    Is it okay to use foil to clean cast iron?

    If not it's too late. :( It is a brand new Lodge Logic pre-seasoned grill pan. I just cooked in it and some stuff wouldn't come off and I remember I read somewhere that I could use foil. I know I should have used a brush but I forgot to get one to go with my grill pan. I kept scrubbing under...

    That actually sounds very similar to a dish served at Olive Garden. I'm gonna try this. Thanks!

    Is it okay to cook an actual steak in the slow cooker?

    I don't have currently have access to any other cooking methods (other than microwave lol). If so, can you give me some ideas for what liquids to use and what sides will go well and how to arrange them in the crock? I think it's some type of sirloin. Thanks in advance.

    Do I really need an electric mixer?

    Sorry but I'm really new to baking. I wanted to bake cakes in the past but all the mixes I saw in the store indicated that I would need an electric mixer that has different settings in order to mix the batter. I can't really afford to invest in a mixer right now, and I really don't need the...

    Marinated garlic

    I have some garlic that's nearing the sell-by date. I'd hate to waste it (I love garlic) and I'm looking for ways to experiment with it. I'm thinking I want to prepare it like pickles, olives, or marinated artichokes. Example The ingredients in the above are as follows: quartered artichoke...

    I accidentally bought beef country ribs instead of pork

    and I don't have the slightest idea of what to do with them. I am a beginner cook. Can they be used like pork ribs, with the same sides and sauces? I was going to pair them with a spaghetti and cheese casserole (without tomato sauce). I'd rather try some ideas than leave them sitting in the back...

    My potatoes didn't cook through :( (pics)

    Hey guys. I wasn't completely clear in my first post. The bbq chicken was actually on the side lol. In the pan all I had were the potatoes, milk, cheese, and bacon and bread crumbs.

    My potatoes didn't cook through :( (pics)

    While you guys are here, I have one more question. :) Are there any advantages to using fresh milk over evaporated or vice versa? I have a few cans of the stuff, but I'm scared to use it lol.

    Not at all. It's basically a huge crock pot but it has vents in the top, except you can set it to dif temps from 150-400. So technically you can slow cook in it. It has a removable rack also to raise pans/roasts off the bottom surface if need be. But it's liner is reoveable just like any slow...

    I tried to replicate a Stouffer's tv dinner that I really like. It's a cheesy potato bake with barbeque chicken tenderloins. I used and 8x8 disposable pan coated with nonstick spray. I put in a layer of coarsely dices potatoes, some shavings of margerine and salt and pepper, then poured in...
