I use my electric pressure cooker to make hard boiled eggs.

Good idea. How long does it take?

Good idea. How long does it take?

Takes about 20 min, I set it for 6 minutes and it takes 12 to 15 to come to pressure. They peel so easy! I can't get over it.

How many do you normally do at a time?

Most I've done is 9. Doesn't matter how fresh the eggs are, they peel perfectly. I can't believe they don't explode. lol

I've heard of that being done for commercially sold hard boiled eggs, and those that use fresh eggs from thier own chickens, for the "easy peeling" purpose. To be honest, I never gave it a thought because of time issues. But, maybe I'll rethink it.

I used to put them in a pot of cold water, bring it to a boil for a minute, cover and turn off the heat for 15 minutes. Then dump em in ice water. Now I don't have to monitor anything, just set the time, lock the lid, and it beeps when they're done. Woot woot!

Thoughts?™

My gosh that looks good.

Hey, behr, quinoa.

The actual "word" looks good included in a menu description, for those that know what it is and know it's health benefits. You would be surprised at how many don't know anything about it.

Personally, I'd rather eat cous cous, but rather it over rice, in most cases.

I'll be glad to answer differently, if you want to be more specific.

 

[Behr]

I'll add, My opinions differ, between restaurant use and person use, and sometimes I confuse myself when answering some questions.

If that makes sense.

That my friend, in my opinion, is a visual oxymoronic culinary orgasm.

Complex simplicity.

The wife has been making lots of quinoa dishes lately. I'm a fan.

Good deal. I remember from back in the day thinking she sounded like a cool girl, obviously she can cook and enjoys trying/doing different things. How is her Spanakorizo, with quinoa, I know she's at least made a version.

HELP! I had a dessert a LONG time ago and can't find it anywhere. It was a baked (?) dish of blueberries with some type of crumbles. Even though it was made by a bammer friend, it had to be one of the best desserts that ever crossed my palete.

Any idea?

TIA

 

[Behr]

Well, since it was a bammer, it had to be simple like Blueberry Crisp. You could probably find it in the frozen section at Wal-mart. If you live in Bama, I advise you to go check it out before January 9th.

Behr I know you don't do a lot of baking, but I wonder if I could substitute the red velvet Oreos for the chocolate to make a cheesecake crust? I used the chocolate last time (have to scrape out the filling) but this one is for a family Christmas party, and the red crust would (I think) be really pretty with the cranberry swirl cheesecake.

I'm not familiar with the Red velvet Oreos, but if the cookie rounds are soft, I would think that, and the cream wouldn't provide the kind of texture you would want. If they're crunchy, like the regular ones, I would scrape off the cream and try it.

Haven't opened them yet, but that's what I'll use to decide. Gonna do a dry run tomorrow night and see how it turns out. Thanks Behr!

 

[Behr]

I just re-read your post then my response. My reading comprehension sucked.

If the cookie part is crunchy like the regular ones, I think it's a great idea and I would try it.

I'll let ya know how it turns out!

 

[Behr]

I'll be interested in the outcome.


I hate when I do what I bihct about others doing. Responding before I read the whole post. But in my defense, I was in a hurry.
