Has anyone used the new POTATOE product in a bag that you heat in the microwave and then mash it into mashed potatoes?

How well does it match homemade mashed potatoes? How would you rate this product?
On a scale from 1-5 with five being the best – what score would you give the new microwave potato product? Thanks

I have a new CONVECTION/CONVENTION oven.

Which should I use to cook my 20 lb. Thanksgiving Turkey? In the past with my convention oven I used a large roasting pan with a lid. I take the lid off the last hour of cooking to brown the Turkey.

I then put other items in to reheat right before serving. What type of oven should be used to reheat these items = Convection or Convention? Thanks.

According to Reuters, 14.6% of Americans don't, along with about a billion people worldwide.

That's about 44 million Americans. There's enough food to go around. Why are people still hungry?

For instance, I love to lick the lid to my yogurt, because there is too much good stuff on it to be thrown away, however I would not do this in public. I feel like I could come very close to speaking in a primal language the way I tip the bowl in my face and sometimes lick my plate, especially after a really good pot roast, yum!

Any suggestions as to what I can put on popcorn now besides salt?

Something exotic like a mixture of indian spices or something?

I love butter so much, but then I won't be able to eat as much if I put that on it.

One of the freezers is a little box sized one and is coupled with a refrigerator, and one is a stand up freezer and the other is regular sized freezer on one side and a refrigerator on the other side. I cannot even keep ice cream overnight in any of the three. It gets really soft. Why is this?

What happening to the rice to make it into white rice? Brown rice is healthier.

I want to make Roasted Tomato Soup but the last step in the recipe I found is to pass the final mixture through a food mill fitted with the coarsest blade. I don't have a food mill and don't think I want to buy one so is there a way around the food mill. I do have a very old Cuisinart, if that would work.

Thanks for the help!

I have seen the technique described in many magazines and am curious. Is the turkey better because of it? Does it make the bird salty? Is there a standard recipe or variations? Please share your experiences and recipes.

On our local radio station they were saying all the things that a cucumber can do. Here are some of the things. fix a squeaky door, shine shoes, put it in the roof of your mouth after eating garlic so you get no bad breath, clean faucets wit no streaks, it gives you energy better then an energy drink.

I moved into an ancient apartment with an oven to match and I need a thermometer that will display the internal oven temp externally, without me having to open the door and lose heat. There is no window on the oven.

Is this an old wive's tale, or does it really work? Is there any benefit to doing this? Is it even safe for the cats, due to the Salmonella issue?

recipe from 11/14/2009 about sausage,grits and cheese-buttermilk pancakes-cheese biscuits

holding the cell phone in the managers office for the remainder of that employee's shift?

We have lunch meat, raw meat, yogurt, eggs, butter, veggies, juice, tons of salad dressings and such, miracle whip, butter etc... (I poured the milk out) But I wonder....the raw meat and lunch meat and miracle whip that I 'temped' came to about 45-46 degrees. I wonder if it bad enough to throw out. It would be very hard to tell if we got sick from anything, because we are already sick!!!

I dont even know if Sugar Free Donuts even exist but if they do I would like to know where to buy them from. I live in The South if that helps any. I dont have diabetes but I would like to cut down on my refined sugars to be more healthy. My favorites are Vanilla Cream Filled.

I would prefer a recipe thats sugar free if possible but I would be willing to accept a recipe for it with sugar added if necessary. Just in case you dont know what Im talking about its a kind of dessert pizza that I first tried at "Golden Corral" and Im not sure but I believe its on a sugar cookie crust with cream cheese icing and different kinds of fruit on it.

This happens EVERY time I do the dishes, and I can't scratch it coz my hands are submerged in soapy bubbles! There must be a scientific answer to this?
