Using a wet Bain Marie
When serving eggs in a buffet setting put them over ice to keep them cool. Doing so will also prevent discoloration.
you can freeze mashed potatoes, thaw out natural, i add cream cheese and sour cream to my mashed potatoesMore information:While it is possible to freeze mashed potatoes, and they will be safe to eat when thawed and warmed, their texture will suffer. Many people do not care for the watery texture of frozen and reheated potatoes of any sort. Cream cheese and sour cream would improve the final texture.
Drain of the water and store then in a plastic bag in the fridge.
I think you mean a rechaud?
A chafing plate or chafing dish is a shallow pan or dish used to keep food warm at a table or on a buffet.
Bacteria. Specifically S.pyogenes. This bacteria is present in the environment, and loves to grow on the starch in potatoes and rice. Don't leave your potatoes out of the fridge uncovred for too long, and definitely do not eat potatoes that have been in the fridge for more than a week. i won't even eat refrigerated mashed potatoes after 3 days.Other bacteria will also infest mashed potatoes if you put dairy in it, and the dairy will sour just as milk does after staying in the fridge for too long. No more than three days storage for potatoes with dairy. When you reheat do it in the oven or stove top. reheating potatoes in the microwave typically does not keep them hot enough for long enough to kill the bacteria.The good news is majority of the "food poisoning" you would get from typical potato bacterias would only last 12-24 hours...
One reason is to help keep the bird from drying out and the meat becoming tough and chewy. Another reason is adding stuffing makes for a wonderfully flavored side dish on the dinner table - covered with gravy and served alongside mashed potatoes and some green veggies.
Red potatoes with skin, anything else without. Actually, you can boil any potato with the skin on for mashed potatoes. Most of the vitamins and minerals are located just under the skin. If you peel the potato, there goes the good stuff. If you don't care for the skins either half peel the pots for less skins or use a ricer and the peels will remain in the ricer. It will be awfully fiddly taking the peel off afterwards, especially if you havent a ricer, if you want to keep the skins on for cooking, why not bake first, then cool a little and then take off the skins. Personally, I have always taken off the peel, and mashed, you do not really lose much , and if mashed with olive oil, until smooth, absolutely smashing.
The people that keep the serving dishes filled on a buffet are called runners.
Make sure that the butter is melted and the milk warm before adding them to the potatoes. Add the butter to the potatoes first. The butter coats the starch and makes it less likely to gum up. Heating the milk helps keep the potatoes warm for longer. The best wat to keep the mashed potatoes warm and moist is to place the bowl or pot of mashed potatoes in another pot with a warm/hot water - in essense a water bath, and cover with lid or tin foil. It'll keep the potatoes evenly warm and moist.
The orphans ate lumpy, cold oatmeal day after day. That old matress is lumpy and uncomfortable. If the cake batter is lumpy, keep stirring it.
Yes. Keeping mashed potatoes on low and covered in a crock pot is an excellent way to keep them warm. Another idea (if the crock is busy with other things) is to use a hot water bath. Just place the bowl of mashed potatoes inside another bowl of warm to hot water. Use kettle water to replenish the heat of the water bath when necessary.
