Recommendations for pans, starting from scratch!
Comments (37)I've used the old Revereware since I got married 28 years ago - until DH bought me a SET of All Clad for Christmas. I actually think the set was a good idea as it did include exactly the type of pans I would want and was a better value than purchasing individually. He got a recommendation for what to buy and where from a friend of ours who happens to be a great cook and a kitchen designer as well. He got them online at Metro Kitchens. The set included: 10" Nonstick Fry Pan, 2 qt. Sauce Pan with Lid, 3 qt. Sauce Pan with Lid, 3 qt. Saute Pan with Lid, 6 qt. Stock Pot with Lid. I like having a non-stick pan for eggs. I notice the biggest difference with the All Clad with things I make in the saute pan and the small sauce pan. Boiling corn on the cob or steaming vegetables is no different in All Clad than it was in Revereware so the difference with the other pans hasn't been as noticeable yet. However I've only had them for six months so lots of YEARS ahead to truly take advantage of them. However on the other hand I got along just fine for 28 years with the much less expensive Revereware. So in my opinion there's no need to purchase All Clad the first time you buy cookware. Though I'm not sure you'd get them as a wedding gift - one pan may be out of the wedding gift price range of alot of people....See Morefried chicken and waffles yay :o)
Comments (29)Lizzy, I think that's an even better idea than chicken on the bone, and here chicken is removed from the bone, added to the gravy and spooned over the waffles, much like your version I'd guess, except the chicken is fried. Many times chicken "strips" or "fingers" are used. Renee, you're right about regional dishes even within a state. Elery moved to Michigan when he was 11, but he spent his childhood in Tennessee and had never heard of chicken and waffles, although I thought it was a "southern thing". He was astounded when I dragged out the sorghum molasses to put on my cornbread, and said that was a southern thing but I've been doing it all my life and I was born here in Michigan. Of course, he claims that Grandma had to be from the south because of the way she cooked, but she grew up in Ohio. A little searching revealed that Grandma's stepmother, who raised her from a very young age and taught her to cook, was from Kentucky. So some of her cooking "migrated" to Michigan with Grandma and my kids grew up eating what is considered by some to be "traditional southern cooking". I guess after a couple of generations, the way people move around, anything can become a regional specialty! As for the chicken and waffles with syrup, I know a lot of people who will cover their sausage with syrup when they have breakfast, so chicken with syrup is no stranger than that, I've just always seen it served with gravy and never for breakfast.

Comments (13)My MIL used to make a country fried steak that my kids and DH loved...I hated...! She said the secret was to get a 1 1/2 inch thick piece of round steak, and work a lot of flour into it. She said you take the edge of a plate and just pound that flour in until there is much worked in as you can get....then brown it on both sides in hot Crisco, add a little water and cover and simmer until it's tender. She probably also added a can of cream of.... soup! When we would go away and would leave the kids with her....that was her special treat. They chose to go to Grandma's even after they were well old enough to stay alone because of that durned country fried steak!...See MoreTeriyaki Chicken & Stir Fried Vegetables
Comments (11)Teryaki keeps well in the refrigerator. I do something very similar but my method is diefferent. When I prepare the veggies, I keep them separate on a big stainless pizza pan I have. Then drain the chicken, saving the marinade, heat the wok, add the oil and when hot stir fry the chicken and when no longer pink, remove into a clean pie dish, wipe the wok, add a little wine...rice wine or sherry or just plain white wine, to the reserved marinade, add about 1 1/2 T cornstarch and stir. Then heat the wok, add the oil and begin to fry the veggies, I start with the broccoli and carrot buttons( I don't grate) and celery sliced on the diagonal as they take longest, then add the onions and the green peppers and soon after the peas. When all had browned a little, I add the cornstarch marinade stuff.....and toss to coat all and bring to a boil, put the lid on and cook for a minute. I am a little goosey about reusing a chicken marinade without cooking it well, so I often dump the marinade and get some fresh terayaki to mix with the wine and cornstarch. BUT...LOL...with my method you don't have that extra fry pan to wash !! Now I am hungry for a nice chicken ( or shrimp!) stir fry! Linda C...See More- 7 years ago
