The Perfect Cake Frosting For Your Kitchen

By
The perfect cake frosting for your kitchen has four main ingredients. You need eggs, sugar, butter or cooking oil, and any flavours or extracts you plan to add. The method for making your frosting should include steps that make it as fluffy as possible. Some chefs heat up the frosting and in this case you will need some cooking oil. Take a look at the instructions below for the ideal method to make frosting.
1. Sugar, Butter, Eggs
You must whip sugar, butter and eggs together to get the base for your frosting. The frosting might need to have an additional ingredient such as sunflower oil if you want some extra flavour. If you intend to heat up the frosting later, it would be a good time to add the cooking oil at this stage. The cooking oil protects the structure of the frosting and it helps to bind the frosting where the butter is too cold or not included.
2. Whip to Consistency
After combining the initial ingredients, the whipping or beating process is in order. An electric beater will help you get to the correct consistency sooner. Once the mixture looks fluffy and stiff, you can now add your choice of flavours, extracts or colours into the mixing bowl. There are many flavours you can experiment with; from almonds and bananas to chocolate and strawberry. Cake frosting tastes delicious with a fruit flavour too. The more ingredients you add, the heavier and thicker the frosting will become. This will require extra whipping.
3. Heating
If you are planning to heat the frosting in order to add fruits or fruit flavours in it then you need to have some sunflower oil ready to pour. When the mixture is warm but not hot, you can add the desired flavours and ingredients. Heating frosting is only to be done on rare occasion and only if the mixture is too stiff to work with.
4. Spreading
Keep whipping or beating the frosting until you know that it can be spread or piped the way you want. The structure and consistency of the frosting is up to you. Stiff frosting works well if you need to create specific patterns and shapes. Softer frosting is a preference that works with each baker. If you find that the mixture is too stiff, adding a small amount of sunflower oil will loosen hard particles.
The frosting made for all your cakes should be made using these simple ingredients along with a touch of cooking oil or butter. Everything you do to keep your frosting the right consistency will please everyone who tastes the cake.

7 Sautéing & Stir Frying Recipes to Try With MEC

By
Sauteing & Stir frying is easier and healthier when done with MEC pots and pans. One of the biggest issues with this kind of cooking in conventional pots/pans is — the food sticks to the bottom, burns, and quite a bit is lost to burnt food. Some might think the non-stick pans and other coated or enameled cookware are a good options for this reasons, but they have an even more serious issues — the coating that makes them “non-stick” is full of chemicals and toxins that contaminate food and render it unhealthy.  Just  one  of these chemicals are a group called  perfluoroalkyl substances.   These and other so called “oil and water repellent chemicals” are in all the coating materials. These chemicals are also known for their disruption in the hormone producing organs, immune dysfunction, high cholesterol and even various forms of cancer. How is Sautéing & Stir Frying Different with MEC? Food sticking or burning to the pot is a ...

Back to Basics Cooking, Baking & Grilling

By
keeping your area clean while you cook is a chore in its self. My husband always laughs about the after math when I'm done baking. Here are some helpful ways to improve on making less of a mess in the first place. Use a bowl for your scraps and garbage as you go saving you time running to the trash making you more efficient. Using a thin flexible mat for your cutting board makes transferring vegetables to your pot much easier, by using the flexible mat as a funnel. Getting into the habit of using a splatter screen when sauteing or shallow frying will save you a lot of time on your clean-up later. Measuring ingredients and using cooking spray over the sink will keep messes confined to an easy to clean area. Keeping a bottle of soapy water handy make it more likely that cleaning up as you go will become part of your cooking habits. Another tip is to cook more slowly. Be a deliberate in measuring, chopping and wiping between each step. but this is one tip I often don't follow m...

Grilling Fresh Vegetables: 5 Tips Every Griller Should Know

By
When it comes to grilling, cooking fresh produce is different compared to cooking meat. One is quicker cooking time. Most vegetables have water content so when cooked on the grill, most of it will evaporate. As a result, the sugars become more condensed and the flavour becomes more concentrated, their natural flavour is enhanced. Enjoy a healthy snack or side dish - remember these helpful tips when grilling fresh vegetables! Wash veggies thoroughly Vegetables should be washed thoroughly before cooking. After washing, pat them dry with paper towels. Brush veggies with melted butter or oil or use non-stick cooking spray to prevent them from sticking to the grates. Make sure they are dry before brushing with oil - otherwise the oil won't stick. Cut them right To achieve perfectly-grilled vegetables, cut or slice them in uniform sizes - not too small that they'll fall through the grill grates but not too large to prevent longer cooking time. Use skewers if you prefer cooki...
