Fast Food My Way

Fast Food My Way

In Jacques Pépin Fast Food My Way, the man who taught millions of Americans how to cook shares the techniques he honed in the most famous kitchens of the world to show you how to create simple, special meals in minutes.
In this companion volume to his new series on public television, Jacques shows you how to create great-tasting dishes ranging from stunning salads such as Tomato and Mozzarella Fans to Supreme of Chicken with Balsamic Vinegar and Shallot Sauce to his breathtaking Almond Cake with Berries, all special enough for company, yet easy enough for those weekday evenings when you have no time.
Fast food Jacques’s way involves no compromises in taste but saves you hours in the kitchen. His Instant Beef Tenderloin Stew, for instance, not only is far faster to make than traditional versions, but tastes brighter and fresher. With concise, clear directions, Jacques shares the secrets of his kitchen. He teaches you how to season a salmon fillet perfectly and cook it in a low oven, right on the serving platter. You'll learn how to make a satisfying homemade vegetable soup in seconds, a baked potato in half the usual time, and a succulent roast that takes minutes, not hours, to prepare. He also shows you how to create elegant meals from convenience foods: a bean dip that will keep guests coming back for more, silky soups, and caramelized peaches made from canned peaches.
With Jacques Pépin Fast Food My Way at your side, the best food is always the simplest.

Over time, in his cookbooks, and on his TV series, Jacques Pépin has taught people how to cook simple, fully flavored dishes--food that reflects his French training while embracing American informality. Jacques Pépin: Fast Food My Way takes this approach one step further by providing 100-plus recipes for a wide range of delicious, meant-to-be fast dishes. These include Stuffed Scallops on Mushroom Rice; Chicken Breasts on Mashed Cauliflower with Red Salsa; Pasta, Ham, and Vegetable Gratin; and Apple, Pecan, and Apricot Crumble. The "my way" of the title can mean the use of time-saving tools (Pépin uses pressure cookers to achieve easy stews like his beef short-rib, mushroom, and potato dish) and convenience foods (canned black bean soup or sweet potatoes for new soup versions). Generally, though, the Pépin approach emphasizes the use of foods that are themselves quickly cooked, like chicken breasts or beef fillet and that can be made flavorful with equally fast-to-fix accompaniments, like his salsa mayonnaise or his tomato-olive sauce.

Fast is, of course, a relative term, and readers will find more than a few dishes in the book that may require more time or attention than they're willing to spend on a daily basis. But overall, the book offers enough easily made recipes, and super-time-saving formulas, like Instant Vegetable Soup, to make it a true cooking resource. --Arthur Boehm

Is helping the most oppressed people in a country considered racism?

Question by Queeny: Is helping the most oppressed people in a country considered racism?
If so was USA discriminating to help the white Jews in Germany?
If so is helping the poor and not the rich discriminatory?
Are mestizo latinos helping mestizo latinos discriminatory in Latin America?

Then why is helping black people ONLY discriminatory?<
Why do black people listen to whites? Why do they say "they should help themselves"? when those are the exact words the white man said about us(but not about themselves?)

My family has gained much in life, and my father dedicated his youth to helping blacks in our community. We have always gone against mainstream society. Which many black youth are ignorant and starting to adopt white society into their own lives

When you gain achievement and education you want to spread that to others, not be selfish and say "they can get their own"<
If you got it on your own, then who gave you your job? Who gave you the opportunities you have now? Obviously many black people had to die for the few rights we have now..so no, you didn't get it on your own.

Answer by phIGMENT
The hard truth of the matter is that white Americans [{--->hate<---}] Blacks, and will do anything in their power to make sure they are as miserable as humanly possible

Forget about reparations, its never going to happen. White people don't even care about the racism that's going on today, let alone what went on in the past

@ anonymous: LOL. You are effing hilarious. Black Americans BUILT America you idiot, 350 years of slavery launched America forward economically at a pace that would never otherwise have happened, added to that is the fact that practically every vestige of American culture has it's roots in Black communities, from rock & roll to Jazz, to disco . Then there are the oceans of inventions blacks created but will never get credit for as long as white men are writing the "history" books

Why does my gas stove not bake well?

Question by bella log: Why does my gas stove not bake well?
Just bought a new gas range. I always had a gas range with propane. We needed a new one. Boy I'm not sure if this range is defected or I am not doing something right. Well being that we just purchased this range a 2wks prior to christmas is not the greatest when you need to do some serious baking. Tried the oven for the 1st time. Okay so I understand all ovens varies but this is ridiculous. The recipe calls for 350 degrees 10-15mins bake. First batch it took more than 15mins and they were still very light color on top. I couldn't believe I never had to bake cookies for over 15mins. Did these same cookies in the prior gas stove not for this long. Put the 2nd batch same degrees and time and they burnt. Third batch lowered the time and they weren't cook so had to up it. This is crazy. This stove is only 2wks old. Called the store where I purchased the stove and they sent a service guy. He checked the temp. He actually told me that the temp of the stove was 25 degrees too high so he lowered it. Okay. We decided to test the oven again and bake more cookies. He seemed to have made it even worse. The cookies wouldn't rise, were flat, and took longer to bake. The cookies were soo hard. We threw them out. We decided to play with the temp. and we actually had to go 50 degrees higher than what the recipe said. More now that the service guy decrease the temp 25 degrees. They did rise somewhat but still very light on top and seems to take long. I have major baking to do for christmas breads, cookies, etc. I wish they would take the stupid stove back. What do I do from here? Do I call the service guy again? He seemed to have screwed it up even more. What is wrong with this stove? Never had this problem with my other gas range. Its soo true they don't make them like they use too. I should have gotten the convention oven. Please any advice would be great.
This is a brand NEW stove........

You just need to clean the gas stove pipe as there might have some dirt which comes from the stove and do check its burner by piercing the holes of it

Perfectly Cooked Rice with the NP-HBC18

Comes with a rice measuring cup and a rice spatula with holder. Menu settings include: white rice, brown rice, sushi rice, mixed rice, and porridge.

Make Every Type of Rice

Brown Rice

This is a menu setting designed to cook delicious brown rice. In order to cook hard rice bran and the rice inside, preheating time is extended for better absorption of water, and is cooked at a lower temperature to allow the rice to cook longer without becoming mushy.

Sushi Rice

Because sushi rice will be processed after it's cooked, it's easier to handle when it is a little firmer. This menu setting is very similar to regular white rice, but uses less water (adjusted by the water fill lines) for a firm finish.

Mixed Rice

Mixed rice is rice cooked with additional ingredients and seasonings. This setting extends preheating for better absorption of seasoning. Also, the cooking temperature is slightly lower than regular white rice, to avoid ingredients from boiling over.

Porridge

Instead of cooking rice in larger amounts of water and risk making it sloppy, use the porridge setting to cook fluffy porridge. Cooking temperature is slightly lower than regular white rice, to be cooked longer for soft texture.

GABA Brown Rice

A newly discovered way of cooking brown rice to "activate" it and increase natural occurring gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), an amino acid in brown rice believed to have health giving properties such as lowering blood pressure, improving kidney function and relieving stress. The brown rice is "activated" by soaking it at 104°F for 2 hours before the actual cooking begins. All Induction Heating System rice cookers, including the IH Pressure models, have the GABA brown rice setting.

Easy-to-read LCD control panel

Zojirushi NP-HBC18 Features

• cETLus listed, tested to comply with FCC standards

Detachable inner lid for easy cleaning

MICOM (Microcomputer) Technology

Aided by microcomputer technology, this category of rice cooker takes having rice on your menu from occasional to serious. MICOM allows the cooker to have multiple functions on its menu, making it a necessity for any avid rice fan who wants to incorporate rice into her daily diet. The microchip does all the thinking for you by, based on the type of rice you are cooking, from adjusting cooking times, temperatures, and timing the pre-soak of the raw grains to the final "wait" period during steaming.

Conventional rice cookers simply turn on and off in reaction to temperature. The "fuzzy logic" of MICOM fine-tunes this adjustment to adapt to various rice types, such as white, brown, sweet or porridge, which all have different cooking requirements. The trigger to everything is the thermal sensor, a small round button at the bottom of the inner body of the cooker. As the inner pan's weight rests on it and activates the sensor, it starts the cooking process and keeps an eye on the temperature and time.

Induction Heating (IH) system for precise temperature control

Induction Heating took rice cooking to another level by introducing another dimension to the heating process. Where the heating element would normally be located at the bottom of the cooker, IH transforms the entire inner cooking pan into a heat conductor, allowing for higher, more precise and more uniform cooking temperatures.

Induction heating occurs when a magnetic material enters a magnetic field. This is recreated by passing an electric current through coils located at the bottom of the rice cooker's body. As the special, 2-ply inner cooking pan is placed inside, a magnetic field is created, which in turn generates instant heat. The entire cooking pan becomes the heat source, with the ability to cook at higher temperatures, which can be turned on and off instantly for greater control.

Spherical inner cooking pan and heating system provide even heating for perfectly cooked rice

Accessories include rice measuring cup, nonstick rice spatula and spatula holder

A few questions about canning and pickling. Anyone?

Question by sodakians: A few questions about canning and pickling. Anyone?
I have several pounds of jalapenos that I would like to pickle. I found a couple instructional videos online as well as a few written recipes. My main question is about the pressure cooker. I have been told by some that as long as everything is well sterilized and the brine was brought to a proper boil, there is no need to use the cooker. Is this true? Also, the cooker I have is made for a gas stove. Mine is a flat range electric, so I don't dare use it. Are there any alternatives? The last question is about the recipes themselves. Most of them consist of white vinegar, water and sugar (herbs and garlic optional). I have also read that the sugar will "tame" the jalapenos. I do not want them to be "tamed". Is the sugar absolutely necessary in the process to preserve them, or is it for the taste?

Thanks in advance for anyone who can help. It's much appreciated!

Most people seem to like gas, but I hate it. I've converted gas stoves to electric in the last 4 houses I've lived in:) I've had smoothtop cooktops for 30+ years, and would never have anything else.
