I was given a $50 gift certificate to Napa Style – Michael Chiarello’s catalog – and cannot decide what to use it for. I don’t want to kick in too much more. Everything seems SO expensive. I am leaning...

back about 2 cups of the flour. Gradually add the remaining flour until the dough is sticky but kneadable. Turn the dough out and knead in the remaining flour. 3. Allow the dough to sit in a warm place (65 to 75 degrees), covered...

kitchen mitts or dry dishtowels. He emphasized that they must the dry. Then let the pie cool and cut it while it was still on the dry cloth surface. All in all, I think his explanation beat the hell out of ‘it could be a...

I agree...my suggestion is to rinse then soak the rice overnight, wrap in cheesecloth (i’ve also used a clean, lint-free dishtowel) and steam for 40 minutes. I’m pretty sure you got thai sticky rice instead of the...

them in a pot of cold water. 2. Grate potatoes and onions through the small holes of a box grater (or electric meat grinder—do not use a food processor). 3. Place potato mixture in a clean, lint-free dishtowel and squeeze out...

are struck by how small the restarant is as well as its bizarre appointments. Decorations vary from stuffed faux turkeys to metal tiles. No table, chair, plate, cup, piece of silver , etc,, matches here. Napkins are dishtowels....

meat and well done pastry. If made properly, the Joy of Cooking recipe is a good one. I wish I didn’t have a “helper” helping me, but what can you do...it was xmas. PS – definitely squeeze minced mushrooms...

something about the dessert menu changing soon. They also had a flyer on the bar for a once-a-month tasting menu series for different regions of Italy. One more thing- I loved the napkins. They’re small dishtowels.

Per a recommendation of a very helpful WS employee: Bar Keeper’s Friend + an old dishtowel + scrubbing like mad! :) (not brillo, sponge, or a nylon “scrubby” as recommended by LC) The “fabric grit” of...

My office kitchen is almost entirely stocked with basic white porcelain dishes (plates & bowls) from IKEA. They are just that – basic white, and cheap, and work just fine. The glasses work well too. I love their INEZ RAND...

. I worry about the exposed cast iron part around the rim, so when I put it away I put a clean dry dishtowel between it and the lid – just my paranoia.

I use the ziplock and rolling pin method. Put a dishtowel over the bag in a single layer as the candy can get some sharp edges and cut through the bag. I don’t know if you’ll be able to get it as fine as fine sugar,...

I’m making whey, or trying to....What color is it supposed to be? When i put it through the cheese cloth (quadrupled up – last time I used a dishtowel I could not get the smell out). all the liquid which is white just...

I agree. I probably added 1/4 cup of flour to the dishtowel for the 2-hr rising and it was still wet enough to stick to the towel. I just scraped it off and rolled the flattened mass into the hot pot. It rises very nicely during...
