how many here know how to cook meat without using a thermometor ? it seems like nowadays its a lost art , while i do think its a great tool for people just learning to cook meat , i think the new cook should learn to tell the doneness of meat by touch or in some cases even sight, as i said...

one of my pet peeves is that they never show a fully cooked egg , the yoke is never cooked , yes i know some people like eggs that way but you would think someone would fully cook an egg once in a while , another one is how everyone eats on these shows , when they take a bite of anything the...

Cooking lamb for my wife's bday. They had shoulder and leg in the supermarket and my mother in law said to get both. We both love to cook and obviously she has a lot more experience than me and her food is great just she is old fashioned. First thing I said was will the leg and shoulder not need...

How good were your parents at cooking? I got to thinking this when I saw caseydog 's remark on the American Goulash/Chili Mac "Even my mom couldn't mess it up.". Both my parents are still alive and these days (both in their 80s) pretty much subsist on convenience foods. Back in the day...

Other than the halogen oven, the air fryer and the rice cooker our fuel for cooking (hob and oven) is bottled gas (LGP propane). Last year for the first time I recorded the date that I changed the bottle (2nd June). That bottle ran out today. The current price for a 15 kg bottle is ฿400.00...

It may be time to cook,but would you let your little one do a dangerous job in the kitchen such as the job pictured below? There are many food prep & cooking jobs to do, some that kids would not even THINK about hesitating to do, but let's face it, sadly, they can get injured, burned or hurt...

We all love cooking, but of course, even for the most cheerful of cooks, it can become a drudgery, night after night, week after week. When looking at the days and weeks ahead, do you purposely build into your plan a night off from cooking? Sometimes, it can take care of itself, like if you...

We have wonderful cooks here, and we all love being in the kitchen, but we all have days where we just can’t be bothered. Maybe work gets in the way, or family emergencies, or maybe you’re just too tired. For me, it’s usually work or personal errands, and some days, just scrambling an egg is...

Thinking of typical food and cooking aromas, I’m sure things like bacon frying, or a roast in the oven, or a simmering sauce, would place high on a lot of people’s list of favorites. I was struck by one I never would have considered. I made devil’s food cupcakes the other day, minus any...
