Re: things for a laugh when you live or are on your own
Re: things for a laugh when you live or are on your own @6 I think what you're looking for is called a contact grill. If you buy on Amazon, definitely get sighted help or their disability assistance line to ID one that doesn't have digital controls. I have one with dials that is rather nice. Though, these days, I'm sold on pellet grills. Fortunately I have the outdoor space for one, and nice enough weather during much of the year to use it.

Re: things for a laugh when you live or are on your own wow, @4 you are always so chock full of amazing advice, thanks. I will have to save some money to get all of this you have mentioned, but for the time being I think flipping has actually worked well for me in these days, as long as you are careful and just like anything else, practice practice practice. I get chicken breast right now without really burning myself. Thankfully mine is a rather long, wide cooking pan with a handle with a lot of surface area, so that makes things so much easier anyway.Oh, By the way, if I get an electric grill or griddle, must it really be from the George Foreman brand? or is there a specific name for these that are double sided? I ask because i have read some reviews and I think it could always do better, or maybe I am looking up the wrong models. Or, what about a double pan you can just close completely and flip over the stove top?And oh that tale about the pigs flying...I once went to the freezer to make some juice, and got out what I thought was fruit pulp. So I very confidently broke some of that frozen thing and threw it into water in the blender and then poured it in a glass and mixed with a small amount of sugar .. then I almost puked. What I got out was a frozen sauce you can put on food for several kinds of spices to enhance meats and such.

Re: things for a laugh when you live or are on your own
Re: things for a laugh when you live or are on your own Guys you should never flip stuff with a fork. Use either a double sided grill like someone else suggested, or use something with which you can grab stuff from both sides, so that it does not let go. also, a fork is way too short.

Re: things for a laugh when you live or are on your own
Re: things for a laugh when you live or are on your own Since my lady is a major fish eaterr I'm well used to cooking fish, and there are many options that can avoid burns and complications. First,I personally never try flipping anything, as that could be needlessly complex and lead to the sort of mess you got into. I either cook things in the oven itself, or on the good old George forman grill. The advantage to cooking on the George is that as it is double sided, no need to flip anything, just put your steak/burger/chicken whatever on the top, and close the lid.The other method is using the oven, which I do for dry stuff that isn't too fatty, EG marinaded chicken, fish in crumb etc. Here I use an oven tray and some very handy stuff called dry fry, this is like a spray on oil. It's virtually no calories, and is for grilling, but insures your stuff doesn't stick to the tray. Another method that works really well with crumbly fish not in crumb, is to wrap it in tin foil, which is not only good for cooking it, but also great for insuring it doesn't either stick to the tray or fall to bits, indeed a really nice and very quick way to do some really awesome seasoned salmon is to wrap it in the tin foil with a slice of lemon and a dash of black pepper.As for getting stuff of off trays, it's practice, trial and improvement, also finding the right tool for the job that suits you. I use a spatula which looks more like a very blunt bbq fork with the tines stuck together, so you can scoop stuff up with it on the long handle, it's also wide enough to pick stuff up. Oh, and as for comic cooking catastrophes, I think the best ever was the time I literally saw pigs fly. I have a slow cooker, also sometimes called a crock pot, which is like a huge pot in an inserted frame which gets hot. You basically just chuck stuff in it and let it gently stew for about six hours, it's great for chilly, spaghetti curry etc. It's also really good for roasting joints of meat, especially gammon. Of course, when I stick a gammon joint in there, I part fill it with water to stop the gammon sticking to the bottom. So I had one situation when there it was, nice joint of gammon in slow cooker, sitting in huge bath of partly boiling water. Only problem? How to get it out. This required trying to balance the rather hefty joint on a spatula, whilst I balanced a plate underneath. Only problem? my draining board was rather full so I put the slow cooker on the top of my stove, on a ring, with the plate I'm going to put the gammon on beside me on the draining board. So there I am, spatula in one hand, carefully trying to remove ham, when suddenly pang! over goes the slow cooker! Luckily all the boiling water went straight into the sink, unfortunately it took the path to do this right over my ham holding hand! I dropped the spatula giving a yell, whereupon the gammon joint fell, conveniently straight onto the plate, that was lucky. I grab the plate with my other hand to stop the gammon escaping, however due to the narrowness of my draining board, the plate is now at a gently sloaping angle. The gammon proceeded to drop straight onto the plate and perform a very graceful skee jump, right down the plate and plop! onto the floor. i bend down to pick up the gammon, however, the gammon is still very hot, so I holding it quite gingerly with fingertips. I drop it back onto the plate without correcting the plate's angled state, so, yet again, the gammon does the crester run! swsh plop! Oddly enough, despite all this, and the need to clean the kitchen floor afterwards, the gammon actually tasted fine .

Re: things for a laugh when you live or are on your own
Re: things for a laugh when you live or are on your own oh yes we definitely do. another blind friend heated his lunch one day and as it is normal to do, the pot had metallic handles only so he used a small cloth to grab the pot... only thing is that he did not realize that you really should think of your placement before doing anything, and of course you should turn things off first before making any move whatsoever. SO, the tip of the cloth caught on fire because it was placed directly on the flame. He thought that the stove was just getting too hot and did not pay attention until a few seconds later when the burning smell came. When he put out the flame by sticking the cloth in water it was already too late, the cloth had disappeared.

Re: things for a laugh when you live or are on your own
Re: things for a laugh when you live or are on your own Oh, man, I have such a hard time with salmon too. I have a salmon steak sitting in my freezer right now because I'm afraid I'll put in all the effort for it to fall apart on my grill. I need to just say fuck it and grill the thing, but I've never gotten them to stay together. Thanks for the tip. I'll try it, smoke the thing, and see how it turns out.But these sorts of things happen with my girlfriend all the time. She's in a wheelchair, so I often help her get ready. One day I was in a hurry packing her lunch for work, and just grabbed containers out of the fridge without opening and smelling them. I sent her to work with half an onion and a container of pasta sauce for lunch. Oopse. Blind people make the most amazing mistakes...

things for a laugh when you live or are on your own
things for a laugh when you live or are on your own Ok, so I have moved out recently, and tons of things have happened that teach me something all the time.One of them: I ruined a salmon's aspect. I normally use a fork to flip everything as it is way easier, you can practice almost any time you eat something, and you definitely have more control than when using a spatula, though I guess with practice you could achieve that, too.So at first I mistook it for chicken breast. So it was a bit late, but well, it started cooking. I left it for about 4 minutes when it should have been more like about 6 or 7. I flipped it over successfully. I turned the stove off to carefully feel if that side was cooked right, because thermometer was giving curious readings. Obviously, it was not. SO I left the other side about 6 minutes and decided to flip it over, again. But, ah, surprise, it broke. I noticed after a minute of going back and forth that something was not working, I did not feel the same weight on the fork... so I scraped the fork against the pan and to my dismay discovered I had separated a piece. This went on some more until I decided to just throw in the towel, turned it all off, and turned as much as I could that I knew was still not turned over, over (sorry for the redundancy). Of course tiny burning droplets of oil jumping into your hand is not fun at all, and I finally waited for the stove to cool down completely (about five minutes) which means that whatever else was raw finished cooking. I then put it on a plate along with the rest of the stuff for dinner that night.But, that taught me things.For one, the taste was great. It was just well cooked, so a happy ending.Second, breaking fish while happens to everyone, even sighted, and they all hate hate hate this wholeheartedly. So one tip is to put a bit of wheat flour on a flat plate and put both sides of whatever you are going to cook on the plate for a moment, so that they won't stick and have a light coating. Still, everyone insist on a spatula.Third: burning oil.. happens to everyone, and even some family relatives have their right hands with very small skin burns. So you should just get used to it a bit I would guess.Not only cooking, I once mismatched differently, striking contrasting colored socks (I think it was something like black and red), wore them all day and a friend noticed and told me. Once I also pulled what I thought was frozen fruit pulp from the fridge to make juice and upon its rather bad taste after coming out of the blender, it turned out to be a sauce that you can freeze to put on meals if you want to spice them up a bit. So I think about this all and laughter always comes, if not at least a smile. SO what are some of your adventures or best moments?
