Re: [CnD] New to the list and cooking tips
Good Evening, Welcome to the list, Brennen. You ask some good questions. I don’t flip many things that I cook in the oven. When I do flip something, I use a wide single spatula or a set of kitchen. I find the double spatulas that are usually recommended by rehabilitation professionals difficult to use, particularly with small things such as hamburger or sausage patties. As for flipping French fries, I use a long handled spoon, such as those used for serving or ladling things. I also use an 8 or 9 inch square pan to cook them in, rather than a cookie sheet as most instructions for doing fries in the oven suggest. Again, welcome to the list and congratulations on having your own place.

Re: [CnD] Baked Steak
Hi Ron, Dale Campbell shared a tip that I have tried with the George Foreman Grill. When you transfer your food to a plate or cookie sheet as I do sometimes, wet a good quality paper towel with hot water, place it on your open grill and quickly shut it. You will hear a loud sizzle. I forgot to say unplug or turn off your grill before putting on the towel. Let it sit there while you eat or whatever. When you open it again, throw out the towel. It will still be kind of a pain, but the theory is that it will loosen all of those little bits so it will be easier to get it clean.

I have a George Foreman grill, but I don't like it. Why Don't I like using it? It's a pain in the neck to clean all of those grooves. I do enjoy the new talking black and decker talking toaster oven though and my microwave oven.

[CnD] Convction Cooking
From: The Convection Oven Cookbook By The General Electric Company In a convection oven, a fan circulates hot Air around the food and evenly distributes it throughout The oven cavity. Circulating air prevents heat >From collecting at the top of the oven and creates a more Uniform oven temperature. The circulating air Uniformly heats the food, producing a crisp, Brown exterior. Conventional baking and roasting temperatures May need to be reduced by 25 degrees F when convection cooking. Convection Techniques Many of the techniques used in conventional cooking are Also important when cooking by convection. Following these recommendations will assure exceptional baking results. The same cookware and utensils that are normally used when conventionally baking Can also be used in convection ovens. For best results, However, use shiny, aluminum utensils. Dark or matte finish utensils will produce darker browning On food surfaces. Heat-resistant paper and plastic containers that manufacturers recommend for use in conventional Ovens can be used in convection ovens. Plastic cooking utensils that are heat resistant to Temperatures of 400 degrees are also suitable. Use a pan with low sides whenever possible. A shallow pan allows air to circulate Around the food more efficiently. As a general rule, reduce conventional temperatures by 25 degrees. Remember, oven walls, shelves and utensils do get hot during cooking. Always use dry oven mitts when removing Utensils from the oven. Convection roasting is ideal for meat. Moisture and flavor are Sealed in quickly as circulating hot air browns the surface. Chicken and other poultry Crisp golden skin but stay juicy and tender. Casseroles may bake in less time or at a lower temperature than in a conventional oven. Pies baked in a convection oven are evenly browned, tender and flaky. The convection ovens uniform temperature helps keep airy foods, such as cream puffs, high and light. Breads baked in the convection oven have consistent texture and evenly browned crusts. Adapting Recipes for Convection Cooking 1.As a general rule when converting recipes for convection baking, 2. Reduce baking temperatures by 25 degrees F. Exceptions are 3. Roasts, layer cakes, yeast breads and two-crust pies. 2. Cook times may be reduced as well. Some foods may actually cook in one-fourth to one-third less time in the Convection oven. 4.Preheating the oven is usually not necessary. However, preheating may be desirable for foods with 5. Short cook times, such as cookies and biscuits. 4. Check foods for doneness at minimum time. 6.Use utensil size recommended for recipe.

[CnD] cooking tips - chicken in toaster oven
Chicken legs or thighs work wonderfully in toaster oven. I put them in a baking disk and smother them in sweet baby ray's barbecue sauce and cook them for one and a half hours and turn them about half through or so. Turn out really yummy. Made them today. Also if you are in to pizza, I get a large pizza from my favorite pizza place then then split it up and freeze it in freezer bags and then cook it frozen in the toaster over and tastes like just came from pizza place. Hope this helps and good luck. rich ___ Cookinginthedark mailing list Cookinginthedark@acbradio.org http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark
Re: [CnD] cooking tips / try a crock pot
Hi so I understand that people‘s preferences are to use a slow cooker and I get that it’s the easiest quickest way to do it and maybe from time to time I’ll use it but the problem I’m having is that for those times that I’m not home And something were to happen God for bed I’m not gonna get home until it’s too late and then what am I supposed to do A lot of times it seems like when fires happen it’s either when people are not at home or when people are sleeping and I would rather be able to cook things where I can control what’s happening and if it’s scaring me I can unplug it or stop it easily enough That’s why in the email I had said that I have a toaster oven and an Amazon oven to show that I specifically wanted to hear about ovens and how other blind people use their ovens and how they do things as completely blind cookers of foods And now on the other hand I understand that everybody does things differently and if you guys use the slow cooker for everything cooking related I understand I just would rather keep this specifically related to ovens such as the toaster oven and maybe the smart ovens to and how you guys handle stuff with those if you have them Sent from my iPhone > On Feb 16, 2020, at 5:23 PM, Immigrant via Cookinginthedark > wrote: > > If I can help it, I will never leave home while food is cooking, I don't > care what appliance is used for the cooking.

[CnD] Slow cooker
OK, enough; my sighted friend Howard (when he was alive) did not like The slow cooker. He was the only one I knew who did not care for it, not because Of the safety concerns; he just did not like leaving anything on while away from the house. There are cookbooks that explain how they work and have Recipes for that appliance, all with specific instructions.

Re: [CnD] cooking tips / try a crock pot
Slow cookers is one thing you don't have to add water to a dish unless it calls for it, because when you cook meat in it, fat cook out of it and adds more liquid to it on its own. It is not such a good idea to overflow a slow cooker or crockpot. And the lid has to be kept on so the liquid won't boil away From a dish that should be cooked for some time. Never fill one more than two-thirds full. If you don't care for this type of cooking, you don't have to. But, I am just saying, for some things I like it because you don't have to watch it closely, and soups and stews are my favorite things to cook in it, and of course, corned beef, which I have once a year.

[CnD] cooking tips / try a crock pot
You might want to pick up a crock pot. They are very accessible once you know the knob settings. I have two different sizes ones that I use all the time. One is smaller, like two and a half quarts and one is like about six quarts. Had them for years and have served me well. Hope that helps. I also have a Hamilton beach toaster oven that I just love. It is called easy reach because it is designed ike an old school roll top desk where the door lifts up over it. I use it more than my large regular oven. Hope this helps out.

Before you reach into a hot oven to grab the hot cookie sheet with sides full of oven French fries, don't forget to put on protective gloves, like the Grips Blind Mice Megamall sells.

Here's what I do. First, I put the iron on a pizza pan, just in case anything spills. I use a metal measuring cup as that makes it easier to tap the sides of the iron to get positioning. I turn the iron on and wait for it to click. I open it and put 2/3 cups of batter in the center. If you need to find your location marker while the iron is cold and the measuring cup is empty. Close the iron and listen for the click again. It's ready, and it will tend to adhere to the top just a bit until you knock the waffle loose.

The first waffle I made I put the batter on the iron after the grease and that was all done with the iron being cold. Then I applied the power and waited until I could smell the batter cooking. Once that was done I opened the iron and got me the first waffles off that iron. Since I lived alone at the time I didn't make large batches of waffles on the iron so never needed to grease the iron again while cooking but expect you could cut the power and allow the iron to cool some and then grease the iron again. You might get away with a second set of waffles on the iron before needing to grease again but I wouldn't try for three sets of waffles otherwise you'd likely have sticking.

Re: [CnD] Waffle iron
Hello, everyone!! My waffle iron is made by Holstein Housewares. It is nice and small. I use a cookie sheet with sides under it in case some of the Batter drips.
