That's the best cookware on the planet... nothing else comes close... my 18
quart voluptuous PIAZZA.

> Lets see the finished product too, please?

Unfortunately that was a previous year ... this is the first St. Paddy's Day
I can remember that I'm not cooking corned beef... absolute truth is that
after reading all the fercocktah methods used by people here I lost my
appetite. But I did do the green, a ten quart pot of pea soup

As in the RFC cookbook:
---= Corned Beef =---



Choose good grade of thin-cut corned beef (I prefer Nathan's).

Cook in the largest pot you own. Seriously, cook in lots of water. First,
rinse corned beef and and discard spices if present (old spices were used
up), or save spice packet if present. Start in cold water. Bring to the
boil (uncovered). Simmer 1/2 hour, dump water! Yes, discarding water
removes excess salt/nitrites. Okay, now the actual cooking begins. Start
in cold water (again? yes, again!). Add spice packet (if none exists or
since you dumped the first batch, add new pickling spices. Bring to the
boil, lower heat to low simmer. Simmer aproximately 1 hour and add peeled
carrots (whole) and unpeeled potatoes (whole), bring to simmer again and add
cabbage wedges. Simmer til veggies are tender and remove. Continue
simmering til corned beef is tender yet firm; test with fork (your forking
may vary). Remove corned beef to roasting pan fat side up, cover liberally
with brown sugar, tent loosely with foil, and place in 325 F oven for 30-45
minutes. Remove corned beef from oven (now place veggies in oven to
reheat). Let corned beef rest uncovered 15 minutes. With sharp knife slice
thinly accross grain, and serve with veggies, mustard, and beer.

I was going to ask if that was a 12 or 16 quart pot, but I see it's an
18 quart. Nice untensil!

Yes indeed, a fine Italian-made product purchased and touted by the

About a dozen years ago Williams Sonoma started selling the line, so I
bought one of each of all they were selling. I wish they would have
continued and added more from the line but for whatever reason they
discontinued selling them and concentrated on the crappy over priced foodtv
brands like all-crap and the like. I paid only $80 for that 18 quart
beauty... in fact I remember telling folks here about it but I know of only
one person who says they bought one... and this is the heavy weight model,
PIAZZA makes three different weights... and this 18 quart is one of their
smallest stockpots

PIAZZA is no fly by night micky mouse cookware company... as anyone willing
to wait for their massive cataloge to downlaod will learn.

My stove is nothing special, an ordinary GE Profile, about ten years old.
So what happened to your Maytag?

Brooklyn1.
Damn, I hope I never get you mad at me!
I love you stove and pot. Both look so old world (well made), a
beauty that is lacking in today's appliances. Also, I love those big
handles on the pot too!
Twenty pounds of corned beef? Man, you must have been cooking for
a crowd! It looks good and I am sure it was!

Did you download the catalog... too much to choose from. You can buy PIAZZA
under the name Signature Select:
http://www.bakedeco.com/Signature_se...-duraware.html

I don't know why people are so thin skinned, where I grew up in Broooklyn
real friends would be insulted if their pals didn't honor their ethnicity
with some disparaging ethnic pet name. A lotta kids had the same first
name, so to differenciate the only way was to ask about Guinea John, John
the Mick, John the Pollock, and so on, no one took offence, those were truly
terms of endearment. When I was in grade school my next door neighors were
Irish. Their daughter Mary Donnally was my best friend, she was a tom boy.
Mary was my skating partner, every Saturday moring Mary and I would ride our
bikes to the Park Circle rink where we'd skate all day. Little did I know
that Mary would begin to develop at nine years old, by ten she had the
biggest bosoms in the neighborhood. And Mary was very proud of her
"ladies", she had no qualms about showing them off either, she'd flash them
every chance she got. Mary was always up for a moonlight skinny dip at
Coney Island. Now just to show yoose what a dumb Mick Irish Red was (Mary
had bright red hair) she'd go around bragging about why her puppies were so
huge was because she was born by Sicilian Section.

"Sicillan section?" Cute.

Sounds like you have some wonderful memories. I do too. I remember
running home after playing as a child, my parents being home, cooking,
and a great dinner was always had. All I had to do was decide which
friends to hang out with that day. Life was simple and fun.

I miss those times and I dearly miss my parents.

And what about The Great One's 2lb wedge of Fatchamattaroni cheese
(obviously then a term of endearment but now the spineless population
considers it a dago slur). And it would take years to decipher The Bunkers.
And what would the sexism police make of the name Clarabelle... probably the
clown costume Duh'Weenie uses to lure Peanut Gallery kidlets to Doodyville
AZ, where that Phineass T. Bluster look-alike plies his DillyDalliance
sickness!

That's why the little dears are such whining pussies...if they aren't
careful they'll grow up to be like Lil' Wayne, a monstrous fate indeed.

Heck, if you remade _The Honeymooners_ today you couldn't even have a Mrs.
Manicotti...Ed Norton couldn't be the coach of the stick ball league 'cos he
doesn't have a PhD...Trixie and Alice would have to be wimmin's
libbers...etc...they couldn't even have that "Neapolitan Knockwurst" that
Ralph so craves.

I've sat down some yung un's to watch some _Honeymooners_ episodes, some are
"SHOCKED" by the "sexism", etc. That's what life was like - and largely
still is...and Alice and Trixie were TOUGH, that made 'em strong, and so
they always ruled the roost.

Near as I can tell, this ain't the 50s or the 60s so those terms of
endearment don't work no more. That's just the way it is. :-) Feel free
to address your close friends in this manner though - with their
permission.

I used to go to school with a guy named Dago. We were so dumb back then
that we thought it was just his name, he called himself Dago and that's
how it was printed in our high school yearbook.

I saw the guy, whose real name is Robert the other day - he told me that
he's a pastor at a church he started. Things have sure changed. He got
religious, we both grew up and got a lot smarter, the world is a
different place. Me call him "Dago?" No ****ing way...
