If you have time, you could brine meat then no need for extra salt.

[CnD] Salt makes meat tougher?

2020-05-30 Thread Immigrant via Cookinginthedark
I was surprised to read in a recent message that salt supposedly would make
cooked meat tougher. From my own experience, I can say with certainty I
don't find it so. I cook beef, pork or poultry in the oven, and if I don't
season the meat with salt, it is usually because I bread the meat and there
is enough salt in the breadcrumbs or other breading ingredient. But if I am
not breading the meat, salt is the very first seasoning I use. And I try my
best to cook any meat to the well done stage. However, I rarely, if ever,
found the finished product to be too tough, and if it came out tough, I
would probably blame myself for overcooking before I blamed any of the
ingredients. I cannot imagine not including salt in one form or another (by
itself or in a breading).

French press coffee at a friend's house, about 20 years ago. I wasn't too

Subject: [CnD] Easy to use pour over coffee device

Hello list,

So, I’ve got a drip machine, AeroPress and French press, but have been
wanting to give the pour over method a try. Since it involves precise
pouring over grounds and since I don’t feel like burning my fingers with
spilt hot water, I was wondering if anyone’s currently making their coffee
this way and if they recommend any particular device that may be more
accessible over another? It seems like the V60 is more dependent on the
precision and flow of the stream. Don’t know if the Chemex or Kalita or
Melitta may be more forgiving in this regard. I’ve also heard of the Stagg
pour over brewing set.

Anyway, any input would be appreciated.

Thanks,

[CnD] Pouring Coffee

2020-05-30 Thread Jan via Cookinginthedark
Pour the coffee in the sink. that way, if it spills between the thermos and
the sink, it won't go all over the place. I like single cup coffee makers
because I don't have to worry about pouring and I always have a fresh cup.
And, as I've said before, I don't like the keurig coffee.I don't think
measuring coffee is that hard and I measure ground coffee in the sink as
well. I know, I'm beating a dead horse, but that's my story and I'm sticking
to it. (smile)

Re: [CnD] microwave eggs

2020-05-30 Thread Marie Rudys via Cookinginthedark
My second sighted "husband" wanted me to not use my finger when I poured
liquids.  But, when I could not stop pouring when he told me to stop, I
spilled quite a bit of liquid on the table, and then he yelled at me.  Hey,
man, I am totally blind and hearing impaired, and I cannot know when to
stop pouring without my finger in the glass or bowl.  I told him ahead what
to expect when living with a blind person.  I would get irritated when he
would tell me to stop when I reached a wall.  Some people think they know
better than we do.  Well, when I left that relationship 23 years ago, I
decided I've had it and will never be in a relationship with a fully
sighted man again.
  Another reason is I cannot deal with insane jealousy and not being
trusted.

Perpetual muffins are good enough to eat without anything else. I

The cooking times need adapting because they are for 800 watt

recipe is very forgiving, and lasts as long as you need it to in the

They are bran muffins, using only ready-to-eat bran cereals off the

I love using Silicone to make eggs in my microwave.  It's not as new or 
powerful as yours, but it does a great job.  I have a silicone omelet maker 
that works beautifully.


Thanks for the muffin recipe.


What type of container do you use to store the batter? It would need a good 
seal to trap moisture and keep things fresh.  I was thinking of using something 
like a large Lock n' Lock bowl.

I don't know how to help you learn to pour hot liquids. I hope you can work 
with a teacher to help you learn some of these things after the quarantine is 
lifted. It sounds like people around you are trying to teach you what they can. 
When you have questions about how to do something, you can ask, and people will 
tell you what they do, if they can describe it in words. I am not a coffee 
drinker so don't pour hot liquids into cups.

Bet they're really good,  Teresa! And, you know 
we always want to make certain that pork is 
thoroughly cooked so there are no little 
freeloaders in it. Yuck!!! Also, one thing I 
learned late in life is that salt is a meat 
toughener. So you've bought this nice cut of meat 
and you're looking forward to eating it, and it 
comes out tough because of the salt. Fine thing! 
Mom always told me to salt my meat, and that's 
what I did, but not so much now. Who'd have thunk!

Pamela,


I love using Silicone to make eggs in my microwave.  It's not as new or 
powerful as yours, but it does a great job.  I have a silicone omelet maker 
that works beautifully.


Thanks for the muffin recipe.


What type of container do you use to store the batter? It would need a good 
seal to trap moisture and keep things fresh.  I was thinking of using something 
like a large Lock n' Lock bowl.

I tried something new and it worked perfectly.

I have a set of four silicone cups designed to make mug cakes, which are ok,
but …

These silicone mugs have just become my new best friends. I dug them out of
the cupboard to make perpetual muffins for breakfast. As my one muffin was
cooking, lightning struck in the form of an idea. Why not poach an egg in
this other cup?

I cracked my egg into the cup, no oiling of cup was necessary.

I pricked the yolk with a fork, not so much that it deformed and scrambled,
but enough to release the pressure inside while cooking.

I put a soup spoon full of water on top, and waited for the muffin to stop
cooking.

I removed the muffin cup from the microwave, replaced it with the egg cup,
covered it with a folded paper towel, set it to defrost and pressed 1, this
is the shortest defrost setting on the Panasonic, then pressed start.

When it finished, the egg was cooked perfectly. I dumped it with what was
left of its water, into a bowl with a small pat of butter on the bottom,
added an appropriate amount of salt and pepper, and enjoyed the egg with my
muffin, which being sort of large, I cooked for 2 presses of the 30 second
cook time setting. I just pressed that button twice then pressed the start
button. By the time the egg was cooked the muffin was cool enough to cut and
add butter to, although I didn’t add the butter this time but ate it plain.
Perpetual muffins are good enough to eat without anything else. I adapt my
recipe from an old book, “The Art of Microwave Cooking” by Thelma Pressman.
The cooking times need adapting because they are for 800 watt microwave
ovens. But in this recipe I adapt almost everything, depending on what I
have in the house. The good part is that the recipe is very forgiving, and
lasts as long as you need it to in the refrigerator so you can cook a few
each day instead of all at once, and they work well cooked in the microwave.
They are bran muffins, using only ready-to-eat bran cereals off the shelf,
such as bran-flakes or All-bran. The downside is that if you overindulge
they act as a laxative.

Perpetual Muffins

The dough lasts up to 6 weeks in the refrigerator.

  


2 cups Kellogg’s all-bran cereal

1 cup Post 100 percent bran, I have not been able to find this for years.
Substitute any other bran cereal you have, or other choices such as shredded
wheat, if you don’t need more action, or cinnamon life if you do. Raisin
bran is a good choice if you want to stick with a bran choice. Honestly,
almost anything you like will do.

1 cup boiling water

2 eggs, beaten

2 cups buttermilk, I substitute other things for this sometimes depending on
what needs to be used. Choices I have used equally well, powdered buttermilk
with the appropriate amount of water, regular milk, almond milk, sour milk,
sour cream, yogurt plain, vanilla or fruit flavored, and powdered milk. I
would not hesitate to substitute lemonade or orange juice either. In any
case, if I want a bit more flavor or pungency, I add lemon or lime juice to
the plain milk product.

½ cup salad oil, I have substituted olive oil, but most often just melt a
stick of butter and toss that in.

1 cup chopped nuts, raisins or chopped dried fruit. I often add a cup of
chopped nuts, usually walnuts but sometimes pecans, and sometimes mixed
nuts. I often extend this to a cup and a half and add sunflower seeds and
chopped peanuts to the mix, or whatever I feel like. I have added chocolate
chips and skipped the nuts and seeds altogether. I almost always add the
fruit in addition to the nuts. This time it was two snack packs of craisins
and 2 little boxes of raisins.

1 cup sugar

½ cup brown sugar

1 tablespoon baking soda

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon salt

2 and ½ cups flour, I usually use whole wheat.

  


Instructions:

In large bowl, combine cereals with boiling water and let stand 5 minutes.
Since I also sometimes add as much as 2 extra cups of cereal, I generally
add extra water to compensate. You want the cereal to resemble pudding by
the time you mix it all up and stir it around. The longer it sits the more
of the water absorbs into it. I don’t hesitate to dump in 2 cups of boiling
water.

Stir in eggs, buttermilk, oil and fruit. If using melted butter I stir this
in while the water is still hot and stir it well so it combines with all the
cereal evenly.

Combine all other ingredients into another bowl, mix well and spoon into
bran batter a little at a time until it is all combined and mixed. Pour

Anything with a good seal would be good to use. I put mine in the largest cool 
whip container because that was what I could find in my container cupboard 
quickly. 
Where, oh where did you find a silicone omelet pan? That is awesome! I want 
one. Who knew I would ever catch a case of omelet pan envy? I started to write, 
I hope it isn't viral, but right now that might not be so funny. Smiling anyway.

Thanks for sharing.
You said you can toast, this means you can do what the toaster oven does?
Besides air frying?
Does it air fry just as good as using a standalone air fryer?

Hi Dana, I'm so happy you asked, as I just got the air fryer oven for my 
birthday.  The oven I'd recommend is the Cooks Essentials oven from QVC. 
it has all the buttons individually set into the unit and is extremely 
accessible.  French fry button, chicken button, two reheat buttons and so 
forth.  easily able to memorize.  You can toast, reheat, bake, and it even 
has a rotissery setting.  very affordable, too.  including shipping, it is
$112.00  you can also do several foods at once.  it comes with little 
shelves.

[CnD] Ninja Blueberry Pie Energy Bars

2020-05-30 Thread Marilyn Pennington via Cookinginthedark
Ninja Blueberry Pie Energy Bars
Ingredients:

6 medjool dates, pitted
1/3 cup almonds
1/2 cup dried blueberries
Method

Pit and chop dates into big chunks
In a high speed blender or food processor, blend the almonds until they are
well chopped. I blended mine to almost almond butter consistency in the
Ninja, but this is not necessary.
Add blueberries to the blender and blend until the almonds and blueberries
are well integrated, about 30 seconds to a minute
Add chopped dates, and blend until the mixture comes together - this took
about 30 seconds for me
Pour mixture onto a sheet of wax paper larger than the mixture, and fold the
paper over the mixture
Press the mixture down with your hands into a rectangular shape about 3/4
inch thick
Place the formed rectangle into the fridge for about 2 hours to harden up,
and then cut into three equal portions
Store wrapped in wax paper or baggies in the refrigerator.  Enjoy.

[CnD] Ninja Berry Blender Soft Serve

2020-05-30 Thread Marilyn Pennington via Cookinginthedark
Ninja Berry Blender Soft Serve
Ingredients:

1 cup milk 
1 frozen banana (I have started freezing them in halves instead of small
chunks; the blender can take it and it's just easier!)
1 cup frozen mixed berries (or just strawberries)
Optional: 1/4 cup granulated sugar
Optional: Whey protein powder with either a berry or plain flavor
Directions:

Add all the ingredients into your high-powered blender in the order listed
and blend for about a minute until the mixture is soft serve consistency.
You may have to scrape down the sides once to make sure everything is fully
incorporated. The longer you blend, the thicker it will get.
Serve and enjoy!
I have found the easiest way to scoop the goodness out of my Ninja jar is to
use a rice server/spatula thingy. Works great and doesn't scratch the
blender jar.
You can also freeze it for a couple hours to get a more frozen ice cream
consistency.  Enjoy.

Ninja Champaign Mango Smoothie
Note: Champaign mango is a type of mango.
1 champagne mango or 1/2 of a "normal" mango (or you could use frozen mango
- about 3/4 of a cup)
1 kiwi
4 frozen strawberries
2 TBS shredded coconut
1 banana
10-12 ounces unsweetened coconut milk beverage (from the carton, like So
Delicious)
The amount of milk you need depends on the size of your mango and banana -
maybe go a little light to start and add more if you need to.

Method:

Add all ingredients to your blender and pulse to combine
Blend on high until a smooth consistency is reached
I used my Ninja Pulse for this, but you certainly could use any blender for
this recipe.  Enjoy.

Ingredients:

Method:

Puree cantaloupe in a high speed blender or food processor (30 seconds on

Strain puree through a sieve, pushing down with a spatula to extract as much
juice as possible - you should have about a cup of juice.

Add water and sugar and stir - taste test to see if you need more sugar
Add lime juice and stir - start with 1 tablespoon and taste test before

I love using Silicone to make eggs in my microwave.  It's not as new or 
powerful as yours, but it does a great job.  I have a silicone omelet 
maker that works beautifully.



Thanks for the muffin recipe.


What type of container do you use to store the batter? It would need a

When it finished, the egg was cooked perfectly. I dumped it with what was
left of its water, into a bowl with a small pat of butter on the bottom,
added an appropriate amount of salt and pepper, and enjoyed the egg with my
muffin, which being sort of large, I cooked for 2 presses of the 30 second
cook time setting. I just pressed that button twice then pressed the start
button. By the time the egg was cooked the muffin was cool enough to cut and
add butter to, although I didn’t add the butter this time but ate it plain.
Perpetual muffins are good enough to eat without anything else. I adapt my
recipe from an old book, “The Art of Microwave Cooking” by Thelma Pressman.
The cooking times need adapting because they are for 800 watt microwave
ovens. But in this recipe I adapt almost everything, depending on what I
have in the house. The good part is that the recipe is very forgiving, and
lasts as long as you need it to in the refrigerator so you can cook a few
each day instead of all at once, and they work well cooked in the microwave.
They are bran muffins, using only ready-to-eat bran cereals off the shelf,
such as bran-flakes or All-bran. The downside is that if you overindulge
they act as a laxative.

Perpetual Muffins

The dough lasts up to 6 weeks in the refrigerator.

  


2 cups Kellogg’s all-bran cereal

1 cup Post 100 percent bran, I have not been able to find this for years.
Substitute any other bran cereal you have, or other choices such as shredded
wheat, if you don’t need more action, or cinnamon life if you do. Raisin
bran is a good choice if you want to stick with a bran choice. Honestly,
almost anything you like will do.

1 cup boiling water

2 eggs, beaten

2 cups buttermilk, I substitute other things for this sometimes depending on
what needs to be used. Choices I have used equally well, powdered buttermilk
with the appropriate amount of water, regular milk, almond milk, sour milk,
sour cream, yogurt plain, vanilla or fruit flavored, and powdered milk. I
would not hesitate to substitute lemonade or orange juice either. In any
case, if I want a bit more flavor or pungency, I add lemon or lime juice to
the plain milk product.

½ cup salad oil, I have substituted olive oil, but most often just melt a
stick of butter and toss that in.

1 cup chopped nuts, raisins or chopped dried fruit. I often add a cup of
chopped nuts, usually walnuts but sometimes pecans, and sometimes mixed
nuts. I often extend this to a cup and a half and add sunflower seeds and
chopped peanuts to the mix, or whatever I feel like. I have added chocolate
chips and skipped the nuts and seeds altogether. I almost always add the
fruit in addition to the nuts. This time it was two snack packs of craisins
and 2 little boxes of raisins.

1 cup sugar

½ cup brown sugar

1 tablespoon baking soda

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon salt

2 and ½ cups flour, I usually use whole wheat.

  


Instructions:

In large bowl, combine cereals with boiling water and let stand 5 minutes.
Since I also sometimes add as much as 2 extra cups of cereal, I generally
add extra water to compensate. You want the cereal to resemble pudding by
the time you mix it all up and stir it around. The longer it sits the more
of the water absorbs into it. I don’t hesitate to dump in 2 cups of boiling
water.

Stir in eggs, buttermilk, oil and fruit. If using melted butter I stir this
in while the water is still hot and stir it well so it combines with all the
cereal

Good morning. 

I'm looking for tried and true Cedar plank salmon recipes. I've eaten it before 
but would like to make it and was wondering step by step what you do? Do I get 
salmon fillets or whole salmon? Do I wrap the fish in tinfoil? seasonings?

Thanks for sharing.
You said you can toast, this means you can do what the toaster oven does?
Besides air frying?
Does it air fry just as good as using a standalone air fryer?

 Hi Dana, I'm so happy you asked, as I just got the air fryer oven for my 
birthday.  The oven I'd recommend is the Cooks Essentials oven from QVC.  it 
has all the buttons individually set into the unit and is extremely accessible. 
 French fry button, chicken button, two reheat buttons and so forth.  easily 
able to memorize.  You can toast, reheat, bake, and it even has a rotissery 
setting.  very affordable, too.  including shipping, it is
$112.00  you can also do several foods at once.  it comes with little shelves.

[CnD] microwave eggs

2020-05-30 Thread Pamela Fairchild via Cookinginthedark
As those of you know who purchase new microwave ovens, no model works
exactly like any other. You have to tweak your loved recipes to fit each new
oven.

I tried something new and it worked perfectly.

I have a set of four silicone cups designed to make mug cakes, which are ok,
but … 

These silicone mugs have just become my new best friends. I dug them out of
the cupboard to make perpetual muffins for breakfast. As my one muffin was
cooking, lightning struck in the form of an idea. Why not poach an egg in
this other cup? 

I cracked my egg into the cup, no oiling of cup was necessary.

I pricked the yolk with a fork, not so much that it deformed and scrambled,
but enough to release the pressure inside while cooking.

I put a soup spoon full of water on top, and waited for the muffin to stop
cooking.

I removed the muffin cup from the microwave, replaced it with the egg cup,
covered it with a folded paper towel, set it to defrost and pressed 1, this
is the shortest defrost setting on the Panasonic, then pressed start.

When it finished, the egg was cooked perfectly. I dumped it with what was
left of its water, into a bowl with a small pat of butter on the bottom,
added an appropriate amount of salt and pepper, and enjoyed the egg with my
muffin, which being sort of large, I cooked for 2 presses of the 30 second
cook time setting. I just pressed that button twice then pressed the start
button. By the time the egg was cooked the muffin was cool enough to cut and
add butter to, although I didn’t add the butter this time but ate it plain.

Combine all other ingredients into another bowl, mix well and spoon into
bran batter a little at a time until it is all combined and mixed. Pour into
storage container and refrigerate until needed.

To cook, put enough into cupcake papers to fill half way. Place in cupcake
ring and microwave and cook about 3 minutes for 6 small muffins. With the
new ovens I would check after each minute until I knew my oven, checking
after every 30 seconds after the first 2 minutes. I have

comparable, but it  doesn't look like it.  I'd rather spend the few minutes 
with Aira each time I want to set mine than lose the functionality of the one I 
have and the one I have cooks a 4/4 and a half pound turkey or chicken.  The 
QVC one looks as if it only does 3 and a half pounds at most.
Also the one I have now does roasting, slow cooking and is also a dehydrator.

Are the buttons actual physical buttons?


I adore my Power Air Fryer oven, but it of course has a touch screen 
that needs to be re-labeled once in a while.

I would say that it is pretty easy to take things in and out of the oven. 
the shelves and the cookie sheet pull out.  your current air fryer is a

Hi there Ellen. Thank you so much for your answer to my question. We 
cannot live without our air fryer. We love it so much and I thought that 
the oven might serve a lot more purposes. I don’t like my toaster oven 
currently so I thought that this might be nicer smile is it difficult to 
take things out of with oven mitts? Or is it pretty easy to utilize? 
Thanks Dana

Wonder if any of you have ever tried the air fryer oven? We have a 
regular air fryer and love it but wondered if the air fryer oven was 
accessible and what more you could use it for? Can anyone help? Thanks

Re: [CnD] Excited about Ninja

2020-05-30 Thread Dolores Manzino via Cookinginthedark
Hi Marie,

Tha'ts great that you have one of those. I want to get the nutribullet, but 
don't know if that and the Ninja are the same thing. I am familiar with Dr. 
Joel Fuhrman and his work. I'm planning on going vegan soon and starting a 
vegan recipe blog. When I develop the smoothies section of my site, I'll let 
you know. I've made some great ones over the years. THe blender I used was not 
as powerful as a Ninja though, I can only imagine how amazing that must be to 
use. Please keep me posted.

Cooking with kindness,
Dolores
