Last evenings moonrise: We encounter wild burros in the desert: Wife tending to a wild Burros cut: Police and Law enforcement Depts from around the world come here annually for their Baker Ca. to Las Vegas Nv. foot relay run. Always around the first of spring. This upcoming is the...

A thread to share simple cooking cheats! I will start with one my wife suggested last week: Brush Marmite onto a chop or piece of meat before grilling or frying. I use Marmite quite a lot in sauces to give depth and a big umami hit, but I'd never considered using it directly on meat before...

I was considering making a post today but wondered whether it would be appropriate, having little idea of the age groups into which the majority of members fit. Just to give an idea, would members be prepared to post their age group, anonymously of course, in this poll? As I shall post first...

A friend recently told me that he's quite proud of something he made last night - wet burritos - and I told him that I know the feeling of making something that turns out so good that you are proud of what you did. Then, in my usual weird way of looking at things, I immediately thought of times...

I must begin by apologising if I'm in the wrong place but I have a question about, what I would see to be, the basic fundamentals of cooking meats and with nowhere else to turn the first thing I did was go to Google, which in turn lead me here. Yesterday morning I returned home from work, to see...

A thread about when things go wrong in the kitchen, For starters, there was this vegetarian curry last week: It had a promising list of ingredients - parsnips, cauliflower, fresh ginger - a bit of a korma type curry. All went well until I decided it looked a bit bland and would probably...

A sauce is considered to be a primary liquid flavored with sautéed seasonings and ingredients. In the gourmet world, before a sauce is complete, it is usually "reduced." This helps create an evaporation effect which makes the sauce more flavorful and thicker. Sometimes sauces are strained to...

Hello, I am looking for a "neutral" cooking oil that is purely for frying beef in the pan and won't interfere with the taste of the meat. Kind regards, Eating Chicken

Jewish cuisine is something I know little about and curiously there are not many recipe books dedicated to Jewish cooking. I recently acquired a book first published in 1947: Jewish Cookery by Florence Greenberg (and revised a few times) The version I have is from 1963. I've been trying to make...

I have an enameled Cast Iron Dutch oven. This one.. Its the 7 Qt. Oval Enameled Cast Iron Dutch Oven in the middle of the screen. (it seems the link is not going there directly) https://www.tramontina-usa.com/product-category/cooking/1070-sauce-pots-dutch-ovens/ The instructions are poor. I...

As the intro to this quiz says: Can your cooking stand up to Bobby Flay’s, or does your cooking knowledge end with instant ramen and boiled eggs? Take this quiz now to find out! I got 11 out of 12 - since I had no idea what a Denver Omelette was. Not that surprising as I think that omelette...

Flour and Baking Soda certainly qualify as Cooking Powders, but this discussion goes after much more. Recently, I posted a recipe for Sea Pie, where I created a Cashew powder with Mortar an Pestle. That's a good example. More recently, I made the dumb mistake of buying a package of Coffee...

Now, I'm probably not normal as I'm an obsessive cook and I spend a lot of the day cooking. Or so it seems. But here is the question - when you are at home, how many hours per day do you spend making meals? This includes preparation and any checking, turning, stirring of food - but not the time...

This is not the recipe I was planning to use for this but I thought this might be a good one for a guessing game. I'll still post the other when I cook it, First clues

I don't remember seeing one at all. :wink:

In my case, I hate chopping onions. Its nothing to do with the fact they can make you cry. A good cry can be quite therapeutic. I just hate the fact I have to chop onions so often. So many recipes call for chopped onions! Boring... Anyway - as someone who loves to cook, what do you hate about...

Three ingredients to start.
