ammonia.

Could lemon juice be used instead of vinegar? They are both acidic but lemon juice is more acidic than vinegar. Thanks everyone for all the help pouring into this topic :smile:

Allergic to beef but not smoked meat which is made from corned beef. It must be how it is prepared that the ingredient(s) I am allergic to is removed.

If you live near an Asian market/grocery stores, you can try the soya milk they produce. They uses soya beans, sugar (or no sugar depending on your taste) and water. It doesn't have all the crap the soya milk products that are in the grocery stores. Plus it cost less than the soy milk products...

I tried the white vinegar for 10-15 mins, but the solution was dilute white vinegar and I boiled it until all the solution evaporated. So I guess I can give the pure white vinegar a try again and see if it will work the second time round. Won't the stainless steel scruby pad scratch the inside...

Any other suggestions beside using a "self-cleaning" cycle or ammonia? I don't have a "self-cleaning" cycle in the oven and where would I get ammonia? Is it contained in other household products I can easily get from a market? I don't think my lab would give out ammonia b/c of this situation.

Can you just fill the pan with ammonia and leave it outside instead of putting the pan into a bag filled with ammonia and leave it outside?

The grease stain has an appearance of dark brown to light brown depending how long you cooked the oil. Sometimes if you leave oil too long on a frying pan, the oil or grease stain can remain behind. Maybe I am speaking of an oil stain instead of a grease stain? :unsure:

So I'm new to cooking. Had been learning the ropes of cooking since I moved out of the residence in my university and still doing a lot of damages to my cookin utensils. Here is my problem: How do I remove grease stains from a cast aluminum pan? It isn't just a small grease stain, it's all...
