Foodies BS Thread.

Hmmm, good advice, I have only thrown it in the dishwasher.

Well while we are on microwaves, I'm sure it is not a huge secret, but I only learned it about a year ago.

The best (and a safe) way to clean your microwave, put a microwave safe container (coffee mug works great) about 2/3 full of water and cook it for 8 minutes. The steam will loosen all the stuck on sauces that splatter and kill any bacteria as well. When it is done, just wipe clean with a paper towel. This also does not introduce any chemicals into the microwave that can come from your cleaning supplies.

 

Did somebody mention Bacon Hot Sauce?

 

Chicken Katsu. It's what's for dinner

 

BBQ ribs, it's what's for dinner... At my house

 

^Those ribs look good

 

Any easy crock pot recipes you guys would be willing to share? Just moved into my own place and will be teaching and coaching durimg the day so I don't have a whole lot of time to made food after school.

 

beef chuck roast, package of french onion soup mix, cut up some onions and carrots, 1 cup of water in the bottom and let it cook. Make some mashed taters when you get home and have a hell of a meal

 

Anyone made their own sausage before?

I'm looking at doing some beef snack sticks and maybe some Italian sausage next weekend. I'm just looking for some tips if anyone has done it before.

 

X2!

 

I just got a new Crock Pot on Saturday in exchange for being "friend with a truck" on moving day... haha

I made this yesterday: http://cooklikeyourgrandmother.com/2008/12/how-to-make-crock-pot-pork-tenderloin/

I used red sweet potatoes instead of white potatoes & deglazed the pan with chicken broth instead of plain water. I seared the pork with a couple sliced-up strips of bacon in the pan (and some coconut oil) because I don't keep bacon fat around.

 

That looks good! How did yours come out?

 

i blame you, my tacoma friends for that last few pounds i am having difficult losing. some GREAT cooks here!! dont worry...going hunting for 10 days, so i should starve it off then.

That looks great! Hey nothing wrong with healthy eating!!

 

Making some dinner!

 

Those steaks look delicious!!!! ^^^

 

Strip? My favorite steak. We call them KC Strips around here - do you guys call them NY or KC Strips? I'm always curious where the line is drawn for the naming convention.
