    The Bean Bowl

    Looks pretty good! I learned a lot about cooking from my Mom and Dad, but when I got to college I really began to experiment with limited, space, resources, ingredients and cookware. I came up with some dishes I still make today (10 years later). Only now they are a bit more refined and have a...

    Hello from Livonia MI

    Coolness! Is there an entry fee? Where does one sign up to judge something like that? I have never entered any cooking contests, but I make a pretty mean pot of chili. Just had some last night, with cornbread. I froze it in a freezer bag last time I made a big batch. NUMMERS!:tongue: Do they...

    I just started a thread about my new wok. http://www.discusscooking.com/forums/f8/so-i-just-bought-wok-38655.html Hoisen is a must have for my stir fry sauce.

    So, I just bought a Wok...

    I like that idea. I am a little bit skeptical about the ring because I think the heat is suppoesed to go up the sides of the pan so you have an are where the food is getting an indirect heat. The ring seems like it would concentrate the heat on the bottom and make the sides cooler. However I do...

    So, I just bought a Wok...

    Thank you:wink: I could have made it a lot prettier, but I was hungry and excited about using my newly seasoned toy. I try to cook for the eyes as much as I do the pallette. I usually like cutting all my veggies and meat in neat little uniform sizes so they cook evenly. That was more thrown...

    So, I just bought a Wok...

    It WOKS great. :wacko: It is like a totally different pan since I seasoned it. Seems to heat alot quicker and more even and is much more non-stick. I can tell I am going to be using this A LOT. I been thinking of so many things I could try in it. Even non asian things like frying potatoes or...

    So, I just bought a Wok...

    OK so I am all done (I think). It took a good couple hours and I stunk the house up pretty good, even with the windows open. I used the method described in the link above and finished off by cooking up some onion, garlic, garlic chili paste, and some soy sauce, and a few spices. Seems to be a...

    So, I just bought a Wok...

    I always loved asian cooking, and have always wanted one so I finally picked one up from the asian grocery. I will have to measure it but I am guessing it is about 14 inches across at the top. I payed about $13.00 for it. I brought it home and washed it and immediatley used it for stir fry that...

    Potato Pancakes TNT

    MMMM love me some tater cakes. Another useful tip- try grating your potatoes into a bowl and when you are done grating, fill up the bowl with ice cold water. Stick the bowl in the fridge for a few minutes while you prep and cleanup. Remove and strain, pushing all moisture out and then do the...

    So here I am hoping to get a definitive answer form the experts and (so far) all I have it a 3 way tie between anything other than who cares? :lol: I usually just try to think about what I am doing and how it might effect it. Some times I dont even pay att. Either way, thanks everyone for...

    Foil- shiny side up or down?

    I am trying to settle this once and for all. Is there a proper technique for different application, or is there a hard and fast rule? I usually try to think about what I am doing. Am I trying to reflect the heat with the shiny side to hold it in with the food, but in some situations you might...

    Mexican Restaurant

    Agreed- I think it is more of a "gringo" thing. A lot of authentic places also dont cover everything with cheese either, or sour cream. I would ask them if they have something with ground beef. You could get vegetarian and add your own ground taco meat. Personally I think we as Americans eat...
