    Any Way to Re-Use Marinade?

    I know its not recommended, but can it be done safely? Say I took a package of boneless skinless chicken breasts, put them into a ziploc, then poured the marinade in. Then take the chicken out to use later that day, and immediately replace it with another fresh package in the same bag for the...

    Newb Experiment Gone Right!

    I'm not really into the whole bbq flavor, to me it can be as bad as putting ketchup on meat. But heres something that worked out good. I took 4 chicken quarters, skinned them and trimmed all the fat, rinsed in cold water. Put them into a glass casserole pan. Preheated oven to 550 because I...

    Is Tilapia A Good Fish?

    Let me start by saying I don't care for fish all that much, except for salmon, and things like tuna. Anything too fishy I am not into. But I bought a 10lb box of frozen for tilapia not really knowing what it was, mostly because it was cheap. So I rolled them in wheat flour with cajun/creole...

    Is Charcoal Really That Great?

    Well I need to get a grill and can't afford a gas one right now. So was going to do charcoal, but saw a big stand up george foreman electric grill for $50. Alot of surface area and not a 2 sided cooking surface like the regular one. Is that just an easy way out? Is charcoal that much better...

    Vacuum Packed Steaks... Where to buy?

    I remember my dad bought these steaks from this guy with a freezer truck back in the day when I lived at home, prolly junior high school time frame. I think he just felt sorry for the guy trying to sell stuff. They sat in the freezer for years, noone would touch them. Then, when I moved...

    Thermometers... How fast should it read?

    Now its been awhile since I worked at a restaurant, and I'm not a cook. But if my memory serves correct, the thermometer should read immediately upon insertion, is that right or no? A thermometer I just bought takes forever to read and it seems kind of pointless.

    How long to slow bake/roast chicken pieces for?

    I took some chicken thighs, skinned them, coated in olive oil. Covered with spice and into a glass casserole and put into my new oven :chef: I want to cook it slow but the problem is I really have no idea what I'm doing. The lowest setting on the oven is 170, which is also I believe the...

    Why Does Hot Food Burn to the Touch But Not the Tongue?

    You can pick up a piece of sizzling hot food on the way to your mouth and it burns your skin with pain, but once it reaches your mouth it tastes so good? Are there less pain receptors in the mouth? I know the skin on the hand must be thicker than the membranes of the mouth.

    Wondering if onion will soften in a marinade before it is cooked. Like if you marindate it with the meat it will be cooked with. If yes, how long would it take?

    Best Marinades? Store bought or Homemade?

    I've bought all the store marinades, and find most are either overpowering in one way or another, or high in additives, like msg, sodium, etc. I've found I'll use a salad dressing like italian as much better to use as a marinade than anything that is actually labeled a marinade. I also find...

    Great Newb Recipe

    I dunno I think I made it with thighs? But I guess it wouldn't matter too much. I used a couple lbs of chicken, cut off all the skin and fat, and marinated in the juice leftover from a jar of pickles. Then coated in shake and bake. Baked at 375 for 40 minutes. Was some of the best chicken I'd...

    I was watching rachel ray the other day, and she pan-fried steaks with olive oil. So I tried it. The steak turned out just like as shown on the show. But I turned around and looked across the kitchen, and the whole house was full of smoke! I couldn't even see across the living/dining rooms. Now...
