List Of Spices Used In Cooking

Can someone help me on these seasonings?


Hi guys and gals,
I appreciate your help on the thyme question. But I also need info on some other spices as well. I'm not that used to cooking but would like to learn how and I have a lot of new seasonings that I need to know how to use. Here is the list:
Savory, Rosemary, Parsley, Mustard Seed, Oregano, Dill Weed, Italian Seasoning, Celery Salt, Bay Leaves, Caraway Seed, Pizza Seasoning, Crushed Mint, Marjoram, Coriander, And Basil. Thanks. ('thanks' is not included in the list... lol)

well first of all. the basic spices like thyme parsley sage rosemary and basil and oregano marjoram can be combined together and called and italian spice. In fact, if you bought a package called italian spice and read the ingredients, you would see many of these listed. In fact, this grouping of spices is perfect in anything. sauces, soups, and sprinkled on meat. You can't go wrong.

Bay leaves are typically used whole in soups and sauces and are taken out of the soups prior to serving.

dill can be used in sauces and soups and so forth, but not everyone likes dill, so watch for that.

pizza seasoning would likely just be used for pizza

coriander and mustard seed would be used for very specific dishes.

Interestingly, i think you left a major spice out of your list, and that is PAKRIKA. This can be sprinkled on any meats, soups or anything for an amazing flavor. In fact, I can't think of cooking meat without adding some pakrika.

Another thing I ALWAYs use is garlic powder.

Wether I am doing a roast beef, or roast pork, I wll typically sprinkle the meat with italian seasoning, pakrika and garlic powder for sure. You can sprinkle the italian seasoning, pakrika and garlic powder on potatoes for an awesome roasted potato as well.

3 Fuss-Free Ways to Cook Baby Back Ribs

A very popular dish to bring to a picnic or barbecue would be some baby back ribs. Although ribs are very easy to make, they will take up your patience with the amount of time that is needed to cook them up. Normal cook time for ribs would be around 2 hours. Professional chefs would tell you that ribs taste better when they have marinated for long periods of time preferably overnight.

There's a bunch of ways in cooking ribs and everyone, even those who aren't experienced cooks, can follow these simple instructions and prepare tasty and delicious ribs for your barbecue or picnic. Below I will list down 3 very easy methods in cooking ribs.

1) On the slow-cooker or Crock pot: This is a fuss free way of cooking your ribs. When using this cooking method you might have to cut your ribs up into smaller pieces so they can fit inside the pot. After you have sliced them up into smaller pieces just put your ribs into the pot together with the spices, marinade or any sauce you like and allow ribs to cook on really low flame (200' F) for a couple of hours. When meat has started to fall off from the bones and they have become so tender then you are ready to serve them up.

2) On the Oven: Baking ribs in your oven is one easy method to cook your ribs. This way of cooking is really good especially during the wintertime when you can't grill outside because the weather is so cold. Before baking your ribs, marinate them first in any sauce you like or you could also rub them down with some dry rub if you like them without any sauce. Just let them marinate well and when you are ready to bake them up, wrap them using an aluminum foil either with sauce or without it and put them inside the oven and cook for 2 hours. at around 225' F. By wrapping ribs in aluminum foil, they will stay tender during the baking process. So don't forget this step.

3) On the Grill: Prepare the grill ahead of time so you won't be cooking on direct flame but on well heated coals. Do not put your ribs on direct flame because they will become cooked up but they won't be as melt-in-your-mouth tender as you would want them. Just place a shallow, heatproof pan and put some water on it. Then place your pan between your source of heat (coals), metal grate & your ribs. This way of cooking will allow you to cook your ribs for some hours & will leave them tender as well.

Also when basting your ribs don't spill any marinade or sauce on the coals because they might cause flames to flare up and will make your ribs dry and burnt. Roast ribs for 2 hours. on medium low heat (225' F). Take your ribs out of the heat and let them rest a while before you serve them up so they will become so much juicier. One last thing, keep an eye on your pan to see if there is still water on it.

If water has evaporated then pour in some until you finish cooking your ribs. There's a variety of ways in cooking ribs like frying them up or smoking them but those that I mentioned above are among the fuss-free and easy methods to relish those delicious & juicy ribs that is going to become a sure hit with everyone.

Description

Here's a zester that means business! You'll have a mound of zest in seconds flat with minimal effort. This tool also shreds Parmesan and other hard cheeses quickly and efficiently.

For fluffy, evenly sized cheese shreds, this is the perfect grater. Its design is based on that of a rasp, the small and efficient woodworking tool. The cutters are especially sharp, which guarantees easy grating. But this also means you'll need to exercise extra caution--no one likes grated knuckles. The large handle allows for a firm grip, and the completely flat grating surface makes it easy to move the cheese across the blades. Carrots, onions, and medium to firm cheeses all worked beautifully with this grater. It's also an excellent choice for larger strips of citrus zest or ginger. --Jill Lightner

Features

  • Designed to extract the best flavor from your food
  • High-quality stainless steel with grating edges that stay razor sharp
  • Excellent for hard cheeses,onions, citrus fruits, ginger and more
  • Blade measures 8-1/2 inches long; ergonomic black plastic handle
  • Hand wash and dry thoroughly

Description

On a trip to Turkey as a young woman, chef Ana Sortun fell in love with the food and learned the traditions of Turkish cooking from local women. Inspired beyond measure, Sortun opened her own restaurant in Cambridge, Massachusetts, the award-winning Oleana, where she creates her own interpretations of dishes incorporating the incredible array of delicious spices and herbs used in eastern regions of the Mediterranean. In this gorgeously photographed book, Sortun shows readers how to use this philosophy of spice to create wonderful dishes in their own homes. She reveals how the artful use of spices and herbs rather than fat and cream is key to the full, rich flavors of Mediterranean cuisine -- and the way it leaves you feeling satisfied afterward. The book is organized by spice, detailing the ways certain spices complement one another and how they flavor other foods and creating in home cooks a kind of sense-memory that allows for a more intuitive use of spice in their own dishes. The more than one hundred tantalizing spice categories and recipes include: * Beef Shish Kabobs with Sumac Onions and Parsley Butter * Chickpea and Potato Terrine Stuffed with Pine Nuts, Spinach, Onion, and Tahini * Crispy Lemon Chicken with Za’atar * Golden Gazpacho with Condiments * Fried Haloumi Cheese with Pear and Spiced Dates Absolutely alive with spices and herbs, Ana Sortun’s recipes will intrigue and inspire readers everywhere.
