When cooking oatmeal, why does the recipe ask for salt?

Does adding salt change the texture or is it just for taste?When cooking oatmeal, why does the recipe ask for salt?
Texture no different.


Definitely taste!!





I forgot it one time and it just didn't taste the same. And you can't add it in after it's already cooked.





Jeez Louise... what's with the thumbs down bandit?? C'mon give me mine too!When cooking oatmeal, why does the recipe ask for salt?
sont use salt in it. It will taste gross. Use sugar or honey. Yum. Then top off your oatmeal with sliced bananas and granola. Or try a sliced peach with blueberrries. YumEEEE! My five yr old likes that alot.
I think they're owned by a salt company... I never put salt in mine and it turns out great.
Because it tastes like wallpaper paste without it. Even sweets (cookies, cakes) contain salt. Things taste flat without it.
Taste. Oatmeal is so plain and most people want added flavor. Salt balances out all of the lovely brown sugar I put in mine.
It does something to the boiling point. I dont put it in.
I have tried both ways, and preferred a pinch of salt, as it improved the flavour, but of course it is a matter of individual taste.
Salt brings out the flavor.
Salt is unnecessary to cook oatmeal and can affect the texture (make it coarse). If you like the salt taste, season after cooking.
I think it's supposed to be for favor.
I think it has something to do with how fast the oatmeal heats. Don't add it.
salt tends to enhance flavors .....and foods can taste flat without it....
This may be hard to believe, but the reason you put salt in is to enhance the flavor of the sugar or sweetener you add to oatmeal. Try two bowls, one without salt, one with. You'll find that it takes a lot more sugar on the unsalted oatmeal to get the same level of sweetness as the salted oatmeal.
Don't even bother with it. I never use it, in fact I think it just makes the oatmeal taste a little salty which is absolutely disgusting. People try to say it brings out the flavor, but personally I just think oatmeal is oatmeal, the taste by itself isn't very good on its own so why would you wanna bring it out even more? Most people end up adding sugar and a whole bunch of other flavoring to it anyway.
well I think salt brings out the flavor......
flavor and like the person above said raises the boiling point.
salt enhances and brings out the flavor of everything. It is just for the taste.
you should salt everything.....salt enhances flavor....brings out more of the natural flavors
salt can sometimes enhance taste, but i almost never use it when i make oatmeal...and it doesnt taste or look different
everything asks for salt.

What is the easiest and best tasting comfort food recipe you have ever cooked?

I am looking for some heart warming dinner recipes for winter and I am just beginning to cook any suggestions?What is the easiest and best tasting comfort food recipe you have ever cooked?
My children say it is my Potato Soup that I make for them when they don't feel well...and they are all grown and still want Momma to make it for them...








Now if you are talking seasonal 'comfort' food then here are some suggestions:


Stews


Chowders


Chili


Red beans and Rice


Pot Roast with roasted potatoes and carrots


Chicken and dumplings


Chicken and dressingWhat is the easiest and best tasting comfort food recipe you have ever cooked?
One of my winter standards is bacon-roasted squash - it's sweet and fatty and absolutely delicious. You can check out the recipe here: http://www.debonairmag.com/recipe_-_baco鈥?/a>





All you need is a butternut squash and some bacon - you just cut the squash in two, lay the bacon on and roast it in a 400 degree oven until it's tender. Sometimes it's a good idea to smear the bacon fat on any exposed pieces of the squash so it doesn't dry out - but the fat should just melt into the squash and make it taste smokey and richer than ever!





You can slice it up and use it in a green salad with some toasted walnuts or pecans, or what I usually do with the leftovers is throw it all into a pot with some vegetable stock and puree it into soup. Then, I crumble the cooked bacon in and crack lots of fresh pepper on top.





So easy to do, super cheap, and simple to adapt into lots of different recipes - this one is a winner for sure.
Swiss steak w/mashed potatoes %26amp; gravy is great for winter and easy. Just look up the recipe on the internet.
Macaroni and cheese with baked sweet potato. Altho I made swiss steak last week as well. Hadn't made it in ages and boy was it good.

Chicken and Dumplings. This is the BEST recipe I've ever eaten!





1 whole boneless chicken


2 quarts water


3 tablespoons chicken bouillon, soup base (or six boullion cubes)


1/8 teaspoon pepper


3 cups self-rising flour





*Usea large pot with a heavy lid.


Place chicken, water, boullion, and pepper together in pot.


Cook, covered for 1 hour.


(After cooking, I let contents remain in covered pot for about an hour to cool).


As soon as chicken is done cooking, remove 1 cup of cooking liquid from pan and allow to cool so that it is about room temp.


In a bowl mix self-rising flour and the 1 cup cooled broth.


You may need to add a little more flour if mixture is too stickey.


On a floured surface, roll out dough to 1/4 inch thickness (I divide dough into 1/3's to roll out, it's easier to do smaller amount) Cut rolled dough into 1 inch strips, then cut strips into 3 inch pieces.


Remove chicken from pot.


Heat broth in pot to a boil.


Drop dumplings into boiling broth! Lower heat so they are just simmering. Cook for 20 minutes and DO NOT open lid to peak!!!


While dumplings are cooking, debone chicken into bite size pieces.


After dumplings have cooked for 20 minutes, add chicken back to pot. Simmer for 5-10 minutes


and serve.
strawberry crumble
Soup to start with, I love tomato and basil, simple but warming and tasty.


Shephards pie too. Absolutely number one comfort food.

Use a pie pan and put the first shell in bottom, add the mix of the soup, veggies and then put on top crust. Poke a couple of holes in it. Cook on 425 for 30 minutes! So freakin good! I love makin on sundays when all my family is at home. I serve with salad.

Does anyone have the recipe for authentic western wild burgers from the Marlboro Cook Like A Man Cookbook?

10 oz ground buffalo, divided into two patties


4 large romaine lettuce leaves, ribs removed


2 fried eggs


1/3 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese


2 slices grilled red onion


Ketchup


Dijon mustard Follow the ';Best Burger Guidelines'; below for the best way to cook the buffalo.


Lay two romaine leaves together so they overlap slightly, and place a patty in the center.


Top with a fried egg, cheese, onion, and condiments, and fold the lettuce over the burger as if making a burrito.


_Best Burger Guidelines_


Have your butcher grind it fresh and make sure that they use the medium grind so that you get a juicy and moist burger.


Take the meat out of the fridge an hour before cooking. Bringing it closer to room temperature will help the burger to cook more evenly. Rub it with olive oil, salt, and pepper.


Use high heat when you cook it - If you don't hear the sizzle when it hits the grill, it's just not hot enough. Be sure you cook it for 3 to 4 minutes on each side and (if you must) only add cheese at the end.


Be sure to let it rest 3 to 4 minutes before eating so the juices redistribute themselves through the meat.

  • Are there any simple recipes for cooking navy beans?

    A friend gave me a bunch of dry navy beans, and I don't really know how to cook them. I was hoping to find a recipe that allows me to simply put them in a slow cooker and cook for a long, long time without having to attend to it at all. Is this possible, or do I always have to do multiple steps like boiling them first before putting them in the slow cooker. I'm not home a lot, so these long, drawn out cooking times are somewhat prohibitive. Any suggestions? Are there any simple recipes for cooking navy beans?
    You can't skip the water step in the beginning because the bean being dried must rehydrate before it will cook. if you skip the first step your beans will not get tender


    what I do is soak with the long method, put them (1lb beans) in cold water in a very large bowl cover with a clean towel and leave in sink right before bed next morning I rinse and put in crock pot with 1 lb ham diced or cooked bacon crushed 1 med onion diced 2 med carrots cut roughly 2 med russet potato skin on cut roughly fill with water to 1 inch from top put on high then get ready to go to work (30 min) turn to low and cook all day


    when you get home check for tenderness if not there turn to high and bake boxed corn bread muffinAre there any simple recipes for cooking navy beans?
    NAVY BEAN SOUP





    1 lb. navy beans, cook the usual way until tender





    Meanwhile: Put about 2 tablespoons olive oil or cooking oil in a saucepan and add:





    1 c. finely chopped onion


    1 c. finely chopped celery


    4 to 6 med. sized carrots, finely diced


    1 can tomato paste (small)





    Cook until vegetables are tender, adding a little water if needed. Mix the vegetables with the cooked beans. You may puree the beans and other vegetables in the blender or processor if desired.


    Make the soup as thick or as thin as you desire by adding more water for a thinner soup. This is good ';as is'; BUT I add one or two dried peppers to my navy beans for a little added ';zip'; if I am or am not using them for soup.





    OR





    NAVY BEANS AND SMOKED TURKEY





    2 lb. smoked turkey


    2 c. dried navy beans


    1 sm. onion


    Salt and pepper





    Place meat in large saucepan. Cover with water. Simmer until meat is tender. Remove meat from broth. Add navy beans, whole onion, salt and pepper. Simmer until beans are tender. Add additional water as needed.


    Remove meat from bones. Stir into beans. Simmer on low heat until beans mash easily with fork and broth has thickened. 6 servings





    OR





    SMOKED SAUSAGE WITH NAVY BEANS





    Brown sausage in small chunks (I use smoked turkey sausage). Add:





    Navy beans (1 qt. Northern pre-cooked)


    Onions, chopped


    Green peppers, chopped (optional)


    1 lg. can tomatoes, (1 qt.)


    Lots of basil - approximately 2 tsp.





    Heat through and enjoy. Sometimes I add rice or kidney beans, too

    Do you have a good recipe for pork loin cooked in a crockpot.?

    thank you.Do you have a good recipe for pork loin cooked in a crockpot.?
    Do not add a lot of liquid and it will be greasy and the whole meal will taste terrible. Set it on something to keep it above the grease.Do you have a good recipe for pork loin cooked in a crockpot.?
    This is a fav in my house





    :


    1 boneless rolled pork loin roast


    1 can (16-oz.) jellied or whole berry cranberry sauce


    1/2 cup granulated sugar


    1/4 cup cranberry juice


    1 teaspoon dry mustard


    1/4 teaspoon ground cloves


    2 tablespoons cornstarch


    2 tablespoons cold water


    salt


    Preparation:


    Place pork loin roast in slow cooker. In a medium bowl, mash cranberry sauce; stir in sugar, cranberry juice, mustard, and cloves. Pour over roast. Cover crockpot and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours, or until pork roast is tender. Pork should register about 155 to 160掳 when done. Remove pork roast and keep warm.


    Skim fat from juices; measure 2 cups -- add water if necessary -- and pour into a saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium high heat.


    Combine the cornstarch and cold water until smooth; stir into gravy. Continue to cook, stirring, until thickened. Season with salt and serve with sliced pork roast.


    Delicious with rice, or serve with seasoned stuffing and potatoes.
    Not a formal recipe, but I just mix up S%26amp;P, garlic and onion powders, a little dry ground ginger and rub all that all over it. Then I slice an onion, p0ut half on bottom, top w/ loin, put half onion on top. Add 陆 cup of water to bottom of crockpot and let 'er rip for 4-5 hours on high, or 6-8 hours on low. I find the low gives a tenderer product.
    not for a crockpot per se , but a guaranteed winner in my house. Set your oven to 500, take a pork loin and stud it with garlic all over, and rub on oil and balsamic vinegar, and let go for 20 minutes. It comes out great.
    cover with stock, cook until almost done, add in potatoes, carrots, onions, salt pepper to taste. Yum





    Or





    Cover with your favorite Spaghetti sauce, (I prefer Chunky Garadenstyle Ragu) Mushrooms, onions, greenpeppers and cook until done.

    TANDOORI CHICKEN SANDWICHES


    In India, chicken is one of the most popular foods cooked in the


    tandoor, the ubiquitous clay oven. The secret to the bird's


    distinctive taste and tender texture is a yogurt marinade enhanced


    with spices. Here we pour one over chicken breasts, which are cooked


    on a grill. The chicken is served on toasted bread spread with a


    mayonnaise spiked with mint, cilantro and chili, flavors common in


    Indian relishes. Try to find Indian beer such as Taj Mahal or


    Kingfisher to go along with the meal. Offer fresh mangoes for


    dessert.





    Sandwiches


    6 skinless boneless chicken breast halves


    2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice


    1 cup plain yogurt


    2 tablespoons chopped fresh ginger


    2 garlic cloves, chopped


    1/2 teaspoon ground cumin


    1/2 teaspoon ground coriander


    1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper


    1/4 teaspoon turmeric


    12 slices sourdough bread








    Indian mayonnaise


    1 cup packed fresh mint leaves


    1 cup packed fresh cilantro leaves


    1 jalapeño chili, seeded, minced


    3 tablespoons chopped onion


    2 teaspoons cider vinegar


    1/2 cup mayonnaise





    For Sandwiches:


    Arrange boneless chicken breasts in single layer in large glass


    baking dish. Sprinkle with fresh lemon juice: season with salt. Mix


    plain yogurt, chopped fresh ginger, chopped garlic, ground cumin,


    ground coriander, cayenne pepper and turmeric in medium bowl. Pour


    yogurt marinade over chicken breasts and turn to coat. Cover chicken


    and refrigerate 3 to 8 hours.





    Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat) or preheat broiler. Remove


    chicken breasts from marinade (do not wipe clean). Grill or broil


    chicken until just cooked through, about 5 minutes per side. Cool


    slightly. (Chicken can be prepared up to 2 hours ahead. Cover and let


    stand at room temperature.)





    Lightly toast (or grill) sourdough bread. Spread 1 side of each piece


    of bread generously with Indian Spiced Mayonnaise. Slice chicken


    breasts diagonally. Place slices of 1 breast atop each of 6 sourdough


    bread slices. Top with remaining bread slices. Cut chicken sandwiches


    in half. Serve sandwiches warm or at room temperature.





    For Mayonnaise:


    Combine 1 cup mint leaves, 1 cup cilantro leaves, minced jalapeño


    chili and chopped onion in work bowl of processor. Process until very


    finely chopped. Mix in cider vinegar. Add mayonnaise and process just


    until combined. Season mayonnaise to taste with salt and pepper.


    (Mayonnaise can be prepared 3 days ahead. Cover tightly and


    refrigerate.) Makes about 1 scant cup.

    You might get many recipes on different cooking sites but nevertheless here's one from me....





    Ingredients


    1 (800 gms) of chicken


    1 tspn of kashmiri red chilli powder


    1 tblspn of lemon juice


    Salt to taste





    For Marination


    200 gms of yogurt


    1 tspn of kashmiri red chilli powder


    Salt to taste


    2 tblspns of ginger paste


    2 tblspns of garlic paste


    2 tblspns of lemon juice


    ½ tspn of garam masala powder


    2 tblspns of mustard oil





    For basting of butter


    ½ tspn of chaat masala





    For garnishing


    Onion rings and lemon wedges





    Recipe


    Skin, wash and clean the chicken. Make incisions with a sharp knife on breast and leg pieces.





    Apply a mixture of kashmiri red chilli powder, lemon juice and salt to the chicken and keep it aside for half an hour.





    Remove whey of yogurt by hanging it in a muslin cloth for fifteen to twenty minutes. Mix Kashmiri red chilli powder, salt, ginger-garlic paste, lemon juice, garam masala powder and mustard oil to the yogurt.





    Apply this marinade onto the chicken pieces and refrigerate for three to four hours.





    Put the chicken onto the skewers and cook in a moderately hot tandoor or a pre-heated oven (200 degrees Celsius) for ten to twelve minutes or until almost done. Baste it with butter and cook for another four minutes.





    Sprinkle chaat masala powder and serve with four onion rings and lemon wedges.





    Special tip from me - To make Chicken tikka, use boneless chicken pieces cut into 1 ½” cubes and proceed same as Tandoori chicken.
    You need a tandoor (a very hot cylindrical clay oven) to cook authentic tandoori chicken, but here's a recipe for a cheat version!





    Ingredients


    1.25kg/2½lb chicken pieces (legs and/or breasts) skinned


    1 tsp salt


    3 tbsp lemon juice


    For the marinade:


    450ml/¾pt plain yoghurt


    ½ onion, coarsely chopped


    1 garlic clove, chopped


    2.5cm/1in piece fresh root ginger, chopped


    1-2 hot green chillies, roughly sliced


    2 tsp garam masala


    lime or lemon wedges, to serve





    Method


    1. Cut each chicken leg into two pieces and each breast into four pieces. Make two deep slits crossways on the meaty parts of each leg and breast piece. The slits should not start at an edge and should be deep enough to reach the bone. Spread the chicken pieces out on two large platters. Sprinkle one side with half the salt and half the lemon juice and rub them in. Turn the pieces over and repeat on the second side. Set aside for 20 minutes.


    2. Meanwhile, make the marinade: combine the yoghurt, onion, garlic, ginger, chillies and garam masala in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. Strain the paste through a coarse sieve into a large bowl, pushing through as much liquid as you can.


    3. Put the chicken and all its accumulated juices into the bowl with the marinade. Rub the marinade into the slits in the meat, then cover and refrigerate for 8-24 hours. Preheat the oven to its maximum temperature and set a shelf in the top third of the oven where it is hottest. Remove the chicken pieces from the marinade and spread them out in a single layer on a large, shallow, baking tray. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until cooked through. Lift the chicken pieces out of their juices and serve with lemon or lime wedges.

    What's a good way to change the recipe in my rice cooking?

    I don't really like plain white rice, so I usually cook rice with corn, green peas, or green beans. Anyone has another way of cooking rice?





    Thanks.What's a good way to change the recipe in my rice cooking?
    try making fried rice out of your plain white rice. you could add almost anything in fried rice, meat, sausages, veggies.etc.What's a good way to change the recipe in my rice cooking?
    Try a different type of white rice. I use Basmati rice. It has a different flavor than plain white rice.





    Or try Cilantro Rice





    6 cups just cooked, hot rice


    1 bunch fresh cilantro


    2-3 cloves garlic


    1/2 sweet yellow onion (like Maui, Vidalia or Walla Walla)


    salt and fresh ground pepper to taste





    While rice is cooking, prepare the rest of the ingredients as follows: remove stems from cilantro, roughly chop then put into a food processor with garlic and onion. Process until everything is finely chopped.





    When rice is cooked and still very hot, combine with cilantro mixture, salt and pepper to taste. At this point you can let sit covered for 5-10 minutes to blend flavors then serve, or bake at 350 degrees for 20 -25 minutes and then serve. Either way is good. The rice takes on a greenish hue that looks pretty. This dish goes well with Mexican dishes as a substitute for Spanish Rice.
    i am japanese. i like plain white rice. tastes great!


    it took me a few years to appreciate that taste, though.


    have you ever tried japanese rice made in California?


    that is one of the best rice in the world.
    Try putting salsa in it,it tastes great.You can eat it with beans and enchiladas.
    i cook mine in alot of water with chicken bouillon, when done drain. cook peas (drain) with some butter, salt, pepper, then pour over rice. also try making mexican or puerto rican rice, good.
    Use flavourings,such as stock cubes or spices. There is actualy a seasoning you can buy called ';pilau rice seasoning'; for indian dishes and i am sure there are alternatives for other cuisines.

    How do I adjust the cooking time for a recipe when using a convection oven instead of a traditional oven?

    Aconvection oven will cook/bake at a faster pace. Try knocking the time down by about 25%.How do I adjust the cooking time for a recipe when using a convection oven instead of a traditional oven?
    This really depends on your oven, but start out by reducing the temperatur by 25 degrees and decrease the cooking time. It does take some getting used to, but I wouldn't trade mine for the world!!





    Although, I must say I did burn alot of things in the beginning, so don't feel bad if that happens to you!! LOL





    Good Luck!


    SheriHow do I adjust the cooking time for a recipe when using a convection oven instead of a traditional oven?

    Ingredients








    * parsley 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil


    * 4 slices pancetta or thick-cut bacon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces


    * 5 large eggs, at room temperature


    * 2 tablespoons heavy cream, at room temperature


    * 1 pound spaghetti


    * 1/2 cup freshly grated Pecorino Romano cheese, plus extra for serving


    * Freshly ground black pepper


    * Finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley (optional)





    Steps








    1. Heat the oil in a large skillet. Add the pancetta or bacon and cook, stirring, until golden and crisp. Remove to a double layer of paper towels to drain.





    2. Meanwhile, whisk the eggs and cream in a medium bowl until well blended. Set aside. Set a large colander in a serving bowl in the sink.





    3. Cook the spaghetti in a large pot of boiling salted water until al dente, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain the pasta in the colander and immediately lift it out of the bowl to drain off almost, but not quite, all the water.





    4. Dump out the water from the warm bowl; blot dry. Immediately add the spaghetti, the egg mixture and cheese and toss vigorously so that the eggs cook through in the heat from the steaming pasta but do not scramble. Add a liberal grinding of pepper and top with the reserved pancetta or bacon and parsley, if desired. Serve at once with more cheese.

    CHICKEN CARBONARA


    2 teaspoons olive oil


    4 ounces thinly sliced pancetta, chopped (can use bacon)


    2 teaspoons minced garlic


    2 1/2 cups whipping cream


    1 cup freshly grated Parmesan


    8 large egg yolks


    1/4 cup chopped fresh basil leaves


    1/4 cup chopped fresh Italian parsley leaves


    Salt


    1 pound spaghetti


    4 cups coarsely shredded chicken (from 1 roasted chicken)


    Freshly ground black pepper


    1 tablespoon finely grated lemon peel





    Heat the oil in a heavy large frying pan over medium heat. Add the pancetta and garlic and saute until it is brown and crisp, about 8 minutes. Cool slightly.





    In a large bowl, whisk together the cream, cheese, yolks, basil, and parsley to blend.





    Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the spaghetti and cook until it is just tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes. Drain.





    Add the chicken to the pan with the pancetta or bacon and stir to combine. Next, add the spaghetti and the cream mixture and toss over medium-low heat until the chicken is heated through and the sauce coats the spaghetti thickly, about 4 minutes (do not boil or you might end up scrambling the eggs).





    Season the pasta, to taste, with pepper and salt if needed (the pancetta will likely add all the salt you need). Transfer the pasta to a large wide serving bowl. Garnish with lemon zest. Serve.

    Penne a la Carbonara


    Recipe courtesy Giada De Laurentiis





    1 pound pancetta, diced into 1-inch cubes


    Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper


    6 eggs, at room temperature


    1/2 cup heavy cream, at room temperature


    1 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan


    1 pound dried penne


    4 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves





    Heat a large saute pan, until hot. Add pancetta and saute until golden brown and crispy, about 5 minutes. Season with black pepper and remove pan from heat.


    In a medium bowl, beat the eggs and cream. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in Parmesan, reserving 2 tablespoons for garnish.





    In a large pot, boil 6 quarts of salted boiling water. Add pasta and cook until al dente, about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain pasta in a colander. Do not rinse with water; you want to retain the pasta's natural starches so that the sauce will stick. While the pasta is still hot, return it back to the pot. Add the browned pancetta and mix well. Add the cream mixture and coat the pasta completely. It's important to work quickly while the pasta is still warm so that the cream mixture will cook, but not curdle. Add remaining Parmesan and chopped parsley.

    Bacon and Egg Coal Miner's Pasta: Rigatoni alla Carbonara


    Recipe courtesy Rachael Ray





    Salt


    1 pound rigatoni


    1/3 pound pancetta, cured Italian meat, available at deli counter, chopped


    Drizzle extra-virgin olive oil, plus 2 tablespoons (2 turns around the pan)


    4 or 5 cloves garlic, finely chopped


    1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, a few pinches, crushed in palm of hand


    1/2 cup dry white wine or chicken stock


    2 large egg yolks


    3 tablespoons (about 2 palmfuls) grated Parmigiano Reggiano, plus more, for sprinkling


    A handful fresh parsley leaves, finely chopped


    A few grinds black pepper





    Place a large pot of water on the stove to boil. When water is rolling, add salt and pasta and cook to al dente, about 8 minutes, reserving 1/4 cup pasta water.


    While pasta cooks, heat large skillet over moderate heat. Saute pancetta in a drizzle of oil until it browns, 3 to 5 minutes. Add extra-virgin olive oil, garlic, and crushed pepper flake. Saute garlic 2 minutes. Add wine or stock to the pan and reduce liquid by half, 2 minutes.





    Beat together egg yolks, cheese, and while whisking vigorously, stir in a ladle of the boiling pasta water. Beat in parsley and pepper and set aside.





    Drain pasta. Add pasta to pan with sauce. Toss pasta with pancetta, then add egg mixture and toss 1 minute, then remove from heat. Continue to toss until sauce is absorbed by and thickly coating the pasta. Adjust seasonings with salt and pepper and serve with extra cheese, for passing.
    PASTA CARBONARA





    1/4 lb. bacon


    1 stick (1/4 lb.) butter


    1 c. milk


    2 tbsp. wine vinegar


    1 lb. pasta (fettuccine or linguine)


    2 eggs, whipped


    1/2 c. fresh Parmesan





    Cut the bacon into little pieces and cook in butter until clear. Heat milk in a small saucepan, and add the bacon and butter, add the vinegar; this will turn the milk to cheese. Simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the sauce cooks smooth.


    Boil the pasta al dente. Drain and return to pan. Immediately throw in the eggs, the bacon sauce and cheese. Toss and serve. Add salt and pepper to taste

    Military wife needs recipes for cooking without an oven?

    My husband is stationed in Korea and being the good wife that I am, I went with him. Our apartment does not have an oven. It has two gas burners and a microwave. I have not been able to find a korean plug-in crockpot so that is out of the question for now. (The voltage is different here). I am in desperate need of microwave recipes- i have done the chicken enchiladas, chicken and rice, and stuffed peppers. My husband is a picky eater- meat and potato man (he does eat corn, seafood, greenbeans and rice). Korea does not have many of those options so I have to figure out what to cook for him in the evenings when he is home! Help!!!Military wife needs recipes for cooking without an oven?
    Try these Pizza Burgers. I think this recipe could also be changed depending on what you have on hand, but the main idea is there.

    I bet if you just googled ';microwave recipes'; you would get a ton of things. That's what I would do.
    If you have a patio or some place outside to cook you could use a grill, in place of an oven, or I would say you could cook under ground, yet it does not sound like you have a place to dig a hole and line it with hot rocks. but a grill would work.
    stir fry


    pasta %26amp; sauce


    pancakes/ french toast


    omlettes


    grilled chicken/ fish


    saute sausage/ scallops/ shrimp


    chili


    stew


    soup
    you'd be surprised at how many things you can make without an oven. Marinate thinly sliced chicken breast over night (I prefer balsamic vinagrette marinade), pan sear it (usually just takes a few minutes on either side, depending on how thick the meat is). You could make mashed potatoes to go with it, a pot of green bean, or practically any canned veggies. You could also make mac and cheese, or boil a pot of noodles and serve the chicken over pasta.





    As everyone else has said, stir-fry would be great. I also love making skillet fajitas. If you're worried you want make them right, you can by the frozen prepared fajitas and all you'd have to do is toss them around in the pan. Fried rice, burgers......my boyfriend even made pizza on a skillet once (using it as a grill).





    Keep grilling in mind too. It's usually more of the guys forte, but everything tastes amazing on the grill! In the summer, my bf and I make literally just about everything on the grill (even apple cobbler!) You can find all sorts of recipes online, or you can simply by a frozen version and let it warm over the grill.





    There are tons of no-bake desserts you can buy at the grocery store (I think Jell-o makes them?) They're actually really good, and my personal favorite is the peanut butter cup. Anyway, if all else fails, offer to make dinner at your house, or cook at home, put it in portable containers, and just heat the stuff over the skillet once you get to his house. it also wouldn't hurt to invest in a crockpot or a toaster oven (they're only about 20 bucks), and they do everything an oven does

    Good recipe for cooking a whole chicken in the crock pot?

    i want to cook it with potatoes and stuff. anyone with a good recipe. oh and i dont have all day to cook it can i cook it on high if so how many hours? the chicken is 5lbsGood recipe for cooking a whole chicken in the crock pot?
    This can definitely be done, but I recommend DEFINITELY cutting up your potatoes (quarters for small ones, like red potatoes, or slices for larger ones) and maybe even breaking down your chicken into quarters. This will help them both cook faster.





    Here's an idea for a recipe:





    3-5 lb whole chicken


    1/2 c chicken broth (can sub a bit of white wine, if desired)


    2 carrots, sliced


    2 celery stalks with leaves


    3 small potatoes, sliced


    2 onions, sliced


    2 tsp salt


    1 tsp basil


    1/2 tsp black pepper





    1. Put carrots, celery, potatoes, and onions into the bottom of the crock pot. Add chicken (whole or broken down)





    2. Add salt, pepper, and chicken broth. Top with basil.





    3. Cover and cook on low 8 to 10 hours --%26gt; if you cook on high for 4-5 hours, it should be done, but the meat will be less tender.Good recipe for cooking a whole chicken in the crock pot?
    Potatoes take a long time unless you cut them up


    Chicken will cook in 4 or 5 hours
    It best too cookie ur chick in a frige not a crock pot.
    You can season it with some paprika, pepper, salt, summer savory, oregano, some chives,rosemary and some Italian seasoning. Massage it into the chicken, and leave it in the container in the fridge for about 20-25 minutes. Then while its in the fridge chop up your carrots and potatoes into thin slices if you want or however you want to ( I would personally cube the potatoes and slice up the carrots) with some sliced onions and green onions and peppers if you want to. Then place them into the crock pot and put the chicken inside with the water and everything still in it ( that's the base for the gravy. Pop into the oven put it on about 350oC and leave it in there for about an hour or so, check it constantly. Serve it up with some rice.

  • How do you eliminate too much pepper from a recipe that's been cooked?

    A soup was made with a packaged mix and it is too peppery. How can it be correctedHow do you eliminate too much pepper from a recipe that's been cooked?
    IT UP TO YOU HOW MUCH IS TO MUCH.


    CUT THE POTATOHow do you eliminate too much pepper from a recipe that's been cooked?
    I know for too much salt you sprinkle in a bit of sugar, try that for your too much pepper. Add in a little bit at a time and taste before adding more. Also you might try a peeled potato, let it sit in the soup for a while, it is suppose to absorb some of the salt/pepper.
    you really cant, the same with salt, about the only thing you can do is add to the soup, (make more) with out salt or pepper) you could try mixing about 1 cup of water and 2 tablespoond of flour, stir till disolved then add to soup. more if you need. that will dilute it
    There's really not much you can do to get the peppery flavor out. If you add more broth that is unseasoned, it can balance it back a bit. Next time, use a different mix.
    if you add more broth the pepper will be spread out more and you won't taste it as strong.
    Add lemon juice.
    Add some more broth.

    I suppose you can get as complicated as you want, or do things more easily when you consider what you want to be eating. I'm somewhere in between! Here's a thought for a potato lasagne:





    1 quart marinara (homemade or storebought)


    2 large Yukon Gold or White Rose Potatoes


    2 large zuchinni, shredded


    1/2 cup parmesan cheese


    1 onion diced


    2 tsp minced garlic


    1/4 cup olive oil


    2 cups ricotta cheese


    1 egg


    1/2 cup flat leaf parseley


    2 cups shredded Italian Blend


    1/2 cup parmesan





    Scrub potatoes and peel. Slice lengthwise, preferably using a mandolin, into long strips. Place in salted ice water until you use. Mix zuchinni with parmesan cheese. Mix ricotta with egg and parsley. Saute onion and garlic and add to zuchinni mixture. Layer as follows: sauce, potato slices, ricotta, zuchinni, sauce, 1/2 cup shredded cheese, potato slices, ricotta, zuchinni, sauce.....and so on, ending with sauce and cheese. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour or until bubbling and potatos are tender. Let sit for 20 minutes before cutting.
    Buy some all purpose potatoes, not baking potatoes





    Hollow out the potato and fill with some type of ground beef and rice mixture, the inside of the potato put inside the pan with the potatoes that are filled and use your sauce, bake off till the potato is tender, about a hour to 75 minutes @ 350 degrees

    Get a cast iron griddle or skillet. Heat it up quite hot before you put your steaks on and it will give it a smoky flavor similar to grilling outside.
    They have indoor grills now .... I have one and it is the best purchase I ever made.
    Jenny is right- the cast iron gives you the best smokey flavor. But to keep it tender- this is what I do. Heat the cast iron until super hot, on high, at least 5 minutes. Heat your oven to 400 degrees. Have your steaks at room tempurature, and brush with olive oil, sprinkle with fresh cracked pepper. Place in the cast iron for 1 minute per side, and transfer to the oven for 5-7 minutes. Take out, cover pan with foil, and let sit for 5 minutes. Enjoy!

    Anyone know a nice recipe for cooking a steak?

    In a tupperware container add salt, pepper, worchestershire sauce, soy sauce, onion powder, garlic (can find in jar in produce aisle), and mustard wisk together (you can eyeball the measurements and more or less of what you like) poke holes in the meat and marinate at room tempature for about 30 minutes to an hour at the least, if you can marinate longer do so, makes the flavor better. Then just cook on a hot grill. I usually make a little extra marinade and put it in another container to use as basting liquid for grilling do not use the marinade that your meat was resting in it could contaminate your meat. Happy Grilling!Anyone know a nice recipe for cooking a steak?
    I usually make my steaks in a frying pan ( this is how my mom made them). I coat the pan wth pam and then add sliced onions and butter, once the onions start cooking I add some garlic ( I like the kind that is chopped in the jar in the produce sections, usually on teh lower shelves). then I add my steak meat ( that is already seasoned with peper, and lawrys seasoning salt) on top of the onions and garlic. I cover it and let it cook away. I usually uncover it at the very end bacause I am not a big fan of gravy.


    It always turns out great and has good flavor. Good luckAnyone know a nice recipe for cooking a steak?
    Salt, pepper and a really hot grill makes awesome steaks, but that's kinda basic.

    I have got a recipe for cooking the Christmas turkey.?

    It suggested cooking at 20 minutes per kilo ... Then I suddenly thought, would that timing be the same for a boned turkey as well?





    If the turkey with bones weighted say 10 kilos (thus 10 x 20 minute) and only 8 kilos without bones (thus 8 x 20 minutes) would the turkey be under cooked?I have got a recipe for cooking the Christmas turkey.?
    De-boned and stuffed?





    -Edited-


    In general, a de-boned turkey will cook faster than a bone-in bird, so reduce your usual cooking times by a few minutes per kilo. Be sure to baste often.





    You did not mention whether the turkey was stuffed or not, therefore, since we have little time to discuss this further, I suggest (if stuffed) you maintain the normal (bone-in) cooking time, basting frequently and watch the bird closely!





    I hope this helps and Merry, merry Xmas to you and yours.





    God Bless ;)I have got a recipe for cooking the Christmas turkey.?
    i think its 20 mins per pound?


    And add another 20 mins to end of cooking time.


    I also got a boned and stuffed turkey and this is what the butcher recommended.

    No, not at all. Granted I live away from home now at university, but my ma never followed an exact recipe. It was probably because she made the recipe all the time and found something that worked, but I guess it depends on what she was trying to make?
    sometimes and other times no.

    I'm looking for a rice pudding recipe with cooked rice and Cool Whip. It's really easy. Anyone has it?

    I'm not sure if this is it:





    PINEAPPLE RICE





    2 c. rice


    1/2 c. sugar


    Pineapple tidbits


    Lg. carton Cool Whip





    Boil rice. Drain in strainer and run cold water over it so it doesn't stick. Mix in sugar, then pineapple, then Cool Whip. (Fruit cocktail may also be added.)








    Hope you find the right recipe if mines didn't help.I'm looking for a rice pudding recipe with cooked rice and Cool Whip. It's really easy. Anyone has it?
    Cooked rice, Cool Whip and canned crushed pineapple drained is really good. Add some marachino cherries and you have a great dessert.
