Cooking tips

Kitchen Tip : On electric stovetops, use flat-bottomed pans that make full contact with the element. A warped or rounded pan may be a conversation piece, but will waste most of the heat.


Kitchen Tip : Solid disk elements and radiant elements under glass stove tops are easier to clean than conventional electric coil elements, but they take longer to heat up and use more electricity.


Buy Fairtrade Food : The FAIRTRADE Mark is an independent consumer label which appears on products as an independent guarantee that disadvantaged producers in the developing world are getting a better deal.

For a product to display the FAIRTRADE Mark it must meet international Fairtrade standards. These standards are set by the international certification body Fairtrade Labelling Organisations International (FLO).

Producer organisations that supply Fairtrade products are inspected and certified by FLO. They receive a minimum price that covers the cost of sustainable production and an extra premium that is invested in social or economic development projects.

Ingredients And Procedures

1 lb Butter

1 1/2 lb Crab meat

-----------------------------BRANDY CREAM SAUCE----------------------------- 1 c Butter

1 1/4 c Flour

5 c Hot milk

3/4 ts Salt

1/4 ts Black pepper

2 oz Brandy

16 Eggs

3 qt Water

3 c White vinegar

Authentic? I sure as heck can't say. Fattening++you bet! Good? More'n likely. How could it help but be with a brandy cream sauce and crabmeat. Melt the butter in a saute pan or skillet over low heat. Add the crab meat and cook slowly, stirring very gently, just until hot, about 5 to 8 minutes. To prepare the brandy cream sauce, melt the butter over low heat in a sauce pan. Stir in the flour gradually, cook for about 3 minutes, then gradually pour in the milk, continue stirring. Cook over low beat until the sauce thickens, then add the salt, pepper and brandy. Continue to cook about 5 minutes or until the sauce is medium thick. To poach the eggs, bring the water and the vinegar to a boil in a large skillet or saute pan. Keeping the water at a continuous low rolling boil, crack the eggs one by one into it. Cook until the egg whites are firm, about 4 minutes. Lift the poached eggs out of the water with a skimmer or slotted spoon, allowing the water to drain back into the pan. Place them on a heated platter while you assemble the dishes. Place 3 ounces of crab meat on each of 8 heated plates, then place 2 poached eggs side by side on the crab meat. Ladle sauce evenly over the portions. Makes 8 servings.
