Here I am outside of DC watching the snow fall potential stuck till monday. It's not so bad, there's a major mall and grocercy stores within walking distance. Any who, I have a london broil and a Rack of lamb, that I bought yesterday all nice and plastic wrapped in the ice box. So what do I...

I forgot to ask my question, anybody here have any analon commercial clad cookware? How do you like it. I may be able to run up on some at a Marshalls. They also have cusinart and some allclad. I'm wondering which to get.

I think I am on the hunt for a stainless steel saucier and maybe another frying pan. I am trying to figure out why I would want a stainless steel casserole and call me ignorant but what do you do with a braiser that you cab't do with any other similar sized cooking vessel?

I am not a wine person but I saw Sutter Home's fre' series of Brut, white Zinfandale, Chardonay and merlot's. I don't really want to be a wine person but I wanted to see what was out there that I could drink besides martinalli's. I don't like, bitter or sour taste so i didn't like chardonay. I...

I had real beef, made from pan goo, gravy this weekend, and I've been eating mashed potato's ever since. Cause real gravy is good. I have achieved another level of enlightenment! My wife made it, must give credit where it's due. We started off making beef stew in the crockpot and she browned the...

anybody bought any yet and tried it?

At the risk of being boo-ed :) I know some folks despise analon cookware, but I have collected several pieces, 1 qt, 2 qt and 3 qt with Lids and a 8" skillet, all of the discount aisle at marshall's ( i always feel so out of place winding my way through all the women's stuff to get to the pots...

What are you supposed to do with the little cubes of goat meat that my local supermarket sells? I have been trying to sear them in the all purpose cast iron pan, but some how I dont think that is their calling. To much fat bone and chewy sinewy stuff. Are you supposed to use them for stew?

Lastly but not leastly I tried to make boiled custard for my moms for christmas , she made it for me as a kid and even when i wasnt a kid, until I finally tried to make it a couple of years ago.I got the flavor right , about a dozen egg yolks, no whites, I had thoughts of whipping the whites to...

I havent been on for awhile... to busy working... I got the 12" lodge wok coming back from georgia for thanksgiving at the lodge outlet in commerce georgia. I got the 12" model. I love it too. Between it and the fp I can whip up a chinese meal in no time. The wok holds enough food for 2 nice...

I've had me K/A FP 670 for 3 or 4 months now and I must say I love it. I had 2 smaller ones before I got the big one and now they are lost somewhere. Because it has 3 nesting bowls, which is sometimes a drag, but you can chop in one bowl, take it out, slice in another and remove it and then do a...

thanks for the recommendations.... Some one suggested roasting....Would a roaster do? (say no,say no!) I've been spying a calphalon stainless steel.... it looked like a frying pan but had 2 loop handles and seem to be a steal at $40. I have almost completed my set of analon pans... and I'm...

I want to cook either some lamb or some goat in some lamb... braise it to get it all crusty and finish it in the oven but I have no idea on how to pick a wine. I almost bought a rack of lamb for christmas but i wasnt sure just what to do with it. finally I had rotisserie'd lamb for...

Now somewhere somebody said you aint supposed to flip the meat ounce you got it into the pan. leave it 3-5 mins and then flip it. Oh well your way makes makes more sense.

Now that I have discovered just how easy it is to whip up a batch of pizza dough in my kitchen aid, I am wondering if there are any other breads that come together that easily or do must breads go together that easy and what bread should i try to make first? Also , I've made hawiaan sweet bread...
