I found a really interesting book at the Dr’s office a few days ago, came home and ordered a used one on Amazon for $6.00. An 880 page book packed full of info that is fascinating. He is a bit of a fanatic but full of tips/hints and suggestions – many I hadn’t heard of nor thought of. Libraries may have the book, but I just can’t stand giving books like this back… J
The first example I found interesting – re “quick broiling”
Preheat broiler as usual, but place a shallow metal pan under the heat of the broiler for 10 min. (for fish – right below the heat/for chicken – down closer to the middle of the oven). Season product and place on hot pan – don’t need any oil because the pan is so hot, it immediately seals the meat on the bottom and keeps the meat from sticking. Return the meat under the broiler – it will now cook rapidly from both sides and not need to be turned. Cooking time is very quick.
Anyway, I’m finding lots of info on methods for cooking/preparing foods I’ve never tried before.
