What the heck should I cook for my in-laws?
So, I'm a white girl married to a very American Mexican man. His family tends to cook traditional Mexican meals & once in while meatball sandwiches or hamburgers.
I love to cook & want to make them a the Cajun dish of red beans & rice (sorta like gumbo) with a salad & bread. After I told him, he made a comment that his family is Mexican. I know his family well & think they'd like it. I think it is just him wanting his mom to cook. I don't want to put them to work when they come down. ... (Asked by SpringChick)

Go with the red beans and rice, only throw in a little more tomatoes and peppers, and call it Spanish Rice. You could serve it in a green pepper, kinda like a stuffed pepper.
Along with you could serve crab cakes or fish tacos, for something a little unusual.
For a good appetizer, a friend of mine rolled the following mixture in tortillas and then cut them into bite sized pieces: cream cheese, salsa, shredded cheese, and black olives.
You never know, you could introduce them to something that they end up really loving....(Answered by Sara K) |

You only need to use oil if you are frying or sauteing meat (chicken, pork or red meat).
If you use a grill pan, you do not add oil. You would just season or marinate the meat- red meat, pork or chicken before cooking. Even seasoning with just salt and pepper is good. The key is to not over cook the meat, then it is nice and juicy.
You also do not use oil if you roast or broil meats in the oven.
Cooking spray is another way to cut down on the use of oil.

How come when I cook chicken the bread crumbs burn but the chicken doesn't cook enough?
I am cooking a recipe from Betty Crocker, the Ranch Chicken, and when I cook it on Medium-High heat, the (store bought) bread crumbs burn but the chicken isn't cooked through. Being a *really* novice cook, I'm freaking out because the crumbs are black, but the chicken inside isn't cooked at all! What gives? What am I doing wrong? Do I need to flatten the chicken?

well, your burner may cook too hot, each ranges 'medium high' cooks a little differently. Try cooking med or med low, you can cook the meat then turn it up to brown, just keep an eye on it. The thing about cooking, it's trial and error, keep it going you'll get the hang of it, happy cooking :-)...(Answered by Jesus is Love) |

How do I cook thick pieces of meat without burning the outside?
Whenever I try to cook a thick chicken breast or sausage, I end up burning the outside and not cooking the inside through. What am I doing wrong?
I would try cooking with a lower flame (my stove is gas), but I want to make sure that I cook at a high enough temperature so as to kill all the bacteria.
Furthermore, I cook a lot with the George Foreman grill where you can't regulate heat or anything. Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks!

You actually run more risk by eating the undercooked center than by cooking at low temperatures. The way that I cook chicken on a stove is by first cooking it at a high temperature to brown the outside, about 5 minutes a side, and then reducing the temperature and covering it and cooking it for about 15 minutes to ensure the inside is cooked completely. Before removing from the heat I usually check the fattest section and ensure that it is still not pink in the middle. The temperature required for killing the bacteria is not necessarily ...(Answered by djk) |

Best way to cook a steak with no grill?
I really want to make a strip steak tonight, but I have never made it without a grill before. I was going to try to cook it in a pan on the stove, but I don't know exactly how to do that. I could really appreciate some tips, like how long to cook it, if I cook it in oil, if I marinate it and what tempature to cook it at. (I like it medium/ medium-rare) Is there a better way to cook it? Thanks, I really appreciate the answers!

Season steak as you normally would. Set your oven to 350. Heat a skillet over med high to high heat until it gets really hot. Put the steak on for 1-2 minutes on each side to sear in the juices. Then, put the steak in the oven until desired doneness. The searing process keeps the juices in so when you bake it, it doesn't dry out....(Answered by ck) |

I personally would cook it like this: get a nice big cast iron skillet, cook off the bacon and sausages and hold them in a warm oven, then pour off the grease into a heatproof container, and use some of it to cook your scrambled eggs!
As for microwaving....Ew. I suppose you *could* cook your meat in a microwave, but kiss any browning (i.e. flavor) you'd get from pan-cooking goodbye. Just yuck.
If you *must* mic it and you don't want your sausage to explode, make sure you prick some holes in the casing, but you can still expect both the bacon ...(Answered by nobody important) |
