I’m cooking a surprise dinner for my Peruvian boyfriend and I know this is his favorite entree, but I dont know what to serve it with. I’ve also noticed that most recipes call for chicken instead of steak, am I making a mistake serving steak?

This is used when cooking soups or stews so only the flavor of the vegetables gets cooked in. The vegetables in the mesh bag can be removed after cooking without actually being in the soup or stew.

Chris2 asked:


We’re having a party and I’m planning on cooking the hotdogs in the crockpot so they can always be warm for whenever someone wants to eat (there’s other food of course, but thought the kids would appreciate this the most). I would assume I should put water in to cook them just as I would on the stove. Anyone have a suggestion of how long the hotdogs should be “stewing” in the crockpot to make sure they’re warmed all the way through?

You hear of putting red wine cooking sauce or white wine cooking sauce on food. What would happen if you didn’t cook the wine cooking sauce and drank it like you would regular wine? If I just took a bottle of red or white wine cooking sauce, and poured a glass, would I be drinking alcohol? What would happen to me? Would it be bad for me?

If you fry with cooking oil do you need to throw out the used oil after the first use or can it be stored and re-used? Does it need to be refigerated? Strained? How long should you keep it if you can use it again?

Styles Gagan asked:


I need some help cooking my porterhouse. Normally I either grill it outside, or use a cast iron skillet.

I don’t have any of those at the moment, so I ask you. How would you cook a 1 1/2 inch bone in, porterhouse steak? I have all the spices, but I can either cook it in a non stick skillet, or in the broiler.

How would you cook the steak, and how long would you cook a 1 1/2 bone in steak to get it medium to medium rare?
