Thanks for the many replies... the consensus seems to be cold water, fridge, or a combination of the two, which seems fairly easy to handle. Some on this thread have said 'fairly quickly' with the cold water method. How long are we talking? Obviously it depends on the amount of fish etc etc...

I'm curious what people think is the most effective way to defrost frozen fish (mostly the vacuum packed cheap stuff, not like a fresh fish that i caught and scaled). I'm trying to get more fish and healthy meats into my diet but fresh fish is so expensive. I feel like frozen fish fillets...

Does someone want to fill me in on clarified butter? This is my first time hearing about it...

Impressive indeed. But i also think that speaks to the type of people that you'll find on these discussion boards.

Can you find these in any grocery store? And what do you cook these with?

Basically... butter = better flavor. Got it. I always did feel funny spraying down my pan with (what felt like) a can of spray paint. Thanks all!

Hi! Does anyone have a short-list of their grocery essentials --13 or so items that they must have in their house to cook? I don't mean like cereal and milk and bread, b/c those things are super basic and you don't cook those. I mean more like certain vegetables, meats, and such that are the...

I wanted to know from anyone who is particularly good with omelettes: I used to see the cooks at omelette bars using cooking spray to grease their pans, so I started to do that too. But I've also been reading a number of recipes that call for the use of butter to grease the pan instead. Does...

No I haven't. Do you have a good recipe for it?

Ok well after reading some of these tips. Here's what I did: Sauteed garlic, butter and shrimp first. Mixed tbsp corn starch with chicken broth and a splash, which I added to the shrimp. Let that get hot/simmer off a bit. In the end, it was a thicker consistency (which is good), but it tasted...

Hi. I'm looking for a recipe for making a pasta sauce that involves chicken broth. Essentially, I'm looking for an alternative to the regular tomato sauce etc etc that I usually do. I've tried sauce recipes in the past but they always come out runny and don't really "stick" to the pasta. Any...

Wyogal: I was considering sautee'ing the shrimp with garlic and then adding it to the tomato sauce. Can you expand on the white wine/chicken stock idea?

Anybody out there have a good recipe involving pasta (any kind) and shrimp? I'm hoping someone has a good one that involves tomato sauce and the shrimp, if something like that exists out there. Also, (not that it really matters) I currently have in my pantry penne, whole wheat spaghetti, and...

Is there an official definition or way of separating the cooking techniques of sautee, stir-frying, and skillet cooking? It seems like all 3 are just cooking things in a skillet. Is there a particular ingredient/method that defines each particular cooking style?

Oh, also. Anything you guys like to add to make your eggs perfect? I've been making egg whites with tabasco sauce, basil, black pepper and sometimes cheese. Anyone else?
