The Complete Meat Cookbook

First to recommend

2 people recommended this item

Description

THE authority on meat—best one of it’s kind that I’ve run across. Everything you needed to know about beef, lamb, pork & veal (hold the chicken). The guys give you their take on favorite cuts & why, best ways to prepare, details on different techniques from braising, broiling, roasting, searing etc.; what you should look for when you purchase, color, grain, marbling; what are the best inexpensive cuts, cooking temps & times and pics.That makes you wanna fire up the grill and call the friends over.

Calphalon V-Rack Roaster

First to recommend

Description

The V rack is the best way to go when roasting. Cooks evenly on all sides and leaves the roast chicken skin crispy at the bottom and there are few things tastier than crispy chicken skin. Clean-up is quick so more time eating & less cleaning.

Instant read thermometer

First to recommend

Description

Quick, accurate, easy to read and magnetic so never leaves the confines of the stove which I wish I liked as much as my $11 thermometer.

Auricchio Provolone

First to recommend

Description

My grandfather Antonio DiTocco used to have provolone like this 30+ yrs. ago and no visit ended till I got a sample. Don’t put it in the fridge. We Americans still don’t get this—the hard & semi hard cheeses like this provolone keep at room temp wrapped in parchment. It’ll tastes better trust Antonio. Throw this on top of some Parma prosciutto, between fresh Italian bread with xv olive oil & a dash of pepper and you will soon be very happy.

Peugeot pepper mill

4 people recommended this item

Description

Big, bold, good looking enough that other grinders feel inadequate in it’s presence. Three settings versatile, it yields enough pepper that you don’t get carpal tunnel from repetitive wrist motion. Best thing to happen to pepper since salt.

Cuisinart Power Prep Plus

First to recommend

2 people recommended this item

Description

A workhorse with horsepower. If Paul Bunyan cooked this is what he’d use. It’s tough—could puree a boot. Parmesano Reggiano is a darn hard cheese but was reduced to a wimpering fine powder after a CPPP encounter. I rarely make a meal without the go to grinder.

TiVo

54 people recommended this item

Description

Never miss a show you like while you watch another, rewind if you miss something, fast forward through commercials, program an upcoming show that you won’t be around or awake for (in case you are w/ your Simmons Back Care 200). It makes tv watching dangerously easy. Come to think of it—this led to that 5 extra lbs. I hate this product.

Dell Windows Media Center

First to recommend

2 people recommended this item

Description

With picture in picture I can answer emails, search online and not miss an inning of my Red Sox game, flip back to a movie or song on the media center. I can do this all from another room on a wireless remote—now why I need to do these things I’m not so sure...

Simmons BackCare 200 Pillow Top Mattress

First to recommend

3 people recommended this item

Description

Titanium band lumbar support helps an aching “catering” back. What you get from loading and unloading a catering truck all day. It’s not too soft ‘nd not too firm—Lil’ Red Riding hood would make this the last visit. We’ve been together 8 hrs. a day for the last 4 yrs. I have no intentions of leaving her for another.
