I broil in the oven (wildman–just had to replace my broiler element) and
grill outside. I also fry, boil, and bake. I recently purchased a set of
Calaphon non-stick pans and skillets because I got tired of scrubbing pans
and skillets. A great buy in my opinion. Cleans quickly.
I use George sparingly and mostly for vegetables. I also use the slow cooker
sparingly for stews etc. because, living alone, I end up throwing a lot of
leftovers out unless I have company or family over. My bread machine has
been inactive since I found out I am a non-secretor. I miss fresh-baked
bread. I don’t boil meat usually because I prefer the crisp fat resulting
from broiling or frying. Even if I’m making a roast in the slow cooker, I’ll
brown it in a skillet to get that “cooked fat” taste.
As a guy, I crave the protein and fat and only eat the vegetables and salads
as side dishes. Red meat is a staple for me and if I substitute chicken or
fish too much I find myself getting hungry in the evening. I do eat pork
occasionally but make sure it’s suitably burned.
