Thanksgiving around the corner...lets talk turkey! and tarts! and more!!

I've never heard of that...parchment paper...can you tell me more?

If it's wrapped, do you still baste. How's does the bird brown...is it as even as cheesecloth?

Thanksgiving around the corner...lets talk turkey! and tarts! and more!!

I've never used cheesecloth....do you wrap the stuffing in the cloth then stick it in the bird...do you tie the legs? I remember seeing martha stewart's bird had the stuffing all brown and crispy sticking out of the opening of the bird...which looked pretty, but you can have that look with the cloth....

I may still try it! Thanks for the tip and travel safely! oh, do you stuff the breast cavity without the cloth?

I too tried the breast side down but didn't find a difference. I most likely will do the martha stewart cheesecloth method. I don't know if it really keeps the turkey more moist, but it sure makes it brown beautifully!

Your confit's duck brick sounds great to me!
Question...what do you mean by a "moist" oven? And doesn't resting the turkey in the oven dry/overcook it??
Your stuffing sounds nice, do you use chicken stock and raw eggs to keep it together? recipe??

I wonder what people's thoughts are on stuff turkeys verse unstuffed turkeys....is the stuffing better in the turkey??? Food for thought..

stuffed eye of round recipe and tips

I have a 3.3 lb eye of round, I was thinking of stuffing it with sauted mushrooms, parm cheese, little shallot and garlic, add breadcrumbs and egg to bind and stuff the butterflied meat.
I am wondering if I could use the cooking method of high temperature (475) 7 mins per pound then shut oven off and leave leave it in the unopened oven for 2-3 hours??? I am also thinking of browning it before placing it in the oven. Also, should I wrap it in foil before placing in oven and should I add some wine for moisture???
Any suggestions on recipe for stuffing and how to cook this meat would be appreciated.
thank's

have key limes.....now what

Hello All, thanks for the suggestions and tips, I decided to make lime curd, thanks BBL, I used your recipe. And also to Sunshine for the tip, I used a garlic press, cut the key limes and half and squeezed! Great tip, the only thing I noticed is that some of the oil from the skins made it a bit bitter. It should still be alright.....WIll make some tarts out of the curd...again thanks for all the responses!!!

Secrets to good meatballs?

I too agree, water is the trick, I add some salt to my water and let the meat rest for about an hour. My meatballs are very soft and I don't brown them, I drop them into the sauce and simmer. Since they are soft I don't touch them once I drop them into the sauce until at least 15-20 mins. I will take the pot and gentle swirl it round and round after about 5 mins so that nothing stick, I do this quite a few times. Everyone raves about how tender and moist they are.

dark non stick tart pan....doesn't brown my tarts..Why??

thank's chowser, I feel silly but I didn't realize that tarts are not to be brown. Maybe that is why when I order a quiche the crust is very very light and I thought all this time that they should have left it in the oven longer....LOL....

dark non stick tart pan....doesn't brown my tarts..Why??

Sorry for the delay in responding. I have never used a non stick tart pan and I have made pies in my other regular tart pans and they brown. I was also wondering wouldn't blind baking a crust then adding the filling produce an over baked crust? Wouldn't over baking a crust render it tough?
Thank you all for responding!

dark non stick tart pan....doesn't brown my tarts..Why??

ipsedixit, I thought the prettiness of a crust is the lovely golden colour, a white crust just seems as if it wasn't baked enough.....nor as appetizing as a coloured one.,...
Well maybe it's just me, but what an eye opener it is that the colour or lack of colour isn't a big deal, or that tarts aren't to have colour....so...a pie crust that looks just like it was before baking is ok???

dark non stick tart pan....doesn't brown my tarts..Why??

chemistrykinetics, the entire pan is dark non stick, it is a wilton 11 X 1.125. It does seem thicker the my other non stick tart pans but not by a whole lot....

inaplasticcup, no I never thought of buttering it since it is a non stick....do you think that would help?

ipsedixit, the crust on the bottom and the sides wouldn't brown. I sometimes make pies in it cause it so large and I like the pretty shape ie: pumpkin pie. As far as tarts, well I just assumed that they should be brown, at least a light brown crust....or are they to be a light colour? Is a quiche or a choc. almond torte not to have a coloured crust...

Oh dear, know I'm confused...lol

dark non stick tart pan....doesn't brown my tarts..Why??

Hello, I purchased a scalloped edged dark non stick tart pan 9 -10 inches with a removable bottom. Each time I use it the crust won't brown...what can I do to correct this issue...
I thought of lining it with foil but it has the scalloped sides...

It's too late to return it, so if it won't brown crust, what would I use it for???
