Still On A Pickling

September 2nd, 2020 at 08:32 am » Comments (0)

Still seem to be on a Pickle adventure – although it did not list my personal favorite, interesting ideas. Blasphemy I know… but I will skip the Beer – nothing will ever make me really enjoy beer

The pickle sandwich was one of my favorites, I can see these cut into bite size with a frilly tooth pick on a party platter.







Pickle Liquid Is An Essential

August 11th, 2020 at 08:32 am » Comments (1)

Sometimes I have to wonder – is it a case of all great minds think alike OR beyond looking at products I have looked at on line, are they tapping into my brain.
A few weeks ago I took a Corned Beef Flat out of the freezer, but was “horrified” to find we were not only out of dill pickles, but SOMEONE who shall remain nameless that thought it was a good idea to pour out the remaining juice – a form of greenish gold used by me for corned beef AND pastrami prep –
We will not talk about my first attempt to (a) prepare the brisket with improvised pickle juice or (b) the result which can only be classified as edible but not up to par. Not even Darth Vader my 6.5 Ninja Foodi could make up for the loss that pickling liquid provides.

Today, this article was linked in the Epicuious “Cook this Now” Email
With that in mind, I was surprised to find how many of these suggestions I already use, but some may find them useful.

P.S. if anyone has a favorite recipe for Refrigerator Dill Pickles, please share a link I will be “in your debt” and so will the guy in the other room.
P.S. jr : Claussen is our preferred brand since we no longer live where pickles are in a wooden barrel in the corner of the deli.

Tortillas de Harina – Flour Tortilla

August 9th, 2020 at 09:52 am » Comments (0)

If you are gluten free, scroll on by, but in our house flatbreads are a basic – One of the easiest to make is the Flour Tortilla and you can wrap them around pretty much anything –

Whether you use the recipe linked below, or just want an easy to keep pre-made warm, we keep the warmer shown above Tortilla Warmer handy at all times – Flat breads are best in my opinion whether baked or reheated on a baking stone. I use the include pan for my Ninja Foodi to hold my Pizza stones

Pizza, flatbreads, calzone, and yes Flour Tortillas bake and heat best on a Pizza Stone like the above 12×12 inch square we use for Padme – Ninja’s Digital Oven. ( use the included pan to make it easier to manage the stone )

Consider wrapping a flour tortilla around your Kabob with fresh grilled corn on the cob as a side.

Ninja Foodi Cart Tuesday Tiplet

August 4th, 2020 at 00:16 am » Comments (0)

This Tuesday Tiplet is my answer to the often asked question about a cart for you Ninja Foodi

The Seville Classics 3-Tier – NSF-Certifed Cart,
allows me to adjust the height of the top shelf. It also is “just wide enough” for Darth Vader, an original Foodi 6.5qt & as the 8 qt has the same footprint so useful for both sizes of the Pressure Cooker /Air Crisp units. I assume it will also work for the smaller 5qt model.

The height adjustment allows one to have it be lower which – in my opinion benefits anyone because it is easier to “get inside” than when it is on a usual countertop.

I often need to sit in the kitchen for mobility medical reasons, the Seville Cart‘s ability to be adjusted lower is critical. It also makes it much easier to get a grip on the rim to remove the inner pan and lift onto the counter or into the sink.
Since many older kitchens mean you need to use different electrical outlets to avoid blowing fuses etc, another reason for wheels.

Note, I do use a UL listed appliance extension cord. to avoid absent minded disaster – the Ninja cord is secured to the cart. Although I (so far) have remembered to disconnect before moving the cart – it always best to plan for an absent minded moment.

The other shelves are useful for storing frequently used accessories and even though the lower top means one shelf may have more limited height, it is a handy place for the PC Lid and Dehyrdrator Rack pieces.

The Cart’s wheels can be locked a feature I recommend for safety reasons.

I original used these carts in my booth at craft shows, originally purchased them (almost 20 years ago) directly from Seville. the affiliate links in this article connect to Amazon

Because this is related for commercial kitchens, its wheels can be locked as needed.

I use the space between the side of the cart and the handle for a basket to hold silicone accessories frequently used with Darth Vader, I originally purchased them from Seville for use my booth at craft shows more than 20 years ago.

If needed, you can assemble without the handle.
