A Great Choice for Your Kitchen
Silicone cooking utensils are becoming more and more popular these days. I was in my favorite gourmet cookware store and they had a pretty good display of silicone cookware and utensils.
It just so happens that I was looking to replace an old basting brush that I had. I have never had any luck with basting brushes no matter what they were made of. I have used natural bristle brushes and nylon, they never seem to hold up well or last very long.
I decided to pick up a silicone basting brush while I was there. One of the advantages that I immediately picked up on about this cooking utensil is it appeared to be quite flexible and there is no need to worry about bristles shedding or for more details visit to www.chicken-wing-cookbook.com fraying. Also they work well with non-stick cookware because they are soft and flexible and will not damage the non-stick surface. They will work well with traditional cookware sets also.
The next day I threw some ribs on the grill and decided to try out this new silicone brush. Well let me tell you, for more details visit to www.chef-123.com this basting brush really worked well. It held the BBQ sauce that I was using to baste the ribs better than any other traditional brush I have ever used. It is also dishwasher safe and cleaned up well in the dishwasher.
This gourmet cookware store also had a pretty good selection of silicon
bakeware and other cookware. Now I don’t know if this type of cookware is right for all kitchen uses but it is definitely worth looking at and evaluating it on a case by case basis.
Since I was pleased at the way this simple basting brush worked I will definitly be looking at other silicone utensils like spatulas spoons and other cookware.
What I have learned about silicone cookware is that it is not totally a non stick cookware. Some manufacturers of this type of cookware and bakeware still recommend that you grease or lightly flour it before using it.
Some advantages of silicon cookware, bakware and utensils are that they are stain resistent, dishwasher safe, will not retain odors or flavors and cools down quickly.

How's your university / college cafeteria?
I’m just wondering what other university cafeterias are like. I’m thinking mainly of the one connected to the dormitories / residences for students who live on campus.
My university contracted food services out to Chartwell’s. I’m actually really impressed with the quality of the food. There are usually two meat-based choices for entrees and one vegetarian choice. Those are based on a nightly theme. Then there is a salad bar, pizza bar, pasta bar and burger bar that serves the same things every day.
The not-so-great would include the dessert selection (your choice of like, two cookies), the bland pastries and the fact that they stop serving hot food at 7:30 pm (I think it should be open until at least 9:00). The prices are also REALLY expensive; I’m glad my on-campus studio apartment has a kitchen! A typical dinner with the daily special meat, grain and veggies would cost about $7 US ($9 Canadian).
How’s the food service at your school?

It is getting worse bu the semester. They cook it themsleves. I wish they would contact it to an outsider, but it doesn’t look like that.
we pay around $900 for a semester and that is for 19 meals a week.
you can have as much food as you can , but only in the cafeteria. no food is allowed outside the caffeteria except for a cone of ice-cream.
What do you think, is it a good deal or?
