What Are You Having For Dinner

[WVDragonlady]

I'm baking some chicken breasts today. I think instead of marinating them I'll coat them in some seasoned bread crumbs.
And I'm in the mood for some stove top stuffing lol
I'm leaning towards green beans to go with it all

Had banana, part of orange, for dessert.
Very good.
Lunch was chili dog, corn chips , pear.
Tomorrow have no clue.

Seen the top blow completely off.
Not just the cock but the whole dang lid.
My aunt was making spaghetti sauce when the lid blew.
The lid had enough force behind it that it embedded itself in the ceiling.
Had spaghetti sauce that had to scraped off the ceiling.
My grandpa was quite upset.

Pressure cooker and canners are built with pressure safety valves. If the pressure gets to high there is a rubber plug in the lid that pops out and releases the pressure.

We had some over cooked chicken fried steaks and wet mashed potatoes. The gravy was perfect though!! My sister is learning to cook.....

Didn't see gasket on grandmother's pressure canner.
But it was ancient when aunt got it.
I remember it whistling when the cock popped.
Sorry it was many years ago.
My new pressure cooker/canner I like not scared of it.
It's electric, aunt's sat on stove.

Broiled salmon, rice, broccoli

I've seen some really old ones that only had the valve the weight sat on. If that got clogged.... Later there were more safety feature added.

Bowl of cereal, orange, coffee

Making our own pizzas. Movie night. Watching more of the Firefly series (again)

Tonight I steamed some gulf shrimp and made fries in the air fryer. I got to break in my new bamboo basket steamer, my old one was on its last bamboo splinter. I got it in the fall of ’89. I believe I got my money out of it.

 

[Bacpacker]

Wife did a roast in the crockpot all day. Falling apart tonight. Along with some mac and cheese and coleslaw.

 

[snappy1]

Veggies from veggie tray with light ranch dressing and fruit from fruit tray at Birthday gathering. A little popcorn when I got home.

 

[GrannyG]

Neighbor gave me some lovely turnips...so many people will not eat greens or turnips....diced them, in the crockpot with chicken stock....cooked high for several hours, then added lots of diced turnip greens, leftover hamburger/onion/garlic mix from supper last night....some diced jalapeno peppers, rotel tomatoes.....and YUMMY.....good with cornbread.....

 

[Terri9630]

I used a jar of chicken and some fettuccini noodles and made up some chicken Alfredo. Didn't get the sauce quite right but it was still good.

You steam shrimp in a bamboo steamer? It's been a long time since I've seen one. Please tell how you use it. Do you have photo or link?

I like my bamboo steamer, use it pretty regularly.

Not rocket science… Any pot over 4 quarts your basket will sit level on… in my case a 6q pot. I add 3 pints of water, bring to boil.

I put the basket on top and wait a few more minutes until steam is leaking out everywhere.

I toss in the shrimp and steam for 4min 45sec… just when red gulf shrimp start to pop red. The size and amount of the shrimp will vary cooking time.

Pics 1&2 new basket, Pic 3 old basket… taps playing softly in the background…

Sort of funny, the reason I remember when I got my first bamboo basket… I was stuck in a hotel in Philly PA for a week. There was an advertisement for a “Hand Hammered Wok” with an 800 number, over and over again.

I was fresh out of the Navy, getting a new job which would mean an apt or house. I loved Chinese food. Even better it came with a bamboo basket for steaming.

Having spent the last 4 years on the shores of the Chesapeake Bay… I loved lots of seafood steamed.

I called the 800 number, only time in my life I ever ordered anything off the tv.

Edit... I have to add... I cooked food in that bamboo basket for 30 years... Show me a Teflon skillet that will last that long.

 

[Amish Heart]

That's cool. I've never seen that before.

 

[Patchouli]

Awesome, @Peanut !!!
Thanks. It's bigger than I thought it would be.

 

[Peanut]

@Patchouli most bamboo baskets are 12 inches in diameter. The ones I use are 10 inches in diameter. A 10 inch works best for most regular pots folks would have in their kitchen, fits better.

If you are using a big wok a 12 inch would be fine.

I have 2 ricers, most ricers can be used for steaming. One has a glass lid so I can see when something is done, but its tiny. My big ricer doesn't have a see through lid, bad. A bamboo basket makes it easy to monitor cooking, especially shrimp, which can go from perfect to over done in a blink.

 

[Patchouli]

It doesn't absorb the scent of shrimp? That would be my concern.

The price now [ like everything else ] has almost doubled but lid won't blow with this one.
We had one of the other ones blow up like a balloon but it didn't explode thank goodness.
So we bit the bullet and bought this All American Canner for $360 about 7 years ago. It more than paid for itself first year.

We are cooking chicken today too. One hen will make several meals, pot pies, stir fry and dumplings .

BacP that sounds really tender. I need to buy another crock pot ours broke several years ago.

 

[Amish Heart]

I've got the same one, Meer. It was pricey, but worth it. Made in America and no rubber gasket to replace

Sometimes on the cheaper ones it doesn't work. Our Presto was one of those.

We're having some fried chicken from walmart lol I also picked up some potato salad to go with it. We'll have a picnic while its sleeting and snowing today
