    Swiss Chard Question

    I tried swiss chard for the first time. The kind with the dark green leaves. One batch was boiled the other was stir fried. It had a musty sour kind of taste. Does it normally taste this way or did I just get a bad batch?

    Help With Spaghetti Suace

    I tried to make my own spaghetti sauce. I chopped and blended some tomatoes in the blender and then simmered them for about an hour. Instead of tomato sauce I ended up with what looked like shredded tomato skins. Did I just not cook it long enough?

    Cracked Another Crock

    I just ruined a brand new crock pot. I wish someone would invent a slow cooker that wasn’t extremely sensitive to temperature changes.

    Hot Air Popper

    I have a popcorn question but wasn’t sure which forum it should be under but anyway, I bought a Presto hot air popper. I’m for the most part happy with it except that the popped corn doesn’t have that crispiness that microwave bag popcorn has. Any suggestions?

    Hot Air Popper

    I bought a Presto hot air popper and love the way it works. I’m a little disappointed that the popped corn (Orville Redenbacher recommended by the manufacturer) doesn’t have that fresh crispness that bag microwave popcorn has. Any suggestions?

    ISO Information on Pepper Corns

    The pepper corns I’ve been getting from the supermarket have very little flavor. Can anyone recommend a brand of black pepper that’s like that rich pepper flavor you get in a good restaurant?

    Halogen Toaster Oven Won't Brown

    I recently bought a GE 169104 Quartz/Halogen toaster oven. For some reason I can’t get food to brown. Most foods broiled or baked end up with a pastel tan or beige color instead of the rich golden brown you get from a conventional toaster oven. Increasing the temp or allowing food to cook longer...

    Stir Fried Potatoes Taste Burned Hi: I often dice up peeled potatoes and then stir fry them in a few table spoons of oil. Even though the potatoes are golden brown, they some how end up with a burned taste. Does anybody know what I may be doing wrong?
