2014 0622 My Road to Get to Know LC - Grand Opening!

Image
I had been reading and seeing plenty of information about LC from professional and the fans. In real honesty, I was stalling a bit because I don't want to ruin the beautiful LC.  It was my first and it was a gift.  However, the more I read about it.  I became confident that I can do it too.  Cooking with LC is a process, a journey.  You will be rewarded with patient and thoughtfulness.   Today, my action begins.   Grand Opening! I laid a dish towel in sink to let my Cherry Flying Heart casserole (2QT) "sink in."  So, my heart is steady and at ease to avoid any scratches.  Next, I lightly clean it with warm soupy water and a sponge.  A label is at bottom of the casserole.  A LC orange label is in the front of it.  They both need to be removed.  The LC label should be fairly easy to be peel off.  The label at bottom can be removed with the warm soupy water and a little push with my finger nail.   Once cleaned, I dried it with a dish towel and let it air.  Re

Rao's Famous Lemon Chicken (Pollo al Limone) Prep Time: 15 min Inactive Prep Time: 15 min Cook Time: 30 min Level: Easy Serves: 6 servings Ingredients 2 2 1/2-to-3-pound broiling chickens, halved 1/4 cup chopped Italian parsley Lemon Sauce (recipe follows) Directions To attain maximum heat, preheat broiler for at least 15 minutes before using. Broil chicken halves, turning once, for about 30 minutes or until skin is golden-brown and juices run clear when bird is pierced with a fork. Remove chicken from broiler, leaving broiler on.

Pour Lemon Sauce over the chicken and toss to coat well. If necessary, divide sauce in half and do this in two batches. Return to broiler and broil for 3 minutes. Turn each piece and broil for an additional minute. Remove from broiler and portion

Tips: Picnic

Keep these simple tips in mind to ensure your day is all about rest and relaxation. Freeze drinks the night before. Not only will your drinks stay cold the next day, they'll help keep your food chilled. To keep your picnic festive, bring a colorful and comfortable blanket. Extra towels can serve as pillows when sunbathing or napping. Set up your picnic in the shade. Although baskets can be quite stylish, a cooler packed with ice is safer. Make sure foods that are meant to be served cold are thoroughly cooled before packing. If you're driving, transport your cooler in the air-conditioned car, not in the trunk. Throw away any food that's been out of the cooler for more than an hour. Tips: Roasted Beef will bleed. Supplies When packing a picnic, don't forget these essentials: Blanket Insect repellent Napkins Plates Silverware Serving Utensils Cups and wine glasses Corkscrew or bottle opener Paring knife Cutting Board Condiments Damp wipes or clot
