How do you go about scalding milk and what is the purpose of doing so? I have a clam chowder recipe that calls for scalded milk.

I have a recipe that I took from the internet. It calls for a McCormicks product that the recipe calls "seasonal". The closest I've found so far is a seasoned salt mixture called "season all". Could these be the same thing? It could be a simple spelling error in the recipe that I located...

I've been told that I'm allowed to post questions about gardening here since it is mildly cooking related (as long as we're talking herbs and veggies) but I'd like to know if anyone knows of a good gardening forum. I have one bookmarked but it is very poor with very little traffic.

I agree that it is an aquired taste. I had to drink it for a while before I got the taste for it. I prefer mine with sugar and lemon. There are, however, many different mixtures with different flavors. I prefer a sweeter mixture with some peppermint thrown in with the others. It is...

A buddy of mine has one and it is outstanding!! I've never cooked with it since it is his but I've eaten the results many time. They work with less charcoal because the ceramics in the grill absorb all the heat while the charcoal is hot and then release that heat over the long cooking time...

I posted this a little over a month ago and got no interest. It lists alot of common terms for french and italian. http://www.discusscooking.com/forums/f26/french-and-italian-food-pronunciation-21208.html

I'll second the mashed potatoes. Mashed potatoes and corn is a hit with my family. Meatloaf sandwiches the next day are also huge with my family. On a slight tangent, you can also make yummy sandwiches out of lasagna served between two pieces of garlic bread.

I have also ordered from Penzey's 7 or 8 times. They sometimes throw in a small jar of something fun to try out too. I've never been disappointed yet.

I'll be cooking a black bean recipe in the crock pot this week. I had a nice recipe but I cannot find it now. I'll be including 1 pound of dry black beans along with. celery onion kielbasa canadian bacon bacon diced tomato How much water would be appropriate something like this in the...

I have not tried the tomato and onion soup but the clam chowder looks to have all the ingredients that I remember.

Sweet Tomato's is a salad bar type restaurant with a seperate section with hot breads, pastas and soups. Their soups are partilarly delicous. They have a wonderful clam chowder, chili and a great tomato chipotle bisque. Has anyone seen any copies of their recipes laying around the web? I'd...

could it be alcohol? Alcohol will burn without getting hot. I once covered my hand in rubbing alcohol and ignited it with no heat whatsoever. perhaps mixing alcohol with the oil...

Hopefully the bolded syllabels will still be bold when I paste this. En Français "In Paris they just simply opened their eyes and stared when we spoke to them in French! We never did succeed in making those idiots understand their own language." -Mark Twain. The Innocents Abroad Given the...

I REALLY like the picnic idea. It is something different, fun and family oriented. Now, to come up with a meal that is both easter friendly and picnic friendly.

What is the difference between a stock on a broth? Being a somewhat lazy cook I often substitute chicken broth for chicken stock and beef broth for beef stock. I'm curious if I'm missing out on any flavors here though.

Bechamel is a mother sauce which means (to my understanding) that many sauces are based on that recipe. I've only recently learned how to make a decent roux and bechamel by making sausage gravy. I think it would be great to have more recipes to practice with but sauce recipes are not usually...

I agree with Auntot. I use Jimmy Dean sausage and there's very little grease to make the roux with. I've been adding a few tablespoons of oil and mixing it in before adding my flour. In my opinion it is also vital to only add a little milk as first. I add about a cup and then stir the roux...

I made this recipe tonight after finding this post a few weeks ago. DELICIOUS!! I don't know much about cream. I used heavy whipping cream and by the time I added the cream I decided to leave out the sour cream. It was already VERY creamy. It was alot cheesier than any tortilla soup I've...

haha, I knew it had to be me. Thanks for the spelling lesson.

I can't believe that there wasn't a single occurance of the word quasadilla on the forums. Must be because its so hard to spell. I'm pretty sure my spelling is correct. What is your favorite recipe/ingredients? A few of my favorites are cheese, chicken, red bell peppers, onions. bacon bits...

What is the effective shelf life of lard under ideal conditions?

I always scramble mine with only eggs. Never knew any other way although I often wondered why they were different in the restaurants. How much milk/water per egg? Do you mix it in while cooking or before?

Please post your favorite recipe for apricot chicken. I have apricot preserves and also a can of apricot halves if needed.

I tried this recipe last night. It was very good but I need to try it a few times to get it down just right. I lime flavor was a bit strong so I want to adjust the recipe with some complimenting flavors. My wife and I don't drink so we don't have any tequila in the house (or anything else)...
