Cooking & Recipes - October 2006

I bought my first crock pot last year; its a West Bend 6 qt. I soon realized that it cooks its contents very very fast. I could make a pot roast and fill it very close to the top with liquid and with in 3.5-4 hours the liquid is pretty much evaporated. I tried some other recipes and had the same thing happen. I did a search on the internet and learned that others are having the same issue; even with other brands, like Rival. Well, I don't need 6 qt since I am only cooking for myself anyway, so I bought a Hamilton Beach brand 3 qt crock. Before using it, I pulled out the instruction manual. It says that "...this crockpot reaches its cooking temp much quicker then older crocks and so cooking times should be shortened..." or something to that effect. This is very frustrating. I ended up taking this one back. So, is there actually a crock pot AKA "slow cooker" sold today that cooks SLOW? My grandmas 30 year old crock does a fine job. Why don't they make them like this anymore?

Take cheesecloth, soak it in at least a pound of butter, fold it 3 levels thick, cover salted or spiced turkey with cloth. Baste and cook as usual, keeping cheesecloth moist with butter. Cook until done, cheesecloth may very well be black. That's okay....turkey underneath is brown and juicy.

I'm a fan of edamame or edible soy beans. But I've grown bored with just boiling them with salt. Is there any other way to cook these delicious beans? Thanks!

I am looking for a recipe that all the ingredients go into a jar dry. You can decorate the jar or whatever if you want, and give it away with minimal additions to make it into a soup or cookie. I first saw this done called "Friendship Soup"
Thanks! :D

yesterday I made a carrot/butternut/sweet potato soup. I used the hand-blender, which is made of white plastic.

the part of the blender which was used in the soup it now has a yellow/orange tinge.

Any ideas how I get it white again, please? I can't really put it in bleach, I assume

Thanks
