I buy the heavy duty aluminum baking sheets from the Costco business center in Fife Washington. The 1/4 sheet is 9x13 and I paid a whopping $3.50 for mine. Heck, the 1/2 sheet was only $3.99! Once you've used one of these you'll never look back. Brown's cookie bottoms perfectly without burning...

For over 30 years I've been the turkey cook in my family and I've always stuffed the bird. Never had a problem. I tent with foil and baste often to keep things moist but I have been more and more concerned about possible food illnesses so this year I'm using the Americas Test Kitchen trick of...

I agree with potatoes on the side. Everything looks so dark against the stark white plate. Potatoes on the side would help even things out. Also the picture doesn't do it any justice because of the harsh shadows.

I have lots of different knives but find myself using only 3 or 4 on a regular basis. My go to knives are a MAC Chef 8, a Wusthof 4" paring, a Henckel 5" Santoku and a 5" boning knife by Victorinox, (same as Forschner Fibrox). If I only had 100 bucks I'd go with the Forschner line. They're good...

Thanks for the heads up, I just bought 2 for Christmas presents. It looks like they might be offering a little better deal, I paid just over $60 for both and that included shipping.

The 5 for 2 buck ones at BB&B

I've recently started making my own pasta an I've been trying to locate semolina flour and all I've been able to find were 2 pound packages for about $4.00 each. Well today I found the holy grail of semolina flour!! A 50 pound bag from a local resturant supply company for $21.00, kind of a no...

Thanks for all the reponses. Actually I'm planning on processing my own game; deer and elk mostly and after watching some of the game processing videos on YouTube I believe that I might be better off with a good meat saw. I'm thinking the 25" one that looks like a big hack saw. I did find a...

Ok, I've decided I need a meat cleaver to do some heavy work where I don't want to use my MAC chef's knife. Do I really need to spend as much for a cleaver as I did for my chef knife or will a less expensive alternative be fine? Any suggestions on brands? Thanks for any help.

I forgot one other ingredient I use, chopped fresh parsley. I put it in the sauce just before the cheese. Add the cheese, shut off the heat, continue to whisk until the cheese is fully incorporated and your done. I'll try the nutmeg next time. I've used nutmeg in other dishes that you'd think it...

I'll watch the temp a little closer next time. I did have a pretty good bubble going. Mine has butter, garlic, scallions, cream, and 1/2 Parmesan and 1/2 Romano. Not really classic but still good. I will also pre-cook mushrooms, shrimp, crab meat or chicken and add to the sauce at the very end.

fried liver and onions! How can anything that smells that good, taste that bad :yuk: Sorry, still can't eat that. Also never like lima beans but I love them in salads now.

I have a wonderfull Alfredo recipe that I use heavy cream in and tried to switch to half and half to make it a little healthier. Unfortunatly the sauce broke on me. Is there something I can do to avoid this happening?

My step mom suffered a stroke a couple years ago and lost some mobility in her left arm and hand. She loves to cook and it's very therapeutic too. My questions is because she finds it almost impossible to sharpen a knife with only one good hand will one of the Chef's Choice electric sharpeners...

Whole lotta love.....Led Zeppelin. Best live concert I've ever seen!!

Here's my new favorite, and the price is right too. Walmart.com: Tramontina 12" 18/10 TriPly-Clad Stainless Steel Jumbo Cooker: Kitchen & Dining

I bought the 10 piece set of Tramontina Tri Ply from WalMart and added the 12" jumbo cooker with lid and a 3 quart sauce pan. I couldn't be happier. They are by far the nicest cookware I've ever used. I plan on adding some other pieces as time goes on. The 10 piece set is such a good deal...

Ditto....plus they're just a fun place to go. Lots of good stuff not found in traditional american supermarkets.

I really do like cast iron but we have a ceramic top stove, (hate it!) and cast iron doesn't work very well on it, at least not for me. I'll have to wait for my next house to do a gas stove in the kitchen. Although I have been known to break out the Camp Chef propane stove on the back deck when...

Thanks for the replies. I saw the Bar Keepers Friend at BB&B last time I was there so I'll pick some up on my next trip.

I just recieved my new set of Tramontina Tri-Ply SS cookware. I got the 10 piece set and added a 4 Qt. sauce pan & lid and a nice big 5 Qt. saute pan & lid. This is some very pretty stuff!:chef: Do I need to do anything to it other than washing it before I use it? Any seasoning? Thanks for your...

We always do birthday dinners where the birthday boy/girl gets to pick what they want for dinner. By far the most popular is my Chicken Divan. I always make a double batch just to make sure there's enough for everyone. Easy and quick but a real crowd pleaser.

I picked one up at BB&B for 12 bucks and immediately put it to use making shrimp ceviche. Worked great and the shrimp was excellent too!

Plus I have arthritis in my hands which keeps me from squeezing anymore than just a few. If I need to do several, a squeezer will be beneficial. Thanks for the heads up on BB&B coupons, in todays economy every little bit helps.

ThanksJamesS, it was the Amco model. I looked a picture of it on Bed, Bath & Beyonds website and that's the one. Thanks for your help.
