Re: [CnD] new microwaves

2011-12-07 Thread Barbara Esposito

Hi Bill and all,
I have had Sharp microwaves for thirty years and find them to be a very 
accessible and easy to use product.
I like the model with the convection oven because it gives you so many 
choices for cooking things quickly and having them brown. It's especially 
good for broiling because you don't have to turn things over.

Hello,
we have been having problems with our microwave.  when ever you take the 
plate out to clean it and go to put it back in it is hard to get back in.  I 
am talking about the plate that goes  around.  I once had a sharp and it 
wasn't any problem to work with but this Panasonic is a challenge.  when the 
plate is in the microwave it seems to shift slightly from side to side.  and 
if you set a bowl on it it does not stay in the middle and has an effect on 
things you are cooking.  I make microwave fudge and I have had several 
batches that don't come out like they should.
so My wife and I are in the market for a new microwave and would be 
interested in any that people find that work well and is easy to operate.

Thank you in advance for your suggestions.

Re: [CnD] [CnD The Power of Tin foil

2011-02-26 Thread barbara esposito

Hi Listers,
Aluminum foil can be used for many things. When I was a girl scout leader, 
the girls earned their cooking badge on a camping trip. One of the things we 
did was baking a cake in a box in the sun. We covered a cardboard box that 
was big enough to hold a 9/13 inch foil baking pan with foil on the inside 
and outside. We mixed up a cake mix, put it in the foil baking pan, placed 
the pan in the foiled box and set it in the sun to bake. In about 3 hours, 
we had a cake. We were all amazed to find a fully cooked, perfectly eatable 
cake when we opened the box.  Of course, we have to give credit to Mother 
Nature for providing us with a warm, bright, sunny day

Re: [CnD] A question

2010-04-16 Thread barbara esposito

Sarah,
When something is browned, you can tell by touching it lightly with your 
finger, feeling it with a spatula, (it will feel rough in texture under the 
spatula) and/or by the smell it omits, and by timing it. For instance, if a 
recipe tells you to brown on both sides and says it will take 10 minutes to 
do so, it is safe to assume that you would cook it 5 minutes on each side. 
Around 4 minutes, I start checking by sliding my spatula under it to see if 
it feels rough and to make sure it is not sticking to the pan. It is not a 
good idea to keep sliding the spatula under it  priar to a minute or so 
before you plan to turn it over because some things such as hamburgers could 
start to come apart. Also, don't turn the burner up to high when browning 
something because the high heat could blacken it before you even think it is 
getting close to browning.  It is usually best to brown with a burner set to 
medium or low low medium.

Hope this advice helps.

There are many ways to do this; some people even utilize specialized
software packages, but this is what I do.


I have the following folders on my Compact Flash Card, and also on my
computer in a directory called CookBook:  Appetizers, Breakfast,
Breads, Holidays, Main Dishes, Miscellaneous (That's where I put the
household cleaners, the jams and jellies, the timetables, etc.),
Desserts, Soups, and Vegetables.  I copy recipes into these folders,
both on the computer and on the Compact Flash card, which I use with
my BrailleNote.  (Once I had a Compact Flash Card fail, so now I am
diligent about putting new recipes in both places).  I have thought
about copying everything onto an SD card to use with my Victor Reader
Stream -- I think this would work, since they are all .txt files -- 
but I haven't tried it yet.


If I have more than one recipe for the same thing, I simply add it to
the text file with that name, so, for example, I have several recipes
for Perfect Roast Beef, all of which are a little different.

If the recipes fit into more than one category, e.g., a cookie that
is a dessert, but which I also always make during the holidays, I put
the recipe file in both places.

I used to have one folder for Crock Pot (i.e., slow cooker)
recipes, but I found it was too hard to find what I wanted and I
wasn't looking there often enough for ideas, so now I identify a
recipe as being for the Crock Pot in the title, but store it in the
appropriate, e.g., desserts, breakfast, vegetables, or main dishes folder.

I usually store side dishes in the Vegetables folder, although once
in a while, I consider creating a new Side Dishes folder.  I have
also considered creating a salads and salad dressings folder but for
right now, salads are stored either in Vegetables or Main Dishes, and
dressings appear inside Vegetables, or in Miscellaneous.

I personally don't have a folder for casseroles. So, an oyster casserole
would go into my seafood folder. Otherwise, if a recipe overlaps a couple
of
categories, I put it into the category where the most pronounced
ingredient
belongs. For example, cheesy mushroom fish bake will go into the 
seafood

folder, not the mushrooms folder, because fish, not mushrooms, would be

Hi All,
Just wanted to report that the goose was successfuly cooked. It was 
delicious and a good meal was had by all. We served stuffing and green 
cabbage with it.
Yes, it was very greasy. We decided to boil it in salt water for a few 
minutes rather than putting it in brine for 12 hours. That resulted in a 
small mishap when my son-in-law decided to turn it over in the pot so the 
fat would cook out of it evenly. When he tried to pick it up with a meat 
fork and tongs, he got the top of it a little too close to the flame and it 
caught fire. We got it out quickly by coating it with salt. It required a 
lot of basting throughout its cooking time We rubbed it inside and out with 
a mixture of fresh rosemary, marjoram, sage, and margarine, salt and pepper. 
We cooked and basted him for four hours, let it sit for a few minutes and 
then carved it and dived into it. The only person who didn't like it was my 
daughter who doesn't like turkey either. It was good and sweet. Cleanup was 
nota breeze though because of

After 34 years of marriage, I'm finally getting to cook my husband's
goose, (smile.) My German son-in-law is used to having goose for
Christmas
dinner so he and I thought it would be an interesting adventure to cook
one this year. Goose is quite expensive so my husband bought a 14 pound
goose as his present to the family. We have a German cookbook that we're
going to use, but I thought I could maybe get some advice from the list.
Please help me cook my husband's goose.
Merry Christmas to all.
Barb

Re: [CnD] Shortening Question

2009-12-21 Thread barbara esposito
Shortening should have an expiration date on it. It's probably good though 
if it's really only been a few months.

Hi,

I was wondering if any of you know how long shortening is good for?  I 
have some in the cupboard, I think it's been sitting there for about 6 
months.  Would it be safe to use it?

Re: [CnD] Cheeseburger Paradise Soup Recipe

Hi all,
My family is not a fan of velveta cheese. Can anyone suggest any other 
cheese that might work well to replace velveta in this soup?

Well folks: I'm here in the u.s. visiting my fiancé for thanks-giving. This 
will be my first American t-giving and I want to do it up big.
We went and got a 12 pound turkey at the store. I have had it thawing all 
day so it will be ready to cook come morning.

How long should I put a 12 pounder on for? And at what temperature?
Thanks in advance.
-John and happy thanks giving to all.

Re: [CnD] how long and how high to cook turkey?

2009-11-25 Thread barbara esposito

Hi John,
Sorry to be the bearer of bad tidings, but, a 12 pound turkey left out all 
day will not be ready for tomorrow. What you can do is put it in the bathtub 
with a good bit of cold water. Hopefully, you haven't taken it out of its 
packaging because this won't work if you have done so. Let Mr. Turkey spend 
the night in the bathtub and see how he feels in the morning. The safest 
thing to do in terms of being sure that he is thawed is to have something 
else for dinner today and declair Thanksgiving to be on Sunday. He will have 
thawed in the frig by then. Then, you can clean out his inside with some 
cold water. Be sure to remove that neck, heart, and gibblets from his which 
will be in three plastic bags located inside the bird at his hind end and 
his neck end. Salt and pepper him inside and rub him inside with a little 
melted butter mixed with a little lemon juice and add a little poultry 
seasoning and garlic powder. Then grease him well with butter on the outside 
as well. One stick of butter melted will probably do the trick. Place him in 
a roasting pan, breast side up, and tent the pan with aluminum foil. Set him 
in a preheated oven at 350 and let him cook for 4 to 4 and a half hours, (20 
minutes per pound).  You will know he is done if his leg pulls away from the 
body easily.
Oh, I forgot to tell you to tie his legs together covering the opening at 
his bottom. This makes it easier to fit him in the pan. To test him, loosen 
the tie and see how easy it is to move the leg.
Hope my directions are clear to you. Also, I hope you get to read this right 
away so you can decide whether to bathe him or put him back in the frig till 
Sunday. Let us know how it works out for you.

Re: [CnD] Macaroni Cheese Recipe Request

2009-10-26 Thread barbara esposito

This recipe will make a full 9 by13 baking pan.
Ingredients
1 pound elbow macaroni
water to cook macaroni
1 tsp salt
2 tsp vegetable oil
2 eggs
1 pint sour cream
1 pint milk,
1 pound mild or sharp chedar cheese grated
half cup motzarella cheese shredded if desired
half to 2/3 stick of butter broken into chunks
Instructions
1. Cook macaroni in salted water with vegetable oil added to prevent them 
from sticking together
2. In medium size bowl, combine beaten eggs, sour cream, milk, a couple 
shakes of salt and pepper.

3. Grate cheese or cheat and buy it already grated and put in separate bowl.
4. To assemble, drain macaroni. Grease baking dish with butter. Spoon a 
layer of macaroni into dish. Add a layer of chedar cheese. Ladle a couple of 
ladles of sauce on top. Repeat with another layer of macaroni, cheese, and 
sauce. Repeat with third layer of macaroni, cheese, sauce. Sprinkle with 
motzarella and place chunks of butter evenly spaced on top. Cover and bake 
at 375 for about a half hour so it is heated through and cheese melts.
This is not cholesterol friendly, but it is soo good. My daughter thinks of 
it as comfort food.

I just do this when I make it:

Easy Macaroni and Cheese

1 cup elbow macaroni
6-8 slices Kraft American Cheese

Boil macaroni until tender.  Drain.  Add enough milk to make is a little
liquid.  Bring back to a boil.  Add a little bit of butter or margarine.
Tear up cheese and stir until melted.  Stir well, mixing cheese 
throughout.

Add salt as desired.
