Name: Melissa Fabbio Bio: Melissa Fabbio is a professional chef native to Austin, TX. She is currently the Pastry Supervisor for McGuire Moorman Hospitality Group, which includes such renowned Austin restaurants as Perla's, Lambert's and Elizabeth St. Cafe. Previously, she worked for Chef Thomas Keller at the world famous Bouchon Bakery in Yountville, California. Fabbio attended The Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, New York. Blanching vegetables helps them maintain their crispness and color, improves flavor and reduces the chance of bacterial contamination. The basic technique involves briefly cooking vegetables in boiling salted water, then immediately plunging them into an ice water bath. Chefs in restaurant kitchens blanch vegetables in advance to shorten their cooking time during busy dinner service, but you can also serve blanched vegetables without further cooking. Fill the pot about three-quarters full of water. Add approximately 1 teaspoon of salt for every 5 quarts of water. The salt facilitates a chemical change in the vegetables that maintains their color and keeps them from getting mushy. Bring the water to a rolling boil. Clean and trim the vegetables while the water is coming to a boil. Cut larger vegetables into pieces of roughly equal size and shape. Fill a large bowl with water and ice cubes, then set it near your cooking area. Add the vegetables to the boiling water a few at a time, keeping the water at a rolling boil. Let them cook for two to three minutes. Cook starchy vegetables, such as potatoes, carrots or squash, a little longer. Test them for doneness by removing one piece, and pinching or biting it. It should be al dente -- crisp but not crunchy -- and heated through but not mushy. Use a slotted spoon or strainer to remove the vegetables from the boiling water and immediately put them in the ice water. If you're blanching in small batches, add ice to the water if necessary to keep it cold. Drain the vegetables in a colander. If you're going to store them for later use, let them air dry for a few minutes before packing them into containers and covering them. For freezing, pack the drained vegetables into containers or resealable freezer bags. Produced by: Demand Studios Read more : http://www.ehow.com/how_13887_blanch-vegetables.html

Name: Melissa Fabbio Bio: Melissa Fabbio is a professional chef native to Austin, TX. She is currently the Pastry Supervisor for McGuire Moorman Hospitality Group, which includes such renowned Austin restaurants as Perla's, Lambert's and Elizabeth St. Cafe. Previously, she worked for Chef Thomas Keller at the world famous Bouchon Bakery in Yountville, California. Fabbio attended The Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, New York. Commercial mayonnaise is a familiar but not especially interesting product, a blandly pleasant sandwich spread that's also useful as the base of a thick salad dressing. Making mayonnaise from scratch produces a startlingly different result, a smoother and creamier dressing filled with subtle flavors. The basic mayonnaise-making technique, while finicky, is not difficult if you're patient and have a steady hand. The Science When you make mayonnaise, you force oil and water to overcome their proverbial inability to mix. Lecithin and other emulsifiers in the egg yolks make this possible by providing a chemical bond between the lipids in your vegetable oil and the water molecules in the other ingredients. As you whisk the oil into your mixture, it disperses in fine droplets throughout your water-based ingredients, eventually forming the thick and familiar texture. That thick emulsion might not result the first few times you try this, but the mayonnaise can usually be saved. Mayonnaise By Hand To fully experience the process, try making your mayonnaise first by hand. Separate an egg yolk into the bottom of a mixing bowl, and add roughly a teaspoon of vinegar or lemon juice. Add a pinch each of salt and pepper, then rest your bowl on a damp kitchen towel so it doesn't slide around as you work. Set a cup of cold water nearby and measure a cup of oil. Whisk the egg yolk until it's pale and frothy, then add a few drops of oil. Whisk the initial drops until they're fully incorporated, then add a few more drops. Once you've incorporated a quarter of the oil, you can start pouring it in a very thin stream. Continue until the oil is incorporated, adding a few drops of water if it seems too thick. Making mayonnaise the old-fashioned way will leave your forearms very tired, so even professionals frequently use a mixer, blender, small food processor or stand mixer to speed the process. With a mixer or stand mixer, the process is identical to the manual technique, except you're not whisking by hand. In a blender or food processor, you'll pulse the egg and lemon juice until they're mixed, then add your oil slowly through the feed tube or blender's cap. Full-sized food processors have difficulty coping with a single-egg batch of mayonnaise, so use your small bowl or reserve a full-size food processor for large batches. Potential Problems The most common error for novices is adding the oil faster than it can be emulsified into the egg mixture. When this happens, the oil will remain unabsorbed for several moments and then the mixture will separate into its oil and egg components. If you catch it at the beginning, adding a few drops of cold water will help pull the emulsion back together. If it breaks completely, start over with a fresh egg yolk and add your broken mayonnaise drop by drop until it's all incorporated. The egg yolks also represent a potential salmonella risk, so if you don't have access to pasteurized eggs, it's best to "coddle" or par-boil your egg before separating it. The finished mayonnaise is highly perishable, and should be refrigerated immediately and used within a day. Using Your Expertise Once you've mastered the basic mayonnaise-making technique, you'll find other opportunities to use it. Upscale aioli, for example, is simply mayonnaise made with olive oil, plenty of garlic, and optional ingredients such as saffron for an exotic flavor. Scratch-made Caesar dressing is just a thin, garlicky mayonnaise with plenty of Parmesan cheese added. Even rich, luxurious hollandaise sauce and its derivatives are very similar. The only difference is that it's made over a double boiler, by whisking cubes of cold butter into the egg mixture.

Preparing garlic is a recurring task in all types of cuisine from Mediterranean to Asian, but can remain a fiddly chore until you learn some simple tricks for removing the papery skin from the deliciously aromatic clove within. Smash Peeling Step 1: Remove the garlic cloves from the head and lay them flat on a chopping board. Step 2: Lay a heavy-bladed kitchen knife on each one and give a solid push with the heel of your hand. The pressure will burst the skin, which can then be easily removed in one piece. Step 3: Slice off the tough tip on each clove where it attaches to the head. Chef's Hack Step 1: Strike a head of garlic with the heel of your hand to release the cloves. Step 2: Gather the cloves and drop them into a large metal chef’s bowl. Step 3: Take another large metal bowl, invert it and place it over the top of the bowl containing the garlic. Step 4: Shake furiously for 10 to 15 seconds, taking care to keep a firm grip on the edges of the bowls. Step 5: Return the bowl to the counter and remove the covering bowl. The garlic inside will have been peeled by striking on the sides of the bowls. Mincing with Finesse Step 1: Lay the peeled garlic on a chopping board, flat-side down. Plastic boards are better than wooden ones in this case, as they won't absorb the garlic juices. Step 2: Remove any hard root tips that remain at either end. Step 3: Shred the garlic clove along its length with a sharp knife, taking care to keep your fingertips vertical to avoid injury. Step 4: Rotate the garlic clove 90 degrees and slice finely in the other direction. Step 5: Sprinkle the chopped garlic with a pinch of salt to reduce stickiness and work the knife back and forth over the garlic until it is minced. The tip of the knife should remain in contact with the chopping board, allowing you to rock the blade and heel rhythmically Produced by: Demand Studios Read more : http://www.ehow.com/how_13874_peel-mince-garlic.html
