    What preserves do you like?

    I make Jalapeno Jelly every year. We love to eat it with smoked salmon, cheese and crackers or spread it on top of brie and BBQ it on a cedar plank.

    Rock Crab

    Maybe someone in your area will have to help you. We have rock crab here in Nanaimo, BC Canada and I caught some one day. To me, I find it doesn't have much taste to it compared to the dungeness and king crab we get out here. I see there are quite a few recipes in the internet made with rock crab.

    Saving chicken juices?

    Strain the juices if necessary then add white wine to the pan with the juices, boil it down to thicken (may take a while depending on how much liquid you have) and you will have a nice sauce to drizzle over your chicken. Optional: Take off the heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter.

    Help With Spaghetti Suace

    Your right about that, Selkie; they are best from the garden. There is quite a difference. I do miss my vegetable garden but I can't see me trying to grow one on our boat!

    Crab Tarts

    Yes, that looks like what it turns out like but stuffed with the crab mixture of course. I am a bit of a calorie count person. I will see what it says on the box and compare. Thanks

    Stainless steel cleaner (oxalic acid)

    I love using my stainless steel fry pan. High heat is not recommended and may cause a mottled, rainbow-like "heat tint". This is natural to all stainless steel and is not harmful to foods cooked in the pan or to the pan's finish. Start with medium heat and reduce to a lower setting once the...

    Teflon-coated pans - no good?

    The quality of course makes a difference. Never put a coated pan on high heat. That is what is not good for you. Always start on med high, braise or saute then turn the heat down or finish in the oven in the same fry pan.

    Can you use the rough side of a sponge on stainless steel, enamel?

    If you soak your pan or pot for just a few minutes it should be easy to clean depending on the quality of the cookware. Also a metal utensil can be used on good quality coated frying pans without marking them now a days.
