I jes watched this program, on Youtube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=phit6HSJqZc What's up with that? I've been eating peanuts since I was jes a wee tad. I think my grandparents jes put 'em out as a diversion fer candy, which they seldom had.... well "hard candy" in the "proper" living room which we seldom ventured into. Regardless, I'm a confirmed "peanut junkie". I seldom eat 'em anymore, but love peanut-buttter, raw peanuts, salted, etc. What about you? ;) nb |

I started eating peanuts and peanut butter at an early age and still have it a couple of times a week. We also played in dirt, shared a popsicle and sodas. Makes for healthy kids. |

I used to love them and it was my job to put them out for company. Used to be all the oil traveled to the bottom so when you turned the can upside down, you had to blot the excess oil off. Excess oil is no longer the case and the peanuts don't seem as tasty to me. Now I like Redskins better. I keep searching for good peanuts otherwise but not finding them. The worst to me are the blister fried ones. Ick. |

When I was a kid nearly everyone brought a PB or PB&J sandwich for lunch. As a military brat, we moved a lot so I went to a lot of different schools. I never saw a classmate break out in hives for any reason, much less due to contact with a peanut. I love to snack on dry roasted lightly salted peanuts. I like the Publix brand natural PB (no added sugar) on toast for breakfast once in a while. Peanut butter cookies are tasty, too. I even like boiled green peanuts as a snack from time to time. :) Jill |

First rule is, you fill the fryer or a same size deep pot with water to where you think the oil should be. Then you immerse the turkey or something the same size and weight as the turkey and see how much liquid splashes out. If it splashes out, oh boy, you're probably going to catch your house on fire.

With a large roasting chicken I quarter it and roast it in a pan, most times I portion it in eights... much easier method to serve a hot from the oven roasted chicken. Sometimes the portioned chicken is placed on a bed of veggies; spuds, celery, carrots, etc... saves having to scrub a rack. It's been many years since I roasted a chicken whole. I like to remove the backbone anyway, don't need spinal fluid flavoring. I like to remove the rib bones too, easy to pull out cleanly with a paper towel. |

You start with a HUGE NAVY pot like Sheldon has. One that will easily fit a large turkey with plenty of room to spare. You put your turkey in the pot, then fill it with water up to desired level at least 2-3" over the turkey and still leaving several inches of air space over top of the liquid. Then you remove the turkey, and dry it off inside and out. Measure the water left in the pot and that's how much oil you put in to cook the turkey. Take that pot and the gas burner way out in the back yard well away from the house then turn it on and bring the oil up to the proper temperature. When ready to add the turkey, it must be lowered VERY SLOWLY into the hot oil otherwise it will bubble over and start a fire. It took us about 2 minutes to slowly lower the turkey in. Once in, it only took about 40 minutes to cook the giant turkey. And as I said, very delicious turkey and not oily at all but I missed the inside oven roasting smell plus that pan stuffing they made really sucked. > > Jill <---not interested in deep fried turkey |

Good, but a lot of work and oil. I had the pot and burner out on the lawn. |

Men like to muck around with fire, especially in the wild and woolly environment that is the suburban backyard. But whether they cook the food well is another matter, especially if they're barbeklutzing in a beer fog. |

Perhaps you've only had mediocre foods. If you try a nicely cooked Spatchcocked chicken or a rib eye on the rotisseries or brisket from the smoker you may see some foods can be better. Even a natural casing hot dog is better off the grill than anything you can do in the house. Again, many other things are just personal preference. You can make excellent corn on the cob in the microwave, but the corn off the grill is very different. You may prefer one over the other. |

More than anything how food turns out is up to the one who actually cooks it... a steak doesn't give a rat's ass whether it's cooked indoors or outdoors. An awful lot of so-called celebrity chefs have proven to me many times that they can't cook a lick. With 99% of those FoodTV chefs if not for their kitchen crew behind the scenes they couldn't operate a roach coach. As soon as I see how they handle cutlery I know they don't belong in a kitchen... I've seen no more than two who can carve a roast... Yan and Pepin are the only two who know to handle cutlery... I'd say Martin Yan is a far better cook.... I owned a 5 star eatery I'd rather employ one Martin Yan than ten Pepins. |

Sometimes I get lucky when someone makes some really good potato salad. One thing you forgot; in addition to undercooked stuff, there is also the occasional tough or stringy meat, usually but not always caused by bargain meat. Even so, it can still be fun if you enjoy the company. Not every meal needs to be the King's vittles. |

Most times the main event is cheap bologna sandwiches on white bread with yallow mustard. |

The secret I posted here years ago and several times but no one
believed... rotisserie chicken is Russion Roulette... most times it's fine but one never knows... even we buy one 'bout once a year. But most times we buy an Oven Roaster when they are 80¢-90¢ Per LB, a much better deal than those scrawny $5 twirly birds that are old as the hills but saved with excessive salting: https://www.tasteofhome.com/article/...serie-chicken/ |

I love, love, love grilled corn on the cob! In the husk. Peel the husks back to remove the silk. Put the husks back in place and soak the ears in a bucket of fresh cold salted water, so the husks won't burn. Shake them to get rid of excess water. Grill the corn over indirect coals, turning frequently, so the husks dry out. Don't worry if they get a bit charred! After about 25-35 minutes the corn is perfectly cooked. It tastes so much better than from microwaved or boiled corn on the cob. Brush with some lightly herbed butter. Delicious! Another thing to do with grilled corn. Ditto peeling back the husk and removing the silk. Then soaking. But before grilling, brush the cob with butter or olive oil. Lay some stalks of of fresh herbs along the cob before putting the husk back in place. Fresh basil, sprigs of marjoram or thyme, things like that. Turn the corn frequently, same as above. While the corn is cooking, you can also grill whatever else you'd like, be it a couple of steaks, or some other veggies alongside. :) Jill |

Of course it also depends on what's for dinner, stews, soups, and pasta cook easier indoors. Steaks burgers and chops cook easier outdoors. In summer veggies from the garden cook a lot easier on the grill... we love grilled slabs of eggplant and zukes. This spring I promise to set up the new Weber. However we don't have much company anymore, most old friends are gone. This week the three grands will be visiting, last of the skiing. They're teens now and they love to eat. |

If it is really freshly picked I don't ever bother soaking it. Just turn it frequently until the husk is charred. Thanks to a suggestion here I started eating it with lime juice and chili powder. > Jill |

It is the cooking method that makes a difference. Some foods benefit from the open flame. I can make burgers in a pan, but they are better on a grill same with hot dogs. I made some natural casing dogs the other day. Only thing that comes close is those cookers that roll the dogs while cooking them. Fry pans are not the same. |

I prefer steaks, chops, and burger cooked in a skillet... and I much prefer tube steaks simmered, gets rid of much of the salts and red dye... and can still griddle them some. But what I really like grilled outdoors are veggies, thick slabs of eggplant, zukes, onions, peppers, tomatoes, spuds, butternut squash, etc. When the garden is producing is a good time to light off the grill and then may as well cook the entre meal outdoors... however I really don't enjoy eating outdoors, in summer it's too hot and buggy so I bring the food inside and enjoy the A/C and bug free. |
