Don’t Wash Your Chicken – Sanitize It Using An Ozone Generator For Water!

Don’t Wash Your Chicken, quotes recent headlines from around the nation. These headlines cite the many health risks associated with spreading bacteria all over the kitchen as a result of washing your chicken at home in the kitchen sink.

For years, famous cooks from Julia Child to Martha Stewart have recommended washing your poultry, prior to cooking it, and cookbooks from around the world have repeated this advice.

Recent research from Drexler University in Pennsylvania, coupled with research from New Mexico State University, has suggested that chicken washing can actually result in germs being spread all over the kitchen. Germs are often spread from sink, to counter top, to cheese, to produce and then on to the washer’s t-shirt or clothing spreading deadly germs, and greatly increasing the risk of poultry born illness and disease for the family in the home.

Different Methods on Keeping Chickens

Keeping chicken can be a very thrilling activity especially for those who love them. Depending on the reason behind keeping the birds, the choice of birds will also determine the method of keeping them. People who keep chickens as pets may not need to take very elaborate grilling on the art of keeping chickens. Nonetheless, chickens are all the same in one aspect, thus the food they eat and problems that may affect them.

Free-range method

The free-range method means the hens are free to roam around in a secure area. This time old method has been practiced in several parts of the world with great success. Letting the hens roam around has great benefits to both the hens and the farmer.

The hens are able to balance their diet naturally by foraging for insects and pests and even vegetables and fruits as they roam the vicinity.

Low-Calorie Chicken Recipes

I am not going to start another lecture on healthy diet, what should you eat and what not to eat, blah, blah, blah. On the web, you can find enough articles about that. Staying healthy and fit does not involve the idea that you should only eat vegetables and fruits. I know how tough it is, not to respond to the alluring calls of pizzas, burgers or other spicy, cheesy foods. And for what? Because you want to keep your waistline trimmed, forever. And this can never happen if you keep your taste buds happy. Hence, you ditch the animal protein from your diet. Really? You think so?

Shedding pounds does not include that you eat less, but eat the foods or dishes of less calorie. If you are following a diet plan that cuts all that you love to eat, does not sound well. Mark my words, you cannot follow that meal plan for a long time. Here are some low-calorie chicken recipes that will help you to stay on the tracks of a healthy diet, as well as pampering your taste buds. Continue reading “Low-Calorie Chicken Recipes”

French Way of Making Chicken Stock

God bless the French for introducing the world to fine cuisine! For if it weren’t the French, the world would have never known about the different gourmet sauces, the different cooking techniques and of course the huge variety of cheese (almost 400 of them)! Speaking of cooking techniques, some words have no equal equivalent in English and are thus addressed by their French name. Sauté and Braise are two such terms that I know off; I’m sure there must be more!

Coming back to our topic, the French have indeed mastered the art of making stocks. No true blue French cook would ever dream of using the canned or powdered variety of stock for his sauces. All their stocks are prepared in the kitchen using the freshest of ingredients. This perhaps explains the reason why a French chef carefully preserves the carcass of the every meat… from veal, beef, chicken, and even fish. Before you could even begin to understand about the different sauces, it’s important to get the different broths, including the chicken stock right.
