I have some magnetic spice tins that I've been using for loose leaf tea. I got more to use them for spices. I like them but I read that they can get dirty under the plastic lids so I popped the lids out to clean and dry everything. How do I get the lids to go back into the tins securely?

I attempted to make this banana bread from this link but the change I made was what I learned from an America's Test Kitchen episode on banana bread. I used 5 bananas instead of 3 and I microwaved the bananas to soften them and make a banana liquid to add to the bread. My bread never finished...

I've seen "Quick Fix Meals" and what I like about it and the Food Network website about it is that Robin Miller's, shows how to do the recipes, how to prep for the other recipes on following days, and what order to do the recipes or parts of the recipes. Likewise the website on the show...

Does the Fast Food My Way book contain the same recipes as the ones you see on the TV show? I want to buy it if so. I can find many of his "More Fast Food My Way" recipes online but not from the original series so I want the book as a resource! :chef:

Hello, I made falafels although the question I have has to do with making falafels, meatballs, and patties in general. How do you know when the texture of the meatball is right? When you have enough bread crumbs in the mixture? My falafels came out OK because I baked them. I think if I had...

It seems every time I attempt to cook eggplant, I under cook it. I think that it looks done but it is not. Last time I cooked eggplant, I roasted it in small cubes, and it seemed to take forever to be done. When it was finally finished it was shriveled, dried, and no very good on the outside but...

I like to use frozen fruit to add to my oatmeal and I've had great success with frozen mango and frozen strawberries (the kind that are packed into the container, not the kind where the whole strawberry was frozen). But I did not have success with frozen blueberries. Every time I thawed them...

Hello, We've made latkes from scratch and would like to make hash browns also. My BF was complaining about having to remove the excess moisture from grated potatoes. It is a pain. We discussed one possible alternative: using a potato ricer with a cheesecloth. Then I decided to come on here...

We have a new food dehydrator. Can we dehydrate avocados? I'm not finding a lot of recipes on avocados. Thanks for any help in advance.

I made some Amish Friendship Bread a few times. Here is the general recipe for those who are not familiar with it. This is part of the recipe for when preparing the yeast mixture to bake: Add to the mixture: 1 cup oil (or 1/2 cup oil and 1/2 cup applesauce) 1/2 cup milk 3 eggs 1 tsp...

Actually, the bread I am referring to is Amish Friendship Bread (which I think has nothing to do with the Amish). I made a couple batches and was wondering about making a lower fat and cholesterol version of bread by substituting milk for Rice Dream and whole eggs for egg whites. Is this...

Hi, We bought a digital probe thermometer with an alarm by Acu-Rite the other day at Walmart for around $10 and we tested it tonight on a turkey tenderloin. The instructions on the tenderloin were to cook it to 165 degrees at 325 degrees in the oven. The probe seemed to read 165 degrees way...

Hi, I want to cancel one of my credit cards but I've read about the laborious process it takes to cancel a card and thus I am reluctant to go through the process. My mother then informed me that if I just did not use that particular card then it would be canceled by the card company after a...

Hi, I tried to flavor some plain yogurt with sugar and with frozen strawberries that contain sugar but the yogurt still tasted sour. What do you suggest to make some yogurt that is not so sugary as what you find at the store but might actually taste good? Jamie

Hi, I am trying to get in the habit of making food from scratch as much as possible. I see a lot of recipes that require stewed canned tomatoes. How many fresh tomatoes could I use in place of a can of stewed tomatoes that is, for example, 10.5 ounces? Thanks! Jamie

Hi, Here is a similar question to my first question. I would like to make chili made from dried beans in the slow cooker so I can avoid salty canned beans. I've found a few recipes online on how to cook dried beans in the slow cooker but not many on how to make chili from dried beans in the...

Hello, I am new here and this is my first post so forgive me if perhaps this was asked before... I like making my own spaghetti sauce completly from scratch with whole tomatoes but it takes a while to break the tomatoes down in a pan on the stove. Is there a method for making spaghetti sauce...
