What is the name of the barbecue remnants scraped off the grill? I was told in the past that some people here in the US actually consume it, but I can't recall the name for it.

So I ended up buying salted Kerrygold. It's my first time getting this brand; normally I buy just Breakstone's. I only went with salted because in addition to making Belgian waffles in the next day or so, I also wanted butter to enjoy with my bagel store bagels. However I'd still like to hear...

I've recently started using Carbon's Golden Malted waffle mix. I'm going to the store later to purchase more butter and I wanted advice on whether salted or unsalted is better?

99% of the problem has been solved, thanks to the wealth of advice that you've all provided me. Thank you for that. The considered posting before and after photos, but honestly the before wasn't a pleasant sight. I decided to spare you the carnage. 1% remaining : (1 of 2) There is a single...

Coincidentally I do have dawn dish detergent. Is Palmolive okay? I had to step ooutside to find store that has dish washing gloves. I could pick up a alternative detergent.

Hello everyone. I already feeling MUCH better. I've already begun the process...

I had a friend stay in my apartment for one month and I returned to a filthy kitchen sink, encompassing dirty dishes and flatware. By dirty, I mean covered in food residue. And by the smell I'm sure that bacteria is present. I need to get the situation under control ASAP. What is the best...

Thank you to everyone for your wonderful posts. I really appreciate your time. - Rob

Very silly question I have, but would I purchase the broth? I didn't cook the original turkey; they are left-overs from my family. I have a container of chicken broth in my cupboard.

On low in a microwave? Sorry for the silly question, but I have very little experience cooking. I've lived in Manhattan all my life, but now I'm forced to learn to cook. Thanks for your reply.

I have a slew of carved turkey slices in my refrigerator that I want to heat up to eat, but they are very dry. I had them stored in a zipper zip lock bag, but it didn't trap the moisture or maybe they weren't so moist to begin with. How can I get the moisture back into them and is using a...

Good question. I think that I got discouraged early on. I tried cooking a series of things a few times and they were failures. For example... Johnnycakes Recipe - Allrecipes.com I tried this recipe last night for Johnnycakes, which is pancakes with cornmeal instead of flour. They tasted...

Do you recommend that I buy one of those spice racks? The only spices that I have are: salt, seasoning salt, pepper, cinnamon, basil, coriander, cumin and garlic powder. If so, any particular brand I should pick up. Excuse the silly question. I think I saw one at Bed Bath Beyond for $40, but...

Linux, thanks for your suggestions. I've just ordered the book from Amazon; thanks for that recommendation as well. I'll follow your advice and won't be afraid of making mistakes. It's interesting that you say that, because fear of failure is my biggest drawback. I'm very excited about trying...

I'm a 35 year old man, who sadly, doesn't know how to cook. I eat out for almost every meal and my idea of cooking is boiling water for pasta and brewing coffee in the morning. My general thoughts about getting started are to hit the ground running; start cooking some basic recipes and...

Seasonings so far... I just grilled some chicken on a non-stick skillet with olive oil. I seasoned the chicken fillet with seasoning salt, pepper and dash of garlic powder. The taste was kind of bland and slightly salty. Anything that I can do to improve the taste for my lunch tomorrow...

Does the type of potato make a difference? (e.g. Yukon Gold, Russet, etc). I live in New York City, and I started out supermarket shopping in Whole Foods, which is known to have very high quality ingredients. Well a 5 lb bad of of potatoes was $5, which I thought was obsessive. So I went to...

Keep the suggestions coming; I'm going to try as many of these technique as I can, over the weekend. Right now I'm staying up late just to cook.

Whoa! I'm serously excited because I plan to make lunch for tomorrow while I'm at work. I work 12 hours on both Saturday and Sunday, so I have to make sure that I have some hardy things to keep me going.

Thanks Barbara, I will try it. I'm really eager to cook my own food, so I don't have to waste so much money buying lunch at work everyday. Do you by any chance know a good mashed potatoes recipe?

Oh ! Also, what's a simple but good recipe for mashed potatoes. The bar always serves the chicken sandwich with mashed potatoes and it's really good.

One of my favorite bars cooks this chicken sandwich on a bread roll. It's a grilled chicken fillet on a roll with mozarella cheese and bacon. My question is: What seasoning do I use on the chicken? I'm a newbie (obviously).

Thanks Andy, Do you know how I would go about getting the recipe that I've fallen in love with at that Italian restaurant. I can't afford to continue to eat there so often. I really do love their pasta though. I work 12 hours days but I think that I'll try to cook something when I go home.

Umm.. That's not really dumb. I could easily made the same mistake. I appreciate the heads up. Want to know something funny? I was recently hired at an IT company in New York City, and one of my new co-workers has the 7 cup round pyrex storage container. Turns out that in addition to him...

Hmm... well I'm interested in making salad to bring to work so that I can save some money in time during my lunch break. I have some pyrex glass tuperware; would I store the salad and the dressing in the same tuperware while in my company fridge, or keep the dressing in a separate jar until...
