Re: [CnD] OVEN ROASTED VEGETABLES
I find that the pre cut vegetables usually don't have much flavor so avoid them. I also like buying some things organic, so cutting is mandatory there. I especially like organic carrots, the bigger ones. I find it really hard to get good flavored baby carrots even organic ones.

I am finding more stores selling stuff already cut up and so I buy a lot of that. ___ Cookinginthedark mailing list Cookinginthedark@acbradio.org http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark

I would like to hear about other favorite cutting tools that you actually use and like.

Drizzle, to me, means that you use as much or as little as you want.

Re: [CnD] OVEN ROASTED VEGETABLES
I just use a knife. If it is a turnip I usually slice in half then slice in half again. If it is a really large one I do it again. My method isn't time saving. For carrots I by baby ones. New potatoes are nice because they do not require any chopping. Zucchini I cut off ends, slice in half, then slice about 1 inch apart. Frozen vegetables are always an option. ___ Cookinginthedark mailing list Cookinginthedark@acbradio.org http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark
