Ice, Ice Baby

furniture grade cedar is safer to use than the stuff cut up for shakes and shingles as those are generally treated with a fire retardant

I use this for my smoker Oregon Scientific AW131 Grill Right Wireless Talking BBQ and Oven Thermometer Probe is good to 572 degrees. I really like it the when the girls voice says "It's nearly done"

Have not been influenced to buy any brand promoted by any TV Chef/personality. Been influenced to buy some items based on features recommended by them though. I like to watch Alton Brown because his quirkiness makes me smile and I like the challenge shows, Food Network Challenge, Throw Down...

I like most every fashion of eggs (no balut for me either). My favorite is over-snotty in place of syrup on pancakes. The more snotty it is, the better. Put three of them on a short stack and chop them all together with a dash of salt... Mmmm... If making a sammich, I do fried hard w/cheese...

That's the time you ask your friend where he/she got it. Tell them how much you like it and want to get more and you reenforce the fact that they pleased you with their gift.

I had it once. While in the Navy and in port at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. We had ham for dinner, they used the same ham for mid-rats (midnight snack for watch standers) and then again for breakfast. It never got cold enough when they put it in the overcrowded fridge and they only barely warmed it...

I thought that was bourbon that did that :lol:

Provoking Troll might have been a better screen name

I have some old crappy knives in one of those big bugly (ugly and bulky) wooden blocks. Starting to replace them with some better knives (not that they improve my cooking) and with the two new ones I have, the boning knife will go in one of the slots, however, the 8" chef's knife will not fit...

Just hope my wife doesn't want to take them back to Texas when she comes up to visit in June.

Neither my wife nor I have ever made Risotto and having had it for the first time last February I thought I might try making it. I kinda knew it wouldn’t work out right my first try. The first time I had it was at a company meeting dinner function where we had the resort chef give a cooking...

I was thinking it reminded me of a Pizza Knife.

Probably would've been better off with a Slap Chop.

I can't see using this thing in a bowl.. She had one that had a regular handle, not like the twin bladed Mezzaluna. Giada De Laurentiis™ for Target® Stainless Steel Mezzaluna Knife : Target

1/2 can of BKF, the 18VDC power drill with the Mother's polishing ball (used normally for polishing car wheels and such), a 1/3 of a can of Nev-R-Dull metal polish and 2 hours of buffing later and I can only see 1 of the larger spots. Drill is recharging now. OK... I'm kidding, I did get...

Well, I have to run to Ace Hardware today anyhow, I'll pick some Barkeepers friend up and see if I can remove them.

Never even heard of a Mezzaluna Knife until I happened upon a commercial with Giada De Laurentiis hawking her knife brand at Target. The question is, is a Mezzaluna Knife a suitable substitute for a Chef Knife, a needed addition or what?

OK, these aren't dishwasher spots, hand washed it and towel dried it right away and since I got them from Amazon.com I can't just take it back. Gonna be some shipping involved. If I can clean them up I'll be fine with that. Sent Cuisinart an email to their customer service people and will...

In the new Cuisinart Multiclad set I bought I cooked some peas in the 1.5 Qt pan. Only thing in the pan was water, frozen peas and some salt. There was nothing left in the sauce pan after serving. No salty peas sitting on the bottom or anything like that. This is what it looked like after I...

Delivered today. Pan fried some boneless chicken thighs in EVOO. Turned out pretty good and I surprised myself in that only the first piece gave me trouble with a little sticking. Gonna be a learning curve, but I think it'll be worth the effort. Thanks to everyone for all the input.

Can't say as I can recall any of my dreams. I'm sure I dream, just don't remember them when I wake up. I daydream a lot, does that count?

I suppose you could change your name to Floppy Mole...

The NEX has Cuisinart Chef Classic sets, Calphalon S/S and anodized sets as well as signature sets by Emeril, Paula Dean and Rachel Ray. I ended up ordering the Cuisinart Multiclad Pro S/S 12 piece cookware set through Amazon.

Doood, you are so making me want to run to the store and buy some wings. :mrgreen:
