Re: [CnD] Slow cooking
Sort of -- each liner is sort of single use, but that's for a single menu item. I've been able to put leftover queso back in the crock and heat it up again.

Re: [CnD] Slow cooking
Crock Pot liners are plastic bags that can handle the heat in a slow cooker. You put the liner in, and that makes clean-up a snap, as no food comes in contact with the crock. They don't affect cooking time or temperature to any definable amount, so they're also neutral. I also like them because I can prepare a meal the night before and start it early in the morning, whereas I can't do that without them because you never take a removable crock from the fridge to the heating unit without letting it reach room temperature first. (the temperature change will run the risk of shattering the crock) I find them at most grocery stores, and the one challenge I have is differentiating them from the oven roasting bags I've got.

Re: [CnD] fixing up canned fruit
If you have a whole coconut with the thick husk on the outside, a saw is the proper tool for first access. You saw around the husk until the husk separates from the hard shell coconut inside. Then remove the hard shell coconut. Next, you need an ice pick and a large mug. Three little eyes need puncturing with the ice pick and then you hold the coconut over the mug with the eyes facing down so the coconut water can drain into the mug. That you can drink. Finally, you need a hammer to shatter the hard coconut shell and then you peel the meat off the inside of the shell. It does involve some work, but I find it worthwhile.

If you don't want to do that, make sure the cup is over a bowl before poring the liquid in, just in case you spill. We used to mark the metal cup on the back of the handle with puff paint, which doesn't come off when washing it. 1/4 cup would have four little marks, etc. Just a thought.

Re: [CnD] Slow cooking
They come in two sizes larger one is for 6 quart crockpots. You get a box that appears to have plastic bags in it. Open one up and line crockpot with it then put your food in the liner and cook. When finished allow food to cool to safe handling temperature then lift the liner up from all of the edges of the pot and hold it together and lift the liner out of the pot. The pot stays clean and you need to figure out what container to empty the liner into so the food can be eaten. >From what I understand, each of those liners is single use.

Re: [CnD] Slow cooking
Take a small appliance to a vocational technical high school to the electronics course, you'll probably get the repair done and the student who does it will get a grade for that repair. The teacher likely will inspect the repair before you get the item returned too. That's a teaching opportunity for those students. You might want to look into that when need arises and you get a chance.

Re: [CnD] fixing up canned fruit
I usually have canned fruit and forget to eat it. I always have unsweetened coconut. I have allspice, but, don't use it much either. This will get tried out. -Original Message- From: Cookinginthedark On Behalf Of Jude DaShiell via Cookinginthedark Sent: Friday, February 21, 2020 5:36 PM To: cookinginthedark@acbradio.org Cc: Jude DaShiell Subject: [CnD] fixing up canned fruit A couple things I do with canned fruit if supplies are on hand is to put two tablespoons of unsweetened grated coconut on top of it and then shake some allspice onto the fruit. That improves the taste tremendously. Now I think of it, for breakfast if I'm having oatmeal I put a handful of frozen blueberries in the bowl first then add the normal ingredients. By the time the oatmeal is finished in the microwave, those berries are also thawed out and it's better eating that way.

Yep, both traditional Texas chili-con-queso and bourbon hot dogs are great party crock pot favorites. You can use a fondue pot for the latter recipe, of course, but the former is a problem without a slow cooker, preferably with a liner too.

Re: [CnD] fixing up canned fruit
Portion control is the key along with fresh fruit rather than canned unless you get the fruit in its own juice. Good luck with fruit.

I still have my old crock pot from the mid 1970's. I broke the glass lid and can not find another one to fit it. I remember that the first ones were not removable. They were a pain to clean.

[CnD] slow cooker
I Googled it and came across an article In the Washington Post about the slow cooker. I did not know it was invented in 1940. Later on in that article it said that men are even using the slow cookers, Too. Some of them use it to make some of the dishes they serve for Super Bowl. Go look it up yourself.

I don't need to cook something longer than I would cook it in another setting. And I don't like many of the foods that slow cookers are used for. I like meat and fish breaded and baked, not braised. I want it to be crunchy on the outside. And I prefer many of my vegetables raw, and even in case of cooked vegetables, such as potatoes, I don't want them to taste braised and mushy. -Original Message- From: Cookinginthedark On Behalf Of Marie Rudys via Cookinginthedark Sent: Friday, February 21, 2020 1:48 PM To: cookinginthedark@acbradio.org Cc: Marie Rudys Subject: [CnD] Slow cooking Hello, everyone!! I have been using slow cookers for forty years, and never had any of them burn up. They use no more power than a lightbulb, to be honest about it. That is why it is perfectly safe to let it do its job whether or not you are Home. Low is around 250 degrees and high is 300 or so. Like a slow oven, really. I read that in the original Rival Crockpot Cookbook Back in the 1980's, and that information has stayed with me Ever since. I don't have to monitor it so closely, either. I never had a slow cooker boil over, either. It is not supposed to. Those of you who use one regularly know what I'm on about. I have gone out with the pot on low and when I got home tired, There is my food ready to eat. I never, ever had a Slow cooker catch fire or short out on me. Not one. I am cooking a roast now, with pearl onions and baby carrots And some potatoes. I did not put too much water In the bottom, because I know there will be more liquid as the meat Cooks. I am going to make some gravy from that. I use it at least once a month, when I Really want to slow cook something. The Hamilton Beach cooks slightly faster than the Rival I used to have back in the 1980's. But I just cook my roast the same Way I did back in those days.

[CnD] fixing up canned fruit
A couple things I do with canned fruit if supplies are on hand is to put two tablespoons of unsweetened grated coconut on top of it and then shake some allspice onto the fruit. That improves the taste tremendously. Now I think of it, for breakfast if I'm having oatmeal I put a handful of frozen blueberries in the bowl first then add the normal ingredients. By the time the oatmeal is finished in the microwave, those berries are also thawed out and it's better eating that way. If you can get people from the Philipines to start writing about their deserts, that's good cooking! -- ___ Cookinginthedark mailing list Cookinginthedark@acbradio.org http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark
Re: [CnD] Measuring tips
I always pour liquids in the sink, or at least over a bowl, whether for measuring or for any other purpose. -Original Message- From: Cookinginthedark On Behalf Of Linda S via Cookinginthedark Sent: Friday, February 21, 2020 1:18 PM To: cookinginthedark@acbradio.org Cc: Linda S Subject: Re: [CnD] Measuring tips Good morning: Here is a technique that we used when I was teaching cooking. For measuring liquid, we bent the metal cup a little to measure for example, oil. We would pour the oil in a clean jar and dip it out when needed. If you don't want to do that, make sure the cup is over a bowl before poring the liquid in, just in case you spill. We used to mark the metal cup on the back of the handle with puff paint, which doesn't come off when washing it. 1/4 cup would have four little marks, etc. Just a thought. Everyone has their own way of doing things. -Original Message- From: Cookinginthedark [mailto:cookinginthedark-boun...@acbradio.org] On Behalf Of Marie Rudys via Cookinginthedark Sent: Friday, February 21, 2020 10:30 AM To: cookinginthedark@acbradio.org Cc: Marie Rudys Subject: Re: [CnD] Measuring tips No, the metal cups don't have braille on them And the ones I used to have were like miniature saucepans.

[CnD] Slow cooking
Good afternoon, everyone!! I checked up on the roast and added some cream of mushrooms soup. But, I had to divide the can in half because it is a big one. So, I have the other half in a container for another use. I am cooking the roast on high because I know I am going to want Some later this afternoon. By the way, if anyone uses cannellini beans regularly, I would like some new recipes. I have 3 cans sitting In my pantry, and I would like to use them eventually. Some can be for the slow cooker, and some for the regular oven. Thanks so much.

Re: [CnD] Slow cooking
That's good. Beans don't like me, and I have Trouble with the kind you have to cook and soak a long time. I was not raised on them, so I guess that figures. For some reason, I can eat those Italian cannellini beans without any Problems. Maybe because they are already prepared and I just drain the can and add them to my kind of bean dish.

Re: [CnD] Measuring tips
Afternoon, I have a stainless steel set of both measuring cups and spoons I got from Amazon. They don't have braille on them, but the cups do have a little hole at the end of the handle so a thin ring could be put through it to hold the cups together. The cups come in 1 cup, 3/4 cup, 2/3 cup, 1/2 cup, 1/3 cup, 1/4 cup and 1/8 cup. The numbers are raised, in small size at the top of the cup. I can make out the number somewhat with my finger. The stainless spoons do come on a ring and have the sizes of 1 tablespoon, 1/2 tablespoon (also known as 1 1/2 teaspoons), 1 teaspoon, 1/2 teaspoon, 1/4 teaspoon and 1/8 teaspoon. Hope everyone has a nice weekend. Jeanne On 2/21/20, Linda S via Cookinginthedark wrote: > Good morning: > Here is a technique that we used when I was teaching cooking.

Re: [CnD] Slow cooking
You know, this triggered a memory for me.My grandma was a cook in a hospital in Nebraska in the fifties. I remember that she would say that she added coffee to gravies to make them more rich, and a little coffee and cinnamon to her chocolate cakes to bring out the flavor. She was the best cook ever in my mind. This is a great memory for me.

Re: [CnD] Measuring tips
Not sure of the metal involved -- the impression I got was that they were chromed. And I'm not the one to ask about Braille, as I don't read it.

Re: [CnD] Measuring tips
Good morning: Here is a technique that we used when I was teaching cooking. For measuring liquid, we bent the metal cup a little to measure for example, oil. We would pour the oil in a clean jar and dip it out when needed. If you don't want to do that, make sure the cup is over a bowl before poring the liquid in, just in case you spill. We used to mark the metal cup on the back of the handle with puff paint, which doesn't come off when washing it. 1/4 cup would have four little marks, etc. Just a thought. Everyone has their own way of doing things. -Original Message- From: Cookinginthedark [mailto:cookinginthedark-boun...@acbradio.org] On Behalf Of Marie Rudys via Cookinginthedark Sent: Friday, February 21, 2020 10:30 AM To: cookinginthedark@acbradio.org Cc: Marie Rudys Subject: Re: [CnD] Measuring tips No, the metal cups don't have braille on them And the ones I used to have were like miniature saucepans.

[CnD] Slow cooking
Hello, everyone!! I have been using slow cookers for forty years, and never had any of them burn up. They use no more power than a lightbulb, to be honest about it. That is why it is perfectly safe to let it do its job whether or not you are Home. Low is around 250 degrees and high is 300 or so. Like a slow oven, really. I read that in the original Rival Crockpot Cookbook Back in the 1980's, and that information has stayed with me Ever since. I don't have to monitor it so closely, either. I never had a slow cooker boil over, either. It is not supposed to. Those of you who use one regularly know what I'm on about. I have gone out with the pot on low and when I got home tired, There is my food ready to eat. I never, ever had a Slow cooker catch fire or short out on me. Not one. I am cooking a roast now, with pearl onions and baby carrots And some potatoes. I did not put too much water In the bottom, because I know there will be more liquid as the meat Cooks. I am going to make some gravy from that. I use it at least once a month, when I Really want to slow cook something. The Hamilton Beach cooks slightly faster than the Rival I used to have back in the 1980's. But I just cook my roast the same Way I did back in those days.

Re: [CnD] Sort of success??? Maybe???
Once cooking stops, take into account the carry over temperature. Food will increase in temperature for a few minutes if left alone and then decrease in temperature. I think you allow 10 minutes after finishing cooking and test the temperature which may have actually gotten to 165F by means of carry over. A test for doneness with meat on bone is if the meat comes off the bone with difficulty, it needs more cooking.

Re: [CnD] Sort of success??? Maybe???
OK good to know with the convection oven I looked it up online and it said depending on how many pounds of chicken do you have to cook it for 25 to 30 minutes at 375° but now that I know that I’ll try doing it at that temperature for maybe like an hour but personally I think that’s the kind of thing I’ll start doing in the slow cooker and just be home for it because I’m looking for sort of quicker meats Like maybe pork and beef It’s just really hard to get something of that internal temperature in the convection oven I feel like Sent from my iPhone > On Feb 21, 2020, at 1:16 AM, Immigrant via Cookinginthedark > wrote: > > I don't have a meat thermometer, or any cooking thermometer for that matter. > I judge doneness of meat by time, by smell, and by touch.

[CnD] labeling Appliances was Maybe it is something else
Hi. Yes, puff paint is much easier and inexpensive. I've used puff paint to label oven dials before. The trick to making it stay on is wiping down the surface with rubbing alcohol before putting the paint on. This also works when using bumps or even dymo tape. I've got my current microwave labeled in this way. It's an Emerson, and I have the number pad labled in clear dymo tape with Braille on it. It also has quick cooking buttons, and I labeled those with one or two letters describing what the button does. PC for pop corn, for example. I can't set the clock or use the power level functions on this mainstream microwave, but I've used it long enough so I can judge cooking times.

[CnD] Topic change to accessible charcoal grills Was "RE: High Marks"
Hello, I can't seem to send messages to the list other than when I reply to an email, so here goes: I'm moving o a house and I want to purchase a charcoal grill. I'm wondering if anyone has any tips on accessible grills and best types of charcoal to use. Any other tips would be helpful too. I've used a charcoal grill in the past, but it's been a while so any suggestions would be appreciated.

I am just thinking, I may have gotten the name of that Stuff wrong. I remember it came in a tube and you can use that semi solid Material to mark appliances and things where braille labels would be Too big or not stick too well, and that stuff would Stay on for ages. My late sighted friend Howard marked his Microwave for me so I could use it without asking him all the time. When that microwave went out, he got another one, but by then, I did not Live in the same building anymore and there was no need to share that Microwave. It's different when someone can see. They don't need it unless their sight Is dimming. Whatever that stuff is called, if someone remembers, I thought it was Hi Marks. Sure wish I had some of that just in case.

He does not recommend blind people use microwave ovens,. He did not revise the book or change his mind about it, though. There are easy recipes from stove top to oven in that one. Oh, another book on Bard I also recommend is Cooking Without Looking by Esther Knudson Tipps; there are two different audiobooks, Each read by a different narrator. The one read by the man is read by a blind Person who is reading from a braille copy. It is an old book, but has useful information In it as well.

It turned out just fine. I don't know if I would use the mayonnaise again or not as the agent to stick the bread crumbs onto the meat. I could still taste the mayonnaise after cooking. Not everybody would though. I would certainly use it in a pinch or if in a great hurry. It turned out better than I thought it might, the topping stuck to the meat and crispened on both sides, even though I didn't turn the meat. The chop did not stick to the pan, which I did butter ahead of time, the pan was easy enough to wash, and the meat was cooked through. I cooked it for 30 minutes at 350 degrees using the convection setting on the talking toaster oven. The chop was a thick center cut boneless chop, at least 3/4 inch thick. It was cooked in the center. When you use the talking thermometer, put it in the meat at an angle to get the most accurate reading. You don't want the tip to exit to the bottom of the pan, nor to rest on top of the meat, or to touch bones. If you don't get enough of the tip into the meat, your temperature will register too low. And as for the pan, I save pie tins when they come without air holes in the bottoms, and if I run low I purchase a stack of them from the grocery store. I butter or oil the bottom of the pie tin and just go for it. It saves the trouble of lining with foil, and the foil doesn't stick to the food that way either. If my food sticks to the pie tin I don't feel too bad about throwing it away. When I cook pizza, I put parchment paper on the pizza pan before I put my crust on the pan. If the crust is made from
