looking for advice..
i have tried the rinsing my rice a few times and draining it
1 cup rice to 1 1/2 c water method (all tried with jasmine rice and plain rice) and it turns out soggy
i boil it till it bubbles cover it for 20 min then take it off heat for another or 30
also tried a 1 to 1 ratio made the same way and it STILL is clumpy and soggy
is there anyway to get rice semi dry and seperated nicely in the same way chinese restaurant rice is?
there must be a way without buying a rice cooker-i dont want to because i make rice only 1 or 2 times a week
thanks for any ideas

Hi i am planning to make a Mediterranean fish soup
(julia child recipe) that calls for 1 C onions and 1 C leeks
can i substitute 2 cups onions or would that not "make" the dish?
it also calls for making a rouille-i will probably omit the pimentos
can you store a rouille for a few days ?
i think there is a video of this at pbs's julia site but it says it is lo-fat

(with graham kerr)
going to watch it now

actually i am quite happy with the mixer it is a beautiful machine

the 600 series doesnt have a tilt back feature-i find this quite a bad omission
what is the best ka mixer that has the up and down lever for the bowl as well as the tilt back? or is there one?
thanks

amazon is having a special right now with the 6qt Kitchen Aid Pro on sale (with a rebate) for $210...that seems like a pretty good price...so much so that I'm tempted even though I already have two Kitchen Aid stand mixers.
I saw that too. If I had any chance of having space for one, I'd buy it in a second. Unfortunately, I don't, so I'll be letting this deal pass me by
i did take the deal and bought the licorice one for 209 (after $50) rebate
good thing i did the price on that color is now $360 today! the only color left at that price is meringue which is a pretty color... if anyone wants to get one at that price-it is only good for the next 17 hrs fyi
thanks alana for the awesome tip!

Ore-ida extra crispy steak fries are secretly laced with crack. At least, that is the only explanation I can come up with for my unholy addiction to them. When making homemade fries I follow the Cook's Illustrated technique of removing a lot of the starch from the potatoes, then adding some back on in the form of cornstarch. Crispy and wonderful, but I think that Ore-Ida still has me beat. Still working at that...
thanks i will buy a bag (aka sack bitday gbalert! haha)
of these sounds well....
good!

thanks for the feedback
i only want a breadmachine/mixer because it saves time and i MUCH prefer how it comes out over storebought bread hands down (and it is less expensive than buying bread)
i always like to make my own when i can-i totally like the whole bread making by hand experience very much
but i want the option of fresh bread that is less time consuming and better all around than store bought for daily consumption.

Kitchen Aid Professional 600 6 qt mixers are on sale from Amazon for $210. I just got one after mixing dough in my food processor and the versatility of it is very liberating. As others have mentioned, you can do a lot with it and the 600 version is very capacious and powerful.

that is an awesome deal-i like the licorice rather than meringue
those are the only 2 colors at that great a price but that is OK
(the zojirushi bread machine is $170 so...)
thanks i think i will get this for christmas
plus if you spend over $25 in the home store at amazon you get a free 1 year sub to bon appetit gourmet or domino
i am thinking gourmet-not sure tho... opinions which one of the 3 magazines is best?
thanks for all the info this is great!

i had an old bread machine that was awesome at making dough and made a decent baked loaf when i wanted one
it was an oster i think....
anyway the lining in the breadpan has started flaking off into my dough and needless to say i wont bake another loaf in it
it is headed for the trash....
question is do i buy another bread machine (i use it 90% of the time for making dough for other things) or get that super fantastic kitchenaid that is really expensive but makes dough and does alot of other useful things...
???
btw i am not sure what kitchen aid models these days are expandable (sausage grinder, pasta maker etc) and would appreciate some advice
would rather put $100 into a kitchenaid than another bread machine that wont do the work

no but i have had turkeys with feathers still stuck in the wings etc
from an old farmin gbook (i used to love to read them) singe the spots with a match or lighter
if they stay that is part of the charm of having a "REAL" turkey

Overnight is fine. I think you will be pleased with the results - it does do something very nice for the flesh. I'm not big on citrus either, so I go with cider, ginger and onion. Thyme and Sage.
I'm a skin person, so the only time I brine is for smoked turkey. Roast Turkey I presalt and leave open in the fridge overnight, then go cheesecloth and butter the first two or three hours.
hi anne
you mean presalt in and out? kosher salt or does it matter
do you put butter under the skin or put cheesecloth over the top brushed with butter?
i am roasting so may i shouldnt brine
thanks for the answers e1
