Le Creuset Enameled Cast-Iron 9-Inch Skillet with Iron Handle, Chestnut Review



It works well, and enables some kinds of cooking to be gone with elegance. I use it for frittatas frequently. It isn't as easy to clean as a seasoned plain cast iron skillet, but in general, that isn't much of a black mark, because it still cleans with considerable ease. It looks great, better than a plain cast iron skillet. I also use it for pork chops and other things that can stand high heat. I'm glad I have it, along with other enameled cast iron items.

Low Carb Cooking Quickies

This cooking article is not to give you medical advice about your diet. Only your doctor can tell you what's right for you. The article is designed to give low carb cooks some tips on making quick low carbohydrate meals.

Cooking low carb meals can be easier and faster than going to a fast food restaurant. Not to mention, healthier and tastier. The trick to this is keeping the kitchen stocked up with some items that are 'ready to go'.

One problem that some low carbers have is they get hungry and need something to eat fast. This is more normal during the early stages of the diet because after being on it for awhile you tend to lose your hunger. Too often low carbers choose the wrong food and blow their diet. This leads to negative feelings and doubts as to self worth.

If you are going to low carb, you need to learn how to be a low carb cook. Most fast food places do not accommodate a low carb diet, so let's explore some of the ways to make this diet more convenient for you.

Fast and Convenient Snacks

There are some staples you will need to keep on hand. For quick snacks you will want to keep these items accessible:

Hard Boiled Eggs - These are great for fast snacks; a small breakfast for those that don't like a big breakfast, chop them up in vegetable salads, chicken salads, tuna salads or egg salads. Make up a dozen or so at a time, peel them and store them in the refrigerator in cold water. Reach in and grab one when you get a little hungry.

Cheese - Cheese is very important in a low carb diet. It's not a must have, but it's a tasty way to get some dairy product into your diet. Cheese makes a great addition to salads, a great topping for burgers or even a great stand alone snack. To be low carb fast cooking prepared, always keep a variety of cheese handy. These would include shredded, sliced, string and hunks of cheeses varying from cheddar to mozzarella.

Snacks - The first thing that comes to mind is pork rinds. These no-carb snacks go a long way in fulfilling a lot of low carb needs. They make a great snack by themselves or with a little hot sauce on them. But you can also dip them in sour cream, plain unsweetened yogurt, put cream cheese on them, crumble them up in a salad, or crush them for breading for fried chicken.

Other good snacks would include fresh veggies; cauliflower, broccoli, celery, zucchini, green, red and yellow bell peppers, mushrooms and radishes. These go well with a nice low carb dip (or even mayonnaise).

Entrees

Keep plenty of quick meats on hand. Ground beef can be used in so many ways that, with a little creativity, you'll never tire of it. Just change it up with spices, cheese and peppers to fit your mood.

A really great fast meal trick is to take fish and steam it in a pan with a little water and onion and top it with frozen mixed vegetables. Since you are low carbing you can even take the liberty of adding some real butter. Yummy!

In fact, frozen veggies will work with stir fry, too. Buy meat or pork prepared for stir fry, along with frozen stir fry vegetables and put them in a hot skillet with a little oil and garlic (keep stirring - hence the name). In ten minutes, you'll be eating a luxurious meal.

Of course, maybe the ultimate quick meal is a juicy steak or some plump pork chops on the grill with a nice salad.

Low carb cooking is quick, easy and very tasty. It really couldn't be any quicker and still be healthy.

Cookware Sets - Which One's Right For Your Family

When selecting a cookware set there are things you need to have and things you want to have. You need to decide what material, how many pieces, etc. Your knowledge and cooking expertise will play a huge role as well. An amateur chef would not use complicated equipment.

If you plan to even cook Mac & Cheese in your kitchen you will need the basic essentials for cooking.

Skillets are essential for sautéing and your easy skillet dinners. I would recommend having three different sizes such as a seven inch, ten inch and eleven inch. That way if you need to brown beef and sauté mushrooms for spaghetti, you don't have to wait for one or the other.

Saucepans are great for heating up various sauces, you can also use them to heat up vegetables as well. As with the skillets you really should have two different sizes with these as well. One quart and two quart are good enough for any cooking project you have.

Kettles or stockpots are the best for cooking pasta, stews, or any other fairly large portion of food. You really only need one of these, but two is not bad either. You want to make sure that it is at least six quarts to ensure that it is big enough.

Cookie sheets are great for, obviously, cookies. But they are also great for things such as chicken and garlic bread. One of these is enough, but having two or three is a good idea if you are making a large batch of cookies.

Utensils are your basic tools when cooking. I definitely would recommend having more than enough of these. You will definitely need a ladle, large spoon, slotted spoon, spatula, slotted spatula, rubber spatula, spaghetti fork, and whisk.

You will almost always need a strainer. I recommend a metal non wire strainer, simply because they are easier to clean. People find it is more difficult to clean a mesh strainer because food is constantly getting stuck in the mesh. And I would steer clear of plastic because it melts at high temperatures.

Measuring cups and spoons are the most important tool to have when cooking from scratch because it requires lots of measuring. You will need at least a two cup liquid measuring cup. You will also need 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, and 1 teaspoon and tablespoon measuring spoons and dry measuring cups.

Mixing bowls are great to have and you can never have enough. I would definitely advise having at minimum a small, medium, and large mixing bowl.

Some extras to consider would be cake pans, casserole dishes, and mixers.

You will definitely also want to look at which material you prefer to use. The most common are stainless steel, copper, cast iron, and hard-anodized. Stainless steel is superior quality and lasts longer, but comes at a price. If you went with stainless steel you want the base lined with copper since copper has higher heat conductivity. Copper is good, but easily corrosive and expensive. Cast iron is cost effective, but hard to maintain. So you want to be sure to keep up with it to avoid rancid build up. Hard-anodized is very durable and resistant to corrosion, but is prone scratches.

Just remember when picking out your cookware you want to make sure you have the essentials and look for the most cost effective set that works for you and your family.
