    Boston, MA - any local intel?

    Boston, MA - any local intel?

    I've lived in Boston -- like within the city limits -- for 44 years. I'd be happy to offer advice. Andy M lives just north of the city and knows a lot. Let me think on this.

    Should I replace my chipped roasting pan lid?

    I have one of those blue speckled ones but haven’t used it in 30 years…. If the lid chipped I’d still use it. Also if you are roasting something you don’t need a lid. For roasting I use an All Clad stainless roasting pan like the one Sir Loin posted.

    Finally bought a bench scraper

    IMO they are very useful! I have a few and use them a lot. Mostly, I use them for baking but also for dealing with quantities of diced ingredients

    PEI Mussels vs. well, Mussels

    When I was a little girl, my friends and I caught crawdads on Saturday mornings and tried to sell them like a lemonade stand. One crawdad per paper cup. We had few takers. You can buy them fresh in Asian supermarkets around here.

    Can chimney starter damage Weber?

    I always start mine on the grill. It's a grill. It is designed to hold insanely hot coals and flame. Mine was hit by lightning a few years ago and I still use it.

    Blue cheese and pear preserves omelette

    The omelette idea doesn’t work for me. It needs an acid. It works in a salad, though.

    Cooking spray alternatives and how to clean ruined CorningWare?

    Try that Dawn spray stuff. Dawn power something. There are plenty of spray oils in your supermarket that don’t contain lecithin. Look on the shelves above the bottled oils. If he is cognitively impaired it might be better for him to continue using a spray, since he knows how.

    What type of seaweed is this?

    It’s spongy and not crisp? Cause it looks like kombu before it’s cut.

    PEI Mussels vs. well, Mussels

    I could literally harvest mussels in the water right next to our house — clams, too, and crabs. But that’s illegal without a license. That said, I’ve cooked many things but never mussels. I’m just not a huge fan.

    This is an interesting thing…. at least to me as a lawyer.
