How To Grill Salmon

Annette165 — Mon, 10 Apr 2006 12:33:00 -0500

Salmon is great on the grill and good for you! Its relatively high fat content (for fish!) means it can stand up to grilling with less chance of drying out than some of its leaner relatives.

Choose filets about one inch thick.
Remove skin if desired. Some people prefer to grill it with skin intact and then season or sauce afterward, but if you want to pre-season, it's best to remove skin first so the fish is seasoned on both sides.

How To Cook Food on Your Car Engine

The2 — Tue, 23 Oct 2007 13:44:56 -0500

You might wonder why you would ever want to cook food on your car engine. I say, why wouldn't you?

It can be a practical solution on long road trips: Now you won't have to eat that crappy fast food. Or it can be something to try just for fun. It's really easy to do. All you need is aluminum foil, a car and some food.

Decide what you want to cook. You can cook almost anything on your car engine. It works like a slow-cooking microwave, so, depending on how long you'll be driving, you can make most meals work. I wouldn't suggest soup, but other than that, have at it!

I chose a chicken sausage since I knew it was pre-cooked (so I wouldn't kill myself if I messed it up), easy to wrap and wouldn't take long to be ready.

How To Freeze Strawberries

Freezing strawberries is a fabulous way to enjoy their fresh sweet taste all year round. Generally speaking, strawberries that have been frozen and then thawed will not retain their original shape and texture, so they are best used as an ingredient in sauces, preserves, jams, smoothies, or in baked goods. Frozen strawberries make a great garnish for cocktails or mixed drinks like margaritas or daiquiris.
