Modern Kitchen Basics; Monday, First Period [02/17].
"Well, now," said Ignis as he pushed up his glasses and got class started for another week, "our heads should be a bit clearer once again, which puts us in an excellent position to explore more of the conveniences of the modern kitchen. And since we discussed the convenience that a device like a good rice cooker can bring to the table, we'll continue on that trend this week by bringing in the many conveniences of the slow cooker, or, as it has become more colloquially known in reference to one of its most successful manufacturers, a crock pot.
"And, as with anything we're likely to encounter here, there are both benefits and downfalls to the use of a slow cooker in your cooking repertoire," which he would naturally get into in exhaustive detail as well as, of course, even just how to use one, various features, and cleaning tips.
"Now, clearly," he said, when he finally started coming around after covering all the bases, "we haven't got the time to prepare the sort of slow cooker recipe that would truly reflect the true nature of its name, but there are a few things we can make to familiarize ourselves with the equipment that doesn't extend throughout the whole day. I have a queso dip recipe that we can make and try by the end of class, as well as one for spinach and artichoke. I also encourage you to try and think of your own sort of dip or sauce that might be able to benefit from a quick mix in a slow cooker, and, to give you a better idea of what more time would give us, I've also brought along some cheesy panade and some Korean-style short ribs I started last night to be ready for this morning, if you'd like to try and have me walk through those elements, as well.
"And, of course, any questions are always welcome."
