Win Tickets to the 3rd Annual Latke Festival at BAM, December 19

at my co-worker's father house in St. Albans, Queens—he was Chines-Jamaican and not only made the nest latkes he also made the best brisket I've ever eaten!

Cook the Book: Perfect Roasted Chicken

You can tell us the white meat was juicy till Obama closes Guantanamo and you're full of it! Surely the breast meat is overcooked at that temp and that duration!

To cook a chicken EVENLY you have to spatchcock it. Cook at 450 for 25 mins and turn the oven off.
DO NOT open the door until one hour has passed.

A Sandwich A Day: Ham and Egg Sandwich at Coluck

My assistant used to bring me a sandwich from Flushing Chinatown.
Canned corned beef—spread thin like butter on both sides of Chinese white bread. Grilled—corned beef side down. A scrambled egg was added, and it was heavenly. BTW the white bread sold in Chinese/Asian bakeries is so superior to Arnold or PepperidgeFarm. about 1/4 inch thicker slice and much better ingredients.

You truly do get what you pay for

Maldon Sea Salt @ $7 for an 8.5 oz. Box. Maldon is the King of salts. Nothing else compares to it. It is so much better than Fleur De Sel or anything else.

Trichinosis in Free-Range Pigs: Cause for Concern, or Sloppy Editing and Writing?

Besides sloppy reporting--there is also tendency to write a story to fit a preconceived conclusion. Nothing new at the "paper of record."

Rice Cooker Recommendations?

I have to agree with Buffy. Get a pot with a tight fitting lid. My son & daughter have to use a rice cooker they cannot make rice without one. They are always amazed at how good my rice is. How do you make arroz con pollo in a rice cooker?

Hazards of Eating Wild Game Shot with Lead Bullets

What a load of crap. This is like a teaser before the commercial on "Live at Five". The lead levels ranged from virtually none to 9.82 micrograms per deciliter. Health officials consider 10 micrograms per deciliter in a child to be the level when "intervention" should occur. That "intervention" level for an adult is 25 micrograms per deciliter.

There is a certain amount of irony here because most commercial meats that are government inspected are probably much more dangerous than venison, for example. Venison is very lean, and free of antibiotics, hormones, and other chemicals. If you choose to eat meat, and are careful with the way it is hunted and processed, wild game is definitely the way to go.

Turkey..without an oven

I have no oven and make this all the time. I also use boned turkey thighs. This is for a 6-8 pound breast.
Take the breast off the bone, leave the skin on.
(Make stock from the carcass for the gravy)
Heat 5-6 tablespoons of olive oil in a dutch oven till smoking.
Place the breasts skin side down and brown well over medium flame. (12 -15 min). DO NOT COVER OR skin will get mushy and soft.
Turn breasts, lower the flame and cook on medium an additional 20-25 min. Check temp with an instant read thermometer. USDA says 170 degrees. Good if you like sawdust. I go for 155 and let it rest.
Brown 2 tablespoons of flour in the pan deglaze with broth. add an add'l cup & half of broth. Reduce and spoon onto the mashed!

roast pork sandwiches?

Here is how my Dad made any left-over meat into a sandwich:
Rye bread, butter both sides, salt & pepper, thinly sliced roast pork, (or any leftover cold meat). Mayo was for wimps and mustard was for hot dogs only.
