Re: [CnD] Is There a Secret to Opening Canned Corned Beef?
I don’t have trouble most of the time. I’ve gotten a couple thin little cuts many years ago. I can do it on a manual or electric Can opener. I usually take it all out of the can and put it into a bowl or container so I don’t touch those sharp edges and get cut. I like to slice it up all at once anyway. The thing that still gives me the willies in the kitchen is opening one of those cans of biscuits or rolls that pops. That bam really startles me and I always ask someone to open it if there is anyone around. It startled me the first time and I just dread that pop, but getting cut a little on a can, oh well. Haha.

My mother-in-law bought me a little tool for pulling off those keys on cans. The problem is that I cut myself with them once or twice in the past and I'm now deathly afraid of them. Even though I know what I did wrong back then. Fear is not rational, which ought to be obvious. Anyway, I don't know what this little thing is called. But the cans will open even around the key with a good can opener.

Hi, Everyone. I wanted to make a corned beef and egg omelet for sandwiches and didn't get very far with the can. I broke the key and don't know how I'll get it open without Sweetheart's help. This is the second time this week. The can strip that I managed to remove is wound really tightly around the key, so I don't see how it can be removed. Is there a secret to successfully opening those kinds of cans? I hope so, because there are more cans like that in my near future, and I'm not looking forward to unsuccesses. Would a regular can opener work?

Re: [CnD] CP sloppy joes
That sounds like it would be well worth the try. It does say to cook 3 to 5 hours. I would think it would be safe to do it without pre-browning it.

I hope you are enjoying your summer months. We certainly are - lots of vegging and relaxing and sleeping and eating. here is a fun twist on a classic sloppy joe recipe -- what's neat about this for entertaining is that you can mix up a huuuge batch beforehand -- so when your guests arrive you can enjoy them rather than manning the barbecue or fussing over something cooking on the stove. And I'm pretty sure it doesn't get any more American than sloppy joes!! Homemade Sloppy Joes serves 4 as is, can be quadrupled in 6-quart slow cooker 1 pound lean ground meat packet of sloppy joe mix (check for gluten, or use recipe below) 1 (6-ounce) can tomato paste 1 cup of water or, use this: Homemade From Scratch Sloppy Joe Mix makes 1 packet: 1 tablespoon onion flakes 1 tablespoon paprika 2 tablespoons brown sugar 1 teaspoon cumin 1 teaspoon kosher salt 1 teaspoon cornstarch 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder 1/4 teaspoon ground mustard -1/4 teaspoon celery seed 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper The Directions. Use a 4 quart slow cooker for 1 pound of meat, or a 6-quart for larger quantities. Mix the meat with the sloppy joe mix and the tomato paste. Add the cup of water, and stir well. Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours, or on high for 3-5 hours. The meat is done when it is crumbly and fully cooked. Serve with hamburger buns, or on top of rice. The Verdict. These were delicious! The kids enjoyed the "ketchup meat" and liked that they were kind of messy. This is a super fun and memorable potluck or dish for entertaining. enjoy!! happy slow cooking! steph "If we could look into each other's hearts and understand the unique challenges each of us faces, I think we would treat each other much more gently, with more love, patience, tolerance, and care."

Re: [CnD] Kitchen bloopers: Re: More books written for the blind
I imagine that smelled awful. I did something dumb right after I got my air fryer. Being I am in my late 60’s now, I can’t even imagine I did this. I was here by myself in the house and decided to put some frozen fries in the air fryer, and then said oh well, I’ll have a frozen burger too. Well, I took out the burger and put it in there on top of the fries. Well, not much later it started smelling like smoke and the grease from the burger started dropping onto the fries and the heat started rising up. My home alarm started buzzing really loud and started hollering “Smoke! Fire! Hallway!” I unplugged the air fryer as fast as I could. I had to run onto the front porch to clear the hot air out of my throat. Soon I got it all cleared out, wiped it down and saved the meal the best I could. That smelled awful! That was totally dumb. I was not sure what I was thinking.

I learned to keep my counter and range tops free and clear of everything. The paper towel stuck to the bottom of a damp cookie sheet and went into the oven with the cookies. It smelled like smoke in my kitchen but went away as soon as the oven cooled down. My inspection didn't reveal anything in the oven when I looked, but again, smoke when I turned it on again. Sighted help revealed the paper towel which had fallen through the bars of the oven rack to the bottom of the oven. Fortunately it did not have contact with the electric element so there were no flames, but it was a very dried out paper towel by the time it was rescued. The only real flames I ever produced were a potholder that got its corner between the burner and the pot I was working with. I was trying to pop corn in an aluminum pan with a lid which was really the inside of an old electric popper, so the kettle bottom was round like a ball. I deserved what I got for stupidity that time. No harm though, I just put the potholder into a sink of water. I had to throw the potholder away but there was no damage to the pot or kitchen. I gave the pot away or maybe just tossed it too. I had inherited it from a sighted person who had been popping corn in it for years. I learned there were a few things more risky than I wanted to do the same as my friends.

Good thing no one was hurt except a lot of pride. I bet it was a long time before your parents let you make stuff. I did not really get started until I was in college and was dating George. He would come to college to see me a lot and I lived on a floor in the ddorm where we had a kitchenette. We could save money by not being on the food contract. I loved it and at least George didn’t have a problem with me making stuff and we did meals together.

Re: [CnD] old braille cookbooks
I was talking about books from Bookshare, not that library, they are just braille books. I was talking about seeing the entire contents of a book from Bookshare. Did you also know that your Victor can read you the BRF files from Bard, you need no braille display to hear it at least. Your Victor speech voice reads it, and you don’t even need to have the Victor authorized to hear the BRF books. You do for the audio books though. I can hear the braille ones or magazines on any of my Victors and I only have one of them authorized right now. I never knew for a while that braille books, the BRF ones, are all open.

Thanks, Linda and Everyonee, I don’t want to forget anyone. There is so much strength in prayer. I had an idea, I’m not really a singer.

Re: [CnD] the air fry recipes being discussed lately
It came from Cooks Essential and I got it from QVC in 2016. Mine had a little what they call a wire rack. My friend’s model was the same, but it came with what they call a cake pan. We called them a grill and a bowl. But, I called around early in 2018 and inquired about getting these items. I gave him the ones he and I had, and I kept the new items I bought. I have never tried to bake a little cake in my air fryer, but that would be interesting. It’s a metal bowl with a handle on it that lays down to the side. You’d have to handle it with a mitt. But I did use that little grill a few times for chicken patties or burgers. If you press the middle button, then the lower right, then the middle again, they beep and then it starts the preheating cycle, maybe it takes up to 10 minutes. But I think it heats it to 350. There are 4 presets on it, so after it is preheated, you press the middle one, then whichever of the other 4, and the middle again. The four buttons have meanings, whether you are changing time or temp. But as far as the presets, you go by: the top left says fries, chicken, steak, and fish. I think fries is 400 for 12 minutes. I think chicken is 18 minutes at 360, steak is 10 minutes at 360 and I think fish is 400 for 10. But in some other mode, when you press those buttons, they increase either the time or temp. I never learned much more than the presets. Somewhere in this house is the book that came with mine. If I could have it found, I could get someone to record it for me. Now, more books are available to us. I’ve been just going by the seat of my pants. I just feel the potatoes along the way and decide they need more time by the way it feels. , I am sure glad I got this one so I can at least feel these 5 buttons. I think it cost me about 120 bucks or so and I think I got 5 easy payments.

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.

Jeanne JULY/AUGUST2020 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
Re: [CnD] old braille cookbooks
Thanks, Karen! He was 59, he was 8 years and 3 days younger. He was over here on the first two Saturdays in May, and I had made this big crockpot of bean soup with all kinds of veggies and stuff in it. He seemed to like it, because I was answering questions about what was in it. Then on May 9, he seemed really down and I did start to worry. He made an attempt on April 22, and stayed at the hospital for six days. But he swore to me and to God he would never try again. But, it was reported to us on the 17th of May he never showed up at work all week. My son had to go and open his house with the police and they found him. I’ve never had anything so awful happen. With my husband, George, we knew it was coming in 2012. I’m sad he never got to meet Firefly. Dan loved my dogs, both guide and just pet ones. I think he just got bvery depressed with some things at work. We went to some nice concerts together in recent years. Like Kenny Rogers, Gordon Lightfoot, Paul McCartney and the Eagles. We also met the lady who was the little girl in It’s A Wonderful Life. She was 76 when we met her and he bought a picture. I’ll klways have those memories.

Ihave the New King James in 20 volumes on my living room shelves. It was donated to my regional library so I put in for it.

Re: [CnD] old braille cookbooks
Hi Pauline,\ You may be right about places feeling uncomfortable about sending braille books out. I’ve gotten a couple of them from Dr. McGee’s Bible bus place in California over the summer. But they are for you to just keep, not something coming back to them if you are borrowing books as you would at the Library. They do sell copies of some of the stuff but cannot sell it if it was donated to them from someone. I like the cookbooks that they have from churches, those recipes are so good. They give you a month but you can ask for one more month if you can’t finish with it right away. I record them on my Victor Stream. That way I am not frazzled about getting them back to them on time. I did get your message in the other place and will get back to you very soon.

Re: [CnD] old braille cookbooks
Seeing It Our Way is a monthly magazine put out by Horizons For The Blind in Crystal Lake, Illinois. It has a recipe column by Kathy Claus and they have knitting and crochet patterns, which I can’t knit or crochet a note, haha. It is 30 dollars a year. I’ll have to renew by September. Sometimes, you kinda get 13 in a row, but not sure all the time. They were pretty late during the past year, but unfortunately, the director passed from cancer in May. They also sell braillebooks, pans and lots of neat stuff in their Gadget Gallery. A lot of the braille books would interest me but are high. They have a microwave corn popper that’s about 9 or 10 bucks.

Re: [CnD] I have A leaf from our table
Yes, I remember because at the convention in Vegas, you could either get the disc or they probably would have shipped it to my house. I just wanted to get it right away. At least it is all there. I had a nice friend send me the braille edition of that book by Christine Ha. I did download the talking book version from BARD. It was read by Carrie, the same lady who read Cooking Without Looking in 1980 but before she was married. Anyway, there is no glossary, or I mean, she doesn’t spell anything for you that I can tell. So, now that this friend sent me her braille book, if it’s complete, at least I will know how she spells different stuff. This will sound weird, but this same friend decided he needs to down size. He sent me a slow cooker book that was put out by NBP. Well, I later found out that the book is really 7 volumes on Bard. There are 3 more volumes for vegetables and stuff. He sent me 4 volumes disguised as the whole books. I asked another friend who well, works for NBP. He said, yes, they do or have released part of a book and then come out with the rest of it later. I thought, what? But it was true. I just downloaded the whole thing from BARD. How can you release a book when it is half of a book? Okay!

Oh, wow, I have a coffee can with a tight fitting lid. I pour the 4 or 5 pound can into the can. If it doesn’t run out, I put one of those bread ties really tight on the sugar bag just until it goes down enough for the rest to fit. I’d never want the possibility of a roach, an ant, a fly or any other kind of a bug when I can’t see or hear them there. Yucky! Well, if that volume 3 ever crawls out of the shed, let me know, I could probably do it all within a week or so, unless I get really busy fast.

But there is a tip in there I think is just nuts! Well, many may be, but this one, if you have ants, put your sugar bowl on a paper plate and sprinkle ant powder onto the plate so the ants won't get into the sugar. Well, ants literally send me screaming, so I can't deal. But, really??? Put ant poison onto a paper plate that you will touch as you get into the sugar bowl? Um, I don't think so!

Re: [CnD] More books written for the blind
I tried to look on that link, but couldn’t navigate it much. The one I had was called Evelyn Lee’s New Cookbook, so she must have had a couple. The introduction was written by I think a gentleman who was so totally amazed that she was blind, he could not get over himself, haha. I think it’s like people who ask you who dresses you or where your care giver is. If it is the same book, I have Volume 1, and if it is a different one, it must be incomplete if it is only Volume 1. But thanks. Somewhere in my house, I have the Braille Cookbook of 1948. Of course there were no more can labels in the back, just a spot where they used to be. That Big Boy sounds good. Yes, I have diabetes, but once in a while, you just want something that tastes good.

Re: [CnD] More books written for the blind
I remember there was another book called Food At Your Fingertips. I never got that one I think one summer when I went to this 5-week program up at the Michigan School For The Blind, there was a lady named Mrs. Schultz or something like that. She came from somewheredown South like maybe Arkansas or somewhere. She was older, but very kind and likeable. I think it was a 3-volume or so soft covered book. I wish there was a way to at least find copies of this stuff to borrow. I also had and it could be around here but I can’t find it. It was called A Campbell Cookbook. I have the 3 book collection from Blind Mice Megamall now, but they are not the one that was. There was a recipe in it called Souper Meat Loaf. It could have been either meat loaf or Meatloaf. Those books were so cool, and so rare back then.

There is another Braille Book on BARD, A leaf from our table / BRA10152 Porter, Marie; Catholic Guild. 2 volumes. A production of Catholic Guild. This book was put together by a group of blind women. I believe that these women all cooked and shared these recipes at meetings. They had several other books back in the 1970s. The book on making Bread, which was just called, Bread, is the one I used as a primer for my own learning how to make bread. They also had a salad and dessert book. Maybe there were others as well, but the only one I had was the one on bread. So many of the cookbooks I have seen by blind people's groups were rather obviously copied from somewhere else. I've seen some highly visual descriptions even in Cooking in the Dark cookbooks, though recipes I know are Dale's are very blind-friendly. So just because it was put out by an ACB or NFB affiliate doesn't mean that all the recipes have been test-driven by a real blind person. Somebody asks around for recipes and people just copy them out. They may or may not have cooked them, but they haven't necessarily adapted the instructions. I haven't seen any audio books on BARD written specifically for blind cooks. -Original Message- From: Cookinginthedark On Behalf Of gail johnson via Cookinginthedark Sent: Friday, July 10, 2020 7:35 PM To: cookinginthedark@acbradio.org Cc: gail johnson Subject: Re: [CnD] More books written for the blind What a hoot.

Re: [CnD] Easy Cheesy Zucchini Gratin
I think the xantham gum is used for thickener in foods for people who have to eat their meals gluten free. I probably wouldn’t ever have to use it, but if you found out the reason you were getting sick was from Celiac’s disease or something, you would have to make sure to stop using regular flour and other stuff. I guess most of us are pretty lucky to be able to use all the regular old stuff we use. But I know someone in one of my other groups who has to eat gluten free and I also now know of a second person who had to start eating that way too. She writes a recipe column too, so I sure wouldn’t like to have to do that. But I admire the people who have to come up with creative ways to do the stuff they make. I know this is an older message, but I still have a lot of stuff in my inbox.

Re: [CnD] the air fry recipes being discussed lately
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.

She gave me permission to post it. Her cookbooks are on Blindmicemegamall under Blind bookstop. Jeanne JULY/AUGUST2020 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 theyre 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.

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.

I don’t think it is expensive if you buy the digital book on sale now for 10 bucks. That’s the best way since we all are on our computers now, I get those books when they go on sale, because it takes way less space than the braille versions, and they are always less expensive than the braille.

Re: [CnD] PINTO BEAN SOUP
Hi All, That does sound wonderful, but right now I don’t have any packs of onion soup mix. I do have raw beans, I am not sure what kind, they could be kidney beans or whatever. I do have raw onions, so I put a couple of them into my crockpot right at the beginning of cooking so they have plenty of time to cook down and smell up the kitchen, haha. Then I add a few spices such as garlic salt and whatever I can find. Out of respect to other people living here, I don’t go heavy on the chili powder or taco seasoning. I save them for chili. But it really comes out good with the raw onion cut up very small.

Re: [CnD] Lipton's Meatloaf, From Jackie
When I copied down the recipe, I took out the slash and wrote the word or in between so it says onion or mushroom soup. Sometimes, you have to move the arrows around on a line if it doesn’t sound right just listening to things. You cannot tell in recipe titles or directions whether they wrote and or & (the ampersand). To most people I guess it would not matter, but when I copy things for my collection I want to get it as right as I can. When I learned about that ampersand in typing class in 4th grade, the teacher said we did not have to worry about it. But now, it is around, and they even have a braille sign in the books now, it is a dot 4 in front of the regular and sign.

Re: [CnD] Air fryers
I got my Cooks Essential air fryer in 2016 from QVC. It has a round button in the center and two smaller buttons on each side of that button. So the two smaller buttons are going up and down on each side of that middle button. You use combinations of pressing the middle button then one of those other four buttons to use the pre-sets or change the time and temperature manually. It beeps whenever you press them. The original cookbook was not accessible with either Jaws or NVDA when I tried to download it. I am not sure where my print one went in this house. So I am really happy that I can get air fryer books now and that recipes are coming out in my groups. Mostly, I find it is a big help with frozen things like egg rolls, chicken patties, fish and other premade things one would normally have to use the oven to make. My unit also came with a little wire rack that I call a grill. My friend got the same fryer but his came with a so-called cake pan that we called a bowl. Later, when he moved to another state, I called QVC who put me in touch with Cooks Essentials. I gave them the model number and bought another wire rack and cake pan so we each would have our own.

Hi All, This NVDA program does not say H T H. I had to space it to make it say it. It was saying Heath, haha. It made me hungry for a Heath Bar so I wondered what the note was talking about, (smile). I can power Jaws up and it would say the letters I suppose. NVDA also says Cuban Pesos instead of the word “cup”. But only when the measurement is a fraction. When it is a whole cup then it says it correctly. I wish I could stop it from saying Cuban Pesos. It is aggravating. Jaws always says it correctly.

Re: [CnD] Baked Parmesan Sour Cream Chicken
I am not trying to hurt anyone’s feelings, but I just want to say that recipes and directions in them are just guidelines. It’s like traveling, if we follow a road map, there may be a detour sign that is not on the road map or GPS. For those of us who have been around the kitchen a while, it makes little difference to me if I baked the meal on a baking sheet, broiler pan or casserole. Just do what is comfortable for you or use what you have,. For instance, I don’t see them telling you to use oven mitts in every recipe. But, if I want to continue to be a braille reader,, it’s obvious I will use mitts to put things in or take them out of the oven. I also always place my baking pan or casserole on a cookie sheet anyway, because the cookie sheet never gets quite as hot as a glass casserole does. There are a few things around the kitchen that need to be done exactly as it says or in a certain sequence. But general ideas can be done by just being sensible. I’ve held back in a few of my groups and of course, there is no stupid question except what you don’t ask. But, just think about it, what would it really change if you vary the size or shape of a pan just for a nice casserole dish?

Re: [CnD] Slow cooking
Hui Marie And All, I have been using slow cookers for a long time too. On my first one, the power cord gave out. I had another one that got dropped because I put it upon the refrigerator because we needed the counter space for something,and a cat jumped up there and knocked it to the floor. Other than that, I have had great success with them. I just made an easy bean soup the other day that I made with dried pinto beans, water and some seasonings. You just have to watch your proportions of beans to water, less is more. Just keep adding water every couple hours. I let it run through the night and in the morning I had wonderful soup.

I read that in the original Rival Crockpot Cookbook Back in the 1980's, and that information has stayed with me Ever since. I don't have to monitor it so closely, either. I never had a slow cooker boil over, either. It is not supposed to. Those of you who use one regularly know what I'm on about. I have gone out with the pot on low and when I got home tired, There is my food ready to eat. I never, ever had a Slow cooker catch fire or short out on me. Not one.

I am going to make some gravy from that. I use it at least once a month, when I Really want to slow cook something.

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.

[CnD] Suggestion About Titles Of Recipes
I don't mean to criticize anyone and I want you all to know I am very appreciative of all the recipes everyone shares in here. And Yes, I can take the title from the subject and paste it above the recipe. But if possible, could you please write the title right above the recipe? Maybe some people may have a more difficult time doing this extra step. Just saying, it just looks a little strange opening a recipe to copy it, and it starts with ingredients and directions with no title above it. Thank you so much in advance, and if I am inappropriate in mentioning this, Helen and Marilyn, you know how to deal with me, (smile).

Re: [CnD] Convenient Slow Cooker Lasagna
A crockpot is a slow cooker, kind of like a Kleenex is a tissue or a Band-Aid is a bandage. A Crockpot is made by Rival so they just came up with the term Slow Cooker to describe the thing so if you have one by Hamilton Beach, for example, you are not using another company's name. I think most people call them all a crockpot.
