Unfortunately I couldn't pm or email you. Post your recipe and I'll check it out. PM me so I know where to look. Giving the abalone a good flogging is the age old method, but if they are very finely sliced and cooked very briefly (after cleaning of course) they are quite nice. Our Kiwi...

G'Day all, Just dropped in for a bit of a whinge & groan. 1. Weedwacker threw in the towel. Had to strip the carby, working again. 2. Feel really old. Our youngest's 21st Birthday today. (lucky last) 3. 26th Wedding Anniversary. 4. We're out of BBQ gas. 5. It's so hot I've melted 3 times...

In many recipes a stick of butter is called for. My question is: How much does a stick of butter weigh? 4oz or 8oz?

I have had a look around the net & cannot find any 'Rule of Thumb' times for cooking meats in a pressure cooker. I was going to try a corned silverside the other night but chickened out and cooked it the usual way. Are their 'ROT' times for beef, lamb, veal, chicken etc?

As a kid (back in the olden days when Noah coached the Jerusalum Juggernauts) I can remember Nan & Mum using pressure cookers as an everyday thing. Their cooking was always better than mine (today) but DW is a real good cook (I wanna get fed). Is a pressure cooker a worthwhile purchase? Does...

A little old lady answered a knock on the door one day, only to be confronted by a well-dressed young man carrying a vacuum cleaner. "Good morning," said the young man. "If I could take a couple minutes of your time, I would like to demonstrate the very latest in high-powered vacuum cleaners."...

Finally worked up the courage to smoke some Jerky. :chef: I saw a tray of "Heartsmart Stirfry Beef Strips" in the supermarket & thought it a good idea to use them instead of cutting my own strips. It was relatively cheap & was topside ends finely cut in strips about 2mm thick. I brined the...

MDW (me really ) is currently on a lentil binge. Any recipes worth trying. She (he) is trying to lose some weight after putting on kilos from all the fine recipes gleaned from this site. We (he) can't fit in the plane. :oops: :oops:

First attempt at a souffle was a success, but didn't come without a casualty. Me. My DW hid all the measuring cups & jugs before heading off to the Smoke with our daughter for the day. Weather being awful I was at my wit's end for something to do so I got out the Readers Digest CB and found the...

:cry: Having strung 6 bread baking successes together I decided it was time to have a go at something new. Cakes. Who first let men into the kitchen? I was given a "tried & true", "never fail", "Trust me, even a fool can bake this cake" basic cake recipe: equal measures by weight of egg...

Well I took the advice of a few of you and my results were darn awful. I had a slack day yesterday so I decided to give hand mixing a go - and what a failure. My intention was to make 3 X 500gm (1lb) loaves using the same recipe but using different techniques. The 3 techniques were: 1. By...

I would be interested in hearing different views on types of oils used in your breadmaking. Although more experienced in years, my breadmaking successes are spazmodic. I have been using both butter or canola oil so far but would like to know if anyone has ventured to other oils like Macadamia...
