Hi Jiayan Welcome to our cooking club. I like to cook Cantonese style - I live in NYC and am married to Cantonese former Tang Lai Fun. She taught me Cantonese style cooking and ingredients - now I am the cook of the family and love doing it.

I know that many of the countertop electric convection ovens now have a rotisserie feature - these could easilly be brought outdoors. I have a 20 year old Toastmaster and do 95% of oven cooking in it - it is 1 cubic foot capacity and everything except a large Turkey fits in it. No rotisserie but...

I've read that cooked carrot is more nutritious - when I add carrot to salad I cook them first - not for nutrition but I think they are better tasting cooked.

I have a Jenn-Air for about 5 years - no problems at all. I have no idea where it is made - they are owned by Whirlpool. It has a 16000 BTU burner, a simmer burner, a 12000 BTU and 2 9000 BTU burners. Gas stoves are pretty simple devices and I have repaired a few in the past - not hard to do.

I went to the link to Sky News and could not find any article concerning organic/non-organic foods. Can you please give us the reference? I do not use organic foods - I think if the only food in the world was organically produced 1/2 the worlds population would starve to death - you simply...

I used wings and drumsticks - I'm sure any chicken part would work

Sounds good to me and I like the idea of cooling the boiling broth quickly and alloqing the shrimp to soak in it fathering more flavor.

Y'all come on up Elf - the wings are marinating and I will bake them this evening.

Great advice Metal Chef - I've not tried cooking Paella yet -

My family is getting together for a picnic this weekend - we will be 17-19. I am slated to bring chicken wings and Tabbouleh. Plan to marinate 1/2 the wings in Coconut milk, curry paste, curry powder, lime juice, soy sauce, salt, ginger and coriander. Plan to marinate 1/2 the wings in Light Soy...

Char Su Bow - roast pork buns are indeed either steamed or baked. As others have stated If baked thay should be browned - if steamed white. There are also Gai Bow - chicken buns - in both varieties steamed or baked. There is also Di Bow (big bun) which includes some Chinese Sausage with other...

How about an Arugula salad - maybe some cooked Artichokes too

Agree with advantages of some GM crops. A similar problem exists with bananas - there is 1 species of banana which is responsible for the vast majority of world wide banana production and it is so suceptable to a disease it is also scary. Panama Disease: A Classic and Destructive Disease of...

I make this one too Msmofet - it seems great cooks cook alike:rolleyes: I dice, season and saute the eggplant separately from the onion/carrot/celery (use a big wok for this) then add the capers,tomato etc to the onions and add the sauteed eggplant at the very end. I also use whole peeled...

I make it too - very similar - but add diced carrots and some green leafy vegetable about 10 min. after the lentils go in.
