We have all heard the saying "If you cant stand the heat, get out of the kitchen" and it is true, the kitchen is a stressful place to work in. Perhaps you get harassed with the high levels of noise and heat in the kitchen, struggle to make a dessert, or find that your culinary dishes are bland and uninteresting. Whatever is causing your stress, there is bound to be a nifty kitchen gadget to help you out!

Do you have children that seem to excel in making crumbs magically appear after a meal, no matter how many napkins, clothes and baleful glowers you give them? Rather than going to the time and expense of polishing the table after meal....why not use Crumb Pets? Crumb Pets are miniature vacuums shaped like an animal, so this makes cleaning up for young children a more tolerable task.

Steaks

Are you a real whiz with deserts, perhaps you want to experiment with some slightly more adventurous deserts such as Baked Alaskas or a crème bulee? It sounds extreme, but you will really need a cook's blowtorch in order to caramelize the sugar most effectively, to give that special finishing touch.

Are you a keen gardener, want to do your bit for the environment or are a keen recycler? Well why not use the waste food and organic material of your kitchen as compost, a task made all the easier by a ceramic compost crock, an innovative device that will allow you to store you kitchen waste for use as a compost without having to worry about the nasty smell rotting material can produce. The compost crocks make use of a carbon filter to help reduce the smell, and also has an air vent specifically designed to maintain the proper circulation of air throughout the crock to help retard decay. Please note however that cooked food and meat are not suitable for composting.

How many times have you struggled to open a bottle of wine? Corkscrews can be exceptionally awkward to use at the best of times, and seem to require a complete workout of the arm muscles, in areas that would be best suited for a professional rower. With an electric cork screw all of the hard work and effort is totally eliminated, and is remarkably easy to use. This handy gadget simply requires you to place it above the cork and press a button, and the cork is suctioned out of the bottle!

How Long Do You Broil Ribeye Steaks?

Introduction

You've been to the local meat department and picked up a couple of delicious looking ribeye steaks. Mmmmmmm... But now what? In this article you will discover the answer to your burning question: How long do you broil ribeye steaks? You will also discover some other informative preparation and broiling tips.

Steaks

Broiling Times

So, how long do you broil ribeye steaks? Here's the rule of thumb...

-- Rare:

Broil the steaks for three (3) minutes on each side to sear each side so that the moisture remains inside the steak (see below for tips on turning the steaks). Once each side has been seared, then the steak is done rare.

-- Medium:

-- Well Done:

Prep and Cooking Tips

-- Before broiling:

Pat the steaks with paper towels to remove all excess moisture.
Season them with season salt and black pepper. You may want to add garlic powder. Rub the seasonings into the steaks for best flavor. (Some people like to also rub in olive oil.)
Some people avoid marinating ribeyes because marinating adds moisture. You will get better tasting Ribeye steaks if you rub in dry seasonings and olive oil and broil them in dry heat.
Place oven rack in such a position to keep the steaks about six (6) inches from the broiling element.
Pre-heat the oven and broiling pan on broil (or high broil if you have such a setting on your oven) for about 15 minutes.

-- While broiling:

Keep the oven door slightly ajar.
Use tongs to turn the steaks, not a fork. By puncturing the steaks with a fork, you will lose much of the moisture in a steak that makes it tender and juicy.
You will need to adjust broiling times according to thickness. Reduce broiling time if the steaks are thin 1/2 to 3/4 inch. If the steaks are more than an inch thick, then increase broiling times an additional one (1) or two (2) minutes.

-- After broiling:

For juicier ribeye steaks, allow them to stand for five (5) minutes before serving.

Summary

You have learned the answer to your burning question: How long do you broil ribeye steaks? You have also discovered some very helpful preparation and broiling tips and advice. Of all the steaks you could have chosen, ribeye steaks are by far one of the best choices. Enjoy your tender, juicy steak dinner.

Prime Rib Cooking Times

As you look over a couple of prime rib recipes you'll notice a wide range of prime rib cooking times. Some recipes call for a cooking time of one hour and some recipes say that the roast should be cooked for six hours. Very confusing! Well, there's a reason for this discrepancy -- prime rib cooking times depend a lot on the cooking temperature and the size of the roast.

There are two basic methods for cooking prime rib roasts -- high temperature and low temperature. Each method has its advantages and there are people who swear by a one cooking process or the other. Prime rib cooking times are mostly determined by whether you are cooking the meat at high temperatures or low temperatures.

Steaks

Some people love the slow cooking methods that is used in smoker barbecues. It can't be denied that smoking brings out wonderful flavors in the prime rib and produces some of the juiciest roasts imaginable. The low temperature of smoker barbecues means that prime rib cooking times can be extended to five or six hours.

On the other hand, there are those who swear by cooking the prime rib in a hot oven. This method reduces prime rib cooking times to the minimum while searing the exterior of the meat so that it contains the juices. When placed in a 500° oven, a 12 pound roast will cook in less than an hour.

This fast cooking method, however, depends on the roast staying in the warm oven for at least one more hour after the heat is turned off. During this time, the meat is still cooking, so you could say that this method requires prime rib cooking times of three hours.

No matter which way you cook the meat, you have to check the interior temperature to make sure that it is cooked all the way through. A good-quality meat thermometer will tell you the temperature of the roast and you might have to extend the prime rib cooking times by an hour or two.

How to Pan Fry Filet Mignon

Filet mignon is a tender steak. A well-cooked filet mignon will make you close your eyes in rapture, savoring the amazing flavor and it is many people's favorite cut of meat. This boneless steak comes from the tenderloin of a cow and it is usually cut into one or two inch thick portions. This is not a cheap cut of steak so you will not want to ruin it by overcooking it or cooking it wrong! That is why learning how to pan fry filet mignon is so important.

At times, it is nice to enjoy a southern fried chicken recipe but if you are celebrating a special occasion or you want to impress your loved one with something elegant, you cannot go wrong with a classic filet mignon.

Steaks

Sometimes this cut of meat is wrapped in bacon because it is relatively lean. The fat from the bacon is a good substitute for the missing fat. If you do not want to use bacon, get pink steaks instead of red ones. The lighter the color, the more marbling (and therefore fat) the steak contains.

Filet mignon is not difficult to cook but you do need to use a high heat, whether you roast, pan fry, grill, or broil it. Because of the low fat levels, this cut of meat is prone to drying out if you overcook it so do not cook it for too long. As long as you keep these two tips in mind - a high heat and a short cooking time - your meat should come out perfect, whichever recipe you follow.

Recipe for Pan Fried Filet Mignon with a Red Wine Sauce

This recipe is suitable for cooking novices who want to impress people with a classic dish. It is easy to make and making the dish in a pan means you can keep an eye on it all the time.

Serve this recipe with French fries and glazed carrots. Some romaine salad on the side with a blue cheese dressing is also a nice side dish for this. This recipe serves four people.

What you will need:

4 filet mignon steaks, 4 oz each
4 tablespoons (half a stick) chilled butter
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/3 cup chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon capers
1/3 cup chopped shallots
2/3 cup Cabernet Sauvignon or similar red wine

How to make it:

Melt a tablespoon of the butter in a skillet over a moderately high heat. Sprinkle salt and pepper over both sides of the meat, then pan fry them. The steaks will need about four minutes per side for medium.

Put each one on a plate covered loosely with aluminum foil. Melt another tablespoon of butter in the skillet and saute the shallots for a minute. Add the capers, mustard and wine and simmer the sauce for two minutes or until it thickens a bit.

Stir in the parsley and turn the heat down to moderately low. Whisk in the rest of the butter, and then add salt and pepper to the sauce to season it. Spoon it over the meat and serve.

How to Pan Fry Filet Mignon

Filet mignon is a classy and elegant dish but not many people can afford to eat it all the time. If you are looking for something equally delicious, what about making a fried chicken recipe to delight your family? You will find a southern fried chicken recipe to be easy and delicious.

The Great Grilling Steaks of Summer

Come on over and we'll throw some steaks on the grill...often a summertime conversation amongst friends.

Well, what steaks are the best, you ask? We have tested these beauties and bring you our opinion.

\"recipe Steak\"

Here we have the 8 best steaks for grilling this summer. These steaks are a cut above the rest, and will not let you down when prepared correctly.

1. The Ribeye. A juicy, tender flavorful cut. there is generous marbling through out, and is a crowd pleaser. This cut, when left on the bone is what is known as the "prime rib" at most restaurants.

2. The Tenderloin. As the name suggests, this is the most tender of the cuts. Also known as the "Filet Mignon", it truly does melt in your mouth.

3. Flat Iron. Now here is a unknown secret, and probably is the second most tender of all the choices. A low budget choice that takes a good steak rub well.

4. Top Sirloin. Excellent choice for kabobs.

5. Tri-Tip. Flavorful, juicy and perfect for marinades. Slice it thin after preparing and the flavor bursts in your mouth.

6. Flank Steak. The perfect choice for "teriyaki". Marinate, grill, slice thin on an angle...they will be asking for more.

7. Porterhouse. Also known as the T-Bone, because the bone forms a "T" where the shell steak and the tenderloin flank each other. This is the "powerhouse" of all steaks. A man's meal.

8. Last, but not least The Strip Steak. My favorite of them all. I grill this year round. It is also known as the NY Strip, Top Loin Strip, Kansas City Strip. The steak has real character, flavor and is by far fabulous on the grill.

There you have a list of 8 wonderful choices for grilling this season. Remember to check which cut you are purchasing and check the grading carefully.

Beef is graded in three most common categories:

1) Select, the lowest grade...not much flavor, tougher to chew.
2) Choice, a much better grade than select. Some marbling in the cuts, lots of flavor.
3) Prime...clearly a cut above. Lots of marbling, loaded with flavor, my favorite selection when I am cooking or ordering at a restaurant a Strip Steak or a T Bone.

All other cuts you can stick with choice, and personally i stay away from select, as it is not worth the calories.

Protein, meat has lots of protein and that is good for you, Sure there may be some fat, but we do need some fat in our bodies. You can learn more about vitamins and minerals.

An Easy Filipino Dish - Bistek

Several Filipino dishes are very easy to make because they usually involve very few, but potent, ingredients that are slow-cooked into a sort of stew which is then poured over a generous helping of rice.

A really good example of this type of dish is a dish called Bistek. This dish is a very simple, but very highly flavorful dish that, like a lot of Filipino dishes, would be considered too strong to eat without rice. To make Bistek, one only needs four very simple ingredients: thin cut beef steaks, soy sauce, onions, and ground black pepper. Measuring spoons are optional because it is very hard to really make this dish wrong.

Steaks

All one has to do is cut their steak into approximately 4X4 inch size pieces and place them into a small pot. Then, one would pour soy sauce until half the meat is doused. The next step would be to pour water until all the meat is fully covered. Once this is done, the cook needs to bring the meat to a boil and then down to a simmer under a lid for about 20 minutes. At this time, onion can be cut into strips. After the twenty minutes are up, the onion can be thrown into the pot and the stew will need to continue simmering until the sauce is reduced by half (or more if one so desires). Pepper, to taste, can be added at anytime during this process.

Before you know it, you have put together a very authentic Filipino dish called Bistek. However, the dish should be eaten over a generous helping of rice as the flavor is quite strong by itself. Enjoy!
