    Stainless steel cookware

    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?

    Goat cubes

    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?

    K/A food processor update

    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...

    What did I do, broil, braise or fry?

    I tried what you all said and it worked for the most part. I got it browned it sufficiently in the grill pan on the stove and then into the oven at 450. It was done to my satisfaction but it didn't get as crusty outside as i would like. I think I tried to cook it to hot. It seems that you don't...
