Keep a box of real idahoan dried instant potatoes around to fix potato consistency. It can be key to getting a perfect duchess potato if you're working with low-fat chunky leftovers. It's also a good bread additive. 12/5/2011 12:30:21 PM |

okay silly question. recipe calls for broiling flank stank....
if i don't happen to have one, is there another option that will give me a similar result? ] 12/10/2011 3:34:20 PM |
Meg All American 6759 Posts user info edit post |
don't have a broiler or don't have a flank steak? 12/10/2011 3:36:50 PM |
djeternal Bee Hugger 62661 Posts user info edit post |
if you have an oven, you have a broiler
if you lack the flank steak, hit up the grocery store 12/10/2011 3:37:55 PM |

There's an option for "bake" and an option for "broil" on your oven. 12/10/2011 3:39:31 PM |

lol, really?
i meant the broiler in my oven. i think it's the slated thing. oy. i'm simple. i shouldn't be allowed to cook apparently. ] 12/10/2011 3:39:41 PM |
Meg All American 6759 Posts user info edit post |
do you mean broiler pan? you could just use a baking sheet 12/10/2011 3:39:54 PM |
LunaK LOSER :( 23634 Posts user info edit post |
ah okay. thanks Meg.
on another note - guess who's back? 12/10/2011 3:40:47 PM |
djeternal Bee Hugger 62661 Posts user info edit post |
broiling just cooks it from the top instead of the bottom. unless your oven is 50 years old, I can pretty much guarantee it has a broiler
and yeah, if the pan is the issue then just use a cookie sheet and keep an eye on the drippings

have a turkey in the oven right now. rubbed and injected with a thyme, rosemary, garlic, and onion infused white wine sauce, and then painted with a little olive oil. stuff with a sweet onion and a few celery sticks, and covered with bacon on top of the breasts.
my house smells crazy good. 12/10/2011 4:10:29 PM |

how can you honestly leave onions out of any recipe and still call yourself a man? 12/10/2011 4:50:19 PM |
elise mainly potato 13090 Posts user info edit post |
I can't eat onions. They really hurt my insides. Something to do with not being able to digest them properly. Could I chop some onions, put them in cheesecloth and cook with them and then pull them out and it still be decent? I know not everything would be the same, but like soups and chilis and such I think it might work. 12/10/2011 5:03:01 PM |

So I made this last night:

One of the best things I've ever eaten. Highly recommend. 12/11/2011 1:00:14 PM |

Elise, what I'd try to do in that situation is make onion stock, and add that instead of water.
Basically, start with boiling water, adding some salt to help bring out the flavor. Then, quarter 2 medium-to-large onions for every quart of water you use, and add them to the water. From there, boil it until the onions are soft and basically slimey. Discard onions, and boom, onion stock.
Best of luck! I'm allergic to bell peppers, but have learned to live without them, since I never really cared for them. 12/11/2011 4:42:12 PM |

I think it would depend on what in the onions causes the issue. If it's some sort of enzyme or something in the onions, then I would think even cooking and removing them would cause you problems. Honestly I think onions are one of those things that you can be perfectly fine with just leaving them out of recipes. Just add garlic or something in their place.12/11/2011 4:46:08 PM |

Call Williams Sonoma, they may have it in stock. There's also a "Kitchen Store" in Smithfield that you can call. It's a 40 minute drive, but may be worth it if you absolutely need it. 12/22/2011 4:06:40 PM |

I got an ice cream cookbook for Christmas and I can't wait to try some of the recipes. Only problem is I don't have an ice cream maker. I'm guessing the gifter didn't realize that
This is the book I got: http://www.amazon.com/Jenis-Splendid-Ice-Creams-Home/dp/1579654363/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top
Review look promising and some of the flavors sound awesome. 12/23/2011 9:39:27 PM |

Do you have a kitchenaid? There's a really good ice cream attachment. 12/23/2011 10:00:59 PM |
GenghisJohn bonafide 10250 Posts user info edit post |
i cannot vouch for the kitchenaid attachment, as i have never used the ice cream maker. however, the attachments that i have had the misfortune of using made me yearn for the actual piece of hardware, sans mixer.
i got this cuisinart ice cream maker for the gf, and while it was expensive, holy fuck does it do a damn good job. all the folks at RBC tailgates who have had her maple brown sugar candied bacon ice cream can attest to that.
it does seem to be perpetually on sale, i think i paid about 80$ for it a few years ago.
[Edited on December 23, 2011 at 10:29 PM. Reason : or maybe it was an xmas gift then, too. i think i might be giving too many kitchen related gifts :x] 12/23/2011 10:28:32 PM |

I'm having my family over for brunch Christmas Day. I've been furiously planning. I bought everything today and I can't wait to start putting everything together tomorrow.
I'm going to have a french toast casserole (duh), a spinach quiche, a ham and swiss quiche, hashbrown casserole, bacon, tea biscuits w/ sausage or Canadian bacon, citrus salad, mimosas or bloody marys, and a variety of hot drinks.
SQUEE! 12/23/2011 10:28:56 PM |
