yeah, thats fair....i only use it when grilling isnt an option, and only use a small amount to provide a "hint" of smoke....any more than that would prob taste weird but it is nice to have ocassionally

though i can see why you would assume so, liquid smoke isnt some weird chemical concoction....its actually just smoke extracted into water, that simple...so it's really not far from the real thing, nor should you fear it if you eat food smoked the real way i have a bottle that i use occasionally...

didnt consider building my own....looks pretty easy too.....im still going to keep my eyes open for a cooler, but i may need to consider that

i dunno, ive seen beach carts with big wheels (link below) that seem to work pretty well....i cant be the only one with this problem, so someone must have a cooler that works in the sand, right? im also not expecting perfection - its just gotta be better than flat out dragging the cooler through...

thanks, i had actually considered that and its not a bad idea....since it will also be used on surfaces besides sand, a wheeled cooler is still my preference also, in case anyone is wondering, the igloo one i saw is this: 100 Quart All Terrain Cooler

i know this may be slightly off topic, but it's food related in the sense that lots of us like to eat and drink at the beach does anyone know where i can buy a cooler that has large, wide wheels that will easily travel in sand? my current one has the normal small wheels, and they might as well...

silicone? really? wouldnt that be really soft? not nylon? i have some nylon cutting mats, but i mostly use those for jobs other than cutting because they are too thin and my knives go through them too

yeah, it ended at mignight....sorry i didnt post it sooner, but i just found out myself...apparently they were overwhelmed by the response and shipping will be delayed

cant argue with that....this blender is only worth the price if you plan to get a decent amount of use out of it, which i do (though not everday).....over the past five years, i think ive had 4 blenders (broken pitchers and fried motors)...its a bit of a gamble (like i said, i have a pretty much...

how come? the other cooking forum i like was all over this....surprised at the lack of response here i know its still quite expensive for a blender, but an insane deal compared to the normal price....also, for anyone who blends on a regular basis, you will probably spend $250 or more over the...

wow, no one else is into high-end cooking tools?

until midnight tonight (3/14), you can get a refurb blendtec with two pitchers and a 10 year warranty (normally 3 years) for $250....normal cost is about $500, plus extra for the extended warranty....i just pulled the trigger, even though i have my nice new KA blender (check craigslist for a...

this would probably work really well sous vide...let us know if you try

just wanted a share a successful new recipe that i tried yesterday - it's Emeirl's recipe, so i cant take any real credit, and it was the one that looked best when i googled "asian short ribs" Asian-Style Braised Short Ribs Recipe : Emeril Lagasse : Food Network i pretty much followed the...

ok, that makes more sense....they taste better at room temp....but the thought of heating them up, and possibly making them mushy, just seemed like it would ruin a perfectly good tomato

ive never put fresh slices tomatos in the microwave...to be honest, i dont think i'd want to....you just wanted them warm, or were trying to cook them?

there is a good italian place near me, and at the end of the meal they come around with limoncello....they add just a touch of cream to the glass and it is very good

their lamb steaks...not lamb chops, but boneless, lean steaks cut from the leg (presumably)...look sort of like sirloin steaks...they arent that cheap ($9 - $10/lb), but cheaper than most of their beef steaks....they are great....i usually just use S&P, sear them in a hot pan, then finish in the...

wow :bash: EDIT: ok, looks like under certain specific, rare circumstances, this actually CAN happen...though anyone heating their water with the intent of freezing it is still fooling themselves http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mpemba_effect

do people actually believe/debate this?

this discussion has gotten mirky

its a bar tool used to mash fruit and other ingredients to make a drink....in a mojito, for example, you muddle togther lime wedges, sugar and mint leaves....that releases the juices and essential oils of the ingredients (if using coarse sugar, the sugar also helps to tear things up)...after...

anyone have a good muddler that they really like? ive been using a spoon to make my mojitos and caipirinhas, but its just not cutting it....i think i like the kind with the spiky plastic/rubber bottom, as opposed to the smooth wooden ones....i feel like that would do a better job releasing...
