If chicken smells a little funny before being cooked but fine afterwards is it ok to eat?

It’s not supposed to go off for another 3 days

I wouldn’t risk it. It may not be due to go off for a while but you don’t know how it has been handled prior to being in the shop, whether it has been left around out of the fridge for a while etc.

Does it smell kind of like corn? With a yellowish tint? If so don’t eat it.

Cooking snow peas? I really love snow peas when I go to restaurants (Thai, Japanese, etc). How do I cook them?

I am look more for how to cook them and what to season them with. I am fine mixing it with a stirfry or even just cooking snow peas alone and eating them! How can I season them?

Boil some water. When it comes to a boil throw in the snow peas. Let them boil 2 or 3 minutes (they should turn a darker green and get a little plump. If you are stir frying them with meat, have the meat already done. (You can throw some shrimp in a pan with olive oil, soy sauce, garlic and red pepper.) Then toss in the snow peas and mix it around for a bit (not so long that they get soggy) and you’re done.

How long can you keep lobster before cooking it?

My friend has some lobster tails in the fridge, and got them Tues. It’s now Thursday and she wants to cook them on Sat. Can she keep them in the fridge til then and they will keep fine? Or should she (and can she) freeze them and then unfreeze on Sat and cook them?

Being that the lobster could have been caught prior to the purchase of them. Your best bet is to go off of smell. If the lobster has a fishy smell, they are no good. If the lobster has no smell at all, you are good to go.

I would like to cook for a few people, a fine meal!?

I like to cook, it would be fun to cook for a select group of people that would like a good meal. I would like there opinion of it afterwards. Does this sound crazy?
Libbiami, Cooking Club Man you must be a genious!!!! I have never heard of such, but what a wonderfull ideal. I would love to do this!!! How would I get started, who would I invite?

Sounds like us. We get together with family for large meals sometimes even overnight guests. Here is article developed from that life experience of over 30 years.

If you are going to cook for a group of people decide ahead of time HOW you are going to do it and what you can serve that is fairly easy in preparation

Good luck.

Is there chef Ramsey in da house? Ok, a good chef is fine….I need help on cooking a beef steak?

What are the ingredients do I need (specific brand names)?

How long should I marinate?

What kind of steak should I buy? Rib eyes? Sirloid? At what price? $8/lbs, $12/lbs?

Does Smart and Final store has everything that I need to prepare for a good beef steak?

Should I use gasoline grill or charcoal grill?

Ok, I’m very very very suck at cooking, so please be as specific as you can and walk me through all the steps.

marinade : red wine, crush 2 garlic cloves ,add 1/2 teaspoon of ginger powder ,a dash of soy sauce ,mix together add steak of your choice ,( I personally recommend rib eye ) to stand for 1 hr. turn over to make sure it is well covered ,allow to stand a further hour ,strain ,preheat your b.b.q. charcoal is the most recognised ,lightly oil the plate ,place steak on leave until the juice within the steak just starts to come to the surface ,turn over and this action seals in the flavours of the beef ,allow to sizzle ,if you want rare push gently on the meat with your finger ,if it is soft to touch its rare ,turn steak over again feel if it is slightly firm its on the way to medium ,to well done ,bear in mind that when you remove the meat from the grill ,its own heat keeps cooking the meat ,so basically if its to be eaten straight away , grill to plate " bingo " way to go
