biscuit pans

December 7th, 2009

Nothing beats freshly made bread or biscuits in the mornings. It is heaven on earth. My mom used to make freshly baked bread on Sunday mornings. To everyone in my family, it is a sign of love itself. Now as an adult, I baked bread almost every day for my new family. Actually, I use a bread maker. I put the ingredients at night, set the time I want it in the morning and walla, freshly baked bread. Now, I’m learning how to biscuits. I bought myself some biscuit pans.

When buying biscuit pans make sure they are made from cast iron. Cast iron biscuit pans are usually non stick. Take care in cleaning them and they will stay non stick. They will also add extra crust on your biscuit. I love crusty biscuits. I would peel the biscuits and eat them slowly, yummy.

If cooking is one of your passions, having quality cookware set is a must. A stainless steel cookware set is one type of cookware you can rely on. They are generally pretty hardy so they are sure to last for many cooking sessions.

But to keep them clean and shiny, regular washing and drying may be all that’s required. Although tougher cleaning problems can arise occasionally, here are some pointers on how to handle them:

~Use warm, soapy water for everyday cleaning. Dry them thoroughly with a soft cloth.
~Use a mixture of 25 percent white vinegar in water to remove mineral deposits left by hard water.
~Remove burned-on food by pouring boiling water into the pan. Let it set for 15 minutes. If the pan still won’t come clean, let the water cool then wash with warm soapy water and a scrub brush made of nylon.
~Remove rust with an oxalic acid cleaner.
~Polish stainless steel with a paste made of water and baking soda. Rinse and dry thoroughly.

December 1st, 2009

More and more people are trooping to their kitchens and learning how to cook. Cooking is fun. To fully enjoy the cooking experience, make your kitchen a functional one. Buy and complete your kitchen accessories. Don’t buy it all at once, it will cost you a fortune. Start with good knives, pots and pans and a couple of cutting boards.

Cutting boards are necessary to prepare your ingredients. They are cheap enough to own multiple boards. If you don’t use a cutting board, you will ruin your knife and your kitchen counter. It is also safer to use a cutting board when cutting or chopping something. If you use your counter as a chopping board, pieces of it might break up and hit you in the eye or your knife might slide and hit you.

Things have gotten better with the emergence of innovative cast iron pieces. You can now proudly display your red enamel cast iron dutch oven. It is the same heat efficient and durable cast iron dutch oven that you are so accustomed to. The difference is that it is covered in high quality enamel coating. They come in a variety of bright colors, too.

Enamel cast iron pots are just the tool for soups and for stewing all kinds of meat and poultry. Its wide bottom is ideal for browning meats prior to adding the liquids and seasonings in a stew. They can be left stewing for hours without worrying about drying up. The moisture will just recycle itself by turning from vapor to liquid that falls right back into the pot. The result will be delicious, amazingly flavorful stew.
