First-time users of the KitchenAid ice cream maker attachment would definitely find the following tips handy. The ice cream maker attachment from KitchenAid may be one of the more durable models out in the market, but its hardy design won’t be proof to users who do not have a clue about the right ways of using it.

To start with, you should never use any kind of dishwasher to wash the freeze bowl that comes with it. You should wash it manually and avoid using extremely strong detergents.

You will know when the freeze bowl is ready for use when even the liquid within its two-layered walls are frozen. It’s very important to remember as well that the freeze bowl must indeed be completely frozen before you can start using it to make ice cream.

For spreading, mixing, and scraping, you will have to make use of the dasher. This is attached to the drive assembly of the household stand mixer.

Cleaning Stainless Steel Pans from Eggs Stuck on the Bottom

Often when you are cooking with stainless steel pans, you will find that you need to change your way of cooking or you will be cleaning stainless steel pans from eggs that will surely get stuck to the bottom of the pan. If you are not using a non-stick pan for eggs, you will need to preheat your pan properly and add enough oil or butter to ensure that the eggs don’t stick. The best method to cook the eggs and prevent it from sticking is to heat the pan thoroughly and add a little bit of butter, not oil, to the pan before putting your eggs in. If you preheat the stainless steel pan with 20% heat for 10 to 15 minutes before using the pan, you will ensure that there is even heat distribution throughout the bottom of the pan. Regardless, if your eggs are sticking, you can use a green scouring pad to remove the stuck on eggs or use some baking soda mixed with water before scrubbing.

Getting Meals Ready for Christmas

Choke Tube Muzzle Dimensions + or - .0015I am hosting the Christmas festivities this year and I want to break out my famous smoked BBQ recipe. It is an awesome dish, and I can cook it using a pressure cooker in about 30 minutes. In my opinion, I have the best pressure cooker available on the market with a Fagor Duo pressure cooker.

Some people get freaked out by using a pressure cooker because of all the old wives tales they have heard. I have added a video below that explains how to use one and is a demonstration from Fagor Duo. Learning how to properly use a pressure cooker is very rewarding because you can make several tasty meals in a short time if you know how to use it correctly. The secret is in its ability to raise the cooking temperature inside the pot by using pressure. This raises the boiling temperature of the water. And, because the moisture is locked inside that means that you do not lose any of the taste, consistency or nutritional value you would lose in a traditional cooking format.
