    Food Processor Design

    I recently bought a viking. I reasons I choose this one is the size of the motor, warranty, it's heavy (I want something that feels durable and will not bounce all over the counter), name, and some of the features of the bowls. Only drawback I have found is that we do not use it as much as we...

    Which pasta pot?

    Thanks a lot for the comments, I've got 2 stockpots now but we really wanted a pasta strainer for those occasions, and it's a wedding registry so I can be a little fancy. Decided on the pretty one since it was smaller and it did have the disc bottom. Hadn't really realized the 5 qt difference...

    Which pasta pot?

    Egg Roll Stirfry - just the guts

    after enjoying a little hole in the wall Chinese food place here in Albuquerque where you get an egg roll with your plate I had the idea of a stir fry of just the insides, since egg rolls are 2 parts the guts and the wrapper and the 2 are independently good. So tonight I gave it a whirl and it...

    Jalapeno cleaner (deseed & devein)

    My roommates and I like to make a lot of grilled jalapenos. The drawback is the oil gets in your fingers and stays for days no matter how hard you scrub. (really bad for contacts) We generally make 2 dozen or so at a time when we grill so I'm looking for a better method to clean them...
