Homemade ice cream has never tasted better than with the scrumptious results of the Cuisinart ice cream maker recipes. You can choose from so many flavors from the typically sweet vanilla to the unusually delicious tropical fruits that considering store-bought ice cream with their ho-hum flavors will never be in your plans again.
But getting your icecream fix at anytime of the day is not the only benefit to owning a Cuisinart ice-cream maker and its recipes. Because the ingredients used are all fresh and, hopefully, organic in nature, you will also be able to enjoy fresh, organic and healthy icecream. Preservatives, additives and other potentially unhealthy ingredients will not be in your homemade ice-cream as the basic ingredients consist of just milk, cream, cornstarch, sweeteners, fruits or vegetables, and natural flavorings.
Also, the Cuisinart icecream maker recipes are easy to follow with the basic instructions being to mix the wet and dry ingredients, whisk it for a while and then pour into the icecream maker. You have to wait for 20-25 minutes to achieve the desired consistency although you have a choice to either serve the ice-cream immediately or to freeze it for a few hours in the refrigerator. We prefer freezing the ice cream especially on hot days but when in winter, straight-out-of-the-machine ice cream is just as good for the palate.
Well, of course, it is not only the Cuisinart icecream machine that you will need to make delicious homemade ice cream. You also have to use a bowl, whisk and handheld mixer for mixing the ingredients as well as containers to store the ice-cream in, if you want to freeze it afterwards. Since these additional pieces of equipment are already in the kitchen, you can use the money to purchase the ingredients instead.
Just to outline in greater detail the common instructions for icecream machine recipes:
* Assemble the ice cream maker. If it is your first time using the machine, be sure to wash and rinse the bowl, mixing arm and lid while the base should be wiped clean using a damp sponge.
* Freeze the bowl. You just warp the bowl either in a plastic wrap or a freezer bag and then place it inside the freezer for 6 to 24 hours depending on the specific unit. To be always ready for ice cream time, just store the bowl in the freezer when not in use.
* Combine the ingredients. Look at the recipes, determine what needs to be used and then assemble them. Mix the ingredients according to the specific amounts and order, pour the mixture into the ice-cream maker and then turn on the machine.
* Wait for 20-25 minutes. It should be ready by then.
You can download many Cuisinart ice-cream maker recipes from the Internet as well as from the official website. Of course, we encourage experimentation with the ingredients to come up with your own unique version of heaven on Earth through deliciously icy, creamy and smooth goodness in a cone or a cup.

Cake Decorating Made Easy by Tyler Branson
Anyone can make adorable looking cakes through cake decorating. The cake is one of the best points in any occasion aside from the person celebrating that special event. They are far more than just a pastry or a dessert. It makes every occasion special so it needs to be unique and astounding.
Cake decorating requires equipment and skills like fondant-making, creating stencil cutouts for customized cakes and different kinds of frosting and icings.
Cake icing
One of the most important elements in cake designing is the icing. Creating a beautifully iced cake is an art. To ensure a good result focus carefully on what you are doing. In order to achieve creamy and soft cake icing, you must allow the cake base to cool down. If you put the icing on when the cake is still warm, it will result to tiny bubbles, the color may change and it will run everywhere. For example, if you are icing a wedding cake it will absorb the cake color and turn a pale brown.
A smooth blade or spatula are the best utensils for spreading the icing on the cake.
A tip to remember: spread the icing evenly while gently rotating the cake in one direction. A deep bowl or mugh of hot water is good to keep close. You can dip your spreading implement in the water to stop it sticking.
Make fondants
Another cake decorating idea is to use fondant icing. What is fondant? This is solid icing that you can roll into sheets and lay over the cake. Fondant has the versatility to enable you to create figurines in all shapes and colors.
Fondants are usually created out of sugar, chocolate and milk. Fondants made entirely from chocolate are even possible.
Cake tiers
Another way to design your cake is to have it tiered. Undeniably, cakes in layers are impressive with a classic look. You will need two or three different sized cake boards so that you can layer them to create a tiered cake. You can stack them directly on top of each other or use special columns to give the cake even more height.
Edible accessories
Try visiting the local baking shop near you and head to their display cabinets where you will see edible accessories such as candies that look like pearls, stringed candies, sprinkles, chocolate chips, chocolate bits, and even colored candies. These things are great for designing your cake as well as your mini cakes or cupcakes.
Your own sense of beauty is the main element in your exquisite cake decorating ideas. If your cake is looking a little insipid you can liven it up with brightly colored decorations and ribbons. Alternately, pale or plain decorations help to tone down a cake that may be too bright for the occasion. Learn how to balance the elements of your cake.

How to Make Steak Tender: Lessons From Your Kosher Butcher by Mark Etinger
Who doesn't like tender kosher meat? I mean seriously, isn't it great when you have a piece of steak that you can cut with your fork? That your jaw muscles never tire of chewing because you can literally dissolve the meat solely with your saliva and your tongue? When your friends and family honor you with accolades? You know the answer. Now let's ask the question: how, kosher butcher mastermind, do you tenderize steak so that it melts in your mouth? Read on, reader, and see for yourself.
--Salt: You must coat the meat in kosher salt. So that you can just barely see red. This allows the meat to absorb some of the salt, and the salt to absorb all of the extra water in the meat. This process is dubbed osmosis. It is a chemical reaction. The salt has the same effect as any kind of seasoning. But when you season, it doesn't have the chance to get into the meat unless you let it sit for a long time. When you season the steak right before you grill it, the result is that the outside is flavorful but the inside is tasteless. The steak has been steamed since all the water came to the surface and you didn't dry it. Here's how to fix that problem.
1. Marinate for an hour: For a thick piece of steak (this process only works on steaks AT LEAST 1 inch thick), you may want to let the steak sit in the salt for an hour and a half. After all that time, the water from the steak will rise to the top of the steak and drain and sit on the plate.
2. Clean: Wash the steak of the extra salt, and pat it dry. This is why the steak won't taste like a nasty salt lick.
3. Grill: If you like steak you should probably choose medium-rare or medium. Any more grilling and the steak will taste like leather.
4. Wait: Allow the steak to keep cooking for five minutes after it's off the grill. Relax, you will be enjoying tenderized kosher meat imminently.
Now to all you skeptics out there who are saying but what about all the juices? Won't the flavor be sucked out and drained away by the salt? Well, no. The finest steaks are dry aged so that the water leaves the steak and the protein and the fat mingle in a three month long dance party.
If you want an added kick, dice some garlic and lay some rosemary on the steak during the salting process. This will make for an even tastier steak.
Finally, enjoy your tender moist steak. You can try this process on a nice thick ribeye and expect the tenderness of a filet mignon.

Some easy healthy recipes for child-friendly meals by Jamie Francis
It can be a difficult task for many parents to get their children to eat healthy foods, especially if healthy foods were not introduced to them at a very young age or if they are simply averse to the taste of many vegetables but it is definitely possible to teach children and encourage them to eat healthy foods while at the same time explaining to them on their level why they need to eat these foods.
The best food for an infant is milk, whether this is breast milk or formula; this is the beginning of a child's healthy diet. As the child gets older they can then start to eat more solid foods and the first solid foods that you introduce to your child are very important because if you train a child to eat healthily then they will most likely continue to do so throughout their life.
Foods that are soft and easy to chew and swallow are the best solids to start your child on and this can include anything from pureed root vegetables and mashed potatoes, to soups and fruit compotes. Many mums and dads actually make their own baby food rather than buying jarred foods, which is easy because all you need to do is cook healthy foods and blend them into a smooth and easy to digest consistency; it almost always works out cheaper to make your own baby food too. Why not cook in batches and freeze portions? This way, your homemade baby food will be just as convenient as buying it ready made from the supermarket and you will know exactly what has gone into it.
Fruits are great for your child to eat as well and when they are first introduced to your children they will need to be mashed up for them to eat or cut into small pieces depending on how many teeth your child has. Once your child has been eating fruits and mushy foods for a few months you can then start your child on regular vegetables and cereals that don't contain a lot of added salt or sugar.
Some easy healthy recipes for your child could include whole wheat pasta with roasted vegetables and roasted chicken in a freshly made tomato sauce, homemade pizzas with plenty of vegetables and protein from good quality ham or chicken pieces and pan fried salmon fillets with sweet potato chips and a fresh green salad. All of this dishes can be made quickly and you will often be able to get your child involved in the preparations, which will teach them how to cook, what different foods are and the importance of making meals using fresh and delicious ingredients.

Make sure you don't leave it in there any longer than one night because tuna needs to be consumed within 24 hours of putting it inside the refrigerator. If you don't have any great ideas on what kind of marinade you would like to use, then here are a few suggestions that you might want to try:
* Chili Marinade * Lemon * Sun Dried Tomato dressing * Ginger

CPI double digit inflation is likely within a year.
The U.S. population won't drive it and that is why it will be so hard to stop. The majority of the "printing" is going overseas. We saw in the AIG bailout how much money went overseas. we see the still problematic trade deficit with dollars going overseas. We have the problem with oil prices rising and dollars going overseas. We now have the overseas markets possibly attracting money again and we have the biggest problem.
The biggest problem is the trillions already created and overseas that don't want to be used for debt. We are seeing rising use of dollars for buying "stuff" for making things. They are buying commodities to build roads, bridges, power plants (China builds a new power plant a week and a new city the size of Philly, about every month) and car sales rising. They are even stockpiling some commodities to spend dollars.
Then you have the non-dollar deals going on all over the world so dollars don't have to be accumulated as much and can be spent to drop the number being held. We just had China make a non-dollar deal with Argentina so demand for dollars is reduced there. We have six other Asian deals like that which have been made. We have Brazil and Argentina ending the use of dollars in trade between them and 4 other nations reporting they will join in that move.
All that reduces the need for dollars and puts downward pressure on the dollar. We have the dollar now, that has been dropping and if that continues as some believe to 71-72 then oil will be over $100 a barrel again and that will be very inflationary as it would make the price of everything hauled buy trucks, planes and trains much more expensive. You have food that the raw materials of which are sold in dollars and the global population is rising and the middle class consumers rising in the emerging markets.
We only have 300 million consumers (population) and there are 6.7 billion out there spending dollars through their governments and companies buying food. We have about 2 billion middle class consumers now, in the world buying cars and fuel and more meals per day and more things made with raw materials sold in dollars.
We can be in a deep depression and have double digit inflation because of all the money being pumped out into the world and that was previously pumped out into the world. Because the dollar is the world's reserve currency it is the world that determines our CPI now, much more than we do.
This is also Bernanke's problem as what he does here, is affecting the world and when he gets ready to rein in the money supply it will be long too late. Since he won't rein it in while we are in a depression, that means it keeps going out to the rest of the world that wants to spend and get rid of them as fast as they can. It will be the global velocity of dollars that causes most of the rise in CPI here. Our meager 200 billion middle class are a drop in the bucket compared to the people spending dollars in the world.
That is why the world is looking to Asia for a global recovery, not the U.S. It is that huge consumer base that far outnumbers us that they are counting on. It is their positive account balances and consumer saving that gives them money to spend instead of paying interest on credit cards, and large home loans and big car loans, that they are counting on. They know the U.S. consumer will probably be dead for years. Thus, it is the world spending the dollars they have that is providing hope to many businesses, nations and investors.
The reason Fed is screwed is that they need to predict 18 months in advance depending on Velocity of Money. So far Velocity has been zero, but once the Velocity picks up, Bernanke has to day trade derivatives with perfect timing. He will either go down as either Greatest Trader of all time, or yet another Central Banker.
There is also the "money multiplier" which is when a bank has a deposit, it can lend out 10 times that amount.
But, if there is a lack of borrowing, they may only loan out 2 times or 5 times instead of 10 times the mount. As a result only two tenths or 1/2 of the money was put into circulation as could have been.
When the Fed tries to correct this, the money multiplier may still be high enough to thwart their attempts to lower the money multiplier by making loans to banks more expensive, for a long time. Too much money will already be going to work.
Hyper-inflation can double the price of things in days, once it starts any panic selling of the dollar. Look how fast the Zimbabwe dollar fell. Just while printing new currency to distribute, the currency would lose 50% and more.

Advantages of Organic Food
Is organically grown food really healthier for you than conventionally grown produce? The debate has been raging on since the 1950s as to whether or not organically grown produce is actually better for you than crops from the larger, pesticide using farms. The truth is, while some may say that the jury is still out, that would only be the official one. Most of the studies done over the last few decades have been either swayed by funding or just poorly conducted, calling most of the results into question. So while the "official" results may say there is no difference in health and quality, if you go through and eliminate invalid studies, the answer you will find will be completely different. And its a matter of simple logic.
The fact is, organic food is actually safer for you and contains more nutrients than conventionally grown produce.
- More Nutrients
Studies have shown that, on average, organically grown produce contains higher levels of many key nutrients, including vitamin C, trace minerals, and antioxidant phytonutrients. Data compiled by the USDA over the past 70 years shows a significant decline in the levels of minerals that can be found in conventionally-grown produce, meat, and dairy.
When you take into account the fact that modern conventional methods push these foods to grow faster and to produce more (using steroids and overpowered fertilizers) as well as the fact of earlier harvesting when the produce is not yet ripe, it should come as no surprise that our food contains less nutrition than it did 70 years ago.
In addition, studies have shown that, pound for pound, over-fertilized (i.e. most) produce contains a higher percentage of water than organic produce does. This means less vitamins. It also makes sense that phytonutrients (most of which make up a plant's immune system) are at higher levels in organic produce because the plants have to develop their own defenses against diseases which are not killed by pesticides and chemicals.
-Fewer Pesticides in Your Body
No one denies that conventionally grown foods do have a certain amount of pesticides still on them, when they reach our shelves. While the FDA has set "safe" levels for how much of these chemicals can be in your system, its obvious that we would be better off not eating them in the first place.
Because organic foods are grown without the use of chemicals, you can be sure you are not ingesting anything nasty! Recent studies have actually linked several symptoms such as fatigue, trembling, impaired brain function, headaches, digestive problems, and skin disorders (just to name a few) with the consumption of pesticides in your food.
Research in Belgium has shown that women with breast cancer are up to nine times likelier than women without breast cancer, to have hexachlorobenzene or DDT (pesticides used on food) in their bodies. Research in Hawaii has been making connections to consumption of conventionally grown (pesticide laden) fruit and fruit juice, to the risk of developing Parkinson's disease.
Organic Food Does Make You Healthier
Study after study has found the same results: when you give people (particularly kids) a completely organic diet for an extended period of time, they become healthier. The people who eat organic foods as part of these studies tend to heal faster, get sick less, have more energy, and even have healthier teeth! This should actually come as no surprise. When your body has to spend less energy processing the toxins you put into it (through eating non-organic, chemical-laden food) it has more energy to spare for doing what it is supposed to do — keeping you energetic, attractive, healthy, and alive.

1. Anti-anxiety medications and sedatives
There are different types of sedatives which gives relief to individuals with bipolar disorder. This type of medication is used to help the patient achieve the amount of sleep he needs. Sedatives also help patients lessen their apprehension. Most importantly, it helps them control severe episodes of manic.
Some known sedatives used for bipolar disorder are hypnotics, tranquilizers, anxiolytics and benzodiazepines.
2. Antidepressants
Antidepressants are widely and regularly prescribed to people with bipolar disorder. There are different types of antidepressants.
? Atypical antidepressant is an example of antidepressant which is chemically not related to other antidepressants. Some examples under this type are Desyrel, Remeron and Wellbutrin. ? Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors or commonly referred to as MAOIs helps ease the symptoms of bipolar disorder. Manerix, Marplan, Nardil, and Parnate are some drugs under this type. ? Selective Norepinephrine Reuptake Inhibitors or SNRIs is a type of antidepressants which concentrates on a neurotransmitter. ? Selective Serotonin-Norepinephrine Reuptake Inhibitors or SSNRIs like the above-mentioned types of antidepressants help patients' sufferings from the many symptoms of bipolar disorder. Some known drugs related to this are Cymbalta and Effexor. ? Common examples of Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors or SSRIs are Celexa, Paxil, Lexapro, Prozac, Luvox and Zoloft. ? Tricyclics antidepressant includes Anafranil, Elavil, Asendin, Norpramin, Aventyl, and Adapin.
3. Antipsychotics
This type of pharmacological treatment is referred to as "neuroleptic drugs." Common antipsychotics are sometimes termed as "major tranquilizers," because its chief responsibility is to put under sedation the patient taking it.
There are three major types of antipsychotic drugs such as atypical, typical and dopamine partial agonists. Other options for antipsychotic drugs are Symbyax and Tetrabenazine.
4. Mood Stabilizers
Mood stabilizer is a type of medication to minister "mood disorders." There are a lot of drugs to stabilize mood to use for individuals with bipolar disorder. "Lithium carbonate" is the first mood stabilizer to be approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). It is also widely used.

5. Calcium Channel Blockers
If an individual's bipolar disorder is negligible and manageable, then calcium channel blockers may be appropriate.
The major function of calcium channel blockers is to drop the blood pressure. Additionally, it slows down the transmission of electrical activity inside the heart which then results to lowered heart rate.
There are three major categories under calcium channel blockers such as Dihydropyridine, Phenylalkylamine, and Benzonthiazepine.
Medications should be prescribed by psychiatrists proficient in analysis and treatment of mental disorders.
Another type of bipolar disorder treatment is psychotherapy which is sometimes referred to as "talk therapy."
This type of treatment encourages the patient to openly talk about the possible causes of depression. You will also have the chance to communicate about the factors which trigger incidents of bipolar disorder.
Upon knowing the causes and triggers of manic depression, then you will arrive at achievable solutions to administer or evade triggers.
There are two kinds of psychotherapy. Interpersonal therapy has a goal to help you modify your behavior so that you will have a positive relation to other people. On the other hand, cognitive-behavioral therapy aims to assess your belief and feelings that should lead you to alter your response to different events.
The pains and sufferings caused by bipolar disorder can be generally treated. Patience and perseverance is needed during the treatment period since most of the time patients undergo a long-term medication either pharmacological or psychotherapy.

Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors or commonly referred to as MAOIs helps ease the symptoms of bipolar disorder. Manerix, Marplan, Nardil, and Parnate are some drugs under this type. ? Selective Norepinephrine Reuptake Inhibitors or SNRIs is a type of antidepressants which concentrates on a neurotransmitter. ? Selective Serotonin-Norepinephrine Reuptake Inhibitors or SSNRIs like the above-mentioned types of antidepressants help patients' sufferings from the many symptoms of bipolar disorder. Some known drugs related to this are Cymbalta and Effexor. ? Common examples of Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors or SSRIs are Celexa, Paxil, Lexapro, Prozac, Luvox and Zoloft. ? Tricyclics antidepressant includes Anafranil, Elavil, Asendin, Norpramin, Aventyl, and Adapin.
3. Antipsychotics
This type of pharmacological treatment is referred to as "neuroleptic drugs." Common antipsychotics are sometimes termed as "major tranquilizers," because its chief responsibility is to put under sedation the patient taking it.
There are three major types of antipsychotic drugs such as atypical, typical and dopamine partial agonists. Other options for antipsychotic drugs are Symbyax and Tetrabenazine.
4. Mood Stabilizers
Mood stabilizer is a type of medication to minister "mood disorders." There are a lot of drugs to stabilize mood to use for individuals with bipolar disorder. "Lithium carbonate" is the first mood stabilizer to be approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). It is also widely used.
There are some mood stabilizers out in the market today which are not yet approved by the FDA. There are possible uneventful consequences when taking unapproved drugs. Hence it is important to consult with your physician the stabilizer that is well suited for you and is FDA approved.
5. Calcium Channel Blockers
If an individual's bipolar disorder is negligible and manageable, then calcium channel blockers may be appropriate.
The major function of calcium channel blockers is to drop the blood pressure. Additionally, it slows down the transmission of electrical activity inside the heart which then results to lowered heart rate.
There are three major categories under calcium channel blockers such as Dihydropyridine, Phenylalkylamine, and Benzonthiazepine.
Medications should be prescribed by psychiatrists proficient in analysis and treatment of mental disorders.
Another type of bipolar disorder treatment is psychotherapy which is sometimes referred to as "talk therapy."
This type of treatment encourages the patient to openly talk about the possible causes of depression. You will also have the chance to communicate about the factors which trigger incidents of bipolar disorder.
Upon knowing the causes and triggers of manic depression, then you will arrive at achievable solutions to administer or evade triggers.
There are two kinds of psychotherapy. Interpersonal therapy has a goal to help you modify your behavior so that you will have a positive relation to other people. On the other hand, cognitive-behavioral therapy aims to assess your belief and feelings that should lead you to alter your response to different events.
The pains and sufferings caused by bipolar disorder can be generally treated. Patience and perseverance is needed during the treatment period since most of the time patients undergo a long-term medication either pharmacological or psychotherapy.

The Origins of Texas Barbecue
Have you been into a barbecue restaurant in Texas? Already tasted the Texas barbecue? If so, then great for you! But, for those who have never been there or have never been tasted the specialty of Texas, it's now time for you to know what makes the Texas barbecue a popular hit.
Many people are asking what a Texas barbecue really is. Well, based on what I have read from a number of sources, the Texas barbecue is actually a pile of beef brisket that is sliced, with a German-style sausage and meaty ribs. It is also prepared with a piquant sauce made from tomato that is typically spooned over the meat or place on the side for the diners to apply to their own Texas barbeque pieces.
The Texas barbeque has long been considered as a distinct tradition of the entire state. It has been prepared and served for the guests in almost every occasion. But, according to some records, the traditional all started and evolved from a convergence of events in the second half of the 19th century. The influence can be traced back to the time when the refugees from the Civil War came to Texas to look for a new beginning and a new land to dwell. They are the ones who brought their recipes and cooking styles along which later on influenced the cooking style of the early Texans.
Germans and Czechs also started to come in bringing with them their experiences in making sausages and smoking meats. From that period, the number of cattle in the area was increased and with more than a hundred years of refinement, such influence has resulted in today's reputation of Texas barbecue - something that is not only delicious, but is worthy of pride and celebration.
Today, many of the establishments in Texas prepare the Texas barbecue with much focus on the food preparation and the quality of their product. Perhaps an important evidence to support this meticulous preparation of the Texas barbecue is that most of the respected barbecue stores throughout the state serve their Texas barbecue on butcher paper, with plastic utensils and paper towels. There are some barbecue stores also that offer deliveries for those who wish to avail it. The barbecues are typically delivered to your doorstep as fresh and wholesome as some of the finest restaurants in the state prepare it. They are usually vacuum-packed to lock all the aroma and flavor in, thus maintaining the delicious taste of the Texas barbecue. What's more interesting to know about the way the Texas barbecue is offered and served is that most are inspected by the Food and Drug Administration with the use of the highest standards available. This means that the Texas barbecue are prepared and served the way it should be served - fresh, tender, and yummy.

GARLIC stripped naked and PRESSed hard!
You take the garlic clove in your hands. You strip off the skin. You look at it lying there vulnerable and ready. What do you do next?
You have a couple of options - one approach is old and low tech, the other more hip and a little more high tech.
You can chop it with your knife or use one of many types of garlic presses. The first and natural question is - are garlic presses necessary? Well that all depends on a couple of factors. First, your comfort handling a knife and whether your skills or lack there of make you less apt to pick up a knife. Secondly, are you of the school who doesn't believe in owning single function tool for the kitchen.
If you don't feel comfortable with a knife, then yes garlic presses are useful and convenient.
However if you are a strong supporter of the no single purpose tool rule, then maybe this is not for you.
I can go either way here. While, I am not opposed to keeping equipment in the kitchen to a minimum, there are times when a single purpose tool is helpful.
First, I want to cover how easy it is to chop garlic with a knife and then cover presses. Using a knife to chop garlic is the age-old solution to chopping, dicing, mincing, and smashing garlic into a paste. If you want more coarsely chopped or sliced garlic, then a knife is your first and best choice. The size of the desired end result is your main determining factor.
To begin, simply remove the skin and make sure the clove is lying as flat as possible, even if that means slicing in half first. Now make several lengthwise slices. If you want slices, then you are done. To chop - slice crosswise to make chunks of the size you want.
As with many foods, the smaller the dice or mince, the more flavor extraction will occur sooner. So if you are cooking something that will cook for a long time, such as a tomato sauce, you would want a larger dice. This is of course all dependent on individual taste. Some people like a slightly stronger more bitter punch from their garlic while others prefer a milder hint.
As to which knife to use for chopping garlic, that depends on how much garlic is to be chopped and how finely. If one is chopping or slicing one or two cloves, then a paring or utility knife could be used. However if one is chopping many cloves or going for a much smaller dice you might want either a chef's knife or a Santoku style knife.
I would be amiss if I forget to mention the mezzaluna blade that can also be used for the smaller mince or chopping.
The mezzaluna blade generally uses a wooden board with a bowl shaped impression carved into one side.
To mince garlic, simply lay the garlic clove flat as possible on the cutting board and smash it with the wide portion of the knife (if not using a mezzaluna) and then begin to quickly mince it with the chopping/rocking motion.
For me this is the fastest way to do it, but then I am comfortable with a knife and I find I probably have the knife out already anyway. Additionally, it is one less thing to clean later.
One can also use the flat portion of a larger blade to make a quick garlic paste for use in marinades or salad dressings. To make this paste, smash the garlic with the flat part of the blade. Then using a dragging motion continue mashing and smashing the garlic back and forth on the board like a board press or scraper until the desired consistency is achieved.
A knife and a good wooden cutting board are all one needs to prepare garlic. It will also prove to be the least expensive way to prepare garlic, as most already have a knife in the kitchen. It is also one less thing to store away if space is an issue.
So without further ado, let's talk presses. What is the main purpose? The main purpose is to press a clove(s) through the device to produce a mince like state. Some, like Mr. Alton Brown, say that the presses actually smash the garlic in an unappealing way. Similar to what others say potato ricers do to potatoes. Never the less, a "mince" is the end result.
A garlic press consists of two long handles hinged at the top. One of the handles has a basket shaped end with holes in it where the garlic is placed. The other handle has a fixed or free-swinging flat end (plunger) that will fit into the basket and push the garlic through the holes.
Most will come with a plastic piece designed to fit over the basket portion with plugs matching the holes to help push out garlic remaining in the basket. It is useful to have.
Presses come in various materials. Some are heavy duty plastic, some stainless steel and others die-cast metal, coated to prevent odors and staining. The key is the hinge strength. Generally, the basket volume is the same size, but all will vary slightly.
Before I go any further, I want to state that this tool is dependent on personal hand strength. If you have some form of arthritis or other malady that causes you to have weak grip or hand strength then you will find using a garlic press difficult. However, one company makes a counter top variety where one pushes down using body weight versus grip. It still may be too difficult to use, depending on the degree of discomfort in your joints.
To use a press is quite easy. Put the clove(s) in the basket end, line up the plunger and squeeze the two handles together and pressing the garlic over the catch container. Some like to scrape the garlic off the plunger, others like to leave it out. As to whether one peels or not, is up to you; presses are designed to work either way. I tend to skin the cloves first as I want all the garlic in my food. You may notice some garlic actually release juice before the garlic comes through the press. This is not something to worry about and some consider it a great benefit.
For the sake of product longevity, rinse off the press as soon as possible after using. If you wait too long to clean it out, the garlic remains and juice will be more difficult to clean.
This can cause problems over the long term.
There are several companies who make garlic presses, some you know some you may not. They come in varying price ranges and not all stores carry every brand. I have not listed every maker or product here, only the ones with which I am familiar.
If you become a frequent visitor here, you will find I don't want to get into ratings and recommendations.
However, based solely on product construction, quality of materials and the aforementioned hinge strength, there are some I like more than others. You will find in general that these presses will perform better and last longer than the others.
I find the Rosle brand to be very good, easy to use. It is the most expensive of the bunch but has a very sturdy all stainless steel body, effective motion and is easy to clean. After that I like Zyliss; it has a very strong hinge, solid die cast body that will last for a long time and presses easily. If I had to pick a third choice, it would be the Kuhn Rikon press. Some have said finger pinching was possible, but careful use should prevent this problem.
After those three, the others fall into the same general class. They work well enough and will serve your purposes, but probably won't last as long. There is one product that both presses and in a separate basket "slices". The slice and press combination from AMCO Houseworks has added versatility with the dual function.
The Alligator works well for garlic; similar to the Cuisipro, it is a body weight press versus grip powered.
About the only ones I am not fond of are the twist styles of Garlic Genius and the Chef'n. The additional effort to provide the same basic result doesn't seem necessary; they are also much harder to clean.
For the most part garlic presses work as expected.

I am a trained culinary sales person who loves all things culinary. I am writing articles about kitchen tools, gadgets and appliances.
You have a couple of options - one approach is old and low tech, the other more hip and a little more high tech.
You can chop it with your knife or use one of many types of garlic presses. The first and natural question is - are garlic presses necessary? Well that all depends on a couple of factors. First, your comfort handling a knife and whether your skills or lack there of make you less apt to pick up a knife. Secondly, are you of the school who doesn't believe in owning single function tool for the kitchen.
If you don't feel comfortable with a knife, then yes garlic presses are useful and convenient.
However if you are a strong supporter of the no single purpose tool rule, then maybe this is not for you.
I can go either way here. While, I am not opposed to keeping equipment in the kitchen to a minimum, there are times when a single purpose tool is helpful.
First, I want to cover how easy it is to chop garlic with a knife and then cover presses. Using a knife to chop garlic is the age-old solution to chopping, dicing, mincing, and smashing garlic into a paste. If you want more coarsely chopped or sliced garlic, then a knife is your first and best choice. The size of the desired end result is your main determining factor.
To begin, simply remove the skin and make sure the clove is lying as flat as possible, even if that means slicing in half first. Now make several lengthwise slices. If you want slices, then you are done. To chop - slice crosswise to make chunks of the size you want.
As with many foods, the smaller the dice or mince, the more flavor extraction will occur sooner. So if you are cooking something that will cook for a long time, such as a tomato sauce, you would want a larger dice. This is of course all dependent on individual taste. Some people like a slightly stronger more bitter punch from their garlic while others prefer a milder hint.
As to which knife to use for chopping garlic, that depends on how much garlic is to be chopped and how finely. If one is chopping or slicing one or two cloves, then a paring or utility knife could be used. However if one is chopping many cloves or going for a much smaller dice you might want either a chef's knife or a Santoku style knife.
I would be amiss if I forget to mention the mezzaluna blade that can also be used for the smaller mince or chopping.
The mezzaluna blade generally uses a wooden board with a bowl shaped impression carved into one side.
To mince garlic, simply lay the garlic clove flat as possible on the cutting board and smash it with the wide portion of the knife (if not using a mezzaluna) and then begin to quickly mince it with the chopping/rocking motion.
For me this is the fastest way to do it, but then I am comfortable with a knife and I find I probably have the knife out already anyway. Additionally, it is one less thing to clean later.
One can also use the flat portion of a larger blade to make a quick garlic paste for use in marinades or salad dressings. To make this paste, smash the garlic with the flat part of the blade. Then using a dragging motion continue mashing and smashing the garlic back and forth on the board like a board press or scraper until the desired consistency is achieved.
A knife and a good wooden cutting board are all one needs to prepare garlic. It will also prove to be the least expensive way to prepare garlic, as most already have a knife in the kitchen. It is also one less thing to store away if space is an issue.
So without further ado, let's talk presses. What is the main purpose? The main purpose is to press a clove(s) through the device to produce a mince like state. Some, like Mr. Alton Brown, say that the presses actually smash the garlic in an unappealing way. Similar to what others say potato ricers do to potatoes. Never the less, a "mince" is the end result.
A garlic press consists of two long handles hinged at the top. One of the handles has a basket shaped end with holes in it where the garlic is placed. The other handle has a fixed or free-swinging flat end (plunger) that will fit into the basket and push the garlic through the holes.
Most will come with a plastic piece designed to fit over the basket portion with plugs matching the holes to help push out garlic remaining in the basket. It is useful to have.
Presses come in various materials. Some are heavy duty plastic, some stainless steel and others die-cast metal, coated to prevent odors and staining. The key is the hinge strength. Generally, the basket volume is the same size, but all will vary slightly.
Before I go any further, I want to state that this tool is dependent on personal hand strength. If you have some form of arthritis or other malady that causes you to have weak grip or hand strength then you will find using a garlic press difficult. However, one company makes a counter top variety where one pushes down using body weight versus grip. It still may be too difficult to use, depending on the degree of discomfort in your joints.
To use a press is quite easy. Put the clove(s) in the basket end, line up the plunger and squeeze the two handles together and pressing the garlic over the catch container. Some like to scrape the garlic off the plunger, others like to leave it out. As to whether one peels or not, is up to you; presses are designed to work either way. I tend to skin the cloves first as I want all the garlic in my food. You may notice some garlic actually release juice before the garlic comes through the press. This is not something to worry about and some consider it a great benefit.
For the sake of product longevity, rinse off the press as soon as possible after using. If you wait too long to clean it out, the garlic remains and juice will be more difficult to clean.
This can cause problems over the long term.

Vegetarian Recipes: How To Make A Vegan Cake
How To Make A Vegan Cake
Do you have a strict vegan in the family who has a birthday or celebration coming up that traditionally calls for cake? If you’re not familiar with vegan dietary practices, you might not know what vegans do not eat. Even worse, you might have no idea how to replace what they do not eat.
But don't worry. In a few short paragraphs, I’ll explain exactly what you need to make the perfect cake for your vegan friend or relative. And best of all, no one will be able to taste the difference.
Let’s start with what strict vegans do not eat. They do not eat eggs. They do not drink milk. They don’t eat certain types of sugar. They don’t eat butter. And they don’t eat frosting.
Eggs can be replaced by "EnerG Egg Replacer," which you can purchase at many grocery stores. The box will explain how much replacer to use per egg.
Cow’s milk can be replaced by organic rice milk, which doesn’t contain any animal byproducts. You can buy rice milk at your local grocery store, too.
Many vegans do not consume sugar, either, because it is often whitened by animal bone char. You can avoid sugar that is whitened by bone char by purchasing "unbleached" sugar, sugar in the raw, or beet sugar. There are some cane sugars, too, which were not whitened using bone char, but they hard to distinguish from others, unless you know the exact name brand.
Strict vegans will not eat food made with butter, either. If your cake recipe calls for butter, you can simply replace it with margarine or vegetable shortening.
In addition to butter, sugar, milk, and eggs, strict vegans also will not eat dairy frosting. If your recipe calls for frosting, you can look for a similar flavor of "non-dairy" frosting or you can make your own, replacing butter with margarine.
And there you have it: an ingredient replacement key for your vegan cake. Simply follow the key, replace vegan -unfriendly items on your recipe, and your cake will be perfectly fit for even the strictest vegetarian!
