    Recipe Storage Conundrum

    Knead you. I just bought master cook 11 for my pc so I could export my recipes so I could export the to mx2 and then load them in paprika which is my favorite recipe app on my iPad. So far so good. Why the choice of recipe software on the computer is horrid I ha e no idea, but I do like having...

    What is the best rice cooker?

    Sounds good either way. Don't forget some petite peas, minced parsley and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice. Add all three towards the end of cooking to keep them fresh. Robert

    What is the best rice cooker?

    There are few small appliances that I have to have and those that are must haves I tend to spend a good amount on them for quality. For example Vita-Mix for my blender/food processor/grain mill/ice cream maker. I have a revile counter top oven $300 but I use it more than my big oven. I spent...

    Container Gardening with Straw Bales?

    The tanks I bought have a drain hole in the side at the bottom. I just leave the plug out. This allows enough drainage,but slow enough that the soil doesn't dry out too fast. Make sure an fill with a high quality soil mix. I also have used these fir potatoes. But instead of soil in use straw...

    ISO recommendations for a good blender

    It is something that you save up for. It is an investment in something not not only blends but does a lot more and something you will be able to pass down. I got mine from my mom and she bought her's in 1941. Rober

    What is the best rice cooker?

    Also Americas Test Kitchen has a very good no stir risotto recipe. Stirring risotto I think is Harper upon to keep it a gourmet restaurant thing. Arborio rice is going to release it's starch no matter what other wise sushi rice wouldn't be sticky without having to do something to it besides cook it.

    What is the best rice cooker?

    The Outdoor Chef, As was said, you need to add a little more water. Rice cookers cook to aldentay(sp?), which I don't. Care for either so I add an extra 1/4 cup water or broth when I cook rice. This would be for 1 cup raw rice, 1-1/4 cup water and 1 tsp. salt. That would be the 1 cup liquid...

    Commercial pasta machines

    My I ask what type, extruded, roller type? What do you plan to use the pasta for? Myself I have not seen a single extruded that worked well. Now the sheet ones I like and use a lot and can make a lot of different things with it. If you are looking at the sheet type you need to decide what...

    Container Gardening with Straw Bales?

    My mom lives with a me. She is 68, nearly blind and she goes to dialysis 5 days a week and has done so for the last 5 years. So when it was time to take out my old redwood raised boxes, I wanted something tall enough that she could work with so as not to have to bend over to use. So I got cattle...

    The outdoor chef, What problems have you had? Like bacon, the best non-rice cooker way of cooking it is in the oven. Robert

    What is the best rice cooker?

    I have owned high end Panasonic/national, Sanyo and Zojirushi. All worked great, but the zojirushi has been my favorite. However unless you make rice at least once a week I would not spend a couple of hundred for one. The cheaper less fancy models will do just fine. I would spend $70 to $100 on...

    Panasonic Bread Maker

    If you are using the same recipes and the same brand ingredients and this is happening all of a sudden, the the chances are good it is time for a new drive belt, this belt goes from the motor to the pan and is what makes the kneading paddle turn. Overtime the age and stretch causing slippage...

    Anyone heard of the Ninja?

    I tried one a few months ago and was't impressed. I like whole food juicing, which means you use the whole fruit, steams, skin, pits and all. To get it smooth and liquid I have only found one thing that will do it and that is the vita-mix. My first one was a hand-me-down from my mother who...
