I would love for someone to tell me about how to preserve feta from going off once you open a packet and leave the remaining bit in the fridge.  I am always throwing out half used feta since it has gone off after a couple of days.

One way of preserving feta cheese, is to keep it in brime in the fridge. To make the brime, use 2 cups of water, 2 tbs salt. Boil for 5 minutes remove from TM or hot plate and let it go cold. Place the feta in a container and cover it completely with the brime. Just rinse well in cold water to use it. It should last for more than a month.

INAID  I used 3 X rashers of bacon and half a red onion. After I steamed the zucchinis I sprinkled them with breadcrumbs and grated vintage cheese then cooked them in the Airfryer. Fresh from our garden. First of the crop.

My thoughts and prayers are with your friend and her family.

Thank you everyone for the warm welcome.
The truth is that I'm not familiar with using the forum and I have been hesitant to have an input to it.
I have been using my thermo for everything that can be used especially Greek recipes. I will try to convert some recipes from my Greek thermo book and hopefully they will be good enough to post.

Achookwoman, yes we are fortunate to live here.

Hello everyone

I had my thermo for more than two years and I must say, together with the wonderful recipes and help I get from
all of you nice people in the forum, cooking for my family has been even more enjoyable than ever before.

Thanks Ceejay
Thank you again Ceejay. They are the bread pans I have been looking for.

Thanks Judydawn. Nice to hear from you. No doubt someone will.
At the moment, I'm trying to learn how to use the forum...I think it is set up a little differently to
the ones I have known. I'm happy to practice. LOL
