Crockpot or Slowcooker-A Cook's Best Friend-Free Recipe

Show Guide...

Once the weather starts to cool down, the crockpot takes its place of honor again on  our kitchen counter.  This handy appliance allows me to throw in five or six ingredients in the morning, run out the door and have the wonderful aroma of a delicious meal wafting throughout the house upon return.....life is good! I've included a free recipe to get you started.

Never used a crock pot or slow cooker? Its easy to remedy that. There are many makes and models available, some things to look for:

If you're single and don't entertain all that often, go for the smaller, 1.5-2.0 quarts models. Its also nice to get the removable liner/cooking bowl because this is a lot easier to clean, just throw into the dishwasher or a quick rinse.

If you cook for a crowd, go for the larger models, from 2.5-4.0 quarts. The slowcooker is perfect for pot lucks-keep it plugged in and the setting on warm and the dish is ready to serve from. We like to make "Beer Meatballs" for football games and potlucks, this recipe is one of the ones featured in my "470 Crockpot recipes" e-book. Enjoy-I've included it below!

I prefer the shape of a slowcooker, usually oval instead of the round and deeper pot in the crockpot. This is individual preference and the recipes for them are interchangable unless noted.

Remember that the slow cooker is just that, a slow cooking machine. Most recipes will call for a 6-8 hour cooking time. This is why the meat falls apart and is so tender at the ...


Book Grading & Condition

Show Guide...

~ BOOK GRADING ~

Most book dealers us a set of standardized terms in describing the condition of a book. The terms refer to the overall condition of the book but the description should also state any obvious important flaws or variances from the term.
Always feel free to ask for more details if you're uncertain about a book's condition.

  • As New (or "MINT") - Refers to a book or magazine that is in pristine condition. If issued with one, the dustjacket is flawless and without smudges, scuffs, or tears. The book is without marks or stamps, has no bent or missing pages and is structurally perfect.
  • Fine - Refers to a nearly perfect book which approaches "as new" but has one or more minor flaws or shows very slight wear.
  • Near Fine - Approaches fine but shows more signs of handling or wear. Variance from the "fine" condition, such as small tears and wear to athe dustjacket, previous owner's name in pencil or ink or on a bookplate, and price clipped from the dustjacket flap should be described.
  • Very Good - The book shows limited wear but its physical condition is above that of the average used book. Any stains or marks, small tears or creasing should be noted.
  • Good - Describes the average used book which shows its age. Any stains or marks, small tears etc. should be noted.
  • Fair - The book has seen hard use and, unless rare, has little value other than as a reading copy. It may have damaged or missing pages or endpapers, heavy underlining of text, stains or spotting.

    Food: Alsace-Lorraine

    Show Guide...

    I am in the business of selling cookbooks that I create. I offer cookbooks from around the world but for me to create a cookbook, I have to have an interest in the foods of the region(s) I am writing about. Alsace-Lorraine is the region where my surname comes from, so I naturally had a reason for dwelling into the foods of Alsace-Lorraine since that is one of the places where my family is from.

    Alsace-Lorraine is two regions located next to each other in the eastern part of the country of France. Alsace lies along the Rhine river, the border with Germany, while Lorraine is the region just to the west of Alsace. Alsace and Lorraine both have had a turbulent history starting from the 17th century until recently. Alsace was part of Germany until the Treaty of Munster in 1648 while Lorraine was French with German masters. For the next 300 years, both regions were passed back and forth between France and Germany until after WWII.

    Alsace has much in common with Germany, the language and the culture, the architecture and the food. Sauerkraut with all the pork trimmings is the region's signature dish. The soil is rich and the agriculture abundant. The region's products are celebrated with festivals around the year. Alsace is also know for it's foie gras and it's pate de foie gras. For those of you who do not know what foie gras is and are not vegetarian, keep reading, otherwise skip to the next paragraph. Foie gras is the mixture created from the livers of ducks and geese which are forcefed to create fatty livers. Pate is just a more refined product of the same process.

    Lorraine, on the other hand, has more in common with France. A region of rolling pastures and farms, Lorraine is famous for a dish called Quiche Lorraine, created during a time period when Lorraine actually had it's own royalty. The region has been important to history for many reasons but salt is the primary reason...

    Cooking with a saute pan

    Show Guide...

    The term Saute' is a french word meaning "to make jump". You see, when you saute something it means to cook on high heat with a little bit of fat (oil, butter, "I cant believe its not butter" etc....) The idea is to saute something that will be eaten right away. For instance, you would saute' stir fry. You wouldn't saute' a lamb shoulder. You may sear a lamb shoulder, but thats a different lesson.

    When buying a saute pan its very important to buy one with a thicker bottom (not necessarily copper) and a sturdy handle. The whole idea here is to have a pan with flexibility in temperature. If you are cooking with a pan with a very thick bottom, then it will be uneasy to cool the pan down. Often times when cooking I make whats called a beurre fondue after I've sauteed whatever I was cooking as a sauce. In order to do that, cool the pan down by taking it off the heat and adding 3 to 1 butter to water, while doing a swirling motion. It takes all of the fond from the bottom of the pan and incorporates it into a buttery, shiny, sexy sauce. Its impossible to make a beurre fondue with a pan that is too hot. Your sauce will break...... That is very depressing... On the other hand, a pan that is too thin will not last as long, and in cooking will change temperatures too often. Which also causes sauces to break. And what is dinner without sauce??

    So, in retrospect..... I would suggest for first timers, or old timers that keep burning stuff.... Don't buy the pretty one, or the giant one, or those stupid little 1 egg sized ones. Medium is versatile. Look at your shipping weights.  Two to six pounds........ I hope this helped. I will never have my own cooking show, or become a rockstar, like I planned, but as a songwriting, restaurant manager, ex- gourmet cook with culinary school experience,  I will make something of myself, even if it...
