[CnD] toaster oven
If anyone has recently bought a toaster oven and really likes it, would you please write and tell me about it. I am looking for a convection type, as large as possible and one that is basically easy to labelwhere necessary. Thank you. ___ Cookinginthedark mailing list Cookinginthedark@acbradio.org http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark
Re: [CnD] Cooking with turkey
I make my meatloaf with half turkey and half ground beef and find that it tastes the same as when I was using just ground beef. Of course, if one really prefers the taste of ground turkey, that's fine. - Original Message - From: "Charles Rivard via Cookinginthedark" To: ; "Bill Deatherage" Sent: Saturday, August 16, 2014 12:35 PM Subject: Re: [CnD] Cooking with turkey That's what you do.

Re: [CnD] baked Salmon recipe.
Lemon pepper is also great along with the olive oil and dill weed. - Original Message - From: "Teresa Mullen" To: Sent: Monday, January 20, 2014 6:17 PM Subject: Re: [CnD] baked Salmon recipe.

Before putting it in the oven, I put about a tablespoon of olive oil on it, then sprinkle it with dill weed, salt and pepper, then a little lemon juice. It is simple, but a hit every time. I like to serve it with fresh asparagus and baked potatoes. It makes a lovely meal for company or family. Enjoy! Alice ___ Cookinginthedark mailing list Cookinginthedark@acbradio.org http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark thank you, that does sound really good I heard that there are two types of salmon now, are there two kinds of salmon you can get one being Alaskan salmon or wild salmon or are they the same and one is there also farm fed salmon which one is better?

Re: [CnD] electric carving knife questions
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.

Re: [CnD] Urgently Need Input: Setting up a kitchen
Don’t forget a potato peeler. The one I have came from Pampered Chef and is the best one I’ve ever had. I also like using a grill-griddle as I find their use quite versatile. A beginning cook can even start some foods on them while they are cold simply by extending the cooking time. I use the microwave a lot and have a device for cooking bacon etc. which is available from the sources already named. Added to the labeling devices already suggested, I use a Pen Friend available from Blind Mice Mart. This is great because sighted friends and family can use it to record pertinent information and so much ore can h added such as cooking directions etc. I have a gadget that looks like a wide toothed comb which is helpful in slicing such items as tomatoes, cooked meats, etc. Some blind people like using the double spatulas available so that they can hold food on both sides when turning it. I was recently introduced to Fabric Paint for marking appliancesand found it great. If you like, I could send you pictures of any of these devices but not until Sunday. My only two suggestions for a name for the kitchen are blind corner kitchen or busy fingers kitchen; I’m sorry I can’t do any better than that. I think it would help this list if we knew what the students want to learn to cook. What a great project; lots of luck!On Oct 15, 2015, at 5:44 AM, Janet Acheson via Cookinginthedark wrote: > I am in the process of writing a grant proposal for which I have been given, > as usual, very short notice.

Re: [CnD] Flat top
I heartily second Penny’s opinion about flattopatoves. Very soon with your quick fingers, you can tell if the pot needs to be slightly moved to accommodate the burner. And they are certainly a breeze to clean! On Nov 9, 2015, at 9:29 PM, Penny Reeder via Cookinginthedark wrote: > I love, love, love my flat-top stove.
