Susie, I'm coming to visit you! Of course, as lazy as I am, I never peel my 
potatoes but do all the rest.  And a big thing about _any starch in my book is 
that one _MUST put salt in the boiling water. If you don't, you can salt your 
arm off after the starch is done and it won't help, one iota! I even sent a 
pasta dish back in a restaurant because I knew from the taste the boiling water 
had not been salted. I got the dish back and it was _perfect!

I haven't found a way to duplicate the sizzling sound and crispness of frying 
bacon. If you're not good at turning and lifting the bacon with a
fork, you risk a fire.   I use the microwave cooker.  It does get the fat
out of the bacon and comes out meaty/chewy.

Cooking Bacon: a cautionary tale
Many years ago I decided to fry bacon in my oven using one of those thin 
aluminum rectangular light pans with ridges to catch the fat. When I went to 
remove the pan it collapsed spilling the grease on my arms. I almost went to 
the emergency room for that one and of course, never cooked bacon in one of 
those pans again.

Re: [CnD] cooking bacon

2016-06-11 Thread Penny Reeder via Cookinginthedark
Hi, I have been cooking bacon in the oven -- especially when I need to
prepare a lot of bacon for a large group -- for a long time. It
doesn't seem to make an unusual mess in the oven, BUT BE VERY CAREFUL
WHEN YOU TAKE IT OUT! Use thick, protective oven mits, and do it
slowly.

A few months ago, I made a big pan of bacon in the oven -- I used the
broiler pan, which is quite shallow. I was not careful as I removed
the pan, and I ended up splashing bacon grease on my hand. It was a
very unpleasant experience!

Re: [CnD] cooking bacon

2016-06-11 Thread Lori Castner via Cookinginthedark
Hello,
I have never cooked bacon in the oven; does the fat splatter and make a mess in 
the oven?
I have cooked bacon in my electric skillet and just turned it with a fork or 
spatula.

I haven't found a way to duplicate the sizzling sound and crispness of frying 
bacon. If you're not good at turning and lifting the bacon with a fork, you 
risk a fire.   I use the microwave cooker.  It does get the fat out of the 
bacon and comes out meaty/chewy.

Juliette, I had to cringe as soon as I read that you used one of those thin 
aluminum pans. I’m so sorry you were hurt. One needs something sturdy for the

Cooking Bacon: a cautionary tale
Many years ago I decided to fry bacon in my oven using one of those thin 
aluminum rectangular light pans with ridges to catch the fat. When I went to 
remove the pan it collapsed spilling the grease on my arms. I almost went to 
the emergency room for that one and of course, never cooked bacon in one of

Re: [CnD] Potatoes

2016-06-11 Thread Susie Stageberg via Cookinginthedark
I know people who use a ricer are dedicated to that way, but I love, love, love 
my stand mixer. It makes fluffy mashed potatoes and my family inhales them. 
Sometimes I drop a clove of garlic in the water when I cook the potatoes; 
sometimes I add chives or sour cream or cheese when I mash them.

[CnD] Cooking bacon

2016-06-11 Thread Marie Rudys via Cookinginthedark
Hello, everyone!

 

The way I cook bacon, I have a pan with a rack, and I use the convection
setting on my Farberware toaster oven and just cook it in 20 minutes.  I
have even found a way to get turkey bacon to come out crisp, although it
does not taste as good as regular, it is lower in fat, and for me, on my
current battle of the bulge, I just have regular bacon occasionally.

 

I use my convection toaster oven often, even bake corn muffins on convection
heat, because it cooks evenly and at a lower temp than regular baking, and
everything comes out nice.  But we each have our own way of doing things.

 

Marie

I hope it is appropriate to post this message. I have a braille cookbook, Plain 
and Nos so Plain Main Meals from the Guild for the Blind in Chicago.
The book is in fine shape and is probably 40 years old but as I have not used 
it, thought someone might like to have it. It is free; please let me know if 
interested. I will send free matter.

Howdy you'all.



I have been given some pots of fresh herbs: two kinds of basil, oregano,
sage and chives. I have used fresh chives in potato dishes and scrambled
eggs. Those of you who use the fresh ones, any brilliant ideas on what to 
do

with them? I don't have enough to make pesto.

Oh and another idea, basil and tomato salad. With or without onion,
with or without mozzarella. Yummy!

Re: [CnD] cooking bacon

2016-06-11 Thread Abby Vincent via Cookinginthedark
I haven't found a way to duplicate the sizzling sound and crispness of frying 
bacon. If you're not good at turning and lifting the bacon with a fork, you 
risk a fire.   I use the microwave cooker.  It does get the fat out of the 
bacon and comes out meaty/chewy.

Cooking Bacon: a cautionary tale
Many years ago I decided to fry bacon in my oven using one of those thin 
aluminum rectangular light pans with ridges to catch the fat. When I went to 
remove the pan it collapsed spilling the grease on my arms. I almost went to 
the emergency room for that one and of course, never cooked bacon in one of 
those pans again.

Re: [CnD] cooking bacon

2016-06-11 Thread Bill via Cookinginthedark

Hi
I use a heavy-duty baking sheet and cooling rack.  I line the sheet with
foil, insert the cooling rack, spray it lightly with cooking spray and lay
the bacon strips on the rack.  Since I buy the thick cut bacon and like it
crispy, I bake it at 450 F for 25-30 minutes.

I have made this recipe; it works just fine without the yeast. In Texture it's 
like how a quick bread would be, like pumpkin bread. Sugaring the loaf pan 
after greasing, before putting the batter in, really adds to this too.
