[CnD] (no subject)
Hi everyone, On a site called diabetes forecast, I found an unusual feature that interested me. Along with all the usual sharing possibilities, there was a link offering listen to text. I've never seen that before. I'll post a recipe as soon as I can figure out how best to do that.

Re: [CnD] Golden brown.
I hope my answer will make sense. It really depends on what you are cooking. When referring to casseroles and similar dishes, the recipe will sometimes say something like until golden brown and bubbly. When cooking alone, I concentrate on the bubbly which sort of sounds like sizzling. When talking about cakes, brownies, etc. you can tell if they are done by sticking a knife or toothpick into them. If it comes out clean, or nearly so in some cases, it's done. When baking bread, you can usually tap it with a finger. If it sounds hollow, it's usually done. I am sure other group members will have other ideas and suggestions, but I hope this response provides some help for you.

[CnD] Question: How to remove rug burn marks
Hi all, When cooking today, a square piece of paper towel fell on the stove and started to burn. I, in my infinite wisdom, didn't just pick it up and throw it in the sink next to me; instead I picked it up and ran for the other sink, which was about ten steps or so away, shaking the paper towel wildly as I went. As you can tell, it did get worse, and by the time I got to the other sink, it was blazing. I threw it toward the sink, but it flipped in the air and landed on the rug. It went out very quickly, but it did manage to burn the rug a bit. First, lessons for those that might not have experienced such a thing: 1. Always keep your cool. Losing your cool will lead to making stupid decisions in the heat of the moment. 2. Never shake a burning paper towel. It will cause the paper towel to burn even worse. 3. Do not throw a paper towel. Drop it. Throwing will just make it flip around in the air and land on the ground. Try throwing a paper towel (one that hopefully isn't burning); you'll see what I mean. 4. If you burn your hand, quickly stick it in cold water for five minutes for first degree burns, and ten minutes for second degree burns. Most burns in the kitchen are first-degree, but if you feel the lower layer of your skin has also been burned, keep your hand in cold water for ten minutes. Now, on to my question. Since my parents don't know I've made such a mess, and they will probably figure it out once they get home in two days or so, what do you suggest I do to fix the burned rug? It is a very small spot, about the length of my middle finger. Hope this helps someone, and someone can help me in return! :) ___ Cookinginthedark mailing list Cookinginthedark@acbradio.org http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark

[CnD] the color in cooking - Re: Golden brown.
You are supposed to bake scallops until they are opaque. Um, OK? How would I know? They always look the same to me. I'm extremely color blind. (ornery grin). Actually, this brings up a thought: When sighted people who are color blind cook, how do they know these things? I'll bet the recipe writers never give that a thought. --- Be positive!

Re: [CnD] the color in cooking - Re: Golden brown.
You don't. I depend a lot on timing. If the recipe says 20 minutes per pound, that's how long I cook it ... at the suggested temp. Things like starting temperature, size of what you're cooking have to be the same. If a chicken is cooked that way, it will be golden brown when it's done.

Re: [CnD] the color in cooking - Re: Golden brown.
I know that when grilling a sirloin steak that is about an inch thick on my electric grill, I turn it over after about 5 minutes and grill the other side for about 4 more minutes. This leaves it just beyond the stage of moo, which is how I like them I always had to grill Wee1's steak for a few more minutes per side. --- Be positive!
