shelf life

feeds@yuku.com (H3nLA) — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 14:58:54 GMT

I know that shelf life varies w/ certain food. fish being the quickest to go bad.

How about used cooking oil? Safe to say that once it begins to "grow a white cloud in the bottle" it's no good"?
And then, HOW do you dispose of it?

"Boiled Dinner"

feeds@yuku.com (Sword of Justice) — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 17:07:07 GMT

Today I made what my family calls a 'boiled dinner.' It's pretty inexpensive to make, so I thought I'd pass the recipe along in case someone else might find it inviting. I'm sure many people already have a variation on it. It began its life as a recipe for poor Southerner.

(1) Ham bone, ideally with a bit of meat and skin left on the bone.
(1) Large head of cabbage
(2) Turnips, diced
(4) Large carrots, chopped
(1/2) Bunch of celery,...

Handed down family pasta sauce recipe

feeds@yuku.com (Sword of Justice) — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 11:31:26 GMT

I used to use whole, fresh tomatoes in the sauce recipe handed down in my family for generations. The tomatoes had to be peeled, seeded, and crushed by hand. A pain in the ass for dubious benefit.

I now use canned tomato sauce, and I can tell no difference, whatsoever. The recipe:

(1) 1 lb beef roast (I use a crossrib roast)
(1) 1 lb pork roast (bone in, preferably)
(2) 28 oz cans of tomato sauce (use good brand, not store brand)
(2) 28 oz cans of tomato...

Cheap, Easy, Fast Food: PASTA

feeds@yuku.com (RedAnthony) — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 18:21:27 GMT

Pasta seems like a natural place to start, as it is incredibly cheap and loved by almost everyone....

How To Cook Pasta: Bring a large amount of water to a boil. Ideally you'd like at least six inches of water "on top" of your pasta, but if you don't have a pot that is big enough, its not the end of the world - you'll just need to stir the pasta more often as it cooks. Add enough salt to the...

Mail order food

feeds@yuku.com (H3nLA) — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 06:20:06 GMT

Anyone here have any experience doing this ?

One co-worker here has ordered food from Toledo's Tony Packo, made famous by Klinger on M.A.S.H..

Wife has ordered Holiday food from Fiji's.

But now a supervisor is thinking of ordering hot dogs from New York by the case. I was given a website for hot sauce, and Jules gave me a website for nuts, but I think things were tight, so I didn't order.

Old Smokey electric smoker/roaster

feeds@yuku.com (Sword of Justice) — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 15:43:43 GMT

OK, even as we speak, I have a 12 pound turkey languishing in my Old Smokey Electric Smoker/Roaster. This is an experiment as I've never cooked anything this large in the device.

I rubbed the bird with butter, salted and peppered it. I'm using mesquite wood chips. The control is set to "high", and I plan to leave in in for about four hours.

I'll report on the results.

New gas stove

feeds@yuku.com (Sword of Justice) — Sun, 11 Oct 2009 16:48:07 GMT

OK, I am in the process of running a gas pipe and a 115v electrical line to my kitchen to replace my electric range with a gas range. I hate, HATE cooking on an electric stove, and I am SO looking forward to the gas range.

This is a real recipe for Chili from the FN's lamest, most despicable host, Sandra Lee:

Ingredients

Chili:

1 cup barbeque sauce
1 (15-ounce) can kidney beans, drained and rinsed

French Toast

feeds@yuku.com (H3nLA) — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 07:33:47 GMT

I made some this past weekend before leaving for work at 9:00 on Sunday. Just my daughter and me. I made the rest for son and wife for later.

I have made these things since I was 15. It used to be a joke whenever I went to baseball practice on Saturdays as the coach would always ask me how many I ate. Usually 6.

So anyway, this time, on Saturday night I went out for some of the ingredients. I bought two loaves of bread on clearance for $1.00 a piece. They were wheat...

Bargain shopping, bargain cooking

feeds@yuku.com (H3nLA) — Fri, 29 May 2009 04:21:22 GMT

Ok, I want to hear y'alls secrets when it comes to buying and cooking on a dime.

Personally, when shopping, I look at the unit prices and never pay attention to the full price. For example, I look for the "cost-per-unit", per ounce is before buying. I've learned that buying in bulk, usually is cheaper, but not always.

There have been occasions when buying larger packaged items was NOT necessarily cheaper in the long run. But buying the smaller package...

Next day, broil 7 minutes a side and viola!

Sweet Potatoes

So, I have a bunch of small-ish sized sweet potatoes that I'd like to use before they go bad. I know I can bake them, but does anyone else have any suggestions? Simple things, please. I don't have many ingredients and I don't have much cooking skill/patience.

What about rotisserie cooking?

feeds@yuku.com (Sword of Justice) — Sat, 27 Dec 2008 00:35:30 GMT

Yes, Red busted my balls when I asked about the Ronco rotisserie appliance some time ago, so I didn't buy it. However, my new grill came equipped with a coolio rotisserie, so I'm wondering if there is ANY food that is appropriate to cook with it besides hotdogs. How about it?

Are all pots and pans equal ?

feeds@yuku.com (H3nLA) — Wed, 17 Dec 2008 01:26:47 GMT
I wanted to buy the chef in the family (mom) a large pot because she's out of one of any size. When I went thru some adds, I saw steel, copper bottom, and porcelain.

I remember one brand, maybe a door to door from many years ago, that had an oil sandwiched in between two layers of metal to evenly distribute the heat. Any such thing or better now ?
