I've been making so much no knead bread (3 loaves/week avg) I decided I needed to buy flour in larger quantities. I went to Sam's Club and found a 25 lb bag of Bakers and Chefs AP flour for $6.98. I figure this should last me a couple of months anyway. Well, I tried it yesterday and it made...

This is only the second time I've tried growing tomatoes (Better Boys) and I've read lots of conflicting advice on when to pick them. Some say pick them when they've just started to turn orange and let them continue to ripen inside, while others say leave them on the vine until they are...

But I'm out of butter and don't feel like going to the store. Can I substitute oil for the butter?

I'm planning on making a pot roast in my crock pot and I need some advice. I've read tons of recipes and some say to put the veggies on the bottom and the meat on top, while others say put the meat on the bottom, then the veggies on top. Does it really make a difference? Also, I've read that you...

I thought I'd seen it all, but I guess not. If this is a repost, my apologies. meat cake

I'm getting these spots on the leaves. Does anyone know what this is?

I found this site that talked about appetizers made with shrimp, parsley, and seasonings, wrapped in chicken skin, then fried. My problem is, no grocery store or meat market will sell me just the chicken skin. I don't want to have to buy a bunch of chickens just to get the skin. Here is a link...

white vinegar? I'm going to make coleslaw and the recipe calls for half of a tablespoon of white vinegar. I only have rice wine vinegar and don't want to buy a bottle of white vinegar when I need such a small amount. Sedagive.

So I was making bacon, avocado cheeseburgers tonight and cooked the bacon in the microwave. I didn't take it out of the microwave when it was cooked and soon forgot about it. I just realized it's still sitting there and I'm wondering if it would still be good to eat. I know bacon is cured...

I picked up a beautiful bone in, Black Angus ribeye tonight and I plan to grill it. It's between 2 1/4" and 2 1/2" thick and I'm afraid it's going to burn on the outside before the inside is cooked. I'm thinking of searing it over high heat and then finishing it off with indirect heat. The...

My daughter has a 16 count box of these in the freezer and I decided to try some. She usually microwaves her's, but I thought I'd try putting them in the toaster. I toasted them twice, put them on buns with cheese, onions, lettuce and tomato, and I was really surprised at how delicious they...

When I was a kid (many, many years ago) my mom always told me not to put hot food in the refrigerator until it cooled down some. I've always followed this rule, but I've started to wonder if I'm chancing the safety of the food by allowing it to sit out. Has anyone ever heard of this, and what...

I've had some in the refrigerator for 4 or 5 days that I'd like to reheat. Do you think they're still good?

I've been very unhappy with the taste of the ground beef I've been making. I use chuck and sirloin but there doesn't seem to be much flavor. Maybe my tastebuds don't work as well as they used to. :sad: I've been thinking of grinding skirt steak and maybe flap meat to see if they can give me...

I just tried these and was impressed. They were juicy and very flavorful.

This was the first time I made this and it turned out very well. I marinated chicken breasts in equal parts lemon juice and olive oil, plus lemon zest, salt, white pepper, a tablespoon of dried oregano and some granulated garlic, overnight in a ziplock bag. After I took the chicken out of the...

Ever since I made my first loaf of this bread I've been wondering how I could get the same quality in a loaf pan. Do you think putting a loaf pan inside the dutch oven and dropping the dough into it would work?

I remember when I was a kid, my mom used to find double yolk eggs mixed in with the regular eggs pretty often. I haven't seen one in probably 30 years. I've heard there are places that sell them but I've never been able to find out where they are. Does anyone know of any companies that sell...

I just found this site and I'm looking forward to getting to know everyone here and exploring all of the different boards. I love baking bread, making pizza, and bbq. I know this site will be a wealth of information.
