Re: [CnD] converting slow cooker recipes to oven recipes

You should be able too. My pork roast took about eight hours on slow soaked in beer and spices. In the oven it was more like four and a half at 275 D C On 5/23/2015 8:38 AM, Mike and Jenna via Cookinginthedark wrote: Hi, We sold our slow cooker when we moved cause it was in the way. Now I am

Re: [CnD] recipe for homemade ice cream

I am wondering if you could augment the quantities for this one. This is the one I made with my one quart ice cream maker which was given in the manual. Easy Vanilla Ice Cream 2 cups (500 ml) half 'n half 1 cup (250 ml) heavy whipping cream 1, 1/2 teaspoons (7 ml) vanilla 1/2 cup (125 ml)

Re: [CnD] false elephant snout

You may want to Google escargot recipes. Or if it all else fails make you some chowder. I can't imagine that done up in a bit of butter and garlic would go badly regardless. D C On 5/17/2015 4:57 AM, Mike and Jenna via Cookinginthedark wrote: Hi, I got a can of false elephant

[CnD] bread slicer

Hello all. I made my first basic home made sandwich bread loaf this week. Mind numbing as the recipe says. My only problem was the fact that the slices tend to be varied using a regular knife. A while back a friend showed me a very cool bread slicing knife, but I can't remember the name or the

[CnD] breading

Hello all. Recently we were playing around with cube steaks recipes. One of the things we tried was breading them with flour and spices. The problem is that the stuff falls off when negotiated into the skillet. I personally was soaking the steaks in saracha sauce and letting them rest for about

[CnD] Bisquick Scones

These are so quick and easy I made them now for three weeks in a roe. One could probably use unsalted butter in the place of heavy cream, but if so watch your baking time so they don't over cook. You can mix stuff like blue berries or chocolate chips into them for flavor. I normally leave the

Re: [CnD] Making Rice questions

Hello. I been cooking rice for 20 years and I finally got tired at messing things up. Its one of those things where I never knew how the things would turn out from pot to pot no matter how I tried. More an art than science. Some times it would over cook or stick, or be too mushy. Finally I

Re: [CnD] Pork

I will second this, but also will say that it truly depends on the type of chorizo you are going to use. Here in California, unless I get it from the Mexican grocery store, the stuff I buy at safeway is mostly rendered intolard by the end when fried. But if you are using the real deal,

[CnD] bread machines

Hello all. Anybody have any luck using a bread machine? I am in the market for one, but it seems they are not very blind friendly. I heard some of them do beep and one can use the beeps as land marks for either adding stuff, or setting it up. Tia D C

[CnD] home made ice cream?

Hello all. I been debating purchasing an ice cream maker. The problem is that I normally want ice cream, and then I get a bowl or cup of it and then the need is out of my system for a long while. So if I buy a quart most of it will just sit there. I have seen some cheaper brands of ice cream
