Kitchen tools are so important to the preparation of a meal, and yet so few people really grant them the status they deserve. If you think about it, the kitchen tools
 you use are often-times more important than the quality of the ingredients. The kitchen tools you keep  should match the way you cook most often.

Cooking With A Frying Pan

Friday, March 21st, 2008

I got a great frying pan for my wedding that I thought would be one I could use for a very long time. The girl that bought it for me told me that it had a warranty on it, so I thought it would be around for at least ten years. It was not three years into my marriage that the frying pan that should have lasted began to act up. The coating was coming up, and even thought I took good care of it, and everything was sticking. I was disappointed, as you can imagine.

Southern Minnesota food

Thursday, March 6th, 2008

Believe it or not the cooking in Minnesota both in Restaurants and in homes is responsible in part for the amount of southern Minnesota tourism that takes place. This is the one real area of the US that has true Scandinavian prepared just the way it was in the old country. The food is actually what allows the people to endure the cold like they do. It is full of the right amount of fat and calories to maintain body heat during the harsh winters. Some of the dishes such as lutefisk are not to my liking, but some people think it is the greatest food on earth. It was originally developed as a way to preserve fish and it turned into a delicacy. Now some of the dishes are really wholesome and hardy and really good to eat. Take lefsa, a bread made out of potatoes. That is some good eating. Families come home from far and wide because they just can’t get that kind of cooking anywhere else. Even the local restaurants will make both these dishes during certain parts of the year just to satisfy their customers. Love it or hate it, it is a special food with a special flavor of Minesota.

Business requires kitchen appliances

Thursday, February 21st, 2008

Since time immemorial business is never mixed with personal life, the same phenomenon is applicable to appliances all over. If your workspace is home based then your appliance needs will be same as that of your home. However, the company running a huge organization will have different needs. The demarcation between both the appliances is just very less as they need the same comfort at work and at home they use the same basic set of appliance to fulfill their needs. There are five basic, regular kitchen appliance, these are the washer and dryer, stove, refrigerator and dishwasher. Other, smaller home appliances can include a microwave, coffee maker, kettle, toaster, blender, mixer, food processor, extra ranges and more.
Every business requires a fewer set of kitchen appliances as homes do, however there might be exceptions in which you might require high end models. For example, in your home the typical coffee maker that is switched on probably early in the morning will not work for an office of 500 persons at each floor. The higher the need the bigger will be the device purchasing any equipment for your home is a major decision on your part. The purchase is far more than a one time investment you don’t want to run into repairs every now and then. The appliance should be more durable and be efficient in years to come.

Homemade Illinois noodles

Tuesday, February 5th, 2008

I love to find new receipts from different cultures. During my Illinois travel I found an area where the Amish live. If you want some wonderful down to earth cooking, I would suggest you visit there. The Amish don’t believe in using modern appliances so most all of their cooking is done the old way. They don’t see time as a factor, fast food for them is eating an apple right off the tree. Their homemade noodles are better than any factory produced product and they contain no preservatives. Thus they are very good for low sodium diets. I got to help make a batch once and it was quite an experience. The receipt is quite simple, just flour, egg yolks, and water. There is a large table where they make a pile of flour and then dig a well in the middle. In that well they place the eggs and slowly start mixing the inside of the flour pile with the eggs. Once that is all mixed they slowly add water, a tablespoon at a time until the proper consistency is obtained. Then the dough is kneaded until elastic and rolled out to paper thin. It’s cut into strips and placed on towels to dry.
