Kitchen help for Miggy? Thanks. | |
| Miggy Ever yours. Ever mine. Ever ours.  User ID: 1445345  United States12/16/2012 04:20 PM  Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Guys, I am slowly rebuilding a kitchen pantry and am able to buy 4 spices this week that I will use for cooking. Aldi's have them for sale for $1 each. My sister has already given me salt, pepper, chili powder and ground cinnamon. If I can buy 4 more spices to add to my collection what do you think they should be? For instance, is it better to have garlic powder instead of garlic salt? Minced onion rather than chopped onion? Baking soda rather than baking powder? Any thoughts will be appreciated as you guys NEVER let me down. PS. I'm on a religious thread at the moment so won't get to check back here until right before i head out the door. Thanks, buddies.  Miggy PS. The majority of cooking I do at the moment is based on rather bland (yet staple and filling) food. So I mainly need to flavor potatoes, rice, dried spaghetti and bread.

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 26988139 United States12/16/2012 04:28 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Garlic powder since you have salt already. Baking powder since you can do more with it and also you can process it into a baking soda paste. Lastly, chopped onion. (: God bless sister! Ooh and a Good all-around seasoning salt is good. Your kitchen is a blessing! Keep on keeping on!!  |

| tag067663 User ID: 12853865 Australia12/16/2012 04:39 PM  Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It depends also on what flavours you like. Garlic powder is good, and versatile. Corriander and Cumin if you like Indian/Middle Eastern Flavours. Dried Mustard, if you like the flovour. Paprika is great for Spanish flavours. Italian herbs like basil, oregano, or a blend is great for pasta's. There is a good list here: [link to ideas.thenest.com] Baking powder is useful, you can make plain flour into self raising flour by adding this. I would search around for the types of recipes you would like to make....like at cooks.com...or simply google the main ingredients you generally use like "potato bean pasta recipe" and then buy the spices etc that suit those recipes. I love watching these...

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 11211450 United States12/16/2012 04:58 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Garlic for sure,,,forget the garlic salt, you can add salt to dishes. Italian Seasoning....good for spaghetti sauce etc. and is combined basil / oregano / etc. so you get these in the mix. Get both the baking powder and baking soda...baking recipes can call for both, or just one of them, and you can save money by making your own muffins etc. Happy cooking Miggie ! |

Just get the aluminum free baking powder. The cheap ones with aluminum in them make food taste nasty and bitter. |

AC, I am happy to know this about the Italian seasoning because I never really knew what it was and many of the recipes I look at call for that combination. But do I really need baking powder? Currently my sister cares for my Doxies but I get to see them once a week. They are confused and two have made a "mess" recently. Since they're potty-trained I have never had to deal with this. I think the baking soda will come in handy, don't you? More so than baking powder? Be Still and know that I am God. -Psalms 46:10 |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 30030882  France12/16/2012 05:07 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | baking powder and baking soda aren't spices. neither is minced onion. I use Nutmeg a lot this time of year to enhance root vegetables and also cakes and biscuits. Whole or powdered clove is usful too. I never use any dried herbs apart from a basic herbes de provence mix for topping quiches and tatrs before baking and finally I love my paprika. it can make a plain beef stew just that bit extra special and goes well if you sprinkle it on warming winter root veg soups. celery slats and garlic salts and all that are a total waste of time. use celery and garlic and salt! |
