    How to Cook Country-Style Pork Ribs

    I found some ribs at a great price so I decided to pick them up as I haven't made them in a LONG time. My only problem is that DH doesn't like a lot of BBQ sauce and the only other thing to cook them in, that I've seen, is with pasta sauce. I understand that they need to be cooked in a liquid so...

    Just my luck...

    Go figure three days before Thanksgiving my oven heating element breaks. The bottom element just snapped into two pieces and left a white residue at the broken spot. Since it's an old oven (Hotpoint?? looks like it's from the 60's with woodgrain trim on the top!) no one can get an element for...

    Critters in my flour

    I didn't know where to put this so i won't be affended if it is moved! :o)~ So, I went to make something that required flour (all purpose) a couple weekend ago and upon opening my air tight container that I keep it in, I saw little brown specks in it, all over. After looking closer at it, I saw...

    Grey ground beef?

    I bought 5 1/2 lbs of ground beef a week ago today (though I froze it Monday) and had it sitting in the fridge. When I went to freeze it Monday, it had turned greyish-brown. Upon opening it, I smelled it and it was fine. Is the meat still ok to use?

    Stuck on Steak

    I am still pretty new to the world of cooking though I have gotten better.:chef: I don't get frustrated when something comes out bad, I take it as a learning experience. I've finally accepted the fact that cooking is something that needs to be practiced and may not always turn out the best the...

    ISO Top Round Roast recipe

    I bought a 1-3/4 lbs top round roast but I don't know how to cook it. My BH&G cookbook only gave me the insight to roast it but no recipes for flavoring or seasoning. Any ideas are welcome!

    ISO Brown Bacon Advice

    So I made DH some bacon about three days ago but obviously did not make the whole pound. (Though he has eaten that much in one sitting before.) The remainder I put in a Ziploc bag and threw it in the fridge. Well...I went to use it tonight on something and it has turned a brown color. It's...

    Frying Frustration!!!

    I used to be able to make a fried egg like a pro...never stuck to the pan and always flipped with ease. Now...YEAH RIGHT!! I couldn't flip an egg to save my life! Usually the egg either sticks to the griddle or I can't flip it over completely...it always ends up folding. For the sticking...

    Soupy Lasagna

    I made lasagna for the first time ever a couple days ago and it tasted wonderful. The only issue I had was that the sauce was very soupy and runny. I used the basics...lasagna noodles, hamburger, Prego pasta sauce, ricotta cheese and mozzarella for the top. I layered them in that order...

    High elevation

    Does anyone know where I could find out if I need to change my tempature or cooking time due to higher elevation? It seems as though my foods take a lot longer to cook than what the recipe says. I would say it might be the oven but it is brand new.

    Let The Baseball Season Begin!

    I know spring training began several weeks ago but I would just like to say that I am so happy baseball season has begun. I am not into football, I like basketball but my team started off SO horribly that there is not chance they are even going to the playoffs. I am sad that I can not see my...

    Arrow Game

    On my car forum, I found this game and thought it might be fun for us to do as well. Here's how it goes: Use ^, < and V. You must use all 3. These are the arrows. Use ^ as the person who posted above you and write something about them. Use < as you and write something about you. Use V as the...

    Shrimp Marsala

    I want to try to cook shrimp using my marsala wine and serve it with some pasta. Do I just fry the shrimp in the marsala wine and serve it over the pasta? I apologize if I am being to vague, I just would like something new. I can only work with what I have in my cupboards. (which is...

    Storing methods?

    So I was inpatient and bought myself a knife set before Christmas. I was unable to make it to see my family up in CT this year so they sent my presents this week and in my box was another set of knives. How can I store these knives until I afford to go out to get either another wood block or...

    Balsamic Soy-Glazed Chicken

    I found this recipe in Gourmet magazine in the December issue. It's a TNT but instead of chicken wings I used chicken breast that I cut up into strips and then cut the strips into pieces similar to that of stir fry. I thought it was AMAZING. The first time I tried it I didn't reduce it enough...

    Add a little more?

    I made peanut butter blossoms and I don't think there is enough peanut butter taste to them. Can I just add more peanut butter or do I have to increase another ingredient as well? The recipe calls for 1/2 a cup. :chef:
