In my experience good quality eggplant does not need salting to draw out the bitterness but it does help the texture by drawing off a lot of the water. Sprinkle both sides of 1/2 to 1" slices with salt and let sit on a rack for 1-3 hours. Rinse to remove salt then pat dry with paper towels. -- Peter Aitken Remove the crap from my email address before using. |

Raw eggplant reminds me of Styrofoam. > >> Will it bake in my toaster oven well? > >Slice, rub with olive oil, grill until tender. Learnt from an erstwhile colleague recently... For quick eggplant snack: select a nice firm fruit of appropriate size for your appetite; trim off the calyx bits and wash; stick a knife into it in a few places, then microwave for about three minutes (depending on size, MW power, and similar variables); cut in half lengthways and apply plenty of fresh pepper, then cool until approachable. Scoop out with a spoon to eat. Cheers, Phred. -- LID |

THIEF! maybe a lesson in header reading is in your future. i'm not at work. i'm at home. and i don't work for infoave.net or my isp, which by the way, leases their network from infoave. of course with the internet savvy you've gleaned from being an aol user, i wouldn't expect you to know or understand. |
