I keep a few items like salt and sugar in glass jars but in general I want to avoid glass because my hands are clumsy, I drop things. As far as I can tell, Rubbermaid has few vertical containers, and the ones they do have are much too big. Any suggestions / recommendations? #Post#: 5703-------------------------------------------------- Re: Foodie Q&As By: ThistlePDX Date: August 23, 2021, 1:18 pm --------------------------------------------------------- [quote author=GoodnightGracie link=topic=120.msg5659#msg5659 date=1629739329] Food-related query: I'd like to get a few non-glass food-grade containers that hold 5-6 cups and a couple of containers that hold about 10 cups, for pantry food storage, but I want to them to be vertical rather than horizontal.

[/quote] I like the OXO "pop-ups" (you press a button on top of the container to seal/unseal the top). They've got lots of vertical choices. I also have a few containers, which I probably found at Home Goods, that have a flip-up latch on top, and I like those. I don't have the labels for them, but the name on the bottom of the container appears to be "Felli" (yup, I looked 'em up: Felli "Flip-Tite," available a number of places including Target). Both brands seal positively and have a number of sizes/shapes available in vertical mode. Rigid, non-BPA plastic, easy to label with a Dymo or other labeler. #Post#: 5742-------------------------------------------------- Re: Foodie Q&As By: HeddyL2627 Date: August 23, 2021, 2:08 pm --------------------------------------------------------- I really like the Oxo pop-tops but, if you're inclined to drop things I'd check elsewhere first. Spouse has cracked two Oxo flour containers by dropping them onto the linoleum floor from their shelf, about 20" above. #Post#: 5760-------------------------------------------------- Re: Foodie Q&As By: Queenie Date: August 23, 2021, 2:32 pm --------------------------------------------------------- Walmart.com has a bunch of options. #Post#: 5777-------------------------------------------------- Re: Foodie Q&As By: ricksterps Date: August 23, 2021, 2:53 pm --------------------------------------------------------- Doing my first tofu dish tonight. Any tips? I did dry it out which I didn't know until yesterday. We got super firm because people say that one has the best texture. #Post#: 5807-------------------------------------------------- Re: Foodie Q&As By: HeddyL2627 Date: August 23, 2021, 3:16 pm --------------------------------------------------------- If it wasn't packed in water, no need to press. My preferred method of cooking is to cube and roast. Or, you can stir fry. Heat oil to sizzling, add chunks of tofu. Let it sit and sear on one side before flipping. #Post#: 5939-------------------------------------------------- Re: Foodie Q&As By: ricksterps Date: August 23, 2021, 5:11 pm --------------------------------------------------------- [quote author=HeddyL2627 link=topic=120.msg5807#msg5807 date=1629749766] If it wasn't packed in water, no need to press.

[/quote]Thanks Heddy I seared it in some oil. It was good. I will cut into smaller cubes next time. Also may try your air fry method. #Post#: 7071-------------------------------------------------- Re: Foodie Q&As By: MinArlington Date: August 25, 2021, 3:14 pm --------------------------------------------------------- [quote author=rickroll link=topic=120.msg5939#msg5939 date=1629756669] [quote author=HeddyL2627 link=topic=120.msg5807#msg5807 date=1629749766] If it wasn't packed in water, no need to press.

[/quote] Late to the party, but I highly recommend air-frying tofu cubes! You can season them however you want -- I treat them like any other protein, marinating them in a highly seasoned marinade such as soy/tamari/liquid aminos + ginger, gochujang or pepper flakes, sesame oil. Drain, then air fry. You can also drain then toss in corn starch if you'd like but I don't find it necessary or more tasty that way. Shake the basket every few minutes and keep going until they are the level of crispiness you want. Beware though, they are addictive and you can eat them by the handful this way. You can mix up the seasonings however you want... Mexican, Indian, Middle Eastern... it's all good. Also if you have not discovered Butler's Soy Curls yet, they make an excellent stand-in for meat in things like stir-fries, fajitas, shawarma, buffalo not-chicken etc. And the air fryer is a great way to cook them as well. #Post#: 7098-------------------------------------------------- Re: Foodie Q&As By: NoLongerAubergine Date: August 25, 2021, 3:48 pm --------------------------------------------------------- [quote author=Queenie link=topic=120.msg4811#msg4811 date=1629595623] I'm not a red kidney bean fan. I often use Roman beans instead. I don't like the thick skins on red kidney beans. [/quote] I feel that way about the tough skins on Great Northerns. I usually substitute cassoulet beans. I've never seen Roman beans and had to look them up. Would a cranberry bean be similar? ***************************************************** DIR Previous Page DIR Next Page
