Hi Jean,
Thanks for sharing these recipes.
It is a different book than the one that Marjorie sells at the Book Stop.  I 
have that bpook, and about 48 other ones.  I enjoy buying them and also helping 
once in a while to put one together.
It’s so much fun to read them or just to make things.
My air fryer has been here since 2016.  It’s not like these new fancy ones they 
have.  There are just two top buttons, two bottom buttons, and one in the 
middle.
They beep when you press them, and it’s not really too complicated.  Mostly I 
like to put frozen foods in it, but I have made a few raw things.
I like my microwave, oven, crockpot and my fryer.

KITCHEN CORNER

FROM AIR FRY EVERY DAY

By Ben Mims

I hope you are all doing as well as can be expected as by the time this goes
to press we hope and pray life will be back to some sort of normalcy. I have
chosen Air Fryer Recipes  for this column as Air Fryers seems to be in vogue
these days. See you in September, Marjorie.

TRIPLE-COCONUT SHRIMP

Serves 2 to 4

1/2 lb peeled and deveined medium shrimp (tails intact)

1 cup canned coconut milk

Finely grated zest of 1 lime

Kosher salt

1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs

1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut

Freshly ground black pepper

Cooking spray

1 small or 1/2 medium cucumber, halved and seeded

1 cup coconut yogurt (or dairy yogurt)

1 serrano chile, seeded and minced

In a bowl, combine the shrimp, coconut milk, lime zest, and 1/2 tsp kosher
salt. Let the shrimp stand for 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a separate bowl, stir together the breadcrumbs and shredded
coconut and season with salt and pepper.

A few at a time, add the shrimp to the breadcrumb mixture and toss to coat
completely. Transfer the shrimp to a wire rack set over a baking sheet. 

Spray the shrimp all over with cooking spray.

Transfer the shrimp to the air fryer and cook at 400F until golden brown and
cooked through, about

4 minutes. Move the shrimp to a serving platter and season with more salt.

Grate the cucumber into a small bowl. Stir in the coconut yogurt and chile
and season with salt and pepper. Serve alongside the shrimp while they’re
warm.

Go Basic:

To make plain fried shrimp, omit the coconut milk, lime zest, and shredded
coconut. Set up a breading station with 1 cup all-purpose flour, 4 large
eggs, lightly beaten, and 1 cup panko breadcrumbs in separate shallow bowls,
and season each with salt and pepper. Working one at a time, coat each
shrimp in the flour, dip in the egg, and dredge in the breadcrumbs. Transfer
the shrimp to a wire rack set over a baking sheet and continue with the
recipe.

I had the old braille book of Cooking Without Looking.  Unfortunately, it was 
on my shelf in the basement and it got water damaged.  I cried when I had to 
throw it out.
But I downloaded both copies from BARD.
The original version is read byh a gentleman, and the newer copy from about 
1980 is read by a female.  It’s about the same except it says visually 
handicapped instead of blind.
But I think the recipes are the same in both versions.

Greetings All,


While perusing numerous saved months of this forum I came across this 
post.  Wow, did it bring back some memories.  In 1970, I was a senior at 
Texas School For The Blind.  At the beginning of the year, two other 
senior guys and I needed a half credit to for some reason fill our 
graduation requirements.  It turned out that we could either take shop 
or home ec which meant cooking for half the year until Christmas break.  
We had all taken various kinds of shop for years so we decided together 
that it might be fun to take cooking, and so we did.  Mrs. Tipps had 
been the home ec teacher for many years and in fact, she had written 
Cooking Without Looking which was  inspired by her husband who was 
totally blind and had passed away sometime back.  As fate would have it, 
it ended up being just us three guys and Mrs. Tipps in cooking class.  
It was interesting because I don't think she had ever taught any males 
much less three fun-loving guys like us and no girls in class.  It was 
hard for us to take cooking class really seriously, so we probably took 
it half-seriously.  Anyway, I remember we laughed a lot and worked in 
some learning too.  To her credit, Mrs. Tipps was very tolerant of us.  
For the culmination of the cooking class, each class got to decide what 
they'd like for a meal and then prepare it.  When she asked us what we 
wanted to do for our meal, I wonder how she looked and what she thought 
when we told her we wanted to do chili and milk shakes.  The day before 
our meal, she went shopping and bought everything we'd need.  The next 
day when we came to class, somebody came and told us that Mrs. Tipps was 
out sick but her message to us was to go ahead and prepare our meal.  So 
I remember three unsupervised senior guys prepared and ate our chili and 
milk shakes.  I think we may have laughed the whole period. I remember 
the next class when she came back, the only thing she said was, "You 
know guys, you really didn't have to use all the ice cream for your milk 
shakes".  All in all, she was a nice lady and her book is still useful 
and has pretty much stood the test of time.

This works in the Instant Pot.
Sautae then add the liquid put it on rice setting with a natural release for 10

Hello, everyone.



For those who may be interested, I highly recommend the following

Books written for the blind.  They are all on Bard,

And in audio formats.



Cooking Without Looking by Esther Knudson Tipps



There are two different recordings of this book.

The information is dated, but much of it is useful and there

Are many easy recipes.  One of the audio versions is actually

Read by a blind man from a braille copy for NLS.



When the Cook Can't Look by Ralph Reed

He is blind and explains how he does things well, how

To do things step by step without vision or supervision.

He has recipes in the book, and he

Rates them level 1, 2, and 3.  All the recipes

Are easy and that book is well written.  It is read by

Ray Hagen.  One recipe I like is sauerbraten, which is not

Soaked with cookies; that recipe in the book is the real

Sauerbraten.



Another book full of tips is written by a

Deaf-blind woman.  It is called Pathways to

Independence by Rita Kersh.

It covers everything from housekeeping to

Cooking without sight and hearing, but those who can

Hear can also benefit from this book.

Please check it out.  It's on Bard.



Another one available on Bard is

Adaptive Culinary Techniques for the Visually Impaired

It is well written by its blind author.



I frequently monitor Bard and so all this

Comes down to knowing what is out there.

Wonder if this could be adapted for the Instant Pot.

It would cook faster, obviously.  But the saute function would work to start it 
out.

Philly Steak, 2 ways, soup or sandwiches

 

Happy Friday, Slow Cookerers!!

I've got a treat for you today --- one of the favorite recipes on the site and 
in my first cookbook is for Philly Cheesesteak Soup.

It's pretty much everything you'd expect : savory, a bit tangy, and full of 
steak, onions, peppers, provolone cheese, and flavor.

the only thing missing is the bread!

 

Philly Cheesesteak Soup

serves 4-6 or so

 

1 pound thinly cut beef strips (I used beef chuck steaks that I cut with 
kitchen shears)

Sugar's note, I often ask my butcher in the meat department to slice and cut 
all my meats.

 

4 cups beef broth

2 cups skim or 2% milk

1 tablespoon butter

1 yellow onion, peeled and cut in slices

Sugar's note: I love the red or purple onion as it is a bit sweeter

2 bell peppers (I used one green, one red)

2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce

3 cloves chopped garlic

1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

1 teaspoon kosher salt

8 ounces provolone cheese (to add at the very end)

 

The Directions.

Add the 1 tablespoon of butter to your crockpot and turn it on high to melt. 

Cut up your meat and add it to the crock, swirling it into the butter to coat. 
Add the chopped peppers, onion, and garlic. 

 

Add the Worcestershire, salt and pepper. 

Stir in the beef broth and milk.

Cover and cook on low for 6 to 7 hours, or on high for about 4 - 5. 

 

The soup is done when the meat has reached the desired tenderness.

Before serving, stir in the provolone cheese. It will melt in stringy 
chunks---yum.

 

The Verdict. 

This is a delicious soup. I was very pleased with the flavor of the broth. 

 The broth is thin, if you feel you'd like a thicker broth, you can make a roux 
on the stove with the butter and some flour or cornstarch before adding to the 
crockpot. 

I don't like cooking before cooking, and opted to not bother with this step.

But I also don't care if the broth is thin. If thin broth bothers you --make 
the roux.

 

:-)

and here is the Sandwich Version! 

Philly Cheesesteak Sandwich

serves 4

 

The Ingredients.

 

(use 1/2 pound of meat per person)

2 pounds sliced tri-tip or fajia meat

1/2 sliced onion

2 red, green, yellow or orange bell pepper, sliced

1/3 cup of white wine

Sugar's note: you can leave this out and add a little aju sauce or broth.

2 tablespoons  Worcestershire sauce (not pictured)

--favorite cheese: American, Cheddar, Gruyere, Swiss, Provolone

  

The Directions.

If you are using 2 pounds of meat, use a 4-quart slow cooker. 

--dump sliced meat into stoneware 

--put sliced pepper and onion in too

--add white wine and Worcestershire sauce

  

cover and cook on low for 8-9 hours or high for 4-6.

  

 

Spoon meat onto sliced french rolls or other favorite bread-item. 

 

Bake at 400 degrees for 12-15 minutes, or until cheese is nice and melty.

 

enjoy!! Happy Slow Cooking!!!

I am sorry that I am bringing up this topic because I am sure everybody else
is sick of it.



But I am considering buying an air fryer and would like a recommendation.  I
can use a good accessible app, but my husband is low vision and does not
want to have to use an app.  It is important to him to be able to cook
pieces of chicken, not just thin pieces like wings.  We want to be able to
put enough food in it for both of us and not have to do a whole bunch of
batches for dinner.  Is this a tall order?

[CnD] Cp Philly Steak, 2 ways, soup or sandwiches

2020-07-10 Thread Sugar Lopez via Cookinginthedark
Philly Steak, 2 ways, soup or sandwiches

 

Happy Friday, Slow Cookerers!!

I've got a treat for you today --- one of the favorite recipes on the site and 
in my first cookbook is for Philly Cheesesteak Soup.

It's pretty much everything you'd expect : savory, a bit tangy, and full of 
steak, onions, peppers, provolone cheese, and flavor.

the only thing missing is the bread!

 

Philly Cheesesteak Soup

serves 4-6 or so

 

1 pound thinly cut beef strips (I used beef chuck steaks that I cut with 
kitchen shears)

Sugar's note, I often ask my butcher in the meat department to slice and cut 
all my meats.

 

4 cups beef broth

2 cups skim or 2% milk

1 tablespoon butter

1 yellow onion, peeled and cut in slices

Sugar's note: I love the red or purple onion as it is a bit sweeter

2 bell peppers (I used one green, one red)

2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce

3 cloves chopped garlic

1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

1 teaspoon kosher salt

8 ounces provolone cheese (to add at the very end)

 

The Directions.

Add the 1 tablespoon of butter to your crockpot and turn it on high to melt. 

Cut up your meat and add it to the crock, swirling it into the butter to coat. 
Add the chopped peppers, onion, and garlic. 

 

Add the Worcestershire, salt and pepper. 

Stir in the beef broth and milk.

Cover and cook on low for 6 to 7 hours, or on high for about 4 - 5. 

 

The soup is done when the meat has reached the desired tenderness.

Before serving, stir in the provolone cheese. It will melt in stringy 
chunks---yum.

 

The Verdict. 

This is a delicious soup. I was very pleased with the flavor of the broth. 

 The broth is thin, if you feel you'd like a thicker broth, you can make a roux 
on the stove with the butter and some flour or cornstarch before adding to the 
crockpot. 

I don't like cooking before cooking, and opted to not bother with this step.

But I also don't care if the broth is thin. If thin broth bothers you --make 
the roux.

 

:-)

and here is the Sandwich Version! 

Philly Cheesesteak Sandwich

serves 4

 

The Ingredients.

 

(use 1/2 pound of meat per person)

2 pounds sliced tri-tip or fajia meat

1/2 sliced onion

2 red, green, yellow or orange bell pepper, sliced

1/3 cup of white wine

Sugar's note: you can leave this out and add a little aju sauce or broth.

2 tablespoons  Worcestershire sauce (not pictured)

--favorite cheese: American, Cheddar, Gruyere, Swiss, Provolone

  

The Directions.

If you are using 2 pounds of meat, use a 4-quart slow cooker. 

--dump sliced meat into stoneware 

--put sliced pepper and onion in too

--add white wine and Worcestershire sauce

  

cover and cook on low for 8-9 hours or high for 4-6.

  

 

Spoon meat onto sliced french rolls or other favorite bread-item. 

 

Bake at 400 degrees for 12-15 minutes, or until cheese is nice and melty.

 

enjoy!! Happy Slow Cooking!!!

each of us faces, I think we would treat each other much more gently, with more 
love, patience, tolerance, and care."

Subject: [CnD] Air Fryer Recommendations?

I am sorry that I am bringing up this topic because I am sure everybody else
is sick of it.



But I am considering buying an air fryer and would like a recommendation.  I
can use a good accessible app, but my husband is low vision and does not
want to have to use an app.  It is important to him to be able to cook
pieces of chicken, not just thin pieces like wings.  We want to be able to
put enough food in it for both of us and not have to do a whole bunch of
batches for dinner.  Is this a tall order?



Thanks for any recommendations.

Sometimes that is exactly what must happen. It is a dumb way to have
to operate, but there sometimes simply isn't a choice. I have found
lately that the samples in the stores now are often mock ups and not
the real thing. That means you can't tell anyway if it will work when
you order it because they don't have the model you want in the store
and have to order it for you anyway. Now with more things going to the
order online policy, I fear it will get even harder to find what you are 
looking for in the stores.

To tell the truth, I am not sure how to tell the difference without
seeing them.  Does anybody know if those are called a touch pad or
something to distinguish them from a plain glass screen?  This is why
I am confused as well.

These days, even if we have stores in our area that have them, I know

Isn't it great to be high risk?

Okay I understand this, but I want to make sure it is not a touch screen.
Just to make it clear a touch screen like the I-phone would not work.
It needs to be a flat screen like a microwave.
If it is  a touch screen I will not have any way to control it.

The regular version I previously had has dials that had no start and
stop point, they are digital.
That's why I purchased the plus model.

I think there is a difference between knobs and dials.
