I have an 8 oz jar of adobo and I honestly have no idea what kind of dishes I can make with it. What do I do with adobo or should I just throw it out?

outstanding. Your topping sounds delicious. I'm adding those things too. You have my thanks. I'll give this one a try. I don't drink at all so I'm not sure about "gold" tequila. Is that a brand name or a type of tequila? Since I don't drink my options with the tequila will be to either...

Can someone post this recipe? I've seen in mentioned several times but never a recipe for it. Is Barefoot Contessa a person? Sounds like a harlot name.

I've never had this dish before. Will Smith's characters eats his grandmas sweet potato pie in the movie "I Robot". I looked a bit like pumpkin pie. So, what is this dish? What does it taste like? I'll take recipes too if anyone has a good one.

Okay, lard is better than Olive Oil but how about Lard vs. Shortening?

This is a joke about Jack Bauer on 24. You won't get it if you won't watch it I think. Top Thirty Facts If Jack Bauer was in a room with Hitler, Stalin, and Nina Meyers, and he had a gun with 2 bullets, he'd shoot Nina twice. If you wake up in the morning, it's because Jack Bauer spared...

anyone know how to make griddle cakes? My wife had some at IHOP and she really prefers them to regular pancakes. They are firmer and less likely to get soggy in syrup.

I'm starting to guess that this must be a bolivian recipe Mmmm. Choclo means corn in Bolivia as well as Venezuela. Locotos is correct. It is a small hot pepper in Bolivia. Tunta is also correct. It is a special type of potato served only in Peru and Bolivia as far as I know. Here is a long-ish...

Has anyone tried the BigOven recipe software? I did a bit of research on it. The Amazon reviews are positive (6 people rating it perfectly) I downloaded the 30 day trial but I'm still only on my first day of use. Has anyone used it long-term? I'd appreciate any opinions on it. I also...

Too cold to grill? what? that's not even a possibility.

I have some barkeeps friend too. its not always needed but it does make a difference when needed.

All these years I've been hearing how hard it is to cook on stainless cookware and how hard it is to clean. I got an all clad 4qt sauteuse for christmas and it has been an absolute dream to cook on. I have not cooked everything on it yet but I've tried quite a few recipes. Just about...

The most common topic here is cross contamination with knives or cutting boards. I've been thinking about cross contamination with cooking utinsels though. Suppose you use a spatula/tongs to put some raw chicken into your pan. Half way through you use the same tongs to turn the chicken...

thanks for the many comments. I picked up the ingredients for my first try at this. I'm going to stick with the velveeta for my first try. I want something that will melt nicely and be smooth and "saucy". Most other cheeses don't melt well from my experience.

I made this recipe last night. It was very good. The beans were a bit dryish though. I like my black beans with some "sauce". I'll have to try adding some extra water and saucing it up a bit next time.

I saw a yummy "skillet" type meal in the freeze section of the grocery store a few weeks ago that inspired me to attempt something similar. I'm looking for any suggestions or comments on my ideas. I probably won't get it right on the first try but the end result should eventually be very good...

I'm looking for a black bean recipe to serve with white rice. I have fresh (not canned) black beans and a big ham bone with lots of meat on it. I'd prefer something that cooks in the crock pot with a variety of spices. Any suggestions with black beans and ham are welcome though.

There's some great information here so far. What's the best type of utinsel to use with stainless? I currently have all plastic spoons and spatulas.

I read somewhere that you should not use cooking sprays like "pam" on Stainless. Is this correct? Why?

I got a REALLY nice all-clad sauteuse for christmas. I could never afford one on my own. I've found a bit on the site here about stainless. I'd like to gather a comprehensive list of: 1) Cooking with stainless 2) cleaning the stainless 3) anything else that stainless may need Most of us...

what's a good maker of Springform pans? My wife would like a 9" and 10" pan but I don't know which ones to avoid. Price is a factor so we might not want "the best" but knowing which ones to avoid is a bonus.

My wife has a breadmaker with a jam setting but we can't find the manual for it with recipes and Breadman doesn't seem to have a web site of any kind. We've never done this before but we'll probably end up making peach jam. We'd also be interested in making mango, blueberry, apple butter, and...

I'm curious if stainless steel appliances are just a fad like so many of the other "pretty" colors that have made their way into kitchens over the years. I've seen plenty of baby blues, browns, yellow, even brown appliances. Will stainless steel be frowned upon the way those colors are now?

I agree wholeheartedly with Claire. Higher gas prices is really a blessing in disguise which offers SO many potential benefits to all of us. Encourage car buyers to consider gas mileage when purchasing a new car. Encourage home buyers to consider distance to work when buying a home. Encourage...

I welcome higher gas prices. Perhaps some of my fellow americans will sell their gas guzzlers and buy real cars. SUV's have become a status symbol and all that's about to change. Fuel efficient cars are out there. People just never bought them because gas was so cheap. This could also...
