It's a crumbly cheese, not too sharp, not too mild, aged in casks with the grape must from Borolo wine. It's not sweet at all but has a definite grape finish. Amazing stuff.

]]> Comment on Is Teflon Safe? by Jon http://johnonfood.com/other-stuff/teflon-safe/#comment-8392 Jon Sat, 28 Jan 2012 08:36:38 +0000 http://johnonfood.com/?p=383#comment-8392 260 degrees c is 500 degrees f. oven burners on high can get around 600 degrees f which is high enough to break down the teflon compound, therefore the pofa can be released. it is a potentially dangerous chemical. if it's so safe, then why is it being outlawed for cookware? exactly. 260 degrees c is 500 degrees f. oven burners on high can get around 600 degrees f which is high enough to break down the teflon compound, therefore the pofa can be released. it is a potentially dangerous chemical. if it’s so safe, then why is it being outlawed for cookware? exactly.

]]> Comment on Pickle onions by FabDahling http://johnonfood.com/how-to/pickled-onions/#comment-8391 FabDahling Fri, 27 Jan 2012 17:05:15 +0000 http://johnlikesfood.wordpress.com/?p=45#comment-8391 Thanks for writing this! My (now deceased) Aunt Mary used to make THE BEST pickled onions! Unfortunately, back then, I was more interested in eating them than learning how to make them. I remember them bobbing in a bowl....and the plate on top! She used brown vinegar, peppercorns, cloves and I think, mustard seeds. She had an exact count, no doubt, which is now lost....but I will experiment. I can hardly wait the 6 weeks to try the ones I just made. Makes me realize though, just how much she must have loved us all, to labour over jars and jars of onions and give them away....... Thanks for writing this!

Surely this would be easier as most ovens (intergral or freestanding) nowadays come fan assisted. The oven I have recently bought has a double oven with the lower being fan assisted and the smaller upper one being conventional type.

After a few disasters, last being apple crumble exploding all over the oven, I decided to check temps for fan ovens. I have never cooked with a fan oven before and this info is invaluable.

Clearly, there are times when frying foods the temperature will exceed recognized safety levels even with the safest of cooking practices. With safe alternatives readily available why would we want to keep this product on the market? Interesting discussion, but I sense a disconnect.
