Thanks! I'm still wondering if you can go frozen solid to skillet and taste good... :chef:

Almost always recipes state to use thawed chicken... I need to lose some weight and was thinking about buy a bag of flash frozen chicken breasts...Come home for lunch and cook it up. Anyone had any success? I would guess a braise in a small covered skillet on medium setting would be my best odds?

Great advice! To add...As you'll learn from the knife pro's on here, got to keep the knives sharp. A new Ronco knife will be better than a dull shun knife. For $50, from the big auction site I was able to get the pictured Henckels presentation set brand new. They cut great, although...

All of the forged Wusthof models use the exact same blade and alloy. The tangs and bolsters may slightly vary to accommodate a different handle, balance or weight. Also something unique to Wusthof is it uses one solid piece of steel from blade tip to the butt (very rear). Almost all other...

Here's my advice...On amazon or ebay you can get an 8" chef knife by knife victorinox forschner with a black plastic handle for $30 shipped. It's a steal considering even if you buy a different brands block set, having an extra chefs knife will be helpful. If you like it, they sell victorinox...

Kind of a loaded question...Did you want it more Pizza-like? More burger-like? Or just want to intensify the flavor of the whole thing? I have three suggestions: Spicy sausage as a topping and/or Worcestershire sauce mixed into the ground meat Add the "kick" you're looking directly to the sauce.

With the baked beans, the whole thing is going to runny and casserole will not be able cut in slices like shepherds pie...Not it's a bad thing. With the potatoes, if you using a glass pyrex pan, it'll decrease the browning. Also you give the tatters a head start in the microwave. Maybe a...

Explain more...Are you wanting a whole chicken?

There are a couple of places that have sales for rot. chicken...$4.99 is the norm and I can sometimes find as low as $3.99. Factor in every little expense, cost of chicken, veggies, butter and spices...Electricity for the oven, dishwasher, hot water heater, cost of the water and soap...It can...

Anyone else try these?

IMO, if I'm going with more expensive lean meat, I'd fore-go the EVOO and enjoy the health benefits of low fat...Even though OO has some healthy EFAs, they die and turn toxic at 350f...

Seems like this yields thin brownies. Not that it's a bad thing, but just wanted to set expectations... Tried the brownies from the OP...VERY FUDGE-LIKE and chewy...Too much for me and my guests...I may try this again and put a total of 2.5 cups of flour, still minimal mixing to prevent...

The test kitchen has a recipe just like this...Differences 25% less chocolate and butter, also they use all white sugar and baking powder...I've always thought ATK were a 60% fudgy/40% cake like... These are in the oven now, I did add baking powder, but did everything else... My tips are...

Chick recipe? Sugar, spice and everything nice! :D Marinading in Italian dressing is always a favorite...Also mix one part soy sauce and one part sugar...Ideally but add fresh garlic and ginger, powdered is ok, it's still a good sauce even without it...

I have had this many times with the chicken cut up, place over pasta and the sauce pour over it all. Nontraditional but tasty... :)
