Re: [CnD] Sort of success??? Maybe???

[Immigrant via Cookinginthedark]

I don't have a meat thermometer, or any cooking thermometer for that matter. I 
judge doneness of meat by time, by smell, and by touch. When I cook 4 chicken 
legs for an hour at 350 degrees, there is no chance the chicken will be 
undercooked even if I don't know what the internal temperature is.

You should not eat undercooked meat or poultry. If the food has not reached the 
recommended safe temperature. Keep cooking it until it does. Also check your 
thermometer for accuracy, and if it fails the test, discard it and replace it. 
Food borne illnesses  are serious.

Hey thre,
I don’t check the temp any more on my chicken, I just cook it for at least an 
hour in toaster oven at around 350 and sometimes even a bit longer.
I probably overcook it, but I am confident it is done.
Also it is wonderful in crock pot.
After a few hours as previous person said , it just falls off the bone and is 
great.
I even made a whole roasting chicken in the oven and it turned out great.
Used some for chicken salad as well.
Good luck,
Rich

Re: [CnD] Measuring tips

[diane.fann7--- via Cookinginthedark]

Setting up your kitchen with specific locations for things is very valueable 
advice. Stores like Walmart, Bed Bath and Beyond, and actual kitchen stores, 
depending on what you have in your area,  offer small wire shelves and various 
trays for organizing stuff, which can be helpful. Just think about what works 
for you. You can always change it.

Just a note -- I have two sets of measuring cups, a metal set and a plastic 
set, both nested to keep them straight. My metal ones hang on a hook by the 
sink so I always know where to find them. (They're next to a set of nested 
funnels, also positioned so I can always find them) Setting up your kitchen 
with specific locations for things means you won't have to try to find 
something, because you'll know where it's supposed to be.

Hard plastic, and there is braille on the Pourfect Cups and a pour spout on

Hi Brennen, from Ron Kolesar.
I'm curious to know the following.
Are the measuring cups made out of heavy hard plastic, or made out of stainless 
steel?
I'm thinking of picking up a set of the measuring cups and spoons for myself.
So, many thanks.

Re: [CnD] Sort of success??? Maybe???

[Linda S via Cookinginthedark]

Hi Brennan:

You should always cook chicken thighs at least 1 hour at dg350 If you take a 
fork and stick it in the chicken, it should pull away from the bone.
And just fyi: You may already know this.
In all of the states there are dept. of rehab and centers or organizations who 
have teachers that can maybe come to your house and give you some instruction, 
or maybe you would go to the center.
If you are looking for employment, and have a good counselor, they may be 
willing to purchase some of the things you need for maintaining your 
independence. 
Do a search to see what is available in your state. For those of us who are 
"older" adults, there are also programs for "individuals who are blind"  and if 
we are lucky to get a good counselor, we may get some items that are purchased 
as well. A part from the Dept. of rehab, some centers are funded through the 
state independent living centers which may or may not be able to help depending 
on the state.
O.k., there's my nickle!
Some time I'll tell you the story of my worst cooking  thing that I ever did 
after moving in to my first apartment. It was pretty dumb, and pretty bad! 
(smile) I can laugh about it now.

Hi guys so I tried cooking again tonight in my Amazon oven and it was 
successful but I had a lot of trouble trying to get it to a good temperature I 
made bone in skin still on them chicken thighs and online it said that the safe 
internal temperature had to be 165° So I cook them three of them for about 40 
45 minutes and I could only get them to 152° I also had a fourth one that I had 
to cook by itself because there wasn’t enough room on my pan and I was only 
able to get that to about 113° They smelled pretty done to me and my mom said 
that they didn’t have to be cooked all the way I just don’t want to get sick 
but I ate one of the ones that was at 152° and I was fine so I think those are 
OK I’m just worried about the last one that didn’t get cooked all the way to 
165° or 150 to like the other three what do you guys think

Re: [CnD] Measuring tips

[Nicole Massey via Cookinginthedark]

Just a note -- I have two sets of measuring cups, a metal set and a plastic 
set, both nested to keep them straight. My metal ones hang on a hook by the 
sink so I always know where to find them. (They're next to a set of nested 
funnels, also positioned so I can always find them) Setting up your kitchen 
with specific locations for things means you won't have to try to find 
something, because you'll know where it's supposed to be.

out 1/2 cup I have measuring cups that I bought at the blind mice megamall with 
braille on them that tells me what each measurement is but how does everyone 
fill the cup without making it run over and spill everywhere Any help and tips

Hello, All.

 

I am just thinking, I may have gotten the name of that

Stuff wrong.  I remember it came in a tube and you can use that semi solid

Material to mark appliances and things where braille labels would be

Too big or not stick too well, and that stuff would

Stay on for ages.  My late sighted friend Howard marked his

Microwave for me so I could use it without asking him all the time.

When that microwave went out, he got another one, but by then, I did not

Live in the same building anymore and there was no need to share that

Microwave.

 

It's different when someone can see.  They don't need it unless their sight

Is dimming.

 

Whatever that stuff is called, if someone remembers,

I thought it was Hi Marks.  Sure wish I had some of that just in case.

I would not want a big microwave now, anyway.
A small one would be OK, if I ever get

I would like to see a microwave oven that was accessible via a braille

are.
2. Yes, I too would like to see it at a normal price that the sighted would

But it sadly comes down to supply and demand once again.
It's sad but what can we do about it?

The puff paint works really well, and if someone has a little vision, you
can put a contrasting color on the item you want to mark so it will show up
better. If you are totally blind, well, who cares, just get a bottle of what
ever color puff paint you want to choose. 
It's cheaperthan hymarx which again the price is marked up because it made
especially for us! (smile)

Re: [CnD] Microwave oven

[Ron Kolesar via Cookinginthedark]

I would like to see a microwave oven that was accessible via a braille 
template and or voice output that
1. was a nice family size and not a small oven like most adapted microwaves 
are.
2. Yes, I too would like to see it at a normal price that the sighted would 
get without the adaptive items.

But it sadly comes down to supply and demand once again.
It's sad but what can we do about it?
Just my two cents on the topic.

come close to replacing it when it goes out?

All, 
I seem to be having trouble sending messages directly to the list.  I can reply 
to a message and I see my messages and get responses but when I send a regular 
message I get no response.  For example, I've sent two in the past week.  One 
was regarding accessible juicers and one was regarding grill tips for a 
charcoal grill, has anyone seen these?
Thanks,

Another cookbook I highly recommend and it is on Bard, too, Is called When The 
Cook Can't Look by Ralph Reed.
He does not recommend blind people use microwave ovens,.
He did not revise the book or change his mind about it, though.
There are easy recipes from stove top to oven in that one.

Oh, another book on Bard I also recommend is Cooking Without Looking by Esther 
Knudson Tipps; there are two different audiobooks, Each read by a different 
narrator.  The one read by the man is read by a blind Person who is reading 
from a braille copy.  It is an old book, but has useful information In it as 
well.

Best,
Marie

Subject: Re: [CnD] New to the list and cooking tips

I did cook the pork chop tonight, am a well-seasoned cook though not a 
beginner. It turned out just fine. I don't know if I would use the mayonnaise 
again or not as the agent to stick the bread crumbs onto the meat. I could 
still taste the mayonnaise after cooking. Not everybody would though. I would 
certainly use it in a pinch or if in a great hurry. It turned out better than I 
thought it might, the topping stuck to the meat and crispened on both sides, 
even though I didn't turn the meat. The chop  did not stick to the pan, which I 
did butter ahead of time, the pan was easy enough to wash, and the meat was 
cooked through. I cooked it for 30 minutes at 350 degrees using the convection 
setting on the talking toaster oven. The chop was a thick center cut boneless 
chop, at least 3/4 inch thick. It was cooked in the center.
When you use the talking thermometer, put it in the meat at an angle to get the 
most accurate reading. You don't want the tip to exit to the bottom of the pan, 
nor to rest on top of the meat, or to touch bones. If you don't get enough of 
the tip into the meat, your temperature will register too low. And as for the 
pan, I save pie tins when they come without air holes in the bottoms, and if I 
run low I purchase a stack of them from the grocery store. 
I butter or oil the bottom of the pie tin and just go for it. It saves the 
trouble of lining with foil, and the foil doesn't stick to the food that way 
either. If my food sticks to the pie tin I don't feel too bad about throwing it 
away. When I cook pizza, I put parchment paper on the pizza pan before I put my 
crust on the pan. If the crust is made from scratch I either oil the pan very 
well, or oil the parchment paper before putting the homemade dough on it. It 
saves a lot of cleanup. If it is a pan pizza where you want the oil to work 
itself into the crust then you just generously oil the pan as I said and leave 
out the parchment paper..

Hello, All.

 

I am just thinking, I may have gotten the name of that

Stuff wrong.  I remember it came in a tube and you can use that semi solid

Material to mark appliances and things where braille labels would be

Too big or not stick too well, and that stuff would

Stay on for ages.  My late sighted friend Howard marked his

Microwave for me so I could use it without asking him all the time.

When that microwave went out, he got another one, but by then, I did not

Live in the same building anymore and there was no need to share that

Microwave.

 

It's different when someone can see.  They don't need it unless their sight

Is dimming.

 

Whatever that stuff is called, if someone remembers,

I thought it was Hi Marks.  Sure wish I had some of that just in case.

 

Marie

Re: [CnD] Lock-in Lid pan

[Charis Austin via Cookinginthedark]

Look for the pasta pot. There’s a set of two pans that works on the same 
principle. I have them and they are great! One pot is 3 quart and the other pot 
is a 6 quart pan.

I've just started learning my wi/fi instant pot and want to echo that the app 
isn't very VO friendly to do everything. I haven't figured out Alexa yet, but 
the google home app also works to control the pot with your voice through their 
app.

The Instant Pot, a Magnificent Obsession


By
 Jeannie Johnson

This would make an excellent Mother's Day present.
 Here are some other great Mother's Day gift ideas!

The Instant Pot is one of the latest cooking crazes, and with good reason!

Actually, it is just one of many brands of a small kitchen appliance called a 
multicooker, a single product that can perform the jobs of many. The main 
function that really has people talking is an old idea made new and improved, 
pressure cooking. The Instant Pot has ten built-in safety features so, for 
instance, your stew won’t end up on your ceiling! It consists of a base that 
houses the electronics, a liner that fits inside the base and holds whatever is 
being prepared, and the lid.


Different Models and Accessibility Features


While there are at least 5 different models of Instant Pots, the Lux and Duo 
series seem to have the most blind/visually impaired-friendly controls. The Duo 
has a better design and more functions. The Duo can be used as a pressure 
cooker, slow cooker, rice cooker, steamer, yogurt maker, and to saute and keep 
food warm. During food preparation or serving, the lid can conveniently be 
placed in a side handle of the base. The Duo is available in
3 qt., 6 qt., and 8 qt. sizes. The push-button controls are both tactile and 
audible. The Ultra series has buttons and a dial that may not be so practical 
for people with little or no vision. The Smart Wifi series has buttons and can 
also be operated through a Wifi-enabled device.
Unfortunately, I have not found the Instant Pot app to be very accessible.

There are two raised lines on the inside of the Instant Pot liner. The top one, 
about two thirds full, is the maximum fill line. The other, about half full, is 
the fill line for foods that may expand or foam during cooking, such as rice, 
dry beans, grains, pasta, etc. Although the Instant Pot remembers your last 
used settings, if, like me, you want to independently program your cooker, 
pressing and holding in the “cancel” button on the Duo for about 10 seconds 
will emit a double beep that means your cooker has returned to the default 
settings. This operation is not quite as easy with the Lux series, and doesn’t 
seem to be consistent among the different sizes.

The liner is deep, which helps when sautéing, as the splatter is less likely to 
reach you. This also makes cleanup easier!


All-in-One Preparation


A great advantage of the Instant Pot is the all-in-one preparation. You can 
sauté your meat and vegetables, add your spices and liquids, then uncooked 
pasta, rice or beans, for example, cover, let the food cook under pressure…all 
in one pot with little fuss. Boil and easily peel a dozen eggs, make a

skinless chicken breasts or thighs to use in meals throughout the week, make a 
pot of beans without presoaking, or make comfort foods such as spaghetti with 
meat sauce, beef stroganoff, cashew chicken, chicken noodle soup, macaroni and 
cheese, pork chili verde or meatloaf and mashed potatoes. The possibilities are 
endless, with recipes as easy or as complicated as you like.


Resources and Recipes


Resources abound for learning to use your Instant Pot. There are numerous 
YouTube videos that are not only very descriptive, but also state all 
ingredients with exact amounts. There are several Instant Pot and pressure 
cooker cookbooks on BookShare, Audible, and Kindle. While most recipes have 
been written for 6 qt. models, there are books and YouTube videos specifically 
for the 3 qt. model (Instant Pot Mini). At least one book, The Instant Pot

[CnD] Lock-in Lid pan

[Marie Rudys via Cookinginthedark]

Hello, everyone!!

 

I did a search on Blind Mice Megamall and there is no lock-in lid pot

Available.  I have one of those you described, Linda,

Since 1993, so it is old and a little battered.

It is a 3 quart pan.

 

Things come and go on the megamall, and gets

Discontinued.  Anytime there is a special sale

Of things about to be discontinued, I get messages from

Dale about that.  You have to be a member of

Blind Mice Megamall to get these regular email

Notices.

[CnD] food storage

[Marie Rudys via Cookinginthedark]

Hello, everyone!!

 

When I buy pasta, rice, flour, etc, I transfer them to

Canisters with tight fitting lids to keep bugs out.

 

I've kept cups in different things, but that makes me

Panic, and think I lost my cups, so I try to keep them

Where I know so I don't end up buying a dozen more sets of

Measuring cups.

 

Oh, another interesting tip: When you bring home flour,

If you have room in the freezer, shove the bag in and freeze it for

Three days.  That will kill off any larvae and yucky bugs that might be

Lurking.  I did not know that until I heard it on one of the

Cooking shows I downloaded (Cooking in the Dark, of course!)

Between all the chatter about the recipes and what Dale is doing

During each podcast, he slips in a useful tip we would not have thought

About.  You just have to listen closely.

Dale lost his sight in a car accident a few years ago,

So he speaks from experience.  He is still cooking without

Sight, and so whenever I listen to any of the

Shows, I watch for tips in addition to the recipe he is

Working on.  Having a cookie sheet on the

Counter to catch drips of batter while making pancakes or waffles is

Another tip I picked up from him.

Think about this: We see no weevil!!!

 

Somewhere somehow, a lady got some of those Bugles snacks, and when

She opened it, it was full of roaches!!!  Ugh!!!  She had to throw that
away.

Instant Pot Bible, gives recipe variations for the 3 qt. and 8 qt. sizes.

User manuals can be found on the web. If you decide to adapt your own
recipes, remember that whatever you cook must have some thinner liquid to
create steam which will bring the cooker to the needed pressure. If you use
Facebook, several groups have been started for Instant Pot and pressure
cooker users.

Like many of us, you may be afraid to use your Instant Pot at first, feeling
it is intimidating or overwhelming. After you unbox it--there are YouTube
videos that will walk you through the process-- the first thing you should
do is perform the “water test”. There are videos for that too. It’s a great
confidence builder and ensures that your Instant Pot is working as it
should. If you’ve never heard it, you may be startled by the loud hissing
sound that is made when the pressure is manually released, so the “water
test” lets you know what to expect.

The non talking ones are not expensive, but the touch pads Are rather small

not in a big old hurry to cook or reheat at a slightly Slower speed.

I agree with Jennifer.  There are those of us who Don't have four hundred
dollars for a talking toaster Oven or talking microwave.  I did it once for
a talking microwave, It lasted two years, and died.  Instead of getting it
repaired, I was advised to buy another one, and I just cannot and will not.
I decided to live without a microwave oven now.
Been doing that two years now, and found other ways to reheat food.
The best deal was the Hamilton Beach Teamo talking microwave, Back in 2006,
which cost $120 and I had one, and it lasted two years.
Why can't things be made to last like they used to In the old days?  Then, I
could justify spending that kind of money For a talking one if it could be
repaired and had a lifetime warranty; otherwise, no, not for another two
years, not ever.
A one year warranty is a cheap disappointment.

Re: [CnD] Measuring tips

[Marie Rudys via Cookinginthedark]

That is correct; don't pack the flour in; lightly scoop the flour
Into the measuring cup and level off with a straight edged knife or,
In the case of the Pourfect measuring cups from Blind Mice, with the
Leveler provided with the set.

To keep my favorite set of cups and spoons from traveling all over the
Kitchen when stored, I put them in a large otherwise unused loaf pan in my
Silverware drawer, which is wide enough for my silverware tray and
The loaf pan to reside side by side.  That is why I buy three pans
sometimes,
So I can use the extra one to corral small utensils which would otherwise be
tangled up with
Too many other things in my drawers.

Hard plastic, and there is braille on the Pourfect
Cups and a pour spout on every one of them,
And there is a no-skid ring on the cups starting with
1/2 to the
2 cup one.  There are nine different measuring cups in that set,
And eleven different sized measuring spoons, all with braille on them.

Are the measuring cups made out of heavy hard plastic, or made out of

I'm thinking of picking up a set of the measuring cups and spoons for

So, many thanks.

measure out 1/2 cup
I have measuring cups that I bought at the blind mice megamall with braille 
on them that tells me what each measurement is but how does everyone fill 
the cup without making it run over and spill everywhere Any help and tips

The non talking ones are not expensive, but the touch pads Are rather small
for braille labels, so that makes it Still not very user friendly for blind

not in a big old hurry to cook or reheat at a slightly Slower speed.

repaired, I was advised to buy another one, and I just cannot and will not.

Been doing that two years now, and found other ways to reheat food.

Why can't things be made to last like they used to In the old days?  Then, I
could justify spending that kind of money For a talking one if it could be

Legislation is in Congress for this now and it also covers durable medical

Manufacturers need to have accessibility installed as standard for all
equipment and that would cut the costs even further.

Re: [CnD] Measuring tips

[Brennen Kinch via Cookinginthedark]

Hi everyone thank you so much for the cooking tips I don’t know that I’ll be 
doing a lot we’re all need to measure things but you never know so I’ll have to 
try to remember some of these tips and I don’t need to be proper either LOL so 
I really like the idea of putting the cup into the container or whatever of 
whatever I’m trying to measure and then just kind of pushing the stuff into it 
with my hand and making sure that it’s level so that it doesn’t fall out
Also to ron it was a plastic set of measuring cups that were on blind mice 
megamall so I’m sure if you search braille measuring cups on their website you 
would find them but I will warn you the braille on those is not very clear at 
least in my opinion so just be aware of that

Another idea to add to this is put what ever you are making or measuring on

This way all you need to do is clean the tray.

I don't know if there is such thing as absolute "proper" in this case.
People do what works best for them, and whatever helps in completing the
task is considered the proper way. I would rather place the measuring cup
into the bag or canister of flour, and fill it by either using the cup as a
scoop, or by holding the cup with one hand and using the free hand to fill
the cup. Less mess that way.

Hi so can you re-explain the part about pouring it back into the canister 
because I understood the first part about putting the cup into the canister and 
filling it that way and then putting it onto a plate put in the rest of it I 
kind of got lost on LOL
As for your other questions and suggestions I have a regular stove top stove 
that came with my apartment so if I did stovetop cooking that would be what I 
would be using
And as far as ordering things from the blind mice megamall there’s so many 
things I wanna order for cooking LOL it’s not even funny but I need to wait 
until I get more money before I can order things
But that could definitely be on the list of things that I purchase LOL

Legislation is in Congress for this now and it also covers durable medical

Manufacturers need to have accessibility installed as standard for all
equipment and that would cut the costs even further.
