This is my 3rd yr @ attempting to make turkey gravy ahead of T-day and freeze; because we deep fry the turkey on T-day. I just roasted 2 turkey thighs w/ 2 legs. I roasted @ 335 degrees for 1.75 hours. I have lots of fat but hard to find any 'drippings' with color. Please advise. I am...

I did re-scrub using hot water from tea kettle. 450 oven 1 hr. upside down w/ tray to catch the drip. Cooked my 1st stir fry w/ it last night. Mission accomplished! Thank you all for your help.

Oh yes, it is cast iron. A friend, whose family came to USA from China, has a light weight wok (from China)& a cast iron; she suggested I get cast iron. I am just a beginner-wokker! Thank you for the advice. I have plain steel wool and will scrub w/ Joy and hot water. And then season in hot...

350 oven 1 hr. then I removed it per instructions w/ the wok. it is sticky and there is some kind of residue on bottom. I think I will start all over using sos pads.

I have a new cast iron wok. I scrubbed it w/ hot soapy water and a plastic scrubber. I wiped the inside down w/ veg oil and let sit in a 350 oven for 1 hr. I wiped the inside down w/ paper towel and it p/u dayglow yellow-orange colored oil. Should I re-clean the wok w/ something like an SOS...

A friend has a 15 yr old (guess)Jenn Aire cook top w/ downdraft vent. How do we clean that horribly greasy dirty greasy vent? I want to pull it out and replace but . . . .

I am making make-ahead gravy for our dinner. I will buy 2-3 (each) turkey wings and legs and roast in the oven for drippings and simmer some giblets for broth. I will use some boxed chix broth too. And I am going to Whole Foods or similar type store to get some gravy from their deli to...

Looking for a recipe some dear friends had out one evening @ a buffet dinner @ golf club. Grated potatoes, heavy cream like sauce, maybe some cheese? onions? I want to make them some for fun. Any one have such a recipe?

some navy bean soup recipes call for mashed potatoes.

I thought of that as I was typing. So maybe 2 lightweight turner/spatula's.

Would dough scrapers hold up? I am thinking using 2 of these, 1 in ea. hand to do the work.

Thank you for the link. I understand the reason for the heavy spatula's but thinking this problem is not unusual.

Our son has a kiosk selling food @ events. Currently he uses a commercial spatula but it is heavy and after 6-10 hrs of chopping, flipping etc his wrist is wounded! Any of you know of a commercial spatual that is lightweight? What would the metal part be made of? This problem is not unique, I...

I sometimes help friends who have a deli. They go thru onions by the ton! They have a manual onion slicer that is sharp (blades)but am wondering if there is an electric commercial onion slicer?

Thank you. I assume when it is cooked you should take it outside to open and plate so the steam/smell stays out. And then I thought I could simply take my electric griddle outside and cook on top of patio table.
