Never made the actual wrappers by hand. This is my first try. Made 35 and Roomie ate the broken ones and then some dim sum more of those pot stickers! And NO! I still can’t take a decent picture. sigh
And then there is this:<a href=" “>
BUT! you say, it reduces sodium! Yay ramentray you rock!
Until you read the back and it states to only use 1/2 of the seasoning packet.
This product at only 14.00 US for two of them on Amazon. What a time saver as well! Cooks the ramen in 4 minutes as opposed to the 4 minutes it takes to boil water in the microwave. WOW.
Who cooks ramen for 8 minutes anyway?
Not usually one for gadgets but the first one is a great little gizmo for smoking small amounts of meat or veg. It is cast iron and filled with wood chips of choice comes in very handy. Can be used indoors or out. Remember to soak your chips and drain them before use.
Cast iron skillets are perfect for many occasions. This gem is small and great for making cornbread, cakes, etc. for two to three people.
Last is something I could not live without. A cast iron dutch oven. Cook indoors or out. Makes a great deep fryer too!
Always keep in mind that the cast iron will run a little hotter temp so adjust accordingly.
The premise was great back in the day. Informative yet a bit dry. PBS cooking programs were the ones to beat.
Now Food Network is just a bunch of game shows. The hosts only have to count backwards from 10 to zero. From time to time they tell the contestants they only have x amount of minutes on the clock.
Pity that Alton Brown, Ted Allen and others just explain an unusual item to the judges. The item is normally something that none of the judges had known about in the first place.
Just sad. Really sad.
Yep, it is back. Nasty stuff that it is. I am not convinced that it is harmless.
That is just one of the reasons that I do not purchase ground beef. I get briskets and grind them myself. I know what is in it. Perhaps I am a control freak.
A home meat grinder (electric or manual) is not expensive and pays for itself in a few uses. Right now, ground beef is going for 4.75 a pound in this area. I can get a brisket for 2.79 a pound. Simple math.
Now, get your grind on and have a fat juicy med-rare burger!
They came, they ate, they drank.
The vibe this year was better than in recent years despite some of the Celb Chefs. Not naming names but um Jerk comes to mind.
The weather was nice and despite a little bit of gusts from time to time, folks were not eating dust with their food samples.
What could possibly go wrong? It is not like small children don’t look at a brightly colored laundry detergent pod and think CANDY
Get skunked and get behind the wheel? Naw, that doesn’t happen.
It is a clever idea though. I could see using it in a recipe.
Hello,
I am an anodized 8 inch skillet. I am a vessel for sautéing, flambé, poaching, frying, and saucing. Please don’t sell me short because of my size.
I make a wonderful tool to pound a piece of meat into a cutlet, crush garlic, crack whole peppercorns and nuts.
I take pride in the fact that just like my brothers and sisters of varied sizes, we can start a meal on the stove and finish in the oven.
True, I may look like a lowly sauce pan but I offer more. I make a damn fine weapon screaming hot or ice cold. I can kick some arse as long as you know how to utilize my diversity.
I want to be a skillet in my next life
