I looked in the tags and memories but this didn't show up at all, so here we go. Hopefully this is okay!

My husband got me a food processor for Christmas. It does not have a dough blade (he almost got me one with that but changed his mind). It's an Oster. It is still in its box as I don't have room in my cupboards to store it just yet, but I want ( Read more... )

Is there a good formula for how to figure out cooking time if, instead of making one large thing, you're making many small things ( Read more... )

I have been researching about cooking with salad dressing and want to make baked chicken parts (bone in) but the recipes I looked at are for boneless chicken and the cook time varies from 35 minutes to an hour.  I thought because of the bones I'd have to cook it longer ( Read more... )

My cousin has some wild goose breast languishing in his freezer, and he has requested that I cook it for him. Of course I jumped at the chance, but now I have no idea where to go.

I overcooked brownies a little and now they are kind of dry and rubbery.

Is there a way to salvage them?

Maybe it's because I had run out of those muffin paper cup thingies (name escapes me now) and made a citric muffin last year, but this year, when I recently made some banana ones (this time with the greased paper cup thingies in place), after i washed it it just... disintegrated into rust ( Read more... )

At the local farmer's market near my school there is a vendor who sells okra for a reasonable price and I've been tempted to buy some on occassion, the only problem is I have no idea what to do with okra or even how to cook it. So what are your favorite ways to cook okra and what are your favorite recipes. My apartment kitchen has the basics ( ( Read more... )

I was going to make a vaguely Thai stew tomorrow i.e. throw pre-made Thai red curry paste with coconut milk and assorted veg, and I have a question: would the coconut milk be enough for the steaming liquid or would I need to add some water in addition to prevent burning?

Thanks!
