What toys do you have your kitchen that you could not do without?

Forum topic

A few years ago, when I was working some incredibly long hours I purchased a "Tefal Cook4me" machine.   This machine is incredibly good when it comes to cooking a curry in a short amount of time.  You get home after 7.30 p.m. and you are sitting down with dinner at 8.00 p.m.  Or you have friends who turn up right on dinner time and you lack the energy to be creative in the kitchen as you simply don't have the time.

how to get food ready at the same time?

Forum topic

As a home cook I often have trouble getting the various parts of a meal ready at the same time. For example the other nite I made boiled new potatoes tossed in butter & rosemary, asparagus, pork tenderloin, served with a Bearnaise sauce over the asparagus and pork.  The potatoes held warm in the pot after draining, that was easy.  And the pork was resting covered with foil.

Chicken Salt

Forum topic

I came across Chicken Salt the other day. Its basically chicken skin thats dry roasted, then braised then dehydrated, then ground with salt and its used as a condiment. Curious if others have made it and what they think.

What to do with quit a lot of currant

Forum topic

From my currant-bushes in the garden I harvest around 2,5 kg of berries (half red, half white and some pink). I've snap-frozen , and they are still in my freezer.

Do you have any ideas what to do with them? Can they be used in a sauce?

Baking in oven of 230°C for 15 minutes with steam from poured in boiling water underneath the rack, followed by 25 minutes at 200°C. When I took the bread out of the oven I was so pleased with the result that I took a picture of it to share it with you guys.

HELP Please = Canning Chicken Stock

Forum topic

One of you lovely Stella Community Members posted a picture of canning Chicken Stock!  Do you think I can find it now - and it is hiding!    I am thinking that it was one of you professional chef type people rather than a home cook!    

I don't have one of those fancy pressure cookers - my pressure cooker whistles - so is there anyone who might like to help a fellow member - and let me know how you can your stock in a pressure cooker.  

For example, when I make an Indian lamb curry the pressure cooker has to blow five whistles then it is done.
