[CnD] Leaving the list for a while

Hi my fellow cooks, I just wanted to let all of you know that I am taking some time off most of email lists. My husband's physical circumstances are requiring more of my time and I find I simply don't have time to weed through multiple emails. So, God bless all of you and happy cooking.

[CnD] Ninja Coffee maker

Hi All and happy new year. My daughter-in-law received the Ninja Coffee Bar as a Christmas gift. I wasn’t real excited about that because I figured I would never be able to make coffee for her. However, not so! This item is costly, but if you can get one, let me assure you that it is

Re: [CnD] Blind – friendly ice trays

Hi there, I had the Tupperware trays years ago and loved them. Then we got an icemaker and they went by the way side. When I moved in here, I needed trays again. I went to amazon.com and found some. I ordered them and they work great. You may still drip a little water around the lid when

Re: [CnD] frying sunnyside up eggs

Hi, If you like your eggs sunny-side-up and basted, here is a little trick. Get your grease hot, about medium heat as the other member said, and break your egg in the skillet. With the lid in one hand, put in a piece of ice and cover quickly to keep from getting splattered. Then cook for about

[CnD] Oster Steamer

Hi all, My daughter gave me her Oster steamer because she is downsizing to go to the Czech Republic as missionaries. She packed it very nicely in its box and brought it to me when she came to help us move to Arkansas to live with our son and family. The problem is that the book became

Re: [CnD] Meals

Hi there, I like to cook ahead! A long time ago, there was a book called once a month cooking. I can't remember much of the stuff in there, but it did get me thinking about how much time I could save by planning and cooking ahead. When I find high-quality ground beef on sale, I buy up several

Re: [CnD] shishcobobs

Hi, Soak the wooden skewers for 15 minutes in water and then wrap and freeze them. That means they are ready when you want them and you don't have to soak them. Depending on how done you like your meat, cut meat in square pieces. Maranade meat in whatever kind of marinade you like. Put meat

Re: [CnD] Making Rice questions

Hi, You can also cook rice in the microwave. I put 1 cup of brown rice in a large microwave-safe dish with 2-1/2 cups liquid. Cook on high for 10 minutes and then stir. Cook on 50% power for an additional 25 minutes. Cover the rice to cook. I check the rice after 10 minutes and stir, then

[CnD] Cooking salmon

I think I would open the sauce and smell it. It may actually be the marinade sauce. Isn't it disgusting when there are no directions? Linda ___ Cookinginthedark mailing list Cookinginthedark@acbradio.org

[CnD] Looking for large casserole

Hi All, I need a microwave safe 6 qt casserole with cover. Does anyone know where I can get such an animal? I used to have a dish called a simmer-cooker from Anchor Hocking. I have a really good recipe that requires a large casserole or it boils all over the microwave. Help! Thanks, Linda

Re: [CnD] question about butter

Hi Will, You always have the option of asking someone to spread the butter for you. However, here is what I do, or try to do (grin). First, hold the packet in your hand for a while to warm it up. Then, open the packet. If it is a foil wrapped pack, open it over your bread and a plate. Dump

Re: [CnD] Ground beef

Hi, If you don't have a use for it right now, just cook it in a skillet and freeze it. I cook up large batches of ground beef at a time and then divide it into small batches and freeze. As long as you don't keep it in the freezer forever, It tastes just fine when you use it. I just put it in zip

Re: [CnD] Oops disaster for long-time cook

I put syrup in my baked beans. Let me tell you that honey mustard salad dressing does not make a good replacement for catsup. Yep, grabbed that bottle and liberally covered my meatloaf with it. That's the second time I did that. The first time, I thought, might be good and baked the meatloaf.

[CnD] Fingers or forks

Hi Will, If I have to start eating that stuff with a fork, I just won't eat it out any more. Seriously, I have learned to ask for help. If your friends prefer that you eat pizza with a fork, discreetely ask one of them to cut it up for you. As for catsup, most places can give you a small dish
