Re: [CnD] Air Fryer

I just got the air fryer too, & had trouble figuring out how to separate the
basket-pan at first. There are 2 buttons. One is the button we feel when we
grasp the handle to pull out the basket-pan. When you have pulled them out,
push that top sliding button forward (in the direction of the pans). Behind
that button, there will be another slightly recessed button. Pushed down on
it & pull out the basket. It will take some practice to accomplish this. If
questions, please ask.

Got this from another source:

What’s the Best Substitute for Soy Sauce? Here Are 6 Delicious Options

By: Katherine   Gillen

 

It gives marinades a boost of umami, it makes a mean sauce for stir-fries 
  and you 
can’t have sushi   or 
dumplings  
 without it on the side. Yep, soy sauce is one of our pantry heroes. It’s 
salty, tangy and savory in all the right ways, not to mention versatile. But if 
you have a soy or wheat allergy, the condiment is off-limits. Or maybe you’re 
watching your sodium intake and just trying to avoid it. Is there a worthy 
substitute for soy sauce? Yep, in fact, there are six.

But first, what is soy sauce?

Chinese in origin, the salty brown liquid is actually made from a fermented 
paste of soybeans, roasted grains, brine (aka saltwater) and a mold called 
kōji. (Fun fact: It dates back to the Western Han dynasty in 206 B.C. and was 
historically used as a way to stretch salt, a luxurious and expensive 
commodity.)

 

 

Traditional soy sauce takes months to make. First, soybeans are soaked and 
cooked, and wheat is roasted and crushed. Then the mixture is inoculated with 
kōji, mixed with brine and left to brew. The liquid is pressed from the solids, 
pasteurized and bottled, and voilà, it finally ends up on your table. Depending 
on the country and region of origin, soy sauce can taste different from bottle 
to bottle, and there are endless varieties and flavors. (Light, dark, sweet and 
thick are common ones.)

But if you’re avoiding soy sauce (or just plain ran out), don’t worry. You can 
substitute other comparable ingredients.

6 substitutes for soy sauce

1. Tamari

If you’re not dealing with a soy allergy or monitoring your sodium intake, 
tamari is the closest in taste to regular soy sauce. That’s because it’s also 
made from soybeans and brewed in a similar way, but it doesn’t contain wheat, 
so it’s gluten-free.

2. Worcestershire sauce

Another fermented sauce, this British condiment usually contains a blend of 
malt vinegar, anchovies, spices, sugar, salt, garlic, onions, tamarind extract 
and molasses. It has the same umami quality as soy sauce, but much less sodium 
and no soy or gluten. (But if you’re allergic to shellfish or seafood, you’ll 
want to skip it.)

3. Coconut aminos

A sauce made from fermented coconut sap, coconut aminos has an umami flavor 
profile that’s similar to soy sauce. It’s a little bit sweeter, but it’s also 
lower in sodium (about 90 milligrams per teaspoon compared to 290 milligrams in 
soy sauce) and gluten-free.

4. Liquid aminos

Liquid aminos (such as Bragg 

 ) is a liquid protein concentrate that’s made from soybeans but not fermented. 
Like coconut aminos, it’s gluten-free, but it does contain soy and has a 
similar sodium content. It tastes a lot like soy sauce, albeit milder and 
sweeter.

5. Dried mushrooms

If you need a substitute for soy sauce that’s gluten- and soy-free and low in 
sodium, dried shiitake mushrooms can work in a pinch. Rehydrate the mushrooms 
in water, then use that soaking liquid in place of the soy sauce. It’s not the 
closest substitute in the bunch, but it packs an umami punch.

6. Fish sauce

This funky condiment is made from fish or krill that’s fermented in salt for up 
to two years. It has a savory, umami quality like soy sauce, but you probably 
won’t want to substitute it in equal amounts. (It’s pretty fishy, after all.)

With the exception of fish sauce, these six substitutes for soy sauce can be 
swapped in a one-to-one ratio, but we always recommend tasting as you go for 
best results.

Want to make a homemade substitute for soy sauce? Here’s how.

Ingredients:

*   2 tablespoons beef bouillon (regular or low-sodium)
*   1 teaspoon molasses
*   1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
*   Pinch of ground ginger
*   Pinch of garlic powder
*   Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Directions:

In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the beef bouillon, molasses, 
apple cider vinegar, ground ginger and garlic powder with ¾ cup water. Bring to 
a boil, then lower the heat and simmer until the liquid is reduced to your 
desired flavor strength, 10 to 12 minutes. Season to taste with a few cracks of 
freshly ground black pepper.

Cp HONEY LENTILS and BEAN DINNER

Crocktober 19, 2020

Happy Monday, Slow Cookerers!

Last night I revisited my favorite vegetarian dinner.

The only change I made to the Original Recipe was that I used a can of drained 
and rinsed black beans instead of garbanzo beans because my 8 year old doesn't 
like garbanzos. 

 

I also added about a cup of shredded butternut squash. Trader Joe's sells the 
spirals next to the carrots and I figured it was a great way to get a few more 
vitamins into the kids.

If you can't find the already peeled and either cubed squash or shredded squash 
you can add some sweet potato to bulk up the meal.

It tasted WONDERFUL.

The red onion is important --- don't email me and ask to use a yellow one. 
Because if you do I'll probably say it's fine but I'd really rather you use a 
red one.

;HONEY LENTILS and BEAN DINNER

serves 6, over white or brown rice. Freezes well.

1 1/2 cups lentils ((brown or green)

3 cups water

1/2 red onion, diced

1 (15-ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed

1/2 cup shredded or chopped carrot

1 cup peeled and cubed or shredded butternut squash

1 teaspoon kosher salt

1 teaspoon dried mustard

1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

2 tablespoons soy sauce (La Choy or Tamari Wheat Free are GF)

1/3 cup honey (and maybe another 1 tablespoon later to taste)

1 dried bay leaf or 2 fresh

 

The Directions.

 

I used a 4 quart crockpot.

 

The awesome thing about lentils (actually, there are a few awesome things) is 
that they are cheap, full of fiber, and you don't have to pre-soak them. You 
really should rinse them off, though.

 

Put the lentils into your crockpot. Add the water. Chop up the onion, and add 
along with the carrots and squash.

Drain and rinse the  beans and add. 

 

Stir in the dried mustard, salt, and ginger. 

 

Add the soy sauce and honey. 

 

Stir to combine. Float the bay leaf (ves) on top.

 

Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-5. 

 

Taste. If desired, stir in an extra tablespoon of honey.

 

Serve with white or brown rice.

DELICIOUS.

I was so happy to watch the kids lick their bowls clean!!

Vegetable oil, water and egg called for on cookie mix pouch 

1 box,  (19.9 oz) Betty Crocker™ dark chocolate fudge brownie mix 

Water, vegetable oil and eggs called for on brownie mix box Save $ 

16 peanut butter creme-filled sandwich cookies 

8 Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, unwrapped 

1/2cup creamy peanut butter (for drizzle, optional) 

1tablespoon coconut oil (for drizzle, optional) 

Steps

1.  Heat oven to 350°F. Grease 13x9-inch pan, and line with cooking
parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the two longer sides. 

2.  In medium bowl, make peanut butter cookie dough as directed on pouch. 

3.  In another medium bowl, make brownie batter as directed on box. 

4.  Crumble cookie dough in pan; using offset spatula, press and spread
cookie dough into thin even layer. Top cookie dough layer with even layer of
sandwich cookies and candies. Spread brownie batter over top of cookie
dough, sandwich cookies and peanut butter cups to cover completely. 

5.  Bake about 30 minutes or until toothpick inserted in brownie comes out
with few sticky crumbs. Cool completely on cooling rack. To make the

microwavable bowl and microwave uncovered on High at 30-second intervals
until thin enough to drizzle. Drizzle over bars. Cut into 6 rows by 4 rows. 

Expert Tips

Greasing the pan before adding parchment will help keep the parchment in

binder clips to secure the parchment overhang. 

You can use all peanut butter creme-filled sandwich cookies or all peanut
butter cup candies in this recipe; whatever you do, it will be delicious!

Re: [CnD] the message to subscribe to this list

2020-06-10 Thread Wendy via Cookinginthedark


1.  Keep messages on the topic of cooking. 
This is not a social list...it is a cooking list. 
2.  Change subject lines to reflect the body of the message. 
3.  Avoid sending short, meaningless messages.  Examples follow: 
"Thanks for the recipe" 
"This sounds good" 
"Me too" 
Messages like this clutter up the list and greatly increase the time it
takes to read through posted messages. 
If you want to thank someone for a recipe please do so off list. 
4.  Please do not post more than 8 recipes in a day. 
You take the time to post them, so make sure that they get read. Bombarding
the list with 10 to 20 recipes will ensure that many are deleted instead of
read. 
Imagine if every list member posted over 20 recipes each day...that would
result in over 7,000 messages in a day! 
5.  Questions, comments, complaints, and requests for assistance should be
directed  to the list owner or the list moderators for proper handling. 
6.  Off Topic notices or solicitations must be sent to the list owner for
approval and posting to the list.  Failure to do this may result in
suspension

or removal from the Cooking in the Dark list. 
7.  Be respectful of everyone on the list...no flaming will be tolerated.

Speaking of wood stoves, food is heavenly when cooked on a wood stove. My

Panetone

Two envelopes dry yeast
1 cup warm milk
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 cup melted butter
4 large eggs
1 Tsp salt
4 and 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 Tsp grated lemon peel
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup pine nuts
1/2 cup mixed glazed fruit
In large bowl, sprinkle yeast over milk. Stir.
Stir in sugar butter eggs and salt.
Add two cups flour, pine nuts, raisins and mixed glazed fruit.
Beat. Stir in remaining flour just until mixed.
Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for two hours.
Lightly grease a 10-inch springform pan.
Turn dough onto lightly floured surface.
Shape into a ball.
Place in pan; cover with damp cloth or plastic wrap, and let rise 1 to 3 hours.
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Bake 40 to 50 minutes. Cover with foil after 30 
minutes if browning too quickly.
Cool in pan 10 minutes.
Remove to wire rack and cool completely.

Note: Using the springform pan makes the traditional shape for panetone, but in 
the last several years I make two loaves; I bake for 25 to 30 minutes.

Hi, all. I'm making a no-bake cheesecake that calls for heavy cream. I usually 
use something like Cool Whip for theese things. How  long do I beat the heavy 
cream? I have a balloon whisk and a small hand mixer. I'm assuming the mixer 
would work better than the whisk. Here's the recipe:

No-bake Dulce De Leche Cheesecake by Tasty
6 servings

Ingredients
24 chocolate cream cookie
⅓ cup butter, melted
13 oz dulce de leche
8 oz cream cheese
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 cup heavy cream, whipped
8 strawberry, halved, to garnish

Preparation
1. Crush cookies and mix with butter.
2. Spread mixture over pie pan, pressing down to make a compact crust. 
Refrigerate crust while making filling.
3. Mix filling ingredients, (dulce de leche, cream cheese, and vanilla extract) 
until smooth. In a separate bowl whip the heavy milk. Mix whipped cream into 
filling ingredients.
4. Spread mixture over pie crust.
5. Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours or overnight. (If you’re in a 
hurry, you could also freeze the pie for 1-2 hours.) 6. Top with strawberries, 
cut, and serve.
7. Enjoy!

Subject: Re: [CnD] Raspberry Squares

Wendy,

I used to make this recipe. I originally got it from a recipe leaflet called 
“The Fiber Factor”.

A few points I’d like to suggest.

First, where your list of ingredients states “1/2 tsp soda” I think it should 
be baking soda.

Second, the recipe as I recall was to reserve 1/4 cup of the oat mixture to the 
side. The rest of the oat mixture goes in a pan and you put the reserves of 
whatever flavor you like over the mixture. Bake that as directed for about 20 
minutes. Then remove from oven and crumble what you have on reserve over the 
top of the partially baked dish. It will not be a total covering, just enough 
to form crumbs. Then return the pan to oven and bake for another 5-10  minutes.

As I recall all the recipes in the leaflet focused on health using Quaker 
old-fashioned oats (high fiber) and low-fat. I might be wrong, but I’m pretty 
certain it called for very little Margarine which these days, I would 
substitute butter instead. Anyway, I think it was only about 1 stick of the 
stuff and thats why the mixture is on the dry side.

The cake comes out on the dry side and its crumbly. Its not the type of fluffy 
cake that rises, It should  not be a moist cake. The preserves gives it 
moisture. Goes well with coffee and tea. If I can locate the original recipe 
I’ll post it.

[CnD] Batter on chicken

2016-09-06 Thread Wendy via Cookinginthedark
When cooking chicken breast in the oven with a cereal batter like Corn Flakes, 
even when I turn it over halfway, the bottom does not maintain its coating like 
the top part. Any suggestions to keep batter consistent across the chicken?

Re: [CnD] Flour?

Thanks to all who responded. I am aware there was a recall of the General Mills 
flour, but I did not know the brand of the first bag of flour I had, which I 
threw out after being ill. The second I tried was King Arthur's Unbleached, & 
still the same outcome. Perhaps it is gluten sensitibity as you say. When I 
asked my doctor about it a while ago out of curiosity, she said it was a fad. 
Going to be a change, that's for sure. I will try the suggested King Arthur 
mixes & see. Thanks again.

[CnD] Flour?

2016-07-31 Thread Wendy via Cookinginthedark
I have a problem, & I'm not sure how to solve it, & it is costing me money 
throwing food out. I had a new batch of white flour, & I made chocolate chip 
cookies & granola with it, & when I ate the food, I developed abdominal cramp 
with loose stool. When I did not eat the food, I was fine. Someone heard 
General Mills had a recall on its flour, & I did not know the brand, but I 
tossed almost 5 pounds of flour out, along with the cookies & granola. I used 
boiling water on the containers that held the food items. Then I heard on the 
news recently the reason why we are told not to eat from scratch cookie dough 
is because flour contains stuff that necessitate cooking or else it could cause 
us to be ill. The only organic unbleached flour at the grocery store was 
General Mills, which I wanted to avoid, so I bought King Arthur unbleached 
flour. I recently made No Bake Cookies, which includes flour & needs to be 
boiled 1 minute. Eating the cookies has made me ill. So, is the issue we can no 
lon
 ger make No Bake Cookies with today's flour, or is it the flour, & I hate the 
thought of throwing almost another 5 pounds of flour  & cookies out,  or is it 
the container? Your input would be appreciated. Thanks.

Re: [CnD] Question: how do you cook and flip pancakes?

2016-07-24 Thread Wendy via Cookinginthedark
Smile, Sugar. That is another  way to test when to flip. First, I feel the top 
to determine when it reaches the bubbly, almost dry stage. Then I gently lift 
the bottom with the spatula. If it comes off easily & does not stick, then I 
know it is ready to flip. . If it still sticks to the pan, I wait another 
minute or two & test again.

How does one make pancakes without vision.

How does one know that they are done on the first side before flipping to the 
second side?

How are they made, in order not to be too dry?

Neither Carol or myself can see if the edges are brown, so something other than 
color references, please.

I do something similar, only I have them all in a word document with an 
informal table of contents listing major sections divided by type of meal and 
then meat ingredients.  There's Appetizers, chicken, beef, etc.  Each section 
starts on it's own page with a centered title and each recipe in all sections 
has three asterisks before it.  I use MS word, so I can search by section and 
then use either the three asterisks or search by name or ingredient.  Word 
still has this bug where once you enter a search term, doing a page down will 
take you to every instance of that term.  This is why I try to not search by 
words like Eggs, butter, etc.  It might seem cumbersome, but it works for me.

A few rolls of dymo tape and a slate with two slits to pull the dymo tape 
through. For metal cans, buy some magnetic strips that you can stick on the 
dymo tape; that way you can save the labels as you create them and reuse on 
other cans of the same product. How about a timer which you can set for hours, 
minutes or seconds. Funels. Jar openers (like the square plastic that has a 
rough texture; sometimes picked up at discount stores or conventions in goodies 
bags. If you have deep freezers, I have bought what I call egg-crates at target 
or Wal-Mart to store things in the deep freeze. That way when you defrost the 
freezer, you can just unload the baskets (boxes) without missing single items. 
Egg crates are different sizes.

Spatchulas, tongs. I could go on.

If you need clarifications, let me know on or off list. Cutting boards.

With all this stuff, you might want to send your grant and/or this list to the 
US treasury!

What fun, Janet!  You have my utmost sympathy concerning the deadline.

Don't forget a nylon knife.  I use mine for cutting things on nonstick 
surfaces, but I would think it would be useful also for someone who isn't yet 
comfortable with knives.  The Pourfect bowl, measuring cup and spoon set should 
also be helpful with its added blind-friendly features and Braille markings. 
Alex mentioned oven mitts; I remember when I was starting out that I had a set 
that reached to my elbows.  Marvelous!Don't forget talking/tactile timers, 
thermometers, etc.I also really like the three-in-one egg slicer I got from 
Blind Mice; great for quickly and safely slicing eggs, mushrooms, strawberries, 
etc.

I'll write again if other things come to me.  Best of luck with this venture!

Subject: [CnD] Urgently Need Input: Setting up a kitchen

I am in the process of writing a grant proposal for which I have been given, as 
usual, very short notice. I am, for those of you who did not know, a teacher of 
the visually impaired at a large high school. I am requesting the funds to set 
up a kitchen that will enable me to more fully implement daily living skills 
activities. We have already been donated major appliances. The school has 
provided a separate room and has had the appliances connected which might not 
sound like a big deal, but believe me, in a school system this is a big deal. 
The support has been great. Last year my students provided a dining in the dark 
experience for invited faculty. We plan to do the same again this year.

The expense of all of these activities has fallen completely on myself. Being 
awarded this grant would be a great relief for me.

So here is what I am asking of all of you. Would you all please send me 
messages with lists of what you feel would be essential for the kitchen of a 
beginner blind cook. Try to be as specific as possible and include the source 
(where it can be purchased) as I must have a detailed list for the grant 
proposal. If you think your item might sound a bit odd to non-B/VI people, 
write a one sentence rationale.

Some areas of thought include accessible small appliances, gadgets that provide 
enhanced safety or accessibility, basic kitchen essentials with small but 
helpful designs, labeling methods, items or techniques that help in shopping 
and meal planning (can even include accessible software).

The ultimate goal of my proposal includes Who planting, shopping, menu and 
recipe creation, food preparation,, serving, and cleanup. Finally, the students 
will prepare a cookbook that will also include their own kitchen gadget reviews 
and cooking tips for the blind produced in braille and large print.

Here's the really bad news… my proposal must be completed by Sunday night. I 
plan to request the maximum allowed in the application process which is $1000.

Thank you all for any and all ideas you are able to provide.

Janet
