    Descoware care

    Stains on DESCOWARE ENAMEL I have used BON AMI the original one, not the polishing one. Make a paste with water, and put it on the area and let sit over night and wash off. If that doesn't work, you can soak it with bleach and water, this once. It is not a good idea to use bleach much on enamel...

    Grenadine Syrup

    If you don't have a supersweet grenadine, and you add some cumin and garlic and onion, you have a delicious base for any beef, pork or lamb stew or meat dinner. Pour it over the meat along with your favorite seasonings, and it is delicious! A middle eastern favorite!

    How healthy is drinking water?

    Coffee vr. Water I use great water from my filter, but I drink it mostly in the form of COFFEE, and I know that is not a great thing to do. They just released info though that four cups of coffee a day will offset some kinds of cancer, so that is good news. I will still be a bit dehydrated...

    Newbie cook with some Cast Iron questions:

    I have a FARBERWARE Cast Iron 12 inch skillet. I treat it much the same as you do your LODGE. I was at Marshall's this week and they had a 12 inch Lodge on sale half price for about $59.

    Newbie cook with some Cast Iron questions:

    I guess you CAN use cast iron for crepes, but you might break your wrist swishing the batter around in the heavy pan! LOL! Great explanation of the products. I also have a full set of RevereWare and they also had copper bottom as well as aluminum clad pans, and I have that old set, but I...

    Enameled Cast Iron cookware - What Brand

    I love my growing collection of Orange Flame Descoware! Most from 1970's and in good usable condition. Cooks well, not too heavy to lift, as some newer brands, like Le Creuset. I have paid from $3.50 to $65.00 per piece, depending on the size and how badly I wanted it. I actually got a "3...

    Need a stand mixer? Avoid tilt-head KitchenAids

    "New and improved" is often just not true! I wish I could get my old Chrysler V-8 engine BELVEDERE back! What a great running old car. The cops drove those then! I think the old KitchenAid's were made with more steel and less plastic and rubber, same as the old cars. My newer 1997 Buick had a...

    Newbie cook with some Cast Iron questions:

    If you are worried about scratching any surface, get a diffuser plate, and that sits atop the burner and the CI goes on top. Nothing to scratch!!! William Sonoma has them in large and small, and once you get the name of the brand you can probably get it online cheaper. ENJOY. Those usually...
