Re: [CnD] Question About Types Of Mustard

[Charis Austin via Cookinginthedark]

Lisa:

This is the information I found when I did a Google search. This would probably 
depend on how spicy you want what you are making.

The terms dry mustard, ground mustard, mustard flour, ground mustard seed and 
dry mustard powder all refer to the same thing. They refer to the ground seeds 
of any one of several species of mustard plant.

Mustard powder has a hot flavor of varying strengths and is a versatile spice 
used in many meat, fish, chicken and vegetable dishes. The various types of 
mustard come from the different kinds of mustard plant.

White or yellow mustard seeds are relatively large and the mildest in flavor. 
These are used in typical ballpark, yellow mustards.
Brown or Asian mustard seeds are smaller and sharper in flavor; they are used 
in pickling and in producing European and Chinese mustards.
Black mustard seeds are small and the most pungent of the three; they are not 
often seen since they are hard to grow and have been largely replaced in the 
market with the brown variety.
Mustard seeds may also be blended together. English mustards, for example, 
typically use a combination of white and brown mustard seeds. The leaves of the 
mustard plant are called mustard greens and are used in some recipes.

Mustard seeds may be stored for up to a year in a cool, dry place. Ground 
mustard or powdered mustard can be stored for up to six months.

Subject: [CnD] Question About Types Of Mustard

Hi, all.


I'm making a dill vinaigrette that calls for dry mustard.


I've heard of ground mustard, and I have Dijon mustard.  The one dry 
mustard I've found at my local grocery store is in a 4 oz. jar.  I 
thought ground mustard was the same thing as dry, but apparently not.


Is there a huge difference?  could I just use ground mustard instead?  
It's cheaper by several dollars.


TIA for the help.

Re: [CnD] Which Instant Pot?

I don't think you can get the Bluetooth one anymore, but that's the one I

after that first not very accessible experience.  If I needed to buy one
now, I might even call the company and see if they know.

Hi,

I have been searching for the model number that you gave and can’t find it. I

similar but I haven’t decided whether I want it yet. We even looked on the 
Sam’s Club page.

Look for the pasta pot. There’s a set of two pans that works on the same

is a 6 quart pan.

Re: [CnD] instant pot with Wi-Fi___33

[Charis Austin via Cookinginthedark]

Hello:

The app is called Instant Pot. I have downloaded the app and it has a lot of 
recipes. In addition, once you create an account you have access to the 
controls. It looks very similar to the Smart Cooker app that controls the 
Bluetooth model.

I believe that the Bluetooth model was discontinued because they were making 
the wifi one. There seems to be a bigger range with the wifi model.

Re: [CnD] Cutting Pies

[Charis Austin via Cookinginthedark]

Hi,

You can get commercial pie cutting guides which will cut pies into 6, 7, or 8 
slices. Basically what you do is place them over the pie and press down. They 
should say what size pie they work with. The ones I've seen work with 9 inch 
pie crusts. They are often sold by  commercial restaurant suppliers. Do a 
search for pie cutting guide.

Re: [CnD] Instant Pot

[Charis Austin via Cookinginthedark]

Hi,

Particularly with things such as dry beans and pasta you can't fill the pot so 
you actually aren't getting six quarts of food out of it.

Re: [CnD] Instant Pot

[Charis Austin via Cookinginthedark]

Penny,

I have done chickens, turkey breasts, white rice, and many casseroles.

There is a Facebook group called Enable Kitchen which was started for members 
who are blind. It is a low traffic group at this point. 


Another place to learn about these cookers is to search the Cooking with the 
Hazelnuts podcasts on ACB Radio. They do three or four podcasts, one of which 
describes the machine. They specifically talk about the model which is 
controlled with  the iPhone app. They gave a good eescription of the buttons 
too.

Only the 6 quart model is available to work with the app. A number of people 
have asked for an 8 quart model.

I got an Instant Pot for Christmas. I had never cooked with a pressure cooker 
before and have to admit that I was nervous about it. I love the Instant Pot! 
What I like best is the blue tooth connectivity. I can control the pot, and 
even better, know exactly what it's doing from anywhere in my house. I 
particularly like the Instant Pot for making hard-cooked eggs (4 minutes under 
pressure, 4 minutes to release pressure, 4 minutes in an ice-water bath, and 
they peel perfectly and are perfectly well done! Also, I love the Instant Pot 
for dry beans. I like to make a turkey breast in the IP -- 30 minutes from 
coming-up-to-pressure until done, and much more flavorful than even oven 
roasted! I'm still trying to perfect steel cut oats and rice, but I will get 
there, I'm sure!

Amazon.com is having their annual Prime (Summer) Days sale beginning on the 
10th of July. I would encourage anyone to invest in the Instant Pot! If you're 
blind and use an IPhone or IPad, make sure you get the one that's got the blue 
tooth connectivity built in!

There are a number of Instant Pot Facebook groups. I have learned a lot from 
joining several of these groups.

I wish that BARD or BookShare would make one of the many Instant Pot recipes 
books available, but I haven't found any yet. There are a number of 
pressure-cooking cookbooks available on BookShare though, and I have learned a 
lot from these as well.

Happy cooking!
Penny

Hello,

It is a pressure cooker that has many functions, including but not limited to: 
yogurt maker, slow cooker, rice cooker, poultry, beans/chilli. The manufacturer 
says that you can get rid of your other appliances. I have not.

I belong to an Instant Pot Facebook group and there are a number of people in 
the group who have more than one.

The buttons are raised so you don't have to use the app, but there are 118 of 
them and we had difficulty getting labels to stick on them and we don't trust 
our memory to remember all of the functions.

Hello drew,

I own an Instant Pot which I have had for about ten months. I got the Smart 
Cooker which can be controlled with an Android or iPhone app. I like it because 
if there is a problem you will most likely get a message telling you what the 
problem is.

I have made roasts, spaghetti, hard boiled eggs, meat loaf, cakes, and probably 
many other things that I can't think of right now.

I purchased mine from Amazon. Right now it is selling for $155.99 I think.

I failed to mention that I mainly use my iGrill when I’m smoking meat in my 
Masterbuilt electric smoker.  In fact, I just smoked a turkey breast over the 
weekend and used the iGrill to monitor the cooking temperature to know when  
the meat reached 165 degrees.  The iGrill can be used on an actual grill as 
well.  The range of the bluetooth works quite well for my situation as my 
smoker is 60 to 80 feet from my house.  I can go anywhere in my yard and still 
not lose connection.  I can go inside my house and still get reception as long 
as I stay near the back of the house.  Going to the front door causes the 
connection to drop.  I really love having this little gadget.

I use white vinegar. Use a mixture of water and vinegar, run it through and 
then it sit until tomorrow morning. After I run it through I usually sycle

Okay,
So, I have a dentist appointment, a Board of Directors meeting, and a speaking

morning and, while it won’t help for today, does anyone have any 
recommendations regarding model numbers of either Kurig or similar machines?
I am specifically looking for a one cup coffee maker using either Kcups 
or similar pods.
Or, and maybe this would be even a better option, does anyone have a 
good method for cleaning the inside of the machine?  It appears that the coffee 
gets made, but can not make it into the cup.
Thanks so much for your assistance.
Happy Tuesday!

Hi,

This is on special until tomorrow. If you order now you save $2.00. I have not 
ordered this so only know what was in the message I received. 

*New Knife Glider

When is the last time you cut yourself prepping food? Every year millions of 
people cut themselves while preparing food in the kitchen no matter
what their experience level. The Knife Glider shields your hands and reduces 
the danger of chopping, peeling, and slicing any type of food, hot or cold.
It safely removes foods stuck on the knife after chopping. Lastly, it helps 
safely transport food from the chopping board to your pot or pan. Easily pop
on the Peeling Attachment and protect your hands while peeling potatoes, 
cucumbers, or carrots. The Meat Attachment allows you to hold hot meat without
being burned. The Knife Glider makes it safer to prepare healthy food. People 
using The Knife Glider also prepare food faster. You will spend less time
in the kitchen and more time doing the things you enjoy!
CUT: Use the Knife Glider?s Cutting Slit to cut any large food. Cut fruits, 
vegetables, or meat without the risk of cutting yourself. The Cutting Slitis
perfect for anyhard-to-cut food. It is the perfect companion for the household 
cook.

CHOP: Chopping has never been so easy and safe. Now you can make sure your 
vegetables and fruits salads are chopped to perfection every time by keeping
your
food in place, all without chopping your finger!

PEEL: No more need to hold the cucumber with your hand to peel it.No more 
potatoes slipping while peeling them with the knife or peeler. Use the Peeling
attachment
and see how easy it is to do the job with the Knife Glider.

MEAT ATTACHMENT: Use the meat attachment to hold food in place as you cut 
without getting burned! Perfect for carving chicken, turkey, roast, and cutting
hot meat fresh
off the grill.

GLIDE: Never again have something stuck onyour knife and risk gliding it with 
your fingers.Glide your food off the knife safely! Cut that hard jicama
or carrot
and watchit fall into your board using the glide slit in the Knife Glider.

SCOOP / PUSH: Don?t dull your blade scraping your chopped food on your cutting 
board. Put your knife down and use The Knife Glider to easily scoop or push
your chopped
food from your cutting board to your pot or pan.

attachments into one simple unit.

Subject: [CnD] Report on New Products

Just wanted to report on the latest things I bought from Blind Mice Mart.  I 
never had a good vegetable peeler so I never bothered to peel things, but 
tonight I tried my ceramic Y style vegetable peeler that I got last week 
from Blind Mice Mart.  I had a carrot with some of that hairy stuff on the 
outside so I thought I would see how the peeler worked and it was great. 
The peels were very thin so I didn't waste much.  Then I tried an old apple 
and that worked well too.  I had some store bought cole slaw which was okay 
but it was missing something. so I added the carrot and apples which made it 
delicious.  I forgot to mention that I tried my new pear apple corer and 
that worked wonderfully too.  Thank you Dale.  I also got the knife glider 
but I was not able to figure that out tonight.  I'll report when I do.

Re: [CnD] potroast in the electric pressure cooker

[Charis Austin via Cookinginthedark]

Pressure Cooker Pot Roast
Source: www.pressurecookingtoday.com

If you want to add vegetables, add them at the end. Feel free to email me off 
list if you have questions.

Cook meat 20 min. per pound.

•   3 1/2 lb. Beef Chuck or Rump Roast
•   1 tablespoon vegetable oil
•   1 large onion, roughly chopped
•   1 1/2 cup water or beef broth (I used water with a Swanson Beef Flavor 
Boost packet.)
•   2 bay leaves

Directions

1.  Pat roast dry and season liberally with Lemon Pepper (or your favorite 
seasoning).
2.  Put oil in the cooking pot and select browning (or Saute on the Instant 
Pot). When oil begins to sizzle, brown meat on both sides. Remove roast from 
the cooking pot and add onions, water and bay leaves. Put roast back in the 
cooking pot on top of the onions.
3.  Select High Pressure. Set timer for 70 minutes. (Should reach high 
pressure in about 10 minutes.) When beep sounds turn off pressure cooker and 
use a natural pressure release to release pressure (approximately 20 minutes). 
You can also use a Natural Pressure for 10 minutes, followed by Quick Pressure 
Release. When valve drops carefully remove the lid.
4.  Remove roast to a serving platter. Strain juices and discard onion and 
bay leaves. Thicken juices in cooking pot on simmer with a slurry of water and 
flour or cornstarch to make gravy.

Subject: [CnD] potroast in the electric pressure cooker

I'm all over google looking for a recipie for my 2 lbs potroast.

Some of these recipies, based on the description, folks are using the older 
electric pressure cookers and I'm to stupid to modify or figure out how to make 
it work.



Folks always say they love these things because it's just put all of the stuff 
in, push a button and it's done 45 minutes later.

Any suggestions on how I should prep mine for dinner tonight?

I've been putting the roast in a broth and cooking it that way with begetables 
and stuff but I'm not satisfied. I understand trial and error but now I'm 
consulting you professionals.

Thoughts and suggestions are appreciated.

Re: [CnD] Rice freeze it or not?

[Charis Austin via Cookinginthedark]

Hello,

Yes you can freeze rice. Cook extra, let it cool so that it will be less likely 
to stick together. Freeze in freezer containers or plastic bags. When reheating 
add 2 tbsp of liquid for each cup of rice that you are using. It can be kept up 
to six months.

Re: [CnD] Deep fryers

[Charis Austin via Cookinginthedark]

Hello,

We have done frozen French Fries, onion rings, egg rolls and pizza rolls. All 
have turned out crispy like you would want them. In addition, I have done baked 
potatoes, which were not frozen, and they came out crisp like they were done in 
the oven. We just put a little oil on the potatoes, poked holes in them, and 
let them cook for 40 minutes. 

It takes some experimentation in terms of timing. If you are cooking frozen 
food, go by the directions on the package. 

When we were looking, we were more concerned about controls that we could 
operate so we did not do a lot of comparison shopping. We time things with our 
iPhones or timer and don't specifically use the one on the machine. We keep the 
temperature on high (380) degrees) so there is nothing to adjust. 

There is no putting food into hot oil and no having to figure out what to do 
with the oil when you are done. It is a matter of choice which one you get.

Charis

I notice that you mentioned the health benefit, but, for me at least, the 
flavor and texture are the most important things.  How are these factors 
when comparing a deep fryer and an air fryer?  I do know that my electric 
popcorn popper makes far superior popcorn compared to the extremely dry hot 
air poppers, and I wonder if the same is true for a hot air fryer compared 
to a deep fryer.  Also, what would be the price difference between fryers of 
the same approximate size?  Also, what about temperature control and cooking 
times between units?  Thanks.

Re: [CnD] Wieners and Sour Kraut:

[Charis Austin via Cookinginthedark]

Barley is a grain and there two dersions of it, one cooks in a short amount of 
tine similar to minute rice. The other takes 45-60 minutes! I like the one that 
cooks longer. 

It does not have a strong taste! It has lots of food value.

I bake the sausage in the oven for about an hour to get the fat out of it

Then I put a chopped onion in the sour kraut.
My Grand Mother told me to put a tablespoon or 2 of whole uncooked barley in to 
thicken the juice before you start to cook the sour kraut.
Not more than a tablespoon or 2.
The apple gives a nice touch also, it does sweeten the sour kraut a little.

Re: [CnD] air fryers

[Charis Austin via Cookinginthedark]

Hi,

Yes you can do frozen French fries. Yum! 

You use the basket for things that it does not matter if the oil drips through.

You can make things such as biscuits, macaroni and cheese, desserts, etc. I 
would use a pan for them. 

As far as using accessories, if you have an oven-proof dish that would fit in 
the basket, you should be able to use it instead of a pan.

fryer is a Farberwear. I asoome that you would use the basket for anything that 
you are frying with a breading. I also wish that they had put more information 
in the book about doing any frozen foods. I especially wanted to know if you

Re: [CnD] air fryers

Claudia,

I believe that this one is a new unit. They had an earlier version. I have been 
told that it actually has buttons on it. If I did not have one, I would 
consider purchasing it. I read some of the comments and questions on Facebook 
and it seems like we could use it.

Be sure to ask the customer service representatives any questions you have.

Re: [CnD] air fryers

[Charis Austin via Cookinginthedark]

The one I purchased from Amazon is the 

"Philips HD9220/26 AirFryer..."

It only has a temperature dial and the timer dial. The other ones I looked at 
had touch screens.

Re: [CnD] air fryers

[Charis Austin via Cookinginthedark]

The timer on the one I am using I set to 30 minutes, the maximum amount of 
time. I use another timer to time the heating time and cook time of the food 
that I am using.

Shannon, how does the timer work?  I know you said it is raised, but
is there a way to set it without vision?  Forgive my ignorant
question.  I've never seen one of these fryers, and have been
considering getting one, but didn't know about the timers on them.

Re: [CnD] air fryers

[Charis Austin via Cookinginthedark]

Before actually using the machine, I read the manual which I got on line. I've 
made my cooking times based on information I saw in the manual. The unit heats 
up to 390 degrees. The time chart actually said to cook the French fries for 
ten minutes. 

Through experience you will know if the food is done.

Re: [CnD] air fryers

[Charis Austin via Cookinginthedark]

Hello,

Sorry about my slow reply, however, it's been a busy week. We have a Phillips 
Air Fryer which we are enjoying. We have liked everything we have made in it. 
Things we have cooked include frozen French fries and onion rings, frozen 
salmon bergers, and sliced mushrooms with a little olive oil drizeled over them 
and tossed to make sure they were covered. No oil was added to the other things 
cooked.

There are a number of models, some of which have touch screens. The one we have 
is easy to use; simply set the timer; let it heat up, and put your food in the 
basket, and cook. Shake it aobut half-way through cooking. 

Enjoy!

Charis Austin

Re: [CnD] using a pressure cooker/crock pot

[Charis Austin via Cookinginthedark]

Hello Everyone,

ACB Radio has a show entitled "Cooking with the Hazelnuts". I encourage 
everyone who is interested in purchasing an electric pressure cooker to listen 
to episodes 14 and 15. There is a lot of talk regarding accessibility of 
pressure cookers which I think will be very helpful.

Acbraido.org

You need to be careful regarding which model you purchase because many of them 
are programmable and many of them have touch panels. 

Charis
