Can you microwave savaloy sausages?

You can cook link sausages by wrapping them in a paper towel and making sure they are turned around every 30 seconds. Patties are harder because they form hot spots and don't cook evenly.

Depends if they are pre-cooked when you buy them. It should say on the label. If raw, cook on the stove top starting with a little water in the pan. It will evaporate and then you will be able to brown the sausages a little. If pre-cooked, you can heat them in the microwave, it only takes 40-60 seconds. They'll probably split open. Of course if you want a little browning on them you have to use the stove top, but you won't have to add water.

From the Preparedness Blog Network: How To Salt Fish.

I recently came across a cookbook from the 1850s. That cookbook is very interesting covering all types of pioneer cooking. One of the articles covers the preserving of shad, a type of fresh water fish. The recipe used for shad can be used for any fish.

The following recipe is taken directly from the cookbook.

"Clean the shad nicely, place them in layers with back down, and laid open so as the inside of the fish may be up. Sprinkle each fish plentifully with ground salt, and let them stand twenty four hours. This draws out all the blood. Wipe them all dry with clean napkins.

Place them in layers in a clean tub, with the backs down as before. For one hundred shad take half a lb. saltpetre, and 2 pounds of brown sugar. Strew plenty of rock salt over them with the saltpetre and sugar, there is no danger of putting on too much salt as they will only absorb a certain quantity."

As you can see, this is a very simple recipe. You will notice this recipe uses quite a bit of salt, I strongly recommend that everybody store at least 100 pounds of salt, if you intend to do any food preserving. Saltpeter or saltpetre is commonly known as potassium nitrate.

How do you carve a leg of lamb?

Remove the atch bone and split the leg from the atch bone to the shin, removing the cartilage at the knee, then remove the bottom bone at the ankle.

How do you remove sweetness of potatoes?

boil two peeled and cubed potatoes, to dilte by volume, then add a small splash of white vinegar to balance the sweet with sour, which makes it tangy, and add a generous sprinkle of black pepper to give some bit to balance all the favors. Alternatively, you can rinse off half the salad in a colander and drain, then return to the rest of the salad, and you will have less of the dressing including the vinegar.

What is a good cookbook to use when learning how to cook?

Find a recipe that seems appetizing and within your skill range. Follow the recipe as closely as possible. After making the same recipe a few times you should have it basically memorized and be able to improvise and add or remove certain ingredients (etc) - experiment with enough recipes and you will be coming up with your own culinary combinations in no time. For specific cooking skills (like blanching, frying etc) if you don't get it right just keep practicing. Cooking is fun and it gets easier the more you do it.

How hot will a stove burner get?

Why does milk neutralize spicy foods?

Yes. A chemical called capsaicin in the peppers binds to your taste buds and feels like they are burning the hell out of your mouth. Water does nothing, really, but dillute it momentarily, and sugary juices make it worse by opening up your taste buds and allowing more capsaicin in. Milk, on the other hand, binds to capsaicin more tightly than capsaicin binds to your taste buds. When you drink the milk down, the capsaicin goes down with it.

Good Luck!

Can dry sherry substitute for dry white wine?

In a pinch you can usually make this substitution in a recipe while only slightly negatively impacting the quality of the dish. It's better than leaving the sherry out altogether. Things labeled "cooking wine" are generally the lowest quality sherry with some salt and possibly other seasonings added. So you may want to adjust the salt called for in the recipe to account for the fact that you're adding salt with the cooking wine. Real dry sherry is generally quite inexpensive and might even be cheaper ounce for ounce than supermarket cooking wine. So why not have some on hand?

Typically a breadfruit is peeled, chopped into cubes, and then boiled in lightly-salted water for about 15 minutes. After this it can be fried or added to stews, with or without meat.
