    Name 3 things you have trouble cooking?

    I am not questioning June's recipe. Spatchcock IS a baby chicken. The cutting method or style has nothing to do with it...However, it is common for the spine to be removed from spatchcock...but removal of the spine does not make it a spatchcock. From Wiki - A spatchcock is a baby chicken...

    Name 3 things you have trouble cooking?

    I am confused again... Is this a "list three things" or is it a request for help and suggestions? Seems to be a bit of both. Someone mentioned reducing pan juices with wine. Don't worry about it not tasting any good. IMO using wine like that makes the food "posher" not better! Unless the...

    Cooking in stock question

    Nup If you put a fish in pure (distilled) water, it will drown. The water must be airated. A common method of preparing salt or sea water for fish tanks. Is to put the water in a large container like a large bucket, and wait. After about 4 to 6 weeks all life will be...

    Cooking in stock question

    Your sort of correct...but not quite. Anaerobic life forms can survive without oxygen. Not neccessarly without air. In fact some will die from contacting oxygen. But, yes some life appears to live without air such as fish. But in truth they extract their "air" from the water...as an example...

    Cooking in stock question

    I am confused...Is the OP using two different user names? Yes you can freeze stock. Another method so that it is always ready is to seal with fat. Heat the stock when at boiling point add a big piece of fat such as dripping, lard or butter. Then turn off the heat and allow to cool. When cool...

    Cooking frozen lasagna in stages?

    115 minutes? Why? Are you cooking from frozen? If so thaw them first. Have you ever done this sort of thing before? Is that 1 hour you have for cook time or is that 1 hour for cook and serve? This is only a guess because I don't know what your set up is there. I would say you should...

    What to do????

    I know it is only possible to make guesses without the books...so here goes - If you made your $4 on average (the 40c is GST) per customer. Then you would need to serve 45 customers per hour, every hour for 12 hours a day seven days a week to make your $15k turn over. Sure, most would get a...
