Cooking Hints

This is a page devoted to cooking hints that we have found helpful over the years.

In our opinion a Meat Thermometer is one of the most valuable items in the kitchen. It takes all the guess work out of cooking chicken, turkey, roast beef and roast pork. We use a digital one that we found at one of the major grocery stores. The price is very reasonable ($15.00C).

The small appliances are also very important. Over the years, we have found that it is more important to go for quality rather than quantity, especially for frequently used items such as hand mixers, hand blenders and food processors. Important items to note are ease of cleaning, the amount of power, usually listed in amps (the higher the amps, the higher the power) MORE POWER IS BETTER.
