Recipe Requests / Re: Homemade Pot Noodles
« on: January 28, 2009, 03:09:28 pm »
Not sure what "pot" noodles are, but I've made noodles already in the TM...  I usually do about half all purpose flour and half semolina (can do all all purpose), and add a large egg for every 100 gm of flour.  Add some salt and EVOO.    2 minutes on interval speed...

Vegetarian / Re: Green beans with macadamias and garlic

Sure does....  Is that pretty much a standard?  When the recipe calls for add water and cook at varoma temp for x minutes, they're assuming the water is preheated?

I have a varoma question.  When you say "Place 500ml of water into TM bowl and beans into Varoma dish. Steam on Varoma temp, speed 1 for 10 min." do you preheat the water first?  Seems like it takes a bit to bring the water to a boil, not leaving much time to steam the beans..... (sorry, no one to give me a demo)

Of course, it helps to learn how to sharpen them too....  I happen to be lucky enough to live near a fellow who sharpens high end knives for a living.  Great guy who took the time to show me how :)

Recipe Requests / Re: Recipes to use up buttermilk!
« on: January 24, 2009, 02:42:46 pm »
One of our favorites is this recipe for Irish Soda Bread .  The recipe calls for a pound of water and some buttermilk powder.  Just substitute a pound of buttermilk.  That's what was in the original recipe :)

Look what the postman delivered :) 

I realize most of you aren't into knives, but this is a Shigefusa, about 21 cm.  There's about a 2 year wait for one of these :D

Hi Patzee,
     Nice to meet you :)
     Sorry that I'm not good at giving you the advice you're looking for.  I bought mine for it's usefulness in the kitchen, and doing some things that are either time consuming or difficult without it, such as a Bearnaise Sauce or risotto.  I've really been amazed at what it can do with sauces, making them almost foolproof :)  So...  I guess you could say less flubs and thus food savings ;)

Tips and Tricks / Re: Chopping meat
« on: January 22, 2009, 02:03:43 pm »
Well, I found this link, but unfortunately the link to a picture doesn't work anymore.  Consensus seems to indicate that it's what we call the "eye" of the round. That cut is somewhat consistent with your descriptions. 

We usually use the brisket for a corned beef.  It has some fat that keeps the meat moist.
