Perfect. mwah :)

Nope. I've got nothing but basic ingredients and I don't really feel like making some cookies just to crumb them all up. There must be a simple way. :neutral:

Does anyone have a simple recipe/method for making a cookie crumb pie crust for those occasions when you have forgotten to buy the cookies?

If you heat the pan before putting oil in it will become non stick. Ish.

I can't believe how cheap they are! They usually cost about $5-7 for just two here. :sad: Oh, the things I could try with beans to spare.

rich - ca$h

To try it at home I followed simple instructions provided by a top Brisbane chef and it was really nice and nobody died. The internal temperature of food rises 5-10 degrees in the first few minutes it's off the heat so coming to 80C (176F) in a water bath at that temperature for 15 minutes plus...

No, that happens after the distraction. :)

I use, but don't depend on, a timer - set early. That way if I get distracted by sauce (or kids, phone, fire alarm) I get reminded.

The attraction is the intense flavour and tender texture of the finished product. It's completely different from poaching where the 'insert food item here' takes on the flavour of the poaching liquid. Try it, you'll see what I mean. Top chefs from all over the world use this technique - both...

Here is an article on sous vide in the home kitchen, I used basic equipment and had no trouble whatsoever (except for the bag issue, which is addressed in the article) I'm happy to see steak works well and I really like the browning quickly on the barbecue idea.

Oh, that sounds good. Can I leave the salt out?

I googled tenderizing meat because I had some old shoes to cook and came across a discussion on ... think it was bi-carb... so. Well, here I am.

Oh, that makes me feel a little queasy.

I find the more I use recipes the less I need them, except baking of course. Unless it's muffins - there's not too much you can do to stuff up muffins. Ah, but the technique, that's what I use the recipes for.
