For all of the different appliances that are meant to be convenient and wonderful in the kitchen, there are a lot that fall into the not so much category. We don’t really need a wonder pot that just makes one food item. If rice cookers fell into that category, they would not be so necessary either, however, they do more than just cook rice. There are several choices that you can make when picking the right rice cooker for you and your family. Look for factors that include:

The right size for your needs

Easy to use settings and controls

Additional uses

Looks and durability

A single woman does not really need one of the top of the line, family-size rice cookers. A family of four will need a rice cooker that makes enough food for the whole family. While other attachments and accessories are certainly great, they are not going to matter if half of the family is waiting for food to cook while the other half is already eating. Choose first by size and then look for the other qualities that you are interested in.

An appliance that makes you read five pages of instructions to turn it on is not a good choice for a busy family. Most rice cookers are simple to use, with easily read and understood controls. Even those that have timer and hold features are simple enough that the teens can get the hang of hitting a few buttons and fix a healthy meal for themselves and the family.

The don’t just cook rice. Consider this: there are enough varieties of rice that you can make a different meal from a different kind and not repeat for several weeks. But, your rice cooker should do more than just that one food. You can steam vegetables and meats with a good rice cooker – enough to make a whole meal.

Since you will probably use it so frequently, you will want your rice cooker to be attractive enough to stay out on the counter all of the time. There are several different finish options with some rice cookers available not only in stainless steel finishes but white, black and even in colors that will go with your kitchen. Your choice should take into account your décor but also your family as well. If you have a family with younger children, for instance, you might want a model that will hide the fingerprints.

Finally, no matter what your choice of rice cooker might be, you definitely want one that will last for a while. You don’t want to buy one, use it a few times and then find that it has died already. Look for models that are known for their durability and you will be happy for many years.

cooking Tips

Posted on August 25, 2011 by Admin

For cut vegetables make sure pieces are of equal size for equal cooking. If you are cooking an assortment of vegetables, arrange large or tougher vegetables (carrots, cauliflower, broccoli etc.) toward the outside of the plate and small or tender ones (peas, mushrooms, capsicum etc.) in the center so they finish cooking at the same time. Never pile food one on top of the other. In a microwave food always cooks evenly when spaced apart. Turning is necessary to ensure even distribution of microwaves through the food. Especially food such as large potatoes and cauliflower need to be turned over during cooking. Round dishes give more even cooking results than squares or rectangles. Ring shaped dishes are infact the best for cooking foods which cannot be stirred during microwave cooking. Improvise a ring shaped bowl by placing a small round bowl in the center of a large round dish. An omelet is best cooked at 50% (medium). If cooked at 100% (high) the edges may be done before the center and become leathery by the time the whole omelet is done. Food continues to cook when removed from the microwave cooker, by the heat generated within it. So always take into account standing time. Large or dense vegetables and fruit need standing time rather than more microwave time. If the food has been cooked with a cover leave it covered for the standing time. If it was cooked uncovered add a loose covering of foil to retain the heat. A cover holds in the steam to tenderize the food, keep it moist and shorten cooking time. A tight cover is ideal for foods that have little or no added water, like when steaming vegetables. Use a dish with a tight lid or cover with cling film. For foods cooked in liquid, or which create a great deal of juice, make a gap in the cling film cover by rolling back one edge. This allows excess moisture to escape. Or use special microwave lids, which have slits in them. Cover the dish with tissue paper while preparing “temper” or frying seeds like cumin, mustard etc. The tissue paper retains the seeds while allowing the moisture to escape. While reheating patties, kachori or mathri, place absorbent kitchen paper underneath to prevent them from turning soggy. Absorbent paper stops fat splattering and absorbs excess moisture. Not all cling films are micro-safe. If you are going to use cling film in the microwave be sure that it is marked as micro-safe. Use a fork to pierce or prick whole vegetables, like potatoes and squash, which are cooked in their skins to allow excess steam to escape. If this is not done steam will build up inside, causing the skin to burst. Avoid using alcohol in puddings, which have to be microcooked, since it may catch fire. Season vegetables with salt after cooking them in microwave. Salting before hand could leave brown spots. You cannot fry in the microwave, as cooking fat in large quantities is dangerous. When cooking rice in the microwave don’t add all the water at one go, as it will boil over. Milk based foods tend to boil over so use a larger and deeper container. Keep half a glass of water next to the dish while cooking too small a quantity of food. Increase microwave time in the same ratio as the amount of food to be cooked. Always start off with the shortest cooking time listed in the recipe, this way vegetables will not be overcooked. You can always cook it for some more time if required. Melting chocolate in a microwave is so simple-it does away with the need for a double boiler. Microwave it at 50% (medium) for 2 ½ minutes. Warming oranges for 1-2 minutes produces more juice when squeezed. Microwave is very useful for steaming green leafy vegetables like spinach. Clarify butter by heating cream (approx. 250 gm) on Micro 60 for 16 minutes. Increase shelf life of Sooji, Dalia, Idli rawa and other nuts and pulses by microwaving them on Micro high for 2-3 minutes (approx. 500 gm) This helps remove the moisture from these food items thus increasing their shelf life, especially in damp weather conditions. It is much easier to make sauces for Continental food in the Microwave, doing away with the endless stirring. Remember to cook the sauces on medium or medium low. To effortlessly remove a coconut from its shell, heat it on Micro high for 3 to 4 minutes. Blanch almonds by microwaving them with water for 3 minutes. ‘Boil’ potatoes in a jiffy. Microwave them in a polythene bag. For 4 potatoes microwave for 5 minutes. Sterilize jars for storing homemade jams and pickles. ‘Cook’ your dishcloth in the microwave oven for 60 seconds to eliminate disease-causing microorganisms. Use less water as there is less evaporation in the microwave. Start with 2/3rd of the water given in the conventional recipe, than add more if required. Cook on Micro High for about 5 minutes to bring to a boil and then simmer on lower power.
For steaming Remember to cover
Baking Don’t cover Remember there will be no browning, so to get a better look try using cocoa in the recipe. Don’t beat too much otherwise the cake will collapse in the microwave. Infact a cake in the microwave rises higher than in a conventional oven. Add an extra 2 tbsp (approx.) of milk as the batter should be thinner than the ordinary batter. It should be of a pouring consistency. Use powdered sugar otherwise the sugar will burn. Use round dishes. Fill dishes only half. Cakes require standing time. Microwave cakes taste best if eaten after a few hours.

Methods To Correctly Use An Electric Pressure Cooker

Posted on August 21, 2011 by Admin

Electric pressure cooker makes cooking a lot easier. The main benefit of a pressure cooker is that anybody doesn’t require a range to make meats soft and easy to eat. Different types of foods may be easily placed into the pressure cooker; add a bit seasoning along with a small amount of water and the pressure cooker is ready to go. As soon as the cover is closed and sealed, the meals inside is warmed up and the pressure within it builds up. The pot controls the steam aeration as the food cooks more rapidly under its intense pressure and heat.

An electric pressure cooker helps make meals uniformly cooked; it does not mince the foods since it does not have a stirring process. The pressure inside the cooker triggers the heat to make the food cook more rapidly than the common stove cooking kitchenware.

Electric pressure cookers include the adjustable timers for programmable settings. In addition, the cooker is capable of setting the pressure level for unique choices on how the meat might be cooked; can even be used to stir fry, boil and deep fry; many people that cooks prefer to blister the foods prior to setting the cooker.

These sorts of settings permit them to make the foods delicious before cooking using the pressure cooker. The warm setting enables the food to stay hot right up until it is time to be dished up.Place all the foods all together within the pressure cooker; including meats, rice, vegetables, sauces, or any other ingredients. Place the seasonings to taste and include the needed volume of water. Then, close the cover of the electric pressure cooker, turn it on and set the variable timer and program it based on the food type. Foods are cooked faster with electric pressure cookers as compared to those regular stove top pressure cookers.

Never open the lid immediately; wait till the appliance is ready to be opened up to avoid the accidental bursting of the sizzling hot steam. The electric pressure cooker added a safety feature which happens to be the automatic locking top. The automatic locking lid is achieved once the pressure builds up inside the cooker and the cover can not be easily opened to avoid possible steam injury.
The variable timer enables flexibility of making meals in advance. It has the feature of gradual cooking of the foods. The electric pressure cooker also has the capability to cook rice just as if one is utilizing a rice cooker.

Posted on August 19, 2011 by Admin

Do you have a passion for cooking?  Would you like to share that excitement with others? Then perhaps starting your own cooking website is for you!  Many excellent cooks have started cooking websites that help generate an income and make money online.  Your cooking website could be the next best trend online!

Whenever you decide to start a website, the enthusiasm and passion you have for your subject is generally reflected on your website.  That inspires others and promotes excitement for others to visit your website…and more website visitors means better business for you.

If you have a passion for cooking then it is only natural in starting a cooking website.  And, really it is not that difficult to accomplish.  I am sure that you can probably come up with a least a baker’s dozen of ideas on the type of content you would like to put on your website. 

As an example, if you decided you want your website to be about the French style of cooking you could not only share tips and tricks (and recipes) for people who love French cooking, but you could expand into other areas of cooking for greater audience appeal.  You could get into the healthy side to French cooking, as well as including the traditional French cooking methods.  Or you could even tell compare French cooking to other cooking styles, like Spanish cooking or Japanese cooking (tell about the various tastes).  Why not gives hints on French cooking that kids would appreciate? There are many options for website content articles on cooking, or you could specialize in a specific area.

]]>

One of the key elements with starting a cooking website is website content.  You need website content articles (on your cooking niche) that will attract visitors to your website.  You do, of course, want visitors to see your website so that you can share your passion with them, and perhaps even make money online.  So the more visitors that come to your website the better, and that means including good website content.

You will need to include articles on your niche cooking topic, as well as tips and techniques—and probably recipes as well.  You may want to write the content articles yourself and contribute your own original recipes, but this may require a lot of time on your part.  Instead of doing it all yourself, you could hire a writer to write the articles for you. You would probably only need to give the writer an idea of the type of website content articles you want and he will write and research the material needed for you. 

As another option, you may want to buy PLR articles from a PLR membership site. Here, you would receive a number of content articles, plus recipes, every month to include on your website at a very affordable price.

You could have a membership site where people pay a subscription fee every month to access your cooking website.  You could set up affiliate programs and sell other people’s products (like cookware or exotic food products) that you receive a commission from.  You could make money selling advertising space on your website.  Those are only a few ideas of how you could make money online by starting a cooking website.

When you start a cooking website, you will need to find some form of advertising to get visitors to your website.  Of course, you can buy traffic or you can advertise using free ads.  But one of the best forms of advertising is an article marketing campaign.  Article marketing is when you write and submit articles on your niche subject to article directories and then include a link back to your website in the resource box.  When people read your interesting article, they then click the link to your website.  This is where they are exposed to your advertising promotion so that you can make money online.  By using a PLR membership site, you can get enough articles for your article marketing campaign to be successful.

Plank Cooking – The Phenomenon And Art Of Plank Cooking

Posted on August 17, 2011 by Admin

Cedar plank cooking was originally used by Pacific Northwest Indians over a hundred years ago. The Indians prepared and smoked their fish on a moist cedar plank and found that the taste of their fish was greatly improved.

In modern times, contemporary chefs have been systematically trying out new and ingenious ways of using cedar planks for almost every meat that you can possibly concieve, with excellent results.

With plank cooking, there really are no limitations as to what you can cook, virtually any meat or vegetable can be prepared, even entire courses of food can be cooked in one go!

The beauty of cooking with planks is that when they are smoldering over a flame, they impart a fragrant smoke that permeates the food whilst ensuring that moisture and succulence are retained with the steam that is produced from the cooking plank.

Using cedar planks in cooking has become something of a modern phenomenon, picking up a good quality cooking plank and using it effectively in a modern kitchen, or over a fire while camping, is remarkably easy once you have the basics down.
Cedar plank cooking tips

First of all, it is important to rinse a cedar plank for at least 1 hour prior to cooking. The longer you leave it the better. If you are cooking for an extended period of time, soak the plank for a minimum of four hours, up to a whole day. This will help to ensure that the plank doesn’t dry out before your food is cooked.

]]>

Some people like to soak their cooking planks in beer, wine, or various fruit-based ciders to add an additional layor of flavor to the food through the steam during cooking.

Before you start cooking on a cedar plank, take the time to brush some olive oil onto the smooth side of the plank as this helps to reduce the chance of food sticking to the wood, much in the same way that we brush the grill of a barbecue to prevent meat from doing the same thing.

Now that the cedar plank is prepared, you can start placing your chosen fish, poultry, red meats or vegetables  over a medium to high temperature on a covered grill.

Cedar planks are truly versatile as they can be used on any barbecue, be it gas, charcoal, or in the oven.

Once you have positioned the plank on a barbecue grill, shut the lid and cook the food for somewhere between 20-40 minutes. At this stage, check the grill often, and keep a water spray handy to douse any licks of flames that rise from the edges of the plank. If you have positioned your plank correctly, you shouldn’t have to worry about any flames.

If the planks flare up often, turn down the temperature slightly, or raise it above the charcoal a little, and spray a little water on the edges of the cooking plank.

It depends purely on the type of barbecue grill that you are using, just use common sense and adjust the temperature or the position of the plank accordingly so that your food does not get overcooked.
Tips for using cooking planks on in the oven

If you are using your cooking plank in the oven, place the plank in a baking tray, remembering to soak it first for an hour or two before use. You can use an additional additive of your choice, such as cherry cider to enhance the flavor.

During cooking, keep an eye on the level of the liquid fairly often (avoiding opening the oven door when possible) to make sure that at least half an inch of water is present in the bottom of the baking tray.

If you are cooking meat, juices will be released from poultry, beef and so on. You can take this opportunity to baste the meat with the juices that seep down onto the plank, saving you the trouble of having to prepare a sauce to keep the meat succulent and full of flavor.

One of the greatest things about cooking with a cedar cooking plank is that when food is prepared on one and served to the table, they can look amazingly good, and are perfect for special occasions when presentation is everything.

Before serving food on your cooking plank to the table, place it on a heat-resistant platter, and then serve. Your guests will be impressed by your food that is smoldering and emanating steam and a wonderful aroma, and it is quite possibly once of the most visually appealing ways to serve food.

On top of that, your dining area will smell fantastic as well!

Wow Horde Cooking Guide

Posted on August 13, 2011 by Admin

One of the most overlooked, yet surprisingly useful skills in WoW is the Cooking skill. I will give you a quick overall guide to horde cooking here, and at the bottom of this article you can find the link to our best free 1-300 Horde cooking guide.

Cooking in WoW is not an absolute must by any means, but, especially if you’ve spent some time on related secondary professions like Fishing, you can actually use Cooking to bring in a reasonable amount of gold with relatively little effort. It’s also a pretty fun diversion when you’re looking to get away from your usual activities for a little while.Initially, Cooking was largely ignored by WoW players, mainly because there wasn’t much to it. However, one of the lesser-known aspects of the Burning Crusade expansion was the attention paid to some of the secondary professions, Cooking among them, and there are now so many ways to use Cooking that it’s easy and worthwhile for anyone to give it a try.

WoW Cooking – Starting Out

The first thing you’ll need if you’d like to try Cooking is fire. In order to start a fire, you’ll have to have the Simple Wood, Flint, and Tinder items. These are very common items, as you’re probably aware. With these items on hand, go to your Spellbook. There you’ll find the Basic Campfire spell, which can be cast by anyone.
The cookbook is also located in your Spellbook. Here you’ll see which recipes you have available. One thing to keep in mind is that the Basic Campfire only lasts a few minutes. So, make sure that you’re ready to start cooking immediately after you set up your fire. To cook, select the ingredients listed in your recipe of choice.
Every recipe requires specific ingredients. We’ll use Crocolisk Steak as an example. The ingredients for Crocolisk Steak are one each of Crocolisk Meat and Mild Spices. Mild Spices are sold by many differend vendors, while Crocolisk Meat is dropped by some of the various Crocolisk mobs.

]]>

By successfully completing recipes, you’ll improve your Cooking skill. You can purchase any necessary items from a Cooking trainer – you can expect to have to make a moderate investment in order to really get started. As you go forward and complete quests, though, you’ll find yourself coming across Cooking-related items on a regular basis.

Rising Through the Ranks

Finding the items necessary for advanced recipes can be a bit tricky at first. Here’s one way you can improve your Cooking skill quickly. Start off in Ironforge. You can easily get Flour and Mild Spices here, which are the ingredients for Spiced Bread. Make 60 Spiced Breads to improve your Cooking skill to 40. Next, get yourself 30 Mild Spices, and plenty of wood. Go to Auberdine, where you can find some Moonkin. Kill enough of these to get at least 20 eggs, preferably more. You can use these ingredients in recipes which will help you quickly get your Cooking skill up to 60.
From Auberdine, head south to Ashenvale, where you’ll find Crawler mobs. These will give you Clam Meat, which you can take back to Ironforge. Once you’re back, cook whatever eggs you have left and sell the finished items. After that, you can go to a cooking trainer and train your skills in order to use the Clam Meat in recipes. Your Cooking should now be around 130. Buy the Expert Cookbook, which will increase your Cooking skill cap to 225.
Making Money With Cooking

Of course, there’s more to the Cooking skill than just improving the skill itself. Food items can be useful in a number of ways, especially because of buffs. Buffs are what give food items their monetary value on the open market, and once you’ve got your Cooking skill high enough to make food with good buffs, you can start earning money by selling them.

A good Fishing skill will really help you get the most out of Cooking, but it is possible to earn decent money through Cooking even without Fishing. One popular food item is Mok’Nathal Shortribs. These will fetch about 1 gold per set. With a good source for ingredients, you can make a lot of money. Try going to the Blade’s Edge Mountains, where you can find Raptors. These mobs occasionally drop the Raptor Ribs that are the only ingredient for Mok’Nathal Shortribs. Just keep farming the Ribs here. You can get upwards of 30 Ribs, and therefore 30 gold pieces, per hour this way.
