Odd size pans and induction
Comments (8)You can find all manner of odd size pans in induction suitable construction but finding specific replacements may take research and may be expensive. Here's some info that I gathered in my recent stove-buying expedition that may help you along with your research. Induction suitable crepe pans are made by the likes of DeBuyer and maybe even Lodge. I saw recently that Lodge has now started selling some low sided carbon steel frying pans so they might have a crepe pan. French carbon steel crepe pans, IIRC, used to come with a beeswax coating but may still require seasoning. In the meantime, depending on what you cook in the crepe pan, and how hot you need it to get, you might be able to continue using your present crepe pan by getting an induction interface disk. Max Burton makes one that has been discussed here and was recently reviewed at Cooks Illustrated and can be had from numbers of stores including Chef's Catalog and Amazon. According to CI, the disk will work reasonably well for making things like pancackes where it will function rather like a pan on radiant-smoothtop electric stove. For the same reason, it seems to be less suitable for high heat applications. Here's a link to the CI write-up on the disk: http://www.cooksillustrated.com/equipment/overview.asp?docid=36350 Spanning burners with large oval dutch ovens and rectangular griddles is sometimes feasible and sometimes not. I'm not familiar with cooktops, but I do know that the GE induction ranges (freestanding (PHB925 and PHB915, slide-in PHS925) have twin 8-inch burners on the left which GE told me can be spanned (and for which the equal sizing makes heat management pretty easy). Samsung's NE599NOPBSR and NE597NOPBSR freestanding induction ranges have twin rectangular burners which are specifically designed to be be linked for such purposes (Samsung calls this a "flex zone"). The other Samsung induction ranges and the Maytag, Kitchenaid, Whirlpool and Frigidaire induction ranges are not set-up in a way that permits spanning and I believe the manuals for some of them expressly forbid spanning/bridging. With regard to cooktops, many of them have burner arrangements where it is not physically feasible to span burners with griddles or large dutch ovens. Several also forbid spanning. I have read that LG makes a cooktop that is designed with bridgeable elements and comes with its own griddle. And, of course, there are the newly available (new for the US, anyway) "zoneless" induction cooktops where bridging is not an issue because the cooktop sinply heats around whatever pan shape and size is place on it. I think there have been a couple of threads on them, or at least the one by Thermador. A search should turn them up. The speckled "Graniteware" roasting pans that I've owned have been magnetic steel and will work on an induction burner. But, they are thin which means you have to be very watchful with heat management. Of course you must be watchful with such thin-steel pans on any other kind of stove, as well, but induction hobs bring the pans to heat so quickly that they can require additional vigilence.

Comments (3)Teresa & Shaun : It was delicious !!!!!!!!! My friend and his wife ate 2 servings each. I like to make Recipes, more than follow them. When I do another, think I'll add some Shrimp and take my time, to make it look more like a Fish. - - - - - - - - - - - - - The Recipe can be used for Baked Crab or Fish Cakes. It is similar to my Baked Salmon Cakes Recipe. Just make Patties, bake them awhile, brush on some butter and put them under the Broiler , a few minutes, until they are a Golden brown....See MoreFish Stock. Advice & uses needed!
Comments (19)Here's my crab asparagus soup recipe: Crab Asparagus Soup Ingredients: 2 pounds asparagus 6 stalks celery 1 onion 2 serrano peppers 4 cups water 1 tsp crab soup base 1 tsp lobster soup base 1 tsp Thai fish sauce 1/4 teaspoon Chinese chili paste (or to taste) 1 pound crab meat Soy sauce to taste Remove the tips from the asparagus and reserve. Coarsely chop the asparagus stems, celery, onion, and Serrano peppers and put in a stock pan with the water. Bring to a boil and simmer covered for 45 minutes. Blend the mixture in a food processor or use a hand-held blender to purée. Strain the puréed mixture through a China cap into another soup pan or bowl and force as much purée through as possible, leaving the stringy pulp to be discarded. Return the liquid to the heat and add the soup base, fish sauce, and chili paste. You can substitute a dash of cayenne for the chili paste. Add the asparagus tips and simmer for about 3-5 minutes, but do not overcook the tips. Add the crab meat and remove from heat. Adjust seasonings with soy sauce and/or chili paste and serve immediately. 2003 Lars Theoderik *Note: you can substitute fish stock for some or all of the water and omit the soup base, but then you will need to add about 1 tsp salt (or to taste), since I use the soup base in place of salt. It's best not to add too much salt, and I generally serve it with soy sauce. You can also cut the recipe in half, but I haven't done this, as it goes pretty quickly.

Comments (37)OH yeah I can't throw those coffee "cans" away! I use them for my Borax and Washing Soda and for sidewalk salt in the winter and I also have one for use as a bird seed scoop. I then use a milk gallon jug with the bottom cut out as a funnel to put the feed into the little hole on top. I alway keep smaller pickle jars to put big jars of half used up pickles in to so it doesn't take up so much room in my NOT SO ROOMY fridge! UGH! OH and speaking of pickles, when I buy some that aren't that great tasting, I will slice them into chunks and pour some hamburger dill juice on them(wait a few days before eating), it turns even the nastiest pickle into something yummy!:) Unloved shampoo or body wash can be used to clean your tub with, just put it on a scrubbie sponge and clean. IMHO it cleans the tub as well as anything else and it's safe! I also reuse unwanted body wash to fill those foaming soap dispensers, just use half water and half soap...works great! I can't part with my jugs of shampoo and conditioner with the squirt top..I just put whatever shampoo and conditioner I'm using into them. So who knows my Paul Mitchell bottle is really just 79cent VO5! HAHAHA! I really just use them for convenience sake...no one ever comes over to see my tub anyway...HA! Small box bottoms make great drawer organizers for small stuff. OH I always use those bottles that stuff like seltzer water come in for the bar for putting water in for our daily walk. They are the perfect size to fit into my Coleman insulated holder that I bought at Walmart but HATED the bottle that comes with them(it leaked like crazy!). I use them a while until I buy a new bottle of seltzer water then I throw it away and use my new one....See More- 12 years ago
