I know, generic message. But I need a site that tells me how to
prepare items. For instance, I was looking for instructions how on
long to boil sausage. It is not on the package and I am a bachelor!


Is there any helpful sites that tell you have to prepare things?

Thanks

This looks like a neat site that might help:

http://www.foodsubs.com/

And this one:

http://www.cookingwithkids.com/tips/general.html

And he

http://www.goodlookincookin.com/arti...ng_methods.htm

Just took a few minutes using google.com. :-)

Best thing to do tho' is to make a habit out of watching cooking shows.
Most cable companines now carry "The cooking channel".

Good luck!

As for boiling sausage, depends on the type!
Raw sausage, about 15 minutes.
When you stab it, the juices should be clear.

Cured/pre-cooked sausage (like a lot of the commercial smoked sausages,)
just long enough to heat it, like maybe 5 to 10 minutes, but I usually
slice that in half down the middle and heat it in a skillet until brown.
Comes out yummier IMHO.

Yeah, take mine. Won't solve your problem but it sure would make some of mine
disappear.

What kind of sausage? Most sausages are best cooked in a hot pan.
Just cook the sauces in a hot plan and turn them frequently until
they are nice and browned all over. You might also find cooking
directions on the sausage package.

For general cooking information, get a book called the Joy of
Cooking. This is a very good book about basic cooking concepts.
