A sauce is considered to be a primary liquid flavored with sautéed seasonings and ingredients. In the gourmet world, before a sauce is complete, it is usually "reduced." This helps create an evaporation effect which makes the sauce more flavorful and thicker. Sometimes sauces are strained to...

Hello, I am looking for a "neutral" cooking oil that is purely for frying beef in the pan and won't interfere with the taste of the meat. Kind regards, Eating Chicken

Jewish cuisine is something I know little about and curiously there are not many recipe books dedicated to Jewish cooking. I recently acquired a book first published in 1947: Jewish Cookery by Florence Greenberg (and revised a few times) The version I have is from 1963. I've been trying to make...

As the intro to this quiz says: Can your cooking stand up to Bobby Flay’s, or does your cooking knowledge end with instant ramen and boiled eggs? Take this quiz now to find out! I got 11 out of 12 - since I had no idea what a Denver Omelette was. Not that surprising as I think that omelette...

Flour and Baking Soda certainly qualify as Cooking Powders, but this discussion goes after much more. Recently, I posted a recipe for Sea Pie, where I created a Cashew powder with Mortar an Pestle. That's a good example. More recently, I made the dumb mistake of buying a package of Coffee...

Now, I'm probably not normal as I'm an obsessive cook and I spend a lot of the day cooking. Or so it seems. But here is the question - when you are at home, how many hours per day do you spend making meals? This includes preparation and any checking, turning, stirring of food - but not the time...

I don't remember seeing one at all. :wink:

In my case, I hate chopping onions. Its nothing to do with the fact they can make you cry. A good cry can be quite therapeutic. I just hate the fact I have to chop onions so often. So many recipes call for chopped onions! Boring... Anyway - as someone who loves to cook, what do you hate about...

Three ingredients to start.

For me, temperature isn't everything, but its a big part of doing things so as to achieve great results. I was rather amused to find that on the internet, temperature is more a concern for safety, than achieving good results. They seek to ensure that things are fully cooked to the extent that...

Following on from @morning glory 's thread on chips, I wondered how many different methods there are of cooking potatoes? Chips (fries), roast, boiled, baked (jacket), mashed, creamed, duchess, fondant (one that I discovered recently), fried mashed (as in bubble and squeak or rumbledethumps)...

I'm just wondering if anyone else received any presents either directly or indirectly related to the kitchen. For me I had a few items that could qualify, from some new measuring spoons (curiously Australian ones don't have a desertspoon but do have a half tablespoon size), some cookie cutters...

Do you have a list of recipes or techniques that you have never cooked before but plan to try? My list gets longer by the day! Here are a few of them: Waffles Strudel/filo pastry Kimchi Sous vide (anything sous vide!) Lobster Thermidore Rice paper wraps Food made using a smoking gun Various...

A couple of months ago, I sought your knowledge to hear about what you like / dislike from a cooking website. This has led me to the creation of a questionnaire so that I can quantify this information with the objective of understanding what the most important features are for a cooking website...

I want to thank the person who told us about a really easy way of cooking corn on the cob by actually putting the cob into the microwave exactly as you buy it, without peeling it or pulling off all those stringy bits. It has completely changed the way I cook corn on the cob and made it so much...
