Best grill for outdoor cooking
hubby and I are finally building out our back deck and patio. We don't neccessarily have the funds for our dream "built-in" outdoor kitchen but we do want a nice rolling grill. Any suggestions?
Brand New All-Clad Staining
While we were rebuilding our house, we lived with my husbands brother. In the 2 years we lived there, I did most of the cooking using his brothers SS all clad set. The worst it ever got were some dardk spots on the underside of his big saute pan. Nothing like I have after one use on my own set, which is why I wonder if mine is defective. Plus I did not use any Pam or polymer type coating, just straight olive oil. Another option is that my new cooktop is a top of the line with a huge amount of btu power. Maybe just cooking too high of a temp even though the dial is set to medium?
Brand New All-Clad Staining
Thats what's so frustrating. 1. Should I really have to scrub BKF after the very first use? 2. A scant amount of olive oil was used to make croutons with fresh bread. 3. Both pans are squeeky clean and this yellow/orange color is covering the entire surface, bottom AND top. I am so afraid to use the rest of my set! Does anyone know about All-Clad's return policy or warranty. I stupidly didnt't fill it out 1.5 years ago when I got the gift. The set was bought from Metro Kitchen.
Quick and Easy Weeknight Meals
Living in New Orleans, we eat fish probably 5 nights a week. Hubby goes deep sea fishing about once every couple of months so we are usually stocked with tuna, wahoo, amberjack. Plus all the flats fishing we do bringing in redfish and specled trout. Adding thats its crawfish, oyster and shrimp season and well... seafood is a staple around here. Most of the time I take a filet of redfish (skin intact scales removed) brush the skin side with olive oil and throw it on a grill. Sprinkle salt, pepper and lemon slices and grill it until the fish gets flaky. The redfish skin acts in the same way those ceder planks do for salmon. Or if its a delicate fish I usually wrap the filet in parchment paper, season it, and bake it in the oven. But the easiest is a basic shrimp boil with potatoes, corn, artichokes, garlic, and onions.
Brand New All-Clad Staining
As a gift last Christmas, I got an All-Clad set but have not been able to use it until now due to new home construction. Now that we have moved in we are able to use our kitchen tools. So far, I have used both the small and large stainless steel skillets and both have stained a dirty yellow-orange greasy color...the very first time I used them and not on a high heat setting on my gas stove. No amount of scrubbing, even with a brillo pad (which I thought you were never supposed to do) is getting it off. I am quite upset and wonder if its defective product.
