    Cleaning cast iron stove grates

    I use oven cleaner too, then a run through the DW with no issues, mine are enamel coated as well. They don't come out "spotless" but good enough for me.

    Compound Butters

    I was at The Best Yet market in Riverhead and yes it does. Silver package is unsalted, Gold is salted.

    Compound Butters

    So far I have only seen the salted variety, Schmidts Market in So Ham might have it unsalted, no harm in looking there, even if they don't carry it they have plenty of other good stuff to peruse. {or you could ask them to start suppling it} :wink:

    Compound Butters

    Truthfully ..... IMOHO if you do a side by side taste comparison with Kerrygold and LOL or Breakstones you would be hard pressed to want to return to the American brands. Even with the higher price tag. :wub:

    Compound Butters

    @ TaxLady I admit I hadn't read the label carefully enough on the Plugra Butter or done any online searches, but as you have said this is a psydo-European product. Which fully explains the flavor profile. Thanks for your research efforts. :wink:

    Compound Butters

    I would say no, I find the moisture content lower. The color is yellower and it feels denser when cutting. I am lucky enough to have "Kerrygold" now available at my local King Kullen market. They also carry "Plugra" which is danish, I find the moisture content a bit higher in the danish butter...

    Gnocchi and Sausage

    I am still currently "pasta challanged" once I get that basic down, I will feel better about moving on to something that is more sensitive, like Gnocchi. :ermm:

    Alfredo sauce, need help

    I used Granna in my recipe, I didn't find it gritty at all. With such a strong cheese I find that the "less is more" approach to be key. And your right I made the same mistake you did parma/reggi is one cheese not two. :doh:

    Alfredo sauce, need help

    I agree.... the "green can" stuff is :cry:, if you buy a wedge of Parma or Reggi you will be much happier with the result, Even better if you get them from an Italian grocer. Invest in a microplane grater, either one of these cheeses keep for a long time in the fridge. The recipe itself is...
