Chef/Culinary Talk with Cooking Tips

[SPRINGFIELD_XD_40]

---

I would like to post some basic rules we need to observe when preparing n cooking food .

- To avoid cross contamination , dont mix raw POULTRY MEATS in cutting , storing or cooking with other meats . I is`olate gyud ang POULTRY MEATS .

- Temps for meats na safe to eat :

Beef, Pork, Lamb and Veal - 160F
Poultry - 180F
Stuffing - 165F
Boneless turkey roast - 170F to 175F
Fish and seafood - 145F

- Use the proper equipment to make the processs mooth n fun .

Invest in non stick pans n good knives .

or
welbilt (double)

@ Galadriel ... I have always used the analog thermometer for the reason na ma calibrate man nimo siya . Yes they are accurate kung calibrated .

What are the features sa 2 na pwede i compare n their respective prices ?

how to calibrate the thermometer?

ChefMate's 2-pound automatic breadmaker is focused on delivering a nice loaf without any struggle. It mixes, kneads, rises, and bakes bread automatically, with 10 different settings (including a special setting for whole-wheat bread) and a choice of 2-, 1-1/2-, or 1-pound loaves. This bread machine is pre-programmable, meaning it can bake a loaf while you're at work or sleeping--though you shouldn't use this option if using ingredients that spoil. Other nice features on this breadmaker include the ability to make cakes and jams, a beeper that tells when to add fruit and nuts, a cooldown feature, and an extra-large window that allows you to watch the bread progress. It's also compatible with most prepackaged bread mixes, which is nice when you're in serious hurry.

Features:

Measures 15.-1/2 by 11 by 14-1/4 inches
Mixes, kneads, rises, and bakes bread automatically
Makes 1-, 1-1/2-, or 2-pound loaves of homemade bread

Get a tub full of ICE COLD WATER kung mahimo puno pa ug ice . Dip the thermometer for about 30 to 45 seconds n it should register a below zero temp . After mo register na cya , remove then check if mo balik ba cya sa room temp . From there calibrated na cya if room temp na cya .

I would get the DUAL BREAD MAKER because of :

- glass window
- variety of bakery products can be made

You can try the dept stores sa HOUSEWARES/KITCHEN area .

ANALOG THERMOMETRS should look like this :



* When checking for meat temps , insert it in the thick part away from the bone .
