Rich, I've been buying the 6-packs of 6-ounce cans of pineapple juice and the 10-oz bottles of very good Martinelli apple juice to avoid wasting things that I don't ordinarily drink. Saves one step and freezer space.

Another trick: Put 2 glass marbles in the pot when filling it. They will clatter when the water comes to a boil. Scoop them out before adding food. I was going to try it but didn't want to buy a whole bag of marbles. Of course not filling the pot so full would help too. :)

Thank you for the recipe. I always forget about white balsamic vinegar. I must try it in your recipe. I make a similar potato salad and also like celery in it, but occasionally find that my potato salad has gotten a little watery after standing a while or overnight. The culprit was the...

This method must have been posted before...I have a Weber Genesis, about 2-3 years old. I turn about 1/3 of my grill grates (I have enough to completely cover my grill surface) flat-side up and have found that I can get an overall sear/char very nicely on the first side on the flat side of the...

If nothing else, you might find out who is calling by checking: http://800notes.com/ ...and then blocking future calls from that number, but it is an ongoing, laborious task. They are taking over the phone network and no one is doing anything about it because it brings in income to the phone...

Inspired, Geir! Creative as always! You're right; so much of the thin marinade simply winds up dripping off. It's been ages since I made Roadside Chicken. Time to do it again. Some might make it a little differently, but I usually set aside a portion for basting first and then marinate the...

Bob, as usual, you have started a great thread with so many possibilities. Could you possibly rename it something like Kitchen Hacks? Or Chis, possibly a new category for Kitchen Hacks? This would be so great as an additional category in the threads list. Would you be able to rename this...

A thicker board would be less likely to warp, plus the extra weight would make it more stable. It's a pleasure to chop on a thick board and feel how it seems to absorb the shock of the knife. (That last poetic part was my personal opinion.) Rita Mac, I had written this post an hour ago and...

JeffB, the Weston vacuum savers are getting good reviews and one was rated a best buy in a Cook's Illustrated Book reviews. They are built more solidly than the FoodSavers I hear. I will probably switch when my FoodSaver gives out. They are pricier than FoodSavers though...

It's been a long dry spell between news updates but things seem to be rolling again for Glen Lee. Check his May 8, 2016 post on his website. Rita

Thank you Ray. BTW, for any others, this is Charles's thread and his loss; I'd prefer not to hijack it. Thanks. Charles, something that you wrote has helped me immensely. Thank you for that. Gratefully, Rita

Charles, I'm grieving with you. My wonderful husband of the best 56 years of my life just went into home Hospice care a couple of days ago. I'm with you in mind and spirit, my friend. From the heart, Rita

I also have a Genesis which I love but have been concerned about the almost free-wheeling knobs. I too have accidentally turned one on when trying to cover my grill during the winter when the cover, which is bulky, stiffens up. I only discovered it when I smelled gas (I'm connected to our...

Pork Butt steaks. Cut 1" or 1.5" thick from the butt. Here in Atlanta they are often sold as Country Ribs, which have a rather wide profile. No matter. They are good. Rita

I'll second the Kevin Kruger sauce recipes. Especially the one with the pineapple. That's my go-to recipe, although I also use some of his others....the one with the coffee or the rub with the ground coffee.

Fantastic photos, Bob! I've forwarded them on. Howard, our annual hummingbird papa (I'd like to think he is still "our" Harold) who favors the North Feeder which is in front of my computer, came knocking on my window a few days ago. As he was hovering, he had that stare right into my...

Clint, Penzey's has DEHYDRATED JALAPENOS. Warning....Penzey's is a bit behind the times. When doing a search, they are still using the old-fashioned spelling ("chili" peppers) instead of the currently used "chile" peppers (to distinguish the pure peppers from the stew). I gently alerted them...

I have a pretty extensive cookbook library and have found this site quite useful. They index books by main ingredients, titles, authors, type of recipe, etc. You can add the books you own to your personal library and search them all for a particular recipe or ingredient. There are many...

Len, 800 NOTES is a good site to check on these numbers: http://800notes.com/Phone.aspx/1-844-337-8110 I get 4 or 5 bad calls a day. I don't answer the phone unless I recognize the caller. As often as I can, I look up the numbers. These people are holding us hostage, loathe to pick up our...

I'm on a spaghetti squash bender right now. The best way I have found to cook the squash so that the strands are not watery or soggy is at: http://www.cookscountry.com/recipes/8521-spaghetti-squash-salad-with-chickpeas-and-feta It surely could be adapted to the grill. (Don't call me...
