    Microwave for reheating of meats

    I'm not sure if this will work in all microwaves, but I found that I can heat something up gently using my defrost cycle. It seems to heat things much more gently than the other cycles. I set an amount of time and then repeat as needed until it's the desired temperature. This way it warms the...

    Softening brown sugar

    Just keep it in the plastic bag it came in and place in a larger ziplock bag in the refrigerater and it won't harden up on you anymore.

    Storing Cheese

    I searched for quite a while for how to store Parmesan. Mine was molding before I could use it up. I did scrape the mold off, but I wanted a better solution. I was wrapping it in plastic and that did encourage the mold. Couldn't breathe. Now I wrap in parchment first and then put it in a ziploc...

    ISO Pasta Goulash

    Oh I have one for you. Many years ago I worked at a bakery that had a lunch counter. They had a dish they sold called American Chop Suey. One of the older women gave me the recipe and I've been making it for over 30 years. As a side note, going in early on the mornings I was opening I'd have...

    Hello

    Hi, I've posted before, but never really introduced myself first. Cooking has been a lifelong interest of mine. I'm not a gourmet buy any means. I'd classify myself as a homestyle cook. I've just never been into exotic ingredients. Just wanted to say hi to the group and hope to get to know you...

    Cutting Board Materials?

    There's another cutting board material that hasn't been mentioned. It's a composite called richlite I believe. I have a board called Epicurian. It's kind to the knife blade and is very durable and can be put in the dishwasher. I've had my board for about a year and it still is in great shape. I...

    Noodle advice

    It is true that the starch helps the sauce cling to the pasta. Italians don't rinse their pasta. The only time pasta should be rinsed is for pasta salad.

    Do you have these recipe cards

    Sorry, I don't find anything like what you want. There's no Mexican category in the cards, only southwest. I looked all through that section and there's nothing like your looking for.

    Do you have these recipe cards

    Yes, I have these recipe cards. I just went to look and am not sure I found the recipe you want. It was in the southwest category and called chili tacos, but it wasn't like a calzone. Do you remember the name of the recipe and the category it was in?

    Has anyone made Corned Beef before?

    I've been lurking here for a while and this question caught my eye the day it was posted. I decided to join today so I could add my thoughts. Like Andy M., I grew up eating the grey corned beef. I grew up a little further upstate from Boston. I can't buy it anymore as we've moved away. I've...
