Braciole with very few ings">Braciole with very few ings
In my freezer is a pack of three small, pre-stuffed (I think) beef braciole(s) I got weeks ago on special at my local (chain) supermarket. I want to prepare them in some way, but I don't have, and due to living alone without great income (much less great cooking skill),...

I mean totally blown-out wild rice - way overcooked and mushy. Or should I just cut my losses and not throw good ingredients after bad? Reading More May Cause Envy...

Cast iron/carbon steel skillet with aluminium/copper base">Cast iron/carbon steel skillet with aluminium/copper base
Hi folks, I'm in the process of buying a new skillet and came across an idea: cast iron and carbon steel can be seasoned to develop a non-stick finish. Nevertheless they perform poorly in terms of heat conduction and even spread. In stainless-steel skillets there's always an aluminium or copper disc...

I love food. Unfortunately, I can't cook worth a damn. I've been known to even burn water.

Try not to drool!
