I've noticed in certain recipes such as for cooking a pot roast they tell you to brown the meat first then go on to however it should be cooked. Does this do anything specifically, the browning, like locking in flavor or is it to just give a color and look to the outside of the meat? Allen...

Yes I would like to review that spreadsheet. Allen allioop108@aol.com

Ok I've done a search on recipe software and see some nice products. Still not sure which is the best for me. What i would prefer is something just for organizing recipes in catagories to make finding them easier. What I dont really need is software that comes with recipes since I want the...

For all the years that I've been cooking, none of the recipes I have used have been mine. I have used recipes that I've found on the Net, in newspapers, in this forum or family hand me downs and I don't know the originality of those. I have not been brave enough to develope my own original...

As a child whenever we used to visit my maternal grandmother she would always insist on giving us her home remedies for keeping us healthy, (raw radishes, aloe leaves, stuff like that). We kids could never really take the taste of those things. However when she prepared the aloe leaves...

What I like about this jerk seasoning, Annie Mae's, is that its not spicey like the typical jerk seasoning. I especially like it with ribs, chop up the ribs add pineapples and pineapple juice and sprinkle seasoning over everything and bake. Gives this awesome taste to the ribs. I have a nice...

Sorry I don't remember the store name as I was in and out of many different stores. One correction (I'm home and not at work now), its called Annie Mae's caribbean jerk seasoning. Its in a 10.5 oz clear plastic container with a yellow label with red border and black letters except for annie mae...

A few years ago I went to old mystic village in connecticut and in one of the stores bought a container of jerk seasoning that had the label aunt maes jerk seasoning. I do believe its made for that specific store as I looked online and couldnt find it. I also don't remember the name of the...

bingo Thats what I'm looking for, nice, small compact, hate having to lug the food processor out then clean it afterwards. Anybody have any hands on experience with this product or will I be the first to test. I will buy probably towards July. thanks, Allen

Finally tried that spinach and corn recipe. Can't say if its the same as what I was looking for but it was certainly very good. Still welcoming other variations. Thanks Allen

It's not the fumes that bother me but the labor of having to chop them up. I havent tried a food processor as I figure it would liquify the onions like the blender does, even in chop mode. Will look into some of the posted suggestions. Allen

There seems to be a huge selection of cooking oils to choose from, corn oil, peanut oil, canola oil, vegetable oil, etc. So is there a specific oil that I should be using for certain foods, should I have some of each kind. What do I have to gain or lose by using one type over another? Allen

Definately not pupusa which this place also makes and I've had from there. No beans and the meat is steak (beef) since I've seen them cooking the steak which is used in several dishes. No sauerkraut either. The sauce I thought was tomatoe based but they at least told us it was chili peppers plus...

ok so lets hear the recipe for tomatollos this way I can make it and see if it is the same sauce I had. Allen

taco recipe Ok so I decided I was going to have some El Salvadorian tacos for lunch today and brought my transalter / coworker to ask what is in the tacos. He asked 3 different people but no one wanted to share the recipe so I took my taco and basically disected it. In the taco itself: the...

Ok so I hate chopping onions but love em in my food. Is there any thing I can buy that will chopped the onions for me or make it a less tedious task, you know sort of like a cheese grater or the french fry maker we haven't used in years. Allen

Ok so this was the first recipe from the forum that I tried and it was very delicious. Asa matter of fact just got done cooking and eating it. Thank you for taking the time to post and can't wait to try many others. Allen

No, I've had the pupusas and they are quite different then the taco that I'm describing. Next time I go back I will see if one of my co-workers can go with me and find out whats in the tacos. Allen

Mom used to make this for us as children and I did it later on when I learned to cook. Open up a can of tuna fish and drain out the juice. put the tuna fish in a bowl. Chop up a tomatoe and some onion and add to the bowl. Throw in some salt and pepper. Next crack 3 or 4 eggs into the bowl and...

what is tinned tomatoes? I was looking at this recipe for chicken and one of the ingredients is tinned tomatoes. I looked up tinned tomatoes on the internet but didn't get a sufficient definition to know what am I buying. Will it say tinned tomatoe on the label? I'm getting the impression...

There is a new El Salvadorian restaurant that recently opened up across the street from where I work. They have what they call a taco thats not like the typical taco that I'm used to (tortilla filled with chopped meat, cheese, diced tomatoes and lettuce). This taco uses a rolled pita bread...

Yes thats a good source for the seasonings, I had already thought of doing that and had saved a link to a few places. Of course that delays things a bit but no big deal. I remember seeing a spice store in my county but unfortunately its not so close and with the gas prices, well I'll just...

I'm looking to buy a gas stove oven combination for the house. The one I have now has the burner switches on top of the stove as opposed to on the front face like all of the new stoves I've been looking at on the internet (sears, best buy, etc.). The stove also has the broiler below the oven...

Can anyone recommend a good book dealing with food seasonings. I mainly want to learn what seasonings to use on different type of foods mainly meats and what seasonings I can or should not mix together. Also where does everyone get their not so common seasonings? Sometimes I'm preparing a...
