The last time I carved a turkey it was a disaster. I used a serrated bread knife. I know...what was I thinking. It almost looked ripped and torn by hand. But what IS the best knife to use? Do people use electric knives anymore? And aren't they serrated? And when and where is the best time to...

I would like to make some southern biscuits using these ingredients but I don't know how much to use of each. Any ideas? Then, after I roll them out, should I let them sit for awhile or bake them right away? Thanks for your help. Enriched Wheat Flour Carbonated Water Shortening Dry Buttermilk...

I learned that "Barkeepers Friend" is the best thing to use to clean All-Clad Stainless Steel Cookware (also recommended)...so of course I went right out and bought a whole set of All-Clad pans to go with my "Barkeepers Friend". It's been 2 years and I've never regretted it. Love them. And NO...

I wanted to know how to marinate Portabella mushrooms and one recipe said we should take a spoon and scrape out the "gills" of the mushroom before marinating them. Why? Is it for health reasons? For appearance? For taste? I've been doing it ever since and I don't notice any difference in taste...

I can't find where this has been discussed although I'm sure it has. I'm sorry but I'm meeting my mother for lunch/shopping in two hours and need your advice asap as she wants to buy a small 8" omelette pan where the handles don't get hot. Her stove is electric with a smooth glass stovetop...

Please recommend a top quality Chef Knife, or Knife Set for that matter, that won't get rust spots if you wash it in the dishwasher. Please help...i'm tired of washing knives! Apologies if this has already been asked but I confess that I'm not an avid knife thread reader either. .

I got a new blender finally! And a good deal on Black Friday! And based on a thread here in the discuss cooking forum (link below includes video testing), I chose a Kitchenaid. Thankyou NoodleIncident :smile: Now I'm having a "Blessing of the Blender" Party for the fam! :lol: (get it? play...

Trader Joe's is selling "Fresh Brined Turkeys". How can that be when the brining process is only suppose to be going on for 24 hours? I didn't think to ask them that while I was there. I was too busy asking them why there was a separate section for Kosher Salt Brined and another section for...

(I don't know how old this news is but I still hear lots of people and chefs saying to sear your meat to seal in the juices...) I just read that Food Scientists say searing meat to lock in the juices was proven to be a fallacy by molecular gastronomy because, in fact, anytime you get something...

I see I got your attention :lol:. I just watched "Ten Dollar Meals" on the Food Network and she baked her whole chicken with the breast side down for 15 minutes at 450 and then, turned it back over, slathered it with herb butter, and turned the oven down to 325 for the rest of the time. She...

For starters I have to say...Tarte d' Alsace! Okay, it's a frozen food item but ....wow. It's in the pizza section but not a pizza. As it claims, "Based on a 100 yr old recipe from the Alsace-Lorraine region of France; this savory tart defies categorization. Not a pizza, much more than a...

Holy Smokin' Olive Oil, Batman! Am I the last one to know this??? That popular HEALTHY Olive Oil turns to saturated fat (trans fat) when heated to high temperatures! I just learned this while reading about the Blue Zone of Icaria where centarians use a ton of olive oil...but warn to drizzle it...

Is it safe to drink a beverage that has had dry ice in it? I just posted this photo in the "awesome food art" thread of Hot Iced Tea from the #2 restaurant in the world "The Fat Duck Restaurant" (El Bulli in Spain is #1) and it's got me in a quandry. Here's a review from someone who ordered...

What is your favorite brand of sauce/soup pots? Something that is easy-care using "Bartender's Friend" cleanser. And something where the handles don't get too hot. I don't want non-stick. And copper is too expensive. Thank you :smile:

I visited Ikea for the first time in Charlotte NC and noticed an indoor eatery featuring Swedish Cuisine. I just looked since I wasn't hungry but was particularly intrigued with a kind of a lightly fried (?) medallion that was white with green speckles. I thought it was a rice cake. The server...

BUTTER: I'm making a Peach Cobbler and the recipe calls for 6 Tblsp Unsalted Butter and 1/4 tsp of salt. Why? What is the purpose of using unsalted butter at all...what difference will it make to just use salted butter? I'm sure this question has been asked before but I can't find anything in...

I can't resist a good sale. Thus, I bought my first package of fake crabmeat at 1/2 price. I didn't know what to do with it other than sprinkle it on salad greens but I was out of greens so I followed the recipe on the back for Crab Dip: 8 oz Fake Crab.............check 1 tsp...
