what should one look out for when choosing to buy a pressure cooker?

No bluetooth or display screens, as few controls as possible, at least 6 quarts, 8 is better. I have an Instant Pot and like it but it's the only pressure cooker I've owned.

The fish market had wahoo steaks on the cheap yesterday so I picked some up to grill for dinner tonight. Should I just season this like I would any other white fish, or do y'all have some secret wahoo seasoning tech that would be good to try?

Ha I didn't even notice it. Grilling shrimps is pretty straight forward though. So just grill em and throw them on top when you're done with the sauce and noodles.

Edit: Could be that we usually have to type it out instead of copy pasta stuff from recipes we like because, while giving you the recipe they want to tell you about how they were inspired by fireworks from their 4th of july. Where they were in a bad spot in their relationship with their husband and had just changed their kids adhd meds and it was causing more stress in their relationship. God I loving hate some recipe sites.

I tried pan saute with some garlic and then parmesan cheese, but I was pretty underwhelmed. It wasn't terrible but it was just kind of bitter and eh.

I used to have a GF who would horde slightly different types of those rubbermaid style containers and few things are more infuriating to me now than digging through a pile of slightly-different red lids to find - not only a lid of the approximate size and shape of the container I've got - but also the particular sub-shade of red that I'm supposed to know is paired with one of three or four slightly-different lip-types on a container. Some lid types fit on other container types but would leak all over your lunchbox/car/pants/whatever.

She kept all the lids in a straw hat-turned-bowl on a pantry shelf that would tip the gently caress over and spill everything onto the floor very frequently.

She was cool otherwise but that was one thing that drove me goddamn nuts. I'm sensitive about containers now and I only keep two distinct box sizes with easy to ID lids.

I'm sorry, but were you dating my mom?

My dad will be so disappointed. But at least he and I will have someone to talk about our tupperware woes with.

Legit the worst fight my parents ever had (acording to them) was over a ricotta cheese container, which my father now demands to be cremated and stored in.

Pick off any wilted leaves, then wrap in a baaaarely damp paper towel (or cloth if you're feeling fancy). Lasts about 2 weeks in the crisper drawer of your fridge. It tends to go brown unevenly, so even after 2 weeks you can probably salvage 1/3 or so for another week.

Infuse cream or simple syrup: heat either liquid to ~190°F (maximum up to a bare simmer but definitely not boiling) then add the mint. Leave for an hour to infuse while it cools, then use in cocktails, sodas, ice cream, whipped cream, whatever.

Add to hearty summer salads/sautees/succotashes, about 1/8 - 1/4 cup loose leaves per person, chopped. Here's one example and I've added mint https://to and served it as a side instead of a taco.

[url=http://www.mynewroots.org/site/2012/09/whole-roasted-tandoori-cauliflower-with-mint-chutney/Mint chutney with tandoori cauliflower[/url] or anything else that pairs well with yogurt sauce, like zucchini fritters

It's frequently used in recipes that call for "mixed herbs", where it partners well with basil, parsley, and, depending on the dish, tarragon.

I'm making a pasta salad using angel hair, some other stuff, and mozzarella. My mozz is in a big block. What shape should I cut the pieces in to ensure my salad isn't a bowl with mozz on the bottom and pasta on the top (but you can still get it on a fork)?

Cut the mozzarella into 1"x1.5" rectangles, then get your sharpest paring knife out and tourne them.

Parcook the green lentils, then add the red. Or add them at the same time and let the masoor turn into mush for some soupy texture.

HAPPY MORNING
My fiance and I are getting together with her family this weekend and I'm planning to make this delicious peanut chicken recipe but the kitchen where we're going isn't used/stocked all the time and we're bringing up ingredients with us.

For sanity's sake, do you think it would be OK if I combined some of the sauce ingredients (namely the soy sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, and maybe the red pepper flakes) tonight and then mixed them with the remaining stuff tomorrow when we get there, or would that somehow make things weird?

As a general guideline:

Are any of these opposite pH wrt 7?
Do any of these have active enzymes? (Fresh alliums and fresh citrus are the biggest ones)
Will any of these spoil if their water, sugar, or acid content changes?

If all these answers are "no", you're usually good to go. In your case, you're fine.

Can anyone else think of good guidelines here?

Y'all know that absorbent pad that comes in a package of meat? When we started the crock pot beef this morning, we accidentally let that dump in there and it's been heating on low like that for hours.

Is my pepper beef a lost cause?
