    What to do with blackeye peas?

    Hi. I have another chicken broth situation... Broth was made in a pressure cooker. Put away in the freezer. No date on containers... I think it may be 6 months old, mayvbe older. Is it safe to cook with? I understand flavor maybe be dulled and I am ok with it but unsafe? Please advise. Thank you.

    Make Ahead Mashed Potatoes

    +1. Mashed potatoes are one of the first dishes i prepare on Thanksgiving day. I keep it in a small crock-pot on the warm setting. Tool of choice is a potato ricer. Only on holidays. For everyday cooking I just use the potato masher for ease of clean up.

    Foolproof boiled eggs for idiots

    I use a similar method I learned from Cooks Illustrated and James Peterson's "Kitchen Simple". I use only about two fingerwoths of water. The idea being to recover boiling temp as soon as you put the eggs in. The eggs do not need to be fully submerged in water. Also you never take the eggs...

    What's Your Favorite Fresh Salmon Recipe?

    +1. This is great. Ever since i saw this method on Cooks Country I have not cooked it any other way. i do a small modification by starting the foil with the chips on the grill before i add the salmon. I put the salmon on top when I see wisps of smoke. I also dry brine the salmon for about an...

    Great! Cole Slaw Recipe!

    Hi, Interesting thread indeed. I do love creamy coleslaw . To salt or not to salt? I used to religiously salt and drain - Cooks Illustrated recommended that years ago. Over time I decided it was too much work for me. I may try it again - thank you for suggesting the salad spinner. I used to...

    Help - burning hashbrowns in stainless

    HI. No expert here. I use stainless for about 90% of my cooking. Your temperature is too low - 2 of 10. Even on a properly preheated pan once food is added temp would drop. I would suggest you cook at medium temp like 4-5-6 on a scale of 10, and you still have to preheat your pan. Good Luck.

    Reverse searing - need advice

    Hi, I have best results reverse searing with steaks that are 2" or thicker. A gas grill and a charcoal grill work equally well as long as I remove the steaks at 110 F to 115 F. I prefer to sear the steaks at 550 or higher until they reach internal temp of 125 to 130 max. It seems to me that...

    Too Hot to BBQ/Grill?

    It seems the hotter it gets the more I tend to use my gas grill. When the outside temp gets tolerable I do like using my charcoal grills and smoker. My family prefers me to cook outside rather than heating up the house. Funny, it is summer and we have been mostly eating salads with grilled...
