My favorite item of '07 is the knife magnet I received as a gift - no more knives floating dangerously in drawers, no more knife block taking up counter space... Just grab and go!BeanMahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09557098089586654799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37148216.post-22974488873958392612008-01-17T09:11:00.000-05:002008-01-17T09:11:00.000-05:002008-01-17T09:11:00.000-05:00Good advice...you go girl!

We've had the skillet a few months now and it's just starting to develop that browny "patina." Honestly, with arthritis I don't know how you do it. Maybe we could get wrist braces or something?? ;^)NuttyMeatfruithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16057511423934972986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37148216.post-50475837825185630002008-01-16T16:21:00.000-05:002008-01-16T16:21:00.000-05:002008-01-16T16:21:00.000-05:00Do you make pancakes in your LeCreuset coated enamel? I have a Le Creuset Dutch oven and shallow pan, but I haven't tried pancakes in one. I have always used them for braising lamb shanks and osso bucco. They are the best - a bit heavy for my arthritic hands, but really great. (I have been lucky so far with the tools needed for SCD...I have always loved to cook, so the majority of the gifts I've gotten over the past several years are cookware-related). <BR/><BR/>The pressure cooker has a lock-on lid and sits on the stove. I bring the liquid in it to a boil and then lock the lid on and watch as the pressure indicator pops up. Once it is up, I level off the heat. I have been using it for squishy carrots and green beans and it reduces the cooking time by about 70%. <BR/><BR/>It is interesting about hemochromatosis...my mom is prone to it too...I think the Le Creuset is probably the safest and best in terms of protection from absorbtion...they hold up beautifully too.Emilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07197643777978222963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37148216.post-71409250513364892182008-01-15T19:39:00.000-05:002008-01-15T19:39:00.000-05:002008-01-15T19:39:00.000-05:00Emily, we'd gone through so many non-stick frying pans it didn't make sense to buy another. Since my body is prone to absorb more iron than it should, the coated LeCreuset was a good choice. How does your pressure cooker work?<BR/><BR/>Jilluck, hopefully this is the last time we have to drop $100 on a skillet!NuttyMeatfruithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16057511423934972986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37148216.post-90972222098177673232008-01-14T14:35:00.000-05:002008-01-14T14:35:00.000-05:002008-01-14T14:35:00.000-05:00I love my Santoku too! I got a few new Global knives for Christmas and they are life-changing! I am going to have to pull out my old cast iron pan...I am having a heck of a time with pancakes now that we don't use nonstick pans. <BR/><BR/>Another SCD lifesaver is my old Kuhn Rikon pressure cooker. I won it in an internet cooking quiz contest about 12 years ago and didn't do much with it for ages, but it sure makes cooking SCD veggies much faster. It is also not aluminum (another no-no on our list...) I am loving it.Emilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07197643777978222963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37148216.post-57594757992436903602008-01-14T10:03:00.000-05:002008-01-14T10:03:00.000-05:002008-01-14T10:03:00.000-05:00Great tips!!
