How to Make a Great Chicago Style Stuffed Pizza

Chicago style stuffed pizza is a pizza pie based on an Italian Easter pie. It is more kin to a casserole than a typical flat, thin crust pizza. The dough can either be flaky or more like a bread dough and is filled with lots of cheese, meats and vegetables, partially baked and then topped with tomato sauce. It was apparently developed in Chicago in the 1970's by Rocco Palese, founder of Nancy's Pizzeria, although its true origins are lost in the mists of time. Many Chicago pizzerias specialize in stuffed pizza including Nancy's, Pizzeria Uno's and Giordano's.

The development of this recipe began in 2001, when I left the Chicago area and moved to the Western Slope of Colorado. My family and I live in a beautiful valley that has everything we need, except a decent pizzeria. My husband, Scott, hails from upstate New York and until he met me, had never tasted anything remotely resembling a stuffed pizza. During several trips to the Windy City to visit my dad and stepmother, he and I ate our way through stuffed pizzas from Lou Malnati's, Uno's, Gino's East, Nancy's and Giordano's. As befits a man of good taste, Scott naturally became an instant convert to the delights of Chicago style pizza, despite a deprived upbringing eating only that thin, bendable stuff that passes for pizza in New York. Fortunately for our marriage, he agreed with me that Giordano's has the best stuffed pizza around.

Upon our return to our lovely, pizza challenged valley we embarked on a mission to develop a recipe for a pizza that mimicked Giordano's stuffed pizza as closely as possible. I absolutely love their crust, its flakiness is amazing and I have tried for years to duplicate that style. After nine years, thanks to much delicious trial and error and some great advice from Buzz, a moderator from pizzamaking.com, I present to you what I believe to be the best stuffed pizza recipe west of Chicagoland. Another note, don't be intimidated by the length or scope of this recipe. It is worth every second of time you will spend making it. Just pick a snowy / rainy day and have fun in the kitchen.

Chicago Style Stuffed Pizza

Makes two large stuffed pizzas

Dough:

6 cups all purpose unbleached flour (King Arthur preferred)
1 heaping TBSP yeast
1 TBSP sea salt
2 TBSP sugar
½ cup olive oil
1 ½ cups warm water (you might need more)

Proof the yeast with an additional teaspoon of sugar in your nice 100 - 110 degree water (I use filtered water, I swear it makes a difference). Mix the flour, salt and sugar. Add yeast mixture. Use your hands to start to form the dough into a rough ball, then add the oil a little a time until it comes together into cohesive ball (it will still be a bit scrappy). Add more water if necessary.

Knead only two minutes, no kidding! This is the key to the flakiness of Giordano style pizza crust. The more you knead, the more bread like it becomes. So a short knead is the real secret!

Let the dough rise-because of the short kneading time, it will not rise very much. I let it rise for anywhere from 2 - 8 hours. The longer the better! You can also put it in the fridge overnight if you'd like, and use it the next day. Be sure that the dough is at room temperature before attempting to roll it out. Make your sauce and fillings now, so they are ready but not to hot when your crust is ready.

Once it has risen, divide the dough into 4 equal pieces, and repeat the following process for each crust. Roll each one thin with a rolling pin. If it wants to bounce back, let it rest 10 minutes or so. Then fold the dough in quarters, let it rest a little and roll it out flat and thin again (it should be at least 12" in diameter). You can repeat the rolling a third time, I encourage you to try it. Think puff pastry! This creates that flakiness I love in Giordano's crust.

Once it's rolled flat and thin for the final time, immediately put one crust in a greased 12" deep dish pan (I use olive oil). (I have several preferred pans; my current favorites are a Le Creuset paella pan and a dark metal, heavy duty, deep dish pizza pan. We've also used a great old cast iron skillet) The size of the dough should be larger than the pan, so drape it over, press it down, and cut off the edges. Now get right to work stuff your pizza. Don't let the dough rise in the pan.

Fill your crust with your fillings in the following order:

Cheese (grated or sliced) about 8 - 12 oz for the bottom
Spinach or Sausage filling (see following recipes)
Cheese again (grated or sliced) another 8 - 12 oz. here
Now drape another crust over your filling, seal the edges well and fold over for a pretty edge. (See picture.)
With a sharp knife, cut several air vents in the top of your creation.

Put in a HOT oven. I recommend 450 degrees, but experiment with any temp from 425 - 500, depending on your pan.

Check after 10 - 15 minutes. When it's starting to brown slightly, pull your pizza out and put your tomato sauce on top. I prefer a thin layer of sauce. (My favorite sauce recipe follows, but you can use any good tomato sauce.) Then top your pizza with fresh grated Parmesan cheese and put back in the oven for another 10 - 20 minutes. Watch the bottom crust, especially in a dark pan. It will burn quickly. When the sauce / Parmesan combo is bubbly and the bottom is not burned, your pizza is ready. Pull it out of the oven and let sit for a few minutes (now is the time to take pictures of your creation). Enjoy.

Tomato Sauce Recipe:

2 large cans whole Italian Plum tomatoes, well drained (I like Muir Glen)
4-5 cloves garlic, chopped
1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper ( I also like to add 1 tsp of crushed red chili flakes)
2 - 3 tsp. oregano
1 teaspoon salt
1 tbsp sugar
2 bay leaves
1 cup chopped onions
Olive oil

Heat large skillet over medium heat until nice and warm. Coat the bottom of the hot pan with a small puddle of olive oil. Add onions and sauté until translucent, adding garlic about halfway through cooking so it doesn't burn. Add drained tomatoes. Stir. Add in salt, sugar, pepper, bay leaves, chili flakes and oregano. Cook for about five to ten minutes on medium heat. I break up the tomatoes slightly with a potato masher or an immersion blender (don't forget to take out the bay leaves). The sauce should still be a little chunky. Taste and add salt, pepper, oregano or more sugar as needed. Let sauce sit until you're ready.

Spinach Filling:

2 pounds fresh spinach (or 3 packages frozen spinach, thawed and drained)
1 yellow onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, chopped
a little olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
½ tsp red chili pepper flakes
a little nutmeg (freshly ground, about ¼ tsp or so)
Lots of fresh basil leaves (about ½ cup) (if you're in pinch, use about 1 tsp of dried basil and add it to your spinach mixture)
1 - 1 ½ pounds mozzarella (grated or thinly sliced) - I use 1 ½ pounds evenly divided between the top and the bottom of your filling, like a cheese sandwich.
fresh Parmesan cheese for the top of pizza

Sauté onions and garlic in olive oil with chili flakes until mostly cooked, add fresh (or frozen) spinach, cover and cook over lowish heat until wilted. The idea here is that the filling be very dry. If it's not, drain any water out as best you can. Add salt, pepper and nutmeg to taste. Next, tear up a bunch of basil leaves into small pieces and add to filling once it's off the heat. I've heard that cutting basil with a knife changes the taste, so I don't take any chances, I tear it by hand. You can also try laying the basil leaves over your spinach filling before you put on the final layer of cheese. That's how Edwardo's on Howard St. used to do it. Set your filling aside to cool before stuffing your crust.

Sausage and Pepper Filling:

2 pounds bulk Italian sausage (hot is good!)
2 red, green or yellow peppers, thinly sliced
2 large yellow onions, thinly sliced
4 cloves garlic, chopped
Olive oil
Salt & pepper to taste
1 - 1 ½ pounds mozzarella cheese, grated or thinly sliced - I use 1 ½ pounds evenly divided between the top and the bottom of your filling, like a cheese sandwich.
Fresh parmesan cheese for top of pizza

Brown Italian sausage in a little olive oil, if needed, over medium heat. Add onions, peppers and garlic. Cook over medium heat until all the ingredients are tender. Drain any excess fat. Season to taste (how much seasoning you need depends on how your sausage is seasoned), don't be afraid to add salt, pepper, oregano, basil or chili flakes. Cool filling before stuffing your pizza crust.

Deep Dish Apple Pie with Brandy Pecan Crumb Topping

This is one of the best apple pies ever, with a candied pecan crumb topping. It is a deep dish pie that can be made in a cast iron skillet for that rustic look, and it helps make a great pie crust. You can even leave it in the skillet to cool and serve it that way at tableside. If you would like to serve it with a generous portion of vanilla ice cream that would be fine or some would say even better. Enjoy!

Here is the recipe for the pastry dough:

1 1/2 Cups all-purpose flour

2 Ounces of granulated sugar

3/4 Teaspoon salt

1 1/2 Sticks of cold unsalted butter

4 to 6 Tablespoons ice water

To make the pastry dough: In a kitchen aid mixer you will mix together the flour, sugar, salt, and butter until the mixture resembles a coarse cookie dough. You will add cold water and pulse until the dough has come together.

You will take the dough from the mixer and add to a lightly floured work surface. You will start to knead the dough out with your hands until flattened somewhat. Once the dough is flat to about a half an inch to an inch in thickness you will cover it with plastic wrap and hold in the fridge until ready for it. When you are ready for the dough pull from the fridge and let warm up to almost room temp so it will be pliable and easier to work with.

For the filling:

3 Pounds of fresh Gala Apples

1/2 Cup firmly packed brown sugar

1/4 Cup granulated sugar

2 Tablespoons of whole butter pieces

2 Tablespoons all-purpose flour

1 Tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1 Teaspoon cinnamon

1/4 Teaspoon of vanilla bean paste

1 Ounce of Brandy

To make the filling: Peel and core the apples. Cut the apples into 1/2-inch wedges and in a bowl toss the remaining filling ingredients sugar, brown sugar, lemon juice, vanilla bean paste, Brandy,flour and cinnamon until they are completed coated. Now you will add your pieces of butter and give it another quick stir. You will now want to preheat your oven to 350°F while you make the topping and finish off making your deep dish apple pie recipe.

For the topping:

2 Tablespoons of room temperature butter

2 Ounces of light brown sugar

1/2 Ounce of Brandy

2 Tablespoons all-purpose flour

1/2 Cup pecans chopped fine

1/4 Cup of walnuts chopped fine

To make the topping:

In a small bowl with your fingertips blend the butter, brown sugar, and Brandy and mix. You will then add the flour and once again mix, but now until it is smooth and blend in all nuts. You will then wrap the topping in a saran covered bowl and chill the until you are ready for the topping.

To assemble the deep dish apple pie: You will need to prepare a lightly floured surface and roll out the dough until it is about an eighth of an inch thick. You will then add to a seasoned cast iron skillet. You will start to spoon the apple pie filling into the dough lined skillet.You will bake the pie for about 30 minutes and turn 108 degrees and then cook for about another 15 to 30 minutes in the oven. You will then remove the pie from the oven to add the crumble topping over the top of the pie, and then sprinkle with some brown sugar. You will continue to cook until the brown sugar is nice and melted, and starting to turn caramel in color. It may take another 15 to 20 minutes and then you will need to pull from the oven. If you have a wire baking rack you should cool the pie on a rack until cooled. You can serve this pie warm, or at room temperature, and as with all apple pies, it is of course fabulous with Blue Bell vanilla ice cream. Enjoy!

Circulon Infinite Circulon 12-Inch Open Skillet Review



Just picked this up on clearance at bb&b for , not sure why amazon is so high on this one, even Circulons website has it for 59 and free shiping.
But pan is nice looking, hefty feel, I have not washed in dishwasher as it cleans up easy even after cooking egg and cheese omlets with a little bit of butter. no sticking at all on clean up. But could not flip the eggs without a spatula, a non issue, just not as slick as the teflon coatings.. but sits flat as a board on my glass top range which is exactly what I was looking for. Looks like its gonna last a long time as a general purpose skillet, that I can throw in the wash, and I can use metal spatula if I wanted. However I did get a silicon spatula and wow... Throw all those plastic ones with chewed up edges away!

Just looked again on the Circulons web site and its a combo pack 10" and 12" for 59 grrr

But wait! There's more! - Joseph Ekaitis - Southern California
You can get this skillet and its 10-inch companion for even less when you buy them as a set.

Rule of thumb: search Amazon for the entire Infinite Circulon line before you buy. You might just strike black gold, but not the liquid kind.



fantastic non stick- yet already has a chip out of the edge - M. OConnor - FL
Great pan- amazing nonstick- but it already has a chip in it. Not sure about long term durability.

A Cast Iron Fireplace Grates Comparison

Deciding what to use for a fireplace grate may seem uncomplicated, there are cast iron fireplace grates, steel fireplace grates, stainless steel fireplace grates and grate heaters or blowers. This selection does present a choice in the selection process. While you will find a 24 fireplace grate is the most common. All have benefits, and the choice may ultimately be made by what is expected from your fire place. For a pretty fire and room ambience using any grate will do the job, but if the expectation is for extra home heat the selection needs close examination.

CAST IRON FIREPLACE GRATES: The first thing we all think of when we hear the term cast iron is our mother's skillet in the kitchen. Cast iron has properties of heat being spread evenly throughout the metal. That's what makes a cast iron skillet cook so well. Those same properties can be seen in a cast iron grate. The grate itself will, when heated by a fire, radiate heat into a room. This is a passive approach to expelling heat into a room but it needs to be thought of when figuring the best ways to do just that, heat a room. This will help, but understand this should not be thought of as a major contributor for a room's warmth.

STEEL AND STAINLESS STEEL FIREPLACE GRATES: These are available most everywhere and are reasonability priced. The steel grates are generally made with the bars wider apart than the cast iron cousin. The difference between stainless and regular steel is in the possibly of longer life. Also, the actual visual looks are different. The grate, stainless or not, will retain heat to radiate into the room. There is small difference between the steel and cast iron grate. Cast iron winning out but the amount is insignificant.

FIREPLACE GRATES BLOWERS: This is a product that serves two jobs. One, holds the wood that is being burned like a grate and two, takes the heat that is developed from the fire and sends it into a room with the use of a fan. This could be considered a turbo charged fireplace grate. There are many available and do a good job at moving warmth into a room. If you are thinking about this avenue then an actual fireplace insert might enter into the discussion.

A basic wood burning grate is a tool for your fireplace just like a fireplace tool set, fireplace screen and a fireplace hearth rug. All these items are fundamental to the success of heating your home and enjoying your fireplace. Keep the flue clean and happy warm nights!

Best Chili Recipes - Crock Pot Chili Recipe For You!

In this article we are going to look at a good old fashioned crock pot chili recipe with beef! this meal can be made with any meat that you want, and can even be made vegetarian style if you wish. It is versatile and delicious! Enjoy! Do you have a crock pot in a closet or kitchen cabinet someplace in your house? Are you a throwback to the 70'S? I am! But what the hey! When was the last time that you used it to actually cook something?

The crock pot is not some old "fad" that has come and gone you know! The crock pot is alive and well today! Just take a look at how it has evolved over the years when you go to the big retail outlets in your town. I remember when they were strictly "manually" operated. A manual knob for warm, medium and high. Today, they are all glitzed up with fancy electronic controls and read out displays!

Today, they are like the crock pots that you would expect on the starship Enterprise! The crock pot is not a lazy way of cooking, on the contrary it is so efficient as to be able to prep the ingredients you want then put them in the crock in the morning and when you get home, viola! dinner is served. It is an economical way of cooking. If you are a chili lover as I am then you know that the crock pot is a great way to make your best chili recipes quickly and easily! So lets make some chili shall we!

The ingredients:

3 pounds of steak. You can use round, flank, skirt, chuck if on a budget. Any cut you want. I like to cube and shred the meat for texture purposes.
1 15oz can of beans. Any will do, kidney, small red beans, pinto beans. No white beans for this recipe though!1 large onion finely chopped either a brown or red onion the choice is yours.
1 large green bell pepper finely chopped.
4 bulbs of garlic finely chopped.
1 small can 6-8 oz tomato sauce.
1 small can 6-8 oz tomato paste.
1 6-7 oz can of diced green chilies.
1 big can 28oz of fire roasted tomatoes with plain or with green chilies mixed in or 6 to 8 large tomatoes that you have roasted on the BBQ.
1 tablespoon of California chili powder.
1 tablespoon of New Mexico chili powder.
1 teaspoon of smoked paprika.
1 1/2 teaspoon of cumin.
3 tablespoons of olive oil.
1 1/2 teaspoons of salt or season salt.

OK, Lets get cooking!

I love large skillets! my fave is a cast iron skillet. I am old fashioned that way! So, get a large skillet and put your beef in it to brown it up in the 3 tablespoons of olive oil. When the beef is all browned it is time to toss it into the crock pot and then toss the rest of your ingredients in there as well! Cook this mixture for 6 to eight hours, and if you are home at the time then taste it every now and again to see if you want to add something to it or not! As an aside as always I suggest cooking this mixture or any chili recipe a day in advance as the flavors get to mingle together, but if that is not possible that is OK too! This meal is ready to eat and enjoy!




In this article we looked at a good old fashioned crock pot chili recipe made with beef. This recipe can be made with any meat that you want and it will come out tasting great!

Check Out Sitram Profisserie 7-7/8-Inch Commercial Stainless Steel Fry Pan for $90.00

Sitram Profisserie 7-7/8-Inch Commercial Stainless Steel Fry Pan Review



I worked in restaurants for many years before going into the federal gov't, and good pans or bad pans would show their true colours over time.

For those w/ any arm/wrist/finger troubles, know that this pan is comfortable to handle, but still may be a little heavy (a good sign actually), The handle is rounded is easier and "softer" to handle than the Sitram Commercial line. This pan is a powerhouse, if you will, and can handle and endure heavy use in the kitchen, which is why it is "commercial grade" in both name and quality.

I would recommend using only wooden spoons and spatulas in this pan. Pure virgin olive oil is the best to use to get the pan going when sautéing, but extra virgin oo is good for lighter cooking or when simmering. Using a wooden spatula (never metal) will keep things from sticking just fine -- scrape when necessary w/ the wooden spatula. Do not forget to keep your wooden spatulas/spoons/cutting boards oiled too. (See my other reviews for suggestions on this topic)

Oil sprays are not necessary and only last so long anyway. This pan will become a valued partner in the kitchen. It is a joy to use knowing that you are using a high quality item. It is good to hand wash these pans and to use a little bit of "Bartenders Friend" to keep them shining like new. It is also good not to use high heat, but rather middle heat zones for smooth cooking.

The bottom line is that this pan is perfect, and beats a tephlon or other nonstick pan in durability without trouble. In addition, unlike the nonstick pans, you do not have to worry about scratching it, no peeling of the coating, and best of all no chemical concerns leaching into your food -- there has been much debate/concern about this. I do not use nonstick pans for anything.

I hope this is helpful.

Cheers,
Neil [...]

Thank you.

good fry pan - eleemosynary -
I bought two of these pans in an attempt to stop using non-stick teflon for
health reasons, and I was also tired of having to discard my non-stick pans once the surface was ruined, even though the rest of the pan was ok. Sitram pans are not non-stick, and I have yet to 'season' them so that they perform as a non-stick pan. Consequently I ended up scrubbing them to get them clean, but they clean easily this way, so I am satisfied. As for using the pan, this pan does cook/fry/saute well, and conducts heat fast (even on an electric burner), so that I cook at a lower temperature than my all-clad non-stick pan. They are better quality than my all-clad pan. And as for others who had trouble getting the sticker off the bottom of the pan, try soaking it with lighter fluid (works best) or 3-in-1 oil (works ok), and it should peel off relatively easily. Cooks recommend seasoning a pan like this, which is probably something I should have done before using. To do this, add 0.5 in or 1.5 cm of oil and a handful (lots) of (coarse if you have it) salt to the pan, and let rest overnight. Then heat on low heat on the stove or in the oven until the oil is very hot but not smoking. Leave the pan until almost cool, and then discard oil and salt. Wipe the pan dry. Once a pan is seasoned it should never be washed, just wiped out with a dishrag/cloth while still warm.



Best small saute/fry pan - C. J. Gandy - Jacksonville FL
I wanted to get away from aluminum and especially non-stick pans for health reasons. This Sitram pan is old school cool. It feels and acts very professional. There is a different style of care for these pans than with treated pans but I find keeping the pan seasoned and maintained very easy. If this upkeep is maintained, the pan is a fabulous little egg pan, etc. My current cooktop is ceramic and this works very well with the glass top. I look forward to growing my collection of Sitram over time.

9/10/09- I now use this on my induction cooktop and am still in love. It is our favorite small pan, and we use it 1-3 times, every day.



Inferior Quality and Bad Sitram Customer Service - mitxanh -
After 6 months of use, the handle holder on the lid came off due to fatigue at welding joints. Since the other pieces also uses spot welding at the handle, I'm fearful for my safety and contacted Sitram Customer Support. This is their response

"While we have the ability to authorize replacement for the defective products that have handles coming off, we are unable to satisfy a request to credit other product that has not shown signs of being defective"

In otherwords, they're not surprised the product is defective and I'm not the only one complaining. If I'm stupid enough to buy a whole set, then I'll have to return each item as it falls apart. Too bad if the defective will maim me in the process.

Stay away from this defective and inferior product if you value your health and safety.

BTW, I contacted Amazon Customer Service and they agreed to accept the return. Love Amazon.

Celebration of beef with herb butter

Every time you want to splurge on a meal. You want to serve a meal that reminds family and friends for months. Beef is one of the first pieces of meat that comes to mind. Although beef is the perfect choice for your celebration dinner, is an expensive option. Fortunately, many grocery stores are beef sales during the holidays.

Do not buy the slices of meat wrapped because they cost $ 8.00-$ 7.00 over the whole thread. If the fillet is sealed ina plastic bag, you probably need to buy everything. A specialty butcher may be willing to sell half or less thread. Beef is also known as Chateaubriand, and filet mignon.

Chateaubriand is a whole thread, which is grilled. Some professional chefs and home cooks insert slivers of garlic before grilling loin. If you do not have a grill, thread whole roast in oven at 400 degrees for about 45 minutes. BeforeBaked fillet, wipe the outside with a bit 'of olive oil and season with salt and pepper, just cracked.

Roasting a whole fillet is easy, but we must keep an eye on him and take it from the oven, just before the temperature reaches 140 degrees. (Fillets will continue for several minutes.) Do not cook too Tenderloin flavor and tenderness to lose.

Beef is a cut of meat suitable. You can season with south, southwest andMiddle Eastern spices and herbs. Bring the taste of fresh mushrooms, shallot, Roquefort cheese, port wine, red wine or Madeira. Often, simple recipes are the best, and I came up with this recipe many years ago. It 's easy, fast and easy to remember. Celebrate family, friends and life with my celebration of beef with herb butter.

Ingredients

1 stick of softened butter (no substitutions),
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juiceJuice
2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley
1 1 / 2 pounds of beef
1 tablespoon butter

Method

Combine butter, Dijon mustard, lemon juice and parsley in a small bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for two hours. Once the butter has hardened, cut butter with a murmur of melon baller. Cover the balls of butter, then refrigerate.

Cut into 3/4-inch slices of beef. (You can make thin slices, depending on howThey have a lot of meat.) Put 1 teaspoon of butter in a well-seasoned cast iron skillet. Heat the pan and quickly fry the fillets over medium heat until the outside is firm and the inside is pink. Season the steak with salt and freshly ground pepper.

Two slices of fillet on each plate. Top each slice with a ball of herb butter. Save the extra herb butter for other meals. Serve sliced tenderloin served with wild rice,caramelized onions and dried cranberries. Complete meal with hot French bread and fresh spinach salad with thinly sliced red onion, fresh tangerine segments and vinaigrette. Makes 6 servings celebration.

Not so great. - Patrick K. Miller - Wall Township, NJ
I had heard/read great things about these pans and was eager to try them when they went on sale. In a nutshell, I'm not too happy about them.
1. The gold accent has all but disapeared, some ended up in the food... blech... some in the sink and most of it just washed away.
2. It's a generic non-stick pan... nothing special.
3. The handles are loose.
4. For the price I could have bought two sets locally and they wouldn't have that gold/silver this looks like garbage trim.
All in all I would/could not recommend these.

Mario Batali 12-Inch Deep Skillet, Chianti Review



I needed a skillet that was heavy and multifunctional and reasonably priced. This skillet fits that bill. The skillet is very heavy and good looking. The interior of the skillet is quite rough, not smooth as I had anticipated. Also, they direct you to use only medium heat and below. I have used twice using the method of browning on the stove top and popping the whole unit into the oven to finish the cooking process. The results were very satisfactory. Even though they say it does not need to be seasoned, I think you have to use it a few times before it is seasoned properly. I will revisit this review in the future.

  • 12-inch open skillet in chianti red with extra deep capacity--great for pan searing and braising meats
  • Strong cast iron construction with matte enamel texture on the interior

A Chef's View on the pros and cons of stainless steel cookware

Stainless steel is often the best in pots when you think. Used in households around the world by professional chefs, but there are some reasons why stainless steel cookware is a good choice. There are some disadvantages as well, but these are usually overshadowed by the benefits.

The advantages of stainless steel cookware are:

* Shelf. Stainless steel tends to be very tough. This type of pot, does not chip, rust, or evenFleck, at least slightly. Stainless steel is also dent and scratch resistant. It 's virtually impossible to destroy. This makes it very easy to clean, usually. The container is dishwasher safe, as a rule, able to handle going to the fridge and much more.

* Aroma preservation packaging. This type of cookware tends not to leach into food from one of its metallic properties. This means that the same pot doe no influence on the quality of taste. Furthermore, because there is no protection, non-stick coating, tendsthere is no danger of this material comes from food.

* Ability to transfer heat. Stainless steel cookware with high quality in the game, aluminum or copper, is brought used to improve heat transfer. This ensures even cooking of food. If the pot is well made, the properties of cooking almost impossible to beat or match.

* Look. Stainless steel is beautiful and is easy to see that maintained. The mirror need only a gentle rubbing or delete to bringin excellent condition.

* Recyclable. Stainless steel is completely recyclable. If a pan is not possible to have destroyed, can be saved in other ways. This makes stainless favored by those who are concerned about the waste.

The disadvantages of stainless steel are:

* Poor heat transfer. If a paste made of aluminum or copper is used, the thermal conductivity is very poor. This means that less steel is perhaps better than other products.

* Prices. BestStainless steel is the most expensive tender. On the other hand, a number of very good stainless steel cookware can be a long life. Many consider that this is a one-off purchase, whether the investment is worth it.

* Laundry. Although stainless steel is easy to clean, the food was coated pots do look a bit 'more attractive. However, little elbow grease useful regarded by many as the lives of pots and pans.

For stainless steel potsselected, there are some cleaning tips that may come into play. In general, should steel after use to avoid a potential to wash, no matter how small, for coloring. Basic clean sink or dishwasher work. To ensure that the area is beautiful, with a regular metal cleaner out of the pan. Stuck on foods usually have a little elbow grease.

Chicken Teriyaki

This court is more in the style of Japanese cuisine, like chicken is cooked on a stove, not in a wok, and separate from vegetables. I use an electric hot plate, and it works great. The dish can be made with chicken breast, but I prefer to use chicken thigh.


2 chicken breast bones skinless boneless chicken thighs skinless O 4
Teriyaki sauce
1 teaspoon garlic powder
2 tablespoons sherry
any type of vegetable for frying

Cut the chicken intosmall cut into thin strips. The thinner the better. Place the chicken in the freezer for half an hour or so. And 'firmly until the meat and make it easier to cut. Put chicken pieces in a bowl, the sherry, garlic powder and teriyaki sauce. The meat is fully submerged, and covered with the sauce. Marinate for at least half an hour, up to 4 hours. The longer the meat is marinated, the stronger the flavor Teriyaki.

The marinated meats and vegetables to fry to prepare. I likeMushrooms, onions, carrots and celery with the chicken teriyaki. Just before cooking the meat, vegetable stir fry, put the lid on the wok to keep warm.

Preheat grill to 400 degrees if you are a power. You can also use an iron skillet. If the pot is hot, then 1 tablespoon peanut oil rust. Let the oil is hot, use tongs to put it mildly meat on the grill. It 'very exciting and some areSketches, so please use caution. Spread a layer of flesh just above the grill and let rest for 10 seconds. This caramelize some of the teriyaki sauce. After the first 10 seconds to move the beef teriyaki sauce has a lot of sugar in it, I know you need to keep moving or the chicken will burn it. Do you want a tan and a bit 'charring of the meat is good, but not burn. All in the bowl to marinate the left can be poured over the chicken while cooking. Continue to hold the chickensWithout moving. The cooking time depends on the amount of chicken and thin slices as you cut.

To serve, stir-fried vegetables lying on a bed of rice or oriental noodles, then place chicken on top. Pour a little 'fresh teriyaki sauce on the meat. The taste of freshly cooked sauce and the sauce is just different enough to bowl a good variety of tastes.

This can also beef, pork be done, and seafood. An interesting variant is the wheel until the green onions and / or green or redPeppers lengthwise and add the marinade. They add more flavor to the meat during cooking.

Therefore, it is often created as a composite of these three materials pots. Copper is hard to improve the heat conductivity, aluminum in the middle and caught the hob is stainless steel. Cast iron cookware is another excellent material. It retains heat well and is durable and inexpensive. However, cast iron cookware is heavy. Porcelain is a coating material and excellent benefits.

How do I cure a cast iron pan?

NEW FACTORY: Cast iron pans fresh from the factory are usually for sale are treated with a coating to prevent rust. This coating is not good to eat and may contain plastic or wax, so it's a good idea, go with your steel wool before seasoning the pan or pot for the first time. cleaning with steel wool, wash skillet or pan in hot soapy water and then placed on the fire to dry. Once cleaned and dried your newPan, State, before it.

RUST: If your pot or pan is now rusty, clean the rust with steel wool first. You can pass virtually any cast iron pan or pot, no matter how disgusting it is when you find it. After scouring the rust, wash and dry on the stove. Then the condition for the pan.

Condition: if it is new, recently cleaned with steel wool, or no fat, you must "season" or "State" is the firstbefore cooking. To do this, put it on a hot burner, add a few tablespoons of cooking oil. Let warm and then let it cool, then wipe the oil all over, then wipe the 'excess oil.

TO CLEAN: There are several methods, but perhaps the best method is never used soap. Soap will strip the oil pan, and should have oil! Unlike other pans, a good piece of cast iron are blacks with oil residues. This prevents the pan fromRust and metal from reacting with food, and makes the oil that acts like a frying pan. So instead of soap, use salt to clean the pan. Coarse kosher salt is good for this purpose because it is the law, rudeness, and you can get a big box of cheap.

When ready to cook, wash the pan, dump in a tablespoon or two of salt and rub with salt and water in a thick gritty paste combined pan. Rinse and then focus back on the pan and heat for dryingpan a bit before '(and therefore not rust). The pan still has oil, but is clean, so when cooking can just start cooking without the State of pan again.

Cajun Cookware Seasoned Cast Iron Skillet 12 Inch Review



I purchased this skillet for a gift to some British friends that the world in their sailboat. They had garbage for a skillet. I mailed the skillet to myself and shipped to them in England. They cooked often on it at home, but i have yet to hear how it fares on the sailboat. I'm sure it's wonderful, and they love it. The skillet was as true cast iron as I know it to be because it was very heavy. You simply shouldn't cook on anything else. The cast iron gets carbon buildup, which is all of the flavor. A "clean sparkly" skillet is one that won't flavor well and nothing conducts heat like cast iron. Additionally, you should never cook in high heat with anything but peanut oil. Other oils will burn and potentially famable at high temperatures. Use peanut oil to properly season your skillet and produce it's true carbon coating by smoking it on high. You can probably find better detailed instruction on the net about how to do it, but it is simple enough and then just rinse and wipe clean. A dab of oil in the interior a bit afterwards to protect from rust and store.

T-Fal Professional Cookware 10-pc. Set- Black Review



I bought this T-Fal Professional Cookware set locally at a smokin' sale price several months ago and have been very favorably impressed with it - it provides a decently even temperature across the bottom of the skillet/pot and washes (by hand, of course!) very easily. What many do not know is that T-Fal introduced non-stick cooking to America back in the late 60's (or was it 1970?). Yes, I'm that old and I still remember the excitement of my first non-stick skillet! I've owned various brands of low to mid-range priced cookware over the years and I keep coming back to cookware made by T-Fal or Wearever. Now, I've learned they have merged -so I'll be interested to see how that works out. In the meantime, our family just took a LEAP INTO THE FUTURE of cooking by buying a Max Burton Induction Cooktop (by Athena). Thought this was better than spending ,000+ for a new 4/5 burner induction cooktop to replace our dying 70's ceramic cooktop. This gives us a chance to see if we like induction cooking while also watching the prices drop. I will review the Max Burton on Amazon after I've used it for a couple of weeks as it's sold here also. BUT, IMAGINE MY DELIGHT to find that this particular set of T-Fal cookware works on INDUCTION COOKTOPS! Oh, happy day! (FYI - the jumbo fryer sold separately, unfortunately, does not.) I recommend this set to anyone who is realistic about their expectations of cookware in this price range and to those who are willing to give their cookware TLC - no metal utensils or scrubbers - no soaking - bubblewrap between the pieces when storing. Yes, I'm a bit of a fuss-budget but, as a result, I don't have to replace my cooking gear that often which leaves a little money now and then to splurge on newer, innovative gadgets I see here on Amazon all the time! Good luck with your decision making!

10 Pc T-Fal Professional Cookware - querice13 - Wisconsin
I bought this set for my sister for Christmas at her request. She has had T-Fal her entire adult life and would not live without it. She has just confirmed it is a great product and she wants the stock pot also. Spoiled girl!!



10 pc T-Fal Cookware - Gary Alderman - USA
Product was as stated when we recieved it. We have always tried to buy and use T-Fal when we could. Vendor did deliver product when they said they would. We are very happy with them and will buy from them again.



Does NOT work on induction cooktops - Abby McNeil - San Jose, CA
We purchased this cookware after reading the above review stating that it works on induction cooktops AND after it came up under a search for "induction cookware". Well, after waiting way too long for this to arrive (it took acehardware outlet over a week to ship it out) we found that it does not, in fact, work on induction. The box itself states that it is "suitable for all heat sources except induction." They are hard anodized aluminum.

Overall, the cookware seemed nice enough - nice comfy grips, not-too-heavy, and glass lids. They just aren't what we were hoping for.



Wonderful to cook with, and long lasting - Wings42 - San Diego, CA United States
This set was featured at Costco about 10 years ago. Since I do most of the cooking in our house, I splurged on what was a quite costly set for us and have been more than happy with it.

Plusses:
- With this featured set plus a Wearever 3 liter deep skillet, and a Wearever wok (all came with the Costco set), I always have the right size cookware for any stove top job.

- Heavy metal bottoms distributes heat better than any cookware I've ever owned, including top of the line RevereWare.

- The Teflon coating is extremely tough, long lasting, and very non-stick. Unlike another reviewer here, I've not babied the Teflon coating in any way, including stirring with metal utensils. Yet only the two saucepans are ready for replacement after about a decade of heavy use,

- The handles stay cool.

- All the pieces are extremely well balanced. They "feel right".

- Pan lids fit the skillets.

- The lids can be hung from hooks with their "U" shaped handles .

Minuses:
- It's hard to find the two replacement pieces, a 2 liter and a 4 liter saucepan. I really don't want any other brand because I know these are great. If I have to buy a whole new complete set so be it.

- I couldn't live without the wok for stir-fry and deep skillet for simmering pasta sauce or making chicken cacciatore. To me, this set isn't quite complete without them. Kohl offers a bigger set under the T-Fal name.

If you buy this set, you'll be happily living with it for a very long time.
