Re: [CnD] electric carving knife questions

More power to those using an electric knife.  I'm horrified at the idea 
myself/weak smile.  I if I'm not careful occasionally get into enough 
trouble with regular knives let alone an electric one!  I know it's probably 
a matter of confidence, but have no desire to try it.

Years ago we used to have a meat slicer that was not electric but I 
considered it much safer to use by a blind person.

Charles, how about telling about your electric meat slicer. I would like 
to know where you got it and also a little about how it works. I would 
appreciate it. Thanks, Kerry

Subject: [CnD] electric carving knife questions

I've been thinking about getting an electric carving knife.  Although I do 
have an electric meat slicer, I'm thinking this might be quicker for 
slicing hams and other boneless pieces of meat, possibly.  I would like to 
hear from any totally blind people who have used one.


Questions:

Do they have an adjustable guide for slicing at desired thicknesses?

2.  If so, what are the thicknesses?

3.  What features should I look for?

4.  Any particular brands, and, if so, why or why not?

Thanks in advance.

Re: [CnD] Frying chicken and potatoes.

I agree with you on that, plus you won't get all that grease when you fry the 
chicken versus in the oven we use shake and bake a lot but I will like to know 
about the potatoes more if you can give me away how to do that when I had site 
I used to do the potatoes like that but forgot how to do them Plus I would like 
to stay away from cooking stuff in the oven due to trying to save on 
electricity! LOL

[CnD] Frying chicken and potatoes.

2015-07-23 Thread ajackson212--- via Cookinginthedark
Hi, Louise.
I think it is difficult for a person who is blind to turn potatoes in hot oil, 
chicken, maybe less so.  I would suggest cooking in the oven, seasoning and 
roasting the potatoes tossed with some oil, and the same for the chicken; 
breading it as you would to fry and baking at 375 degrees.
Hope this helps.
Blessings,
Alice

[CnD] Recipe: chicken spaghetti with cream of mushroom.

2015-07-23 Thread ajackson212--- via Cookinginthedark
Hi, Will,
You could use canned chicken broth, cook the breasts in that, dice them, and 
proceed with the recipe; it should turn out fine.
Hope this helps.
Blessings,
Alice
